Yeah. We could have a starter biome that is easy to initially survive in, but unsuitable for farming. And all the other biomes would be hot, cold, or dangerous, so you'd try to stay inside all the time.
Clothes could be like spacesuits, lol. You need one to go outside without instantly turning into ice, but you also need to take it off inside to avoid overheating.

This would make people build a lot, and also spend a lot of time together.
Functionally this would be like turning all outside work into hungry work.

Well, no, not really. You'd still be able to waste food by wandering outside and burning pips for no reason. And it wouldn't make the 80% more productive, they we'd just waste less.

I'm totally mentioning it in my resume if I ever want to be hired as the idea guy, lol. Thanks, Jason :)

Oh, interesting! Jason also added an order system a few hours after the main update. How did orders work in your game?

Edit: moved to a new thread: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewt … ?pid=83346

...Jason, do you by any chance have any friends who have worked as CEOs?..

It looks like we have veteran players who know what to do, but no way for them to teach other people?

Let's assume the hierarchy system will actually work, and Alice, a veteran player, will become everyone's leader. What would be the best way to organize a town full of noobs? Again, assuming that they only know basics but are willing to do what she tells them to do.

If ~30 minutes of teaching is not enough, and she'll get more done by doing everything on her own, then maybe we need to make training easier. What would be the perfect tool for teaching people really fast?

Could they have died earlier than people from your previous life? You might need to scroll a bit more. Otherwise try posting this in Bug Discussions in case it is indeed a bug.

Well, it does make sense for orders that need to be adapted for each branch. When the king says "collect milkweed", it may make sense for the baron to order someone to find a cart, instead of expecting everyone to just charge off into the wilderness with baskets and sharp stones at random.

Cars could be infinitely fast on the roads, but extremely slow on the ground. This way they're actually useful for long-distance travel along well-established routes, and it's really hard to lose them in the wilderness.

I think it would be less of a problem than it looks like, for two reasons:
1. It's very easy to recognize and ignore a line that you've already seen before. The more often it's repeated, the easier.
2. The leaders have full control over this.

It's also beneficial as a reminder, and it gives information to players that don't follow the same leader.

Another problem I see is that it's hard to tell whether something is an original thought or an automatic one.
(But again, same as real life: you don't know if you're being told an original idea. Except on Twitter, where retweets are explicit.)

If orders are sticky, the sticky note can be greyed out whenever the leader is too far.

It seems the solution is to continuously kill off people who stir trouble. If people are comfortable, there are enough resources to keep a few guards.

This is probably harder than it sounds, because people who don't like this boredom will keep coming back.

But I'm assuming it's also too hard to organize. Why? Someone would say that we're missing some kind of social technology.

Crazy idea: use emoji in combination with names as custom markers.

Now, even the forums don't support emoji, and you obviously can't use emoji in the game, BUT THAT'S JUST DETAILS ok ok

To exile someone, the king just posts an order: " TIMMY".
And then everyone who follows the king sees the same emoji over TIMMY's head.

And you'd be able to use this in regular speech. Use a blue arrow emoji to point at someone, etc. In this case everyone who hears you, sees the marker.

And notes, and maps. The note could mention some object on the map. Though I'm not exactly sure how we could possibly name objects.
