One Hour One Life Forums

Don't panic. It has come about because the update was rolling out and the servers were shutting down, but a small bug in the new snake data was discovered at the last minute, so Jason interrupted the update to fix that. It seems you got the client update before the process was interrupted. Just keep trying to reconnect, or if you're impatient, reinstall the game.

I've made a simple mod where players can opt in and out of having babies.

Hmmm, that's a little bit light. Sorry chief, this might not be the game for you. Not on that machine anyway.

What hardware are you using?

So it would be possible for the procgen to come up with a recipe like curved shaft + rabbit hole = escaped riding horse? I don't see that as a selling point. I must be misunderstanding.

Yeah, that has been suggested too, and I love the idea. Would probably lead to people building the trigger up to the last step, and waiting for the update to be ready, then triggering it. And I can imagine some cocky noob coming along and triggering it too early, just before the update, so that we have to rebuild it from scratch to get the update now ARGH! Drama

What do we need in real life? Food is the most obvious one. Warmth, which you already have, and which affects food consumption. Shelter is just warmth, which is already in game. Other needs are more emotional/mental, but that's always really difficult to implement as a game mechanic. I've seen games with mood meters and things like that. The Sims comes to mind, but really? Do you want to recreate Sims?

I had an idea about industries and trade that kind of lends itself to this discussion. What if every biome was capable of sustaining a settlement in terms of food, at least up to a moderate size, but in order to advance up the tech tree, resources were required from combinations of biomes. You already have this to some degree, but mostly it's just iron that's needed. If you built on that kind of diversity a little more, then Eve and her descendants would be able to setlle anywhere, and then once they got established, set out exploring to find the other resources needed to develop further, possibly setting up new settlements in those areas, possibly coming across other already existing settlements, and establishing trade routes.

Of course, this all does come back to the fact that food is everything in this game at the moment, and there is no other need. If you want everything to be driven by need, then we need more needs.

You could change it from a lineage ban to a server ban, and kick them to the next server down the line.

They're not supposed to. They're supposed to learn from other players. That's the point of this game, humanity working together to better itself. The ineractions between players are the central focus of this game.

Should I set up a server running my fatherhood mod so people can try it out?

The mobile app should help a little.
