One Hour One Life Forums

Fixed the discord link, didn't realize it was set to expire in one day as someone told me on steam.  Lemme know in this thread if there's other issues with the discord, I've never made a channel.

Name bugs fixed and pushed, will be live when I update the server on friday for jason's changes.  If you were Aaby, you'll be something hopefully more interesting xD

Hah, I saw that too, that's my apron when I logged out there after seeing it.  There's two jason heads activated.  I was going to just deactivate the apocalypse on the next update tomorrow/friday, but I guess I'll just do it now xD

It's pretty much impossible to get the apocalypse rolling, though.

alright, shutting down the server for a second.

Edit: Alright, server back up, apocalypse off

Oh I don't care whether people /die tbh, just pointing out that people think /die has no affect on mother fertility because it resets the baby cooldown, when this is not the case: in fact, it actually can severely harm their fertility.

Well, /die doesn't mean the mother doesn't suffer some baby loss.  The average baby time is going to be (baby cooldown) + (time to next available baby).  Which can be a huge amount of time at low server population.  Once I had 3 babies, all SIDS.  If none had SIDSed, I probably would've had 2.  So it was actually a huge relative setback.

I don't get why people would want to hack around game logic to try and live longer than they should.  Why not just join a server with continuity? Mine's pretty small, but I hear 2hol is pretty big.  I decided I didn't enjoy it, so I never played again on the main servers.

Oh yeah, I think a while ago water had different regeneration than it does now, so you could make wells regenerate faster by emptying them.  or maybe that's still the case. Dunno.

Well, it's multiplayer, and you get an advantage to people not doing it, and it's officially discouraged.  That's pretty much the definition of cheating   It's true that it just affects you but think of it this way.   What if a client could magically make you not hunger at all?  Pretty obviously cheating, even though it only affects you.  And especially with towns competing for babies in the last few updates, your utility kinda does affect everyone, and people in other towns negatively.

Let's be real awbz does give you a pretty sizable advantage, probably greater than no hunger to an experienced player.  Ask yourself why you're using it in the first place and it becomes pretty clear how.

That said, the game is pretty sandboxy, non-discouraged options exist that seriously negatively impact other towns (griefing, /die) so I don't really see why anyone would care enough to stab someone, not to mention conversations are pretty awful without awbz. Step one foot away, view center shifts, oh no I can't hear you!

Might want to fully elaborate on fertility.  From what I undestand it's you get a weghting based on yum, temperature, and are picked for babies based on that weighting.

Example:

Mom1: Temp: mild (0.5 weight) + 8 yum (highest Yum on server, so 0.5 weight)
Mom2: Temp: hot (lets call it 0.2) + 2 yum (0.125)
Mom3: Temp: worst (0 weight) + 0 yum (0 weight)

Total weights:

Mom1:1
Mom2:0.325
Mom3:0

Baby chance:

Mom1: 1/1.375 = ~72%
Mom2: 0.375/1.375 = ~28%
Mom3: 0/1.375 = 0%

So basically, mom3 is essentially infertile, and mom1 is going to seriously pop out kids.

Ah yeah, building that road was crazy xD  My thoughts were anyone using an out of town road would use a car or horse or something, but a barricade is a good idea too!

Yeah I'm not sure how effective a curse system would be on a server with generally low population.  If griefers want, they can outnumber the players at any time, which the curse "voting" doesn't deal with very well.  My thinking is just getting several players I trust at various time zones SAY powers similar to cursing or banning.

Sweet.  That scared me a bit  xD  I was using jason's authentication system.  I'll look into this later, your stuff looks interesting   Right now my only way of handling a griefer is shutting down the server for a moment and blocking their email.

Now the big question is, does increasing the amount of bells past a certain point increase the amount of big cities or water them down?
