Sorry I died on you, after telling you I had the most played time in this game.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me if you read this.

How do you even find this out??

pein · 2018-06-06 02:47:48

fragilityh14 · 2018-06-06 06:06:56

I'm apparently only at 106 hours LOL.

though my wife played a bit on the same account when I first started, she may account for like 6 of that.

How do you find out how many hours you've played?

Yeah, considering you had so little, and gave me so much, I figured an apology was in order.
Even though I died right in front of you, with, I think, a berry in my hand, and I imagine you took the backpack right back with a sigh.

I have a very serious problem that even Jason has had to make a message about recently; I'm so bent on being the most efficient player I can be, especially when it comes to food, that I have taken to eating whatever I have when my food meter is lowest. That way, if it's a Burdock or Cactus Fruit and I, say, only have 8 or 9 pips on my food meter, I waste the absolute least possible.

I've gotten really good at this. As I know, based on the last place I was standing still, generally what my temp meter read, and, given my lack of clothing and the audio cues, I'm really god at getting the most seconds out of that last pip. But, with the lag I get on occasion, or the desire to get out an extra word, or action, before I make that dash for food, well, I think we all know it doesn't always contribute the most to our home, if we died trying to be that efficient.

In contrast there are players in all fur, eating through berry farms in the desert, and nudes that stand two tiles outside a desert, doing the same thing, filling up on berries and just standing there, neglecting their temp meter, gorging on everyone's food supply.

If you, any of you reading this, not just you Buttcheeks , suspect you may be guilty of this behavior, I want you to understand this one point, if nothing else;

THE TEMP METER DETERMINES HOW FAST YOUR FOOD METER RUNS OUT!

It's not a trivial amount, either!

It's the difference between 2 seconds per food meter pip, and 22 seconds per food meter pip. This is why utilizing the warmth of the desert is so critically important. It's not too hot, if you;re not on the desert in fur, or put a fire on the desert in front of the blacksmith, forcing the person trying to do the smithing to eat food every 10 seconds!

Naked on the grassland, you get 5 seconds per pip.
Naked on the prairie, you get 5 seconds per pip.
Naked on the swamp, you get 5 seconds per food meter pip.
Naked on the badlands, you get 5 seconds per food meter pip.
Naked on the desert, you get 10 seconds per food meter pip.
Naked on the tundra, you get 2 seconds per food meter pip.
Naked outside the edge of the desert, you get 10-15 seconds per food meter pip.
Naked inside the edge of the desert, you get 15-22 seconds per food meter pip.

Making a roaring fire on that grassland home may give your babies 20 seconds per food meter pip, but you are wasting branches midgame turning them into kindling, and trees; turning them into firewood, late game. Not to mention you are breaking hatchets and axes and going through milkweed, soil, water, branches, stone, iron, charcoal, and the food to feed the people who have to make those tools, all just to do so.

MAKING A ROARING FIRE ON A DESERT TILE AND PUTTING YOUR BABY THERE, KILLS THE BABY!
Or at the very least causes them to have to say F every 5 seconds, if they are new and don't know any better, and if you are a new, attentive mother, it will make your life a LIVING HELL!
DON'T DO THIS!

If you are a baby and someone does this to you, or worse, dresses you in full furs while you're siting there watching your food meter drop like a lead weight, pitched down from the top of the Empire State Building by Nolan Ryan, THAN MOVE!
Take it upon yourself to make sure your temperature is balanced by moving onto a warmer tile and if your mother gives you shit about you moving from the spot she keeps trying to place you, give her a U after that F. Na, jk, be nice. Say something like T O O H O T or even just T E M P, but don't stand there and get cooked!

Please folks, I want you to live! Not be slaves to your stomachs. This is an important aspect of the game, and understanding it will benefit you and your civilization, at every stage of it's development, but it's especially important for Eve's and their children struggling to get farmed food going while the forageable food within the area around the home is steadily diminishing.

Also, just because you should balance your temp, doesn't mean you have to find that nice warm spot, with a perfect balance in the middle of the berry farm and just sit there for 60 minutes, what possible fun would that be? Your temperature is only changed when you stop moving, so, if you are standing on a roaring fire in the middle of the grasslands, or, naked on just the right corner of a desert biome, you can set out from there with that perfectly balanced temp and travel for years without eating!

Let's say you manage to get 20 seconds per pip on that perfectly balanced temp tile.

How long to you have, to run without stopping, before you are down to your last pip?
3=60 seconds, 0:01:00
4=80 seconds, 0:01:20
5=100 seconds, 0:01:40
6=120 seconds, 0:02:00
7=140 seconds, 0:02:20
8=160 seconds, 0:02:40
9=180 seconds, 0:03:00
10=200 seconds, 0:03:20
11=220 seconds, 0:03:40
12=240 seconds, 0:04:00
13=260 seconds, 0:04:20
14=280 seconds, 0:04:40
15=300 seconds, 0:05:00
16=320 seconds, 0:05:20
17=340 seconds, 0:05:40
18=360 seconds, 0:06:00
19=380 seconds, 0:06:20

So, from the age of 16 - 44, when you have 20 pips on your food meter, you can travel for over 6 minutes, 6 years of your life, without stopping, if you really wanted to, without eating. That is more than enough time to scout out a massive amount of real estate, not just for food and warm temperature tiles, but for resources; for rabbits, for iron, for seeds. For the perfect area to make a new home, if you so desire.

And thanks, to a post made by pein, I've realized something else; if you travel on a diagonal, with your cursor held down, or clicking, on one of the four corners of the screen, you are far less likely to click somewhere that you will stop moving, the like the top or bottom of a tall tree, if you are moving north to south while your temperature is locked. It gives the pathing system a lot more time to find an ideal route, with the increased distance as well, if you are navigating through a particularly dense patch of swamp trees, reeds and ponds. Just try to avoid travelling behind trees if you are near a desert, as snakes can occasionally be resting behind them. And I want you to have long, safe, and exciting journeys, out into the world around the places you find yourselves born.

Be brave. Don't fear the world. Master your temperature. Master your hunger. Master the clock. And live a long, productive life providing for your family.

And treat yourself with an early berry once in awhile. >.>

Leave a review of the game, via the game. Then, go to the home page: http://onehouronelife.com/ and click #### Player Reviews below the logo.

Or, you can just scroll down the home page, reviews are about 40% to 70% of the way down the page.

Chances are, if you haven't made the review recently, or you don't have much time played, you'll need to click More Reviews at the bottom of that list, to sort by recent reviews, or More Reviews to see a list sorted by hours played.

Hope that's enough to get you the info that you want.

I've also seen some nasty misinformation spreading in game when I ask something like "u kno how temp work?". I've gotten awful answers like "yeah stay hot", or "dont get hot". I know it's not 100% mathematically accurate but I usually go on to say something like "get temp in middle." "u eat ten times less". Often that alone gets an instant reaction.

Morti · 2018-06-06 17:20:25

Let me be clear about the temp thing, when I say you want it to be warmer, I do not mean hotter, unless you are cold.
By warmer I mean closer to the middle; you want your temp meter indicator to be centered, whenever possible, if your goal is to reduce the amount of food you are consuming and the time and reduce the amount of time you spend; searching for food, farming and preparing food. As it stands, it seems like a vast majority of our life is spent dealing with food concerns, and if we can manage our temps more closely, we free up a large amount of our time to do other things, like stand around and chat, create roads and buildings, or work on other projects.

I'm sure that in the future, as Jason works on more tech for us to create in game, that more 'modern' material, say, for clothes, will be a thing, or, furnaces to heat surrounding areas or air conditioning units, to cool them, all of this will be released in time. For now though, things are pretty simple and straight forward, we have the food meter and the temp meter, and the simplest, easiest way to get the most out of our food supply, is to live, at first, near the edge of the desert biome, and if we are going to expand, to do so onto the desert, for the sake of players without clothing, or to invest heavily into rabbit hunting, sheep herding and milkweed farming so we can tailor clothing to help players live less costly lives in other biomes.

I'm perfectly fine being naked deep in a desert biome with nothing but a backpack on giving me 10 seconds per pip. Some of you may not want your dingle berries or milk bags hangin out in the fresh air and that's all on you. Maybe you just want a really snazzy red wool cap and a blue wool sweater and matching booties. Fine. But if you're wearing clothing on the desert, you're just making the food situation worse for yourselves and for your family. Same goes for being nude out on the grassland, placing your farm out on the grass when a nice warm desert is just a screen or two away. When it's the farmers who are consuming 2-10x or more food due to the location of the farm, that means less food for the people doing everything else, like gathering resources far and wide to make up for what is not yet at home, or out there finding things that have run out. When you lose them, you lose the people who know the lay of the land around your settlement, and everyone in it either has to make due without that, or then go investing time scouring the land, looking for those resources, which then costs everyone even more.

Things aren't quite as bad now as they were in the past, sure, iron is a little more scarce, but food is plentiful compared to what it used to be, but give it time and this can all change. Good personal habits are always useful. Don't get lulled into a false sense of security by the calm before the storm. Take this time, now that we have more abundant than usual food supplies, to practice good habits, you'll need them when the shit hits the fan again.
