a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building

I wanted to make my ultimate road network and accidentally found it https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=7304
It is exactly in the middle of the map.
If you use hetuw mod, you can find it by first going to the top left corner of the map.
Then press R and then press T, this should create a new coord called T.
Then click on this T coord so it becomes 0, 0
Then press SHIFT + R and O and type in for x 353 and for y -353
Then click on the O coord so it becomes 0, 0 and go to 0, 0 (its the center of the map)
I started making roads in every direction:
The plan is to make them through out the entire map.
And to make a nice looking center, everyone can help building it.

Ha, that must have been a funny moment.
Clearing trees and being like "uhhh wtf is this?... ohhhh i see"

Ahhh! Yes! Good find!
I'm Slinky and I hate it here.
I also /blush.

In memory of Tarr and his fondness for coordinate hacks, a monument that serves as the ultimate coordinate hack.

That's a great plan you have! I had the idea last night of making a Trading post with a transmitter and a receiver somewhere on the map. That would be the perfect spot.
That way trading becomes a lot easier with families who don't speak the same language.

When building the roads when can build them so springs can indicate in which direction the center is.
The idea here is that if you look in the direction the road takes around the spring and then turn right, you will go towards the center.
This way we only need to find the next spring in order to know where the center is.
In the following images the red arrow indicates the direction of the center:
Sadly road building is dangerous, random people walk by and stab you:
i think we should make a code, like /love or /blush to show peace and dont let weapons laying around.
i started building bell tower bases and made the center look a bit better:
other people joined and helped extending the roads and making it a better place:

I think it's a lovely idea, but with how easy it is to remove roads I'm just waiting for a griefer to come along

Don't ever not do something good because someone might ruin it someday. Even if that someone is Jason, with all the resets he's added.
If you really think like that, whats the use of doing anything?
People will appreciate it.
People who will never know you, or that it was you who did the work, will appreciate it.
In making something, it is not certain when or how it will be undone, but what it certain, is that you did it.

a road goes now from the center all the way down to the rift:

Its as easy to remove them as it is to build them. So its not really worth griefing it.
If a guy runs along a road and dismantles it you can just as easy build it again, the stones are all there, if he carries them away, its a lot of work for the griefer.
But i dont think people grief roads, they are useful for everyone, even for griefers.

first bell tower compelete:
made by many different people, the first bell tower inside a rift,
this makes it now easy to find the center

Got plans for the design?
I'm just working on bringing the diagonal roads in.
Maybe we can incorporate the ponds to the northwest into a little gazebo area?
Not that we have gazebos, but maybe just some wooden floors around them, like patios?
Offline
like patios?
This is kinda what I'm thinking, incorporate them into the gardens, like koi ponds, but maybe with paths around them so someone can use them to water the plants that might need a little?
Offline
This was another idea. It'd keep the path going around the center a little wider, and the contrast might look nice.
Also, I would advice against trees in the two corners just below the monument, like maples or mangoes, they wold probably grow to block it.

Morti you can build whatever you want in the center, i dont think anyone has plans

Hey, I just finished the second bell tower also I removed the pine tree (didn't fit imho).
Last life was kind of schizophrenic, I was a Ming. I killed an eve, then adopted her child, then i forged the bell out of two recycled crowns, then after I finished the bell I went on a little murder spree in the center with another Ming.

I was there in my last life. Some people added red flowers, and there were two bears running around on either side. It was southwest of our gated village, and we has tons of bear skins from hunting down there. There were always bearskins because bears just kept showing up down there. We literally had a whole room full of bearskin rugs because it was so damn profitable. We also carted a lot of clothes back up north from there.

I lived a life peacefully with only foreigners.
I planted some berry bushes, beans for green beans and corn because there was nothing to eat. A bunch of babies were born there during this life. I was a male but I took care of some abandonned ones. I also skinned mouflons west to dress babies. We all gathered in the middle and lifted our hats as a tribute to Tarr.
And at the very end of my life, one guy was luring 5 or 6 bears to the monument.

Is it time to block all bear caves or organize a bear hunting party in a town overflowing with arrows and bows to clear all bears once per day?
I mean, us humans, we made the wolves go extinct in palces plenty of times, time to do give the ole human supremacy treatment to animals in ohol...

yes. it was VERY peaceful for many hours, but the more diagonal roads where added and most cities lost their silly berrymincher-slave-fenches, the more people came from all directions, usually with war swords rather quickly.
so i made a bear-guard thing, many bears in map center, so map center is best littered, and the littering diminishes efficiency of war swords there.
no, i make sure that the bears stay.
good luck making arrows without milkweed.
good luck blocking all the bear caves.

This is so cool and heart warming

Update:
there are also more roads now and many very long roads,
i have no idea how many people worked on all of this.
But sadly the murder rate is very high, many many people got murdered there, too much war, this should not be a war game.

I just found out you can even see the roads on wondibles amazing map: https://onemap.wondible.com/
All the points are where someone died, you can also see many villages on it. (and how they made property fences around it)
Offline
yes, they are deadly roads of deadl fun.
