after making 2......... 3? i dont even know "how to" guides ive realized that most of the new players arent gonna be using the forums. i sure didnt when i started out. i only found it by googling "how to make rope ohol" and eventually led up to joining the forum. if u have a new baby tell it that there are so many guides on the forums n to check it out. maybe they just dont know that the forums exists and is a helpful place... sometimes

i made another post going in-depth on dirt if u still need it
some of u wanna get down n dirty. heres another guide

the pile of dirt to the right is composted dirt. ( https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2633 heres a post on composting and sheep)
u can get dirt by clicking an empty basket onto it

put that shit down on the ground
in 1 basket of dirt there are 3 bowls of dirt. if u move a bowl of dirt u cant pick it up in a basket anymore

^3 bowls of dirt

^2 bowls of dirt

^1 bowl of dirt
but u can move bowls of dirt from one pile to another (so if u want to pick up a basket of dirt and u have a pile of dirt that contains 2 bowl of dirt and another pile with only 1 bowl of dirt u can move that one bowl of dirt to the one with 2 bowls of dirt to pick it up in a basket)

^on top left here you see a fully hardened tilled row. to be able to till it to plant things in it ull have to put a bowl of dirt on it

and then hoe it
<- this is a plantable tilled row
if u hoe a pile with 3 bowls of dirt u get a fully tilled plantable row
same with a pile with 2 bowls of dirt
but u only get a half tilled row with 1 bowl of dirt





so 1 bowl of dirt = has to be hoed twice
now heres some on wells

if u see a bucket with water dripping out of it like this it means there is water inside and u can click on that bucket with a bowl to get water

u cant use the bucket itself to water crops
if u see the bucket has no water on the floor beneath it that means its empty. pick it up and go to ur nearest deep well


if u see it has green shit on the bottom right of the well that means there is water in the well. click the bucket on the well to get water

if u see it has no green shit on the bottom right and there are cobwebs on the top left that means the well is empty. it will refill over time but u can fill the bucket manually using a bowl at a pond or a shallow well
u can only use a bucket on a DEEP WELL. thats the wells pictured here with the bucket dangling from it. the other well is a SHALLOW WELL. u can only get water from a shallow well with a bowl or a water pouch. u cannot get water from a deep well using a bowl or a water pouch
hope this helped!

now get mauled by a wolf while tryna get maple branches for a new hoe
its all the same kind of soil

^ if it looks like this u can use a skewer to hoe it or a stone hoe or a steel hoe

^ in 1 basket of dirt there are 3 bowls of dirt. if u move 1 bowl of dirt, leaving 2 bowls of dirt u can still hoe it for a full row (and consume less dirt)
https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2833
if u scroll down to the bottom this is where i got the images
edit: u have to use the skewer/hoe on the dirt pile to turn it into a tilled row. idk where u were struggling but i hope this helps!
holy memory reading abilities I was literally thinking of doing this last night both because I couldn't find it and to learn stuff. This definitely needs to go into the wiki as well as being split into several articles... maybe a tutorial like map?
The only thing I'll suggest differently is not to waste time on fur -> water pouch. Bowls are better IMO since you normally make camp near swamps.
Let's see how building up on this can happen.
its really only to make the bellows tbh. w/ the bucket all u really need in life is a bucket n a bowl
might be the same group of triplets in other forums since they all seem so eager to murder. most twins are ok though
I know it was 2 am when you were making the guide, but sometimes when you say 'save on tinder' do you mean saving on kindling? Sorry to be editorial, I just wanted to clarify.
Thanks again for the pictures! They really help visual learners.
nice catch. ill get to editing that tonight when im done w/ classes (fucking night classes man, like 9 pm??? really???). maybe ill add pictures to the sheep domestication tut while im at it

You realize that we all get born male and female 50/50 right, that its RNG? Maybe you think the females are less competent because they keep being distracted by babies, just like they do in real life.
in the past few weeks most of my daughters have been new. i think 1/5 was ok at surviving. the rest would starve. my sons on the other hand know what "rope" and "fire bow" is. which is an upgrade. maybe my luck as been different from yours
Yes Alex and Aleck were good.. until they decide to go on a killing trip. I was there too, Emily Delayour II, and Aleck killed the first person (She said). So when I saw Alex I tried to kill him but he saw me coming lol. Then I lagged and lost my knife, next thing I know was that he was chasing me with a knife. So we run around the whole town until someone could kill him.
Was funny though, never run around in circles with a chaser.. But tripling griefers are.. meh.
ah mustve been waiting for me to die before committing crimes... hope they only got to the old ones. at least iroh was a good kid
also xan that looks rad as fuck
was playing in the delatour family
http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=568729
our pop was dwindling a bit for a big town so when triplets popped out of a passing cousin i did my best to save them. named them alex, aleck, and ali (though i could have named him alexander i suppose- i ran out of al names). they were all screaming "Q" and "F" so i tried leading them to a nursing female cousin, but she didnt feed them and even let one of her own starve. so i fed em a couple of berries and hoped for the best. they were all good kids. ali died a lil early (disconnected i believe) but the other two stuck around and helped out. i adopted another son i named irony (turned to iroh) and he was good help around the farm. really reaffirmed my belief that most smart babies are born male tbh. all my kids were 10/10. would adopt again. itd be cool if adopted babies showed up in the family tree. id like to see my kids up there
(i also named a lil girl who had a mom. i just like naming all the babies, especially since i was a guy and couldnt have any of my own

PEIN'S GUIDES MASTERPOST: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4411
This is super simple but really effective- past guides I've tried to read have mostly just been paragraphs of explanations that tend to go over my head, so I've had to figure things out on my own or wait for the rare patient player to teach me. Having an image for example helps a ton.
thanks howling, i also have a hard time understanding big word guides & adhd doesnt really help w/ reading big texts
Maybe a more in-depth eve guide could go with it, sort of as a companion? This seems mostly to be a "here's what you need and how to make it" guide to match the tutorial, so something that gives some bonus information about things you'll face outside the tutorial might be helpful in this simple picture-esque style as well.
Maybe answer questions such as....
yeah these things probably need guides too... it just takes forever to make these picture guides cos u have to live out the life and thats already an hour on its own and then u have to put the images in order n write up a whole post which takes a million years
i did a sheep domestication and farm life guide before: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2633 ill get around to adding pictures to it eventually. maybe ill make a compilation of all the guides that are up to date for now... and figure out how the wiki works so i can add this to it....
https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewt … 583#p23583
also pein has a good guide with nice pics
try the ohol or 2hol discord group. they generally have a coding section or the like
How thorough. Thanks! We should add a cooking guide too so people don't starve.
yea maybe someone will add onto this with the cooking guide eventually... or maybe ill do it someday. it just takes a bit longer to get to cooking cos u gotta do all the smiting n setting up first. maybe ill take pics from an eve camp if i get a good one going
Thanks for the guide! Have you considered adding this to the wiki? Might be nice to split it up into several smaller guides.
i dont really know how to add onto the wiki but if someone wants to use these pics to add onto it theyre welcome to
i had some good twins the other day. two girls who were both decent at surviving. lived to mid adulthood (i think i named them joy and joyce?) one died early but the other one stayed behind till she died in the famine
an ultimate super guide for new players
if u spawn as an eve you will immediately need the following to set up a camp:
-3 ropes
-3 maple branch from a maple tree
-2 sharp rocks
-1 curved branch from a lombardy poplar tree
BASIC RECIPES:
milkweed + milkweed = string| string + string = rope

round rock + big rock = sharp rock
maple branch + sharp rock = long shaft

long shaft + sharp rock = short shaft
sharp rock + curved branch = curved shaft

curved shaft + rope = bow drill bow
bow drill bow + short shaft = fire bow drill 
short shaft + rope = tied short shaft
tied short shaft + sharp rock = hatchet
hatchet + any branch = kindling
sharp rock + sapling = skewer

skewer + clay = wet clay nozzle

clay + reed = adobe


clay + round rock = wet clay bowl
wet clay bowl + round rock = plate
adobe + round rock = oven base

oven base + adobe = oven

oven + adobe = furnace
sharp stone + flint = flint chips

short shaft+ sharp stone = stakes
stakes + rope = snare
flint + long shaft = wooden tongs
HOW TO MAKE FIRE:
u will need leaves from the following 2 trees:

use fire drill bow on a long shaft

use leaf on long shaft with embers

put leaf with embers on the other fuzzy brown leaf

grab kindling and wait for the ember to catch fire and then put the kindling on the ember
HOW TO SMITH:
now u have a forge and a fire u can smith
- put another kindling into the forge and set it ablaze by using a long shaft on the fire and then clicking the long shaft on fire on the furnace with kindling in it

pick up wet pottery with tongs and stick em in the fire
then use adobe to plug up the furnace to make coal

use an empty basket to get the coal out
put the coal on empty ground
pick up coal with ur hands and put it in an empty bowl

now fill the furnace with kindling again and turn it into charcoal again
while thats happening you will need a bellows
i sure hope u fired up that wet clay nozzle
the following will just be in images b/c im getting lazy









eat it








great, now ur ready to smith
put the bellows on the forge with charcoal already in it and then light it on fire
grab iron with ur tongs and stick em in the forge

put the iron ball on a flat rock and hit it with a round rock. u generally wanna do 3 at a time to save on kindling

then put the resulting iron in the same bowl with the charcoal and put a plate on top
stick that crucible in the forge with the bellows and charcoal 
and wait for it to cool down 
then take off the plate
and then take out the iron
then fire up the forge again with charcoal and bellows in it and pick up the smelted iron with ur tongs and stick it in the forge and put it on the flat rock again and HIT ******ONE****** with a round rock to make a hammer
then attach the hammer head with a short shaft to get a hammer

now do the same thing with the other smelted iron but hit it with the SMITING HAMMER this time

the more u hit it the more it'll change shape from axe > hoe > chisel > adze > froe > file blank > blade blank > shovel > mining pick
make urself an axe, shovel, and hoe. do axe first so u can get more firewood without having to scavenge further and further for branches
combine long shaft with most of these tools to make the full tool
the froe needs a short staff and the blade blank and file blanks and chisels u can leave to other ppl to deal with, not that important to u, as a new player
HOW TO FARM:
will be mostly in pictures cos its 2 am now n ive been working on this guide for 2 hours oh god help me



u can pick up dirt from the pile with a bowl, to either put on dry berry bushes or to just move around. using hoe on 2 dirt gives u a fully tilled row, but how on 1 dirt gives u a half tilled row (so u have to hoe it twice- consuming more hoe power)




now u have a tilled row grab whatever seed (probably a berry, carrot, or milkweed for a beginner camp) and click it into the tilled, empty row
now to water it grab a bowl n travel 15 minutes to ur nearest pond in jason jail
move egg
bowl on pond


BONUS - HOW TO MAKE BAG:




Ehh i raise alot of girls as eve ive raised 6 girls and 2 boys and still had all of em die due to idiocy..
Population management takes an active management and alomost cant be done once you have 2 adult females its kinda a bitch...
but thats the point. if u look back on ur family trees just look at how many died to starvation. thats what happens when u have 9 people in the same plot of land without a sustainable farm. for generations eve to 5 (or whenever u have a stable enough farm going) we should be controlling the population so that the smartest/most productive of the bunch can survive. i actually have a lot more success raising one or two smart girls over a whole bunch cos they can conserve the food we have in the area and they know how to manage the population
its a bit difficult now cos of the influx of new players but thats why im making this post- so that new ppl on the forums can recognize that population needs to be controlled and not every baby can/should be saved
with the spawn changes we need to cull babies more than ever. kill your babies! kill your sisters babies! kill your daughter's babies!
jokes aside, we really need to start thinking about population management again. we're not in the era of lineage bans anymore, we dont need to be saving every baby in hopes that at least one makes it to adulthood. if ur in a camp thats only around gen 4/5 and uve got a shit load of sisters, raise only up to 3 kids. id generally go for 2 girls and 1 boy (in case one of ur daughters is an idiot) but that depends on the gender ratio in ur town. DO NOT RAISE EVERY BABY. ive played as eve a couple times today and had a good town going which immediately exploded into chaos around gen 3/4 because all my daughters and their daughters were keeping every baby. if ur farm is tiny as shit and only has ~2 crops you CANNOT afford to raise every baby
they will be fine, theyll be born into better, richer towns and have a better life. instead of sacrificing your camp for the life of a baby that'll probably only live to 4 b/c theres no food around, learn when to keep and when to abandon your kids
yeah i spawned into a dying town with only one elderly lady in it. it looked to be only a couple generations from eve. is this what jason intended?
its 2 am so heres an abbreviated version:
-rivers
-water wheels
-automation
-consistent production
things that can be automated:
-smithing
-watering
ill expand when i wake up maybe
If town is good, she will teach you. If not, just find a new town or begin as an Eve.
absolutely. u gotta accept that eve camps cant afford to teach new players. its a lot better to learn in a stable society n if ur eve mom abandons u just kno that its probably for the best for u and her
