One Hour One Life Forums

All the times I've been in last or next to last generation it was due to following reasons (working in combination and ordered in importance)

Reason number 1: (US) Night shift. It's night not many players are online drastically reducing town population. These are the towns you are drowning in resources.  Tons of food, tools, horses, clothes, backpacks, yet the next generation is very uncertain.

Reason number 2: Unlucky RNG on girls vs. boys. So you had 4 children. All of them boys -> game over.

Reason number 3: Noobiness. Sometimes the girls you have are just too inexperienced to survive and put the food that is all around in their mouth.

then there is a gab.

Reason number 4: Griefers. Only with the combination of the previous 3 they can push a town over the edge. So you got 1 woman ... and that gets murdered. "muhahahaha." *rolls eyes*. If the town would be lively with players averagely experienced the griefer couldn't bring it down. Even if he breaks the compost cycle people could eat from wild resources etc.

Then there is a hugh, hugh gap.

Reason none: Ressource scarcity of any kind. Never seen it happen on iron, only on food in new villages with nobody baking, people standing in the cold feeding children eating like crazy, etc. (Reason 3)

Thus increased iron scarcity did nothing to towns, but made eve camps harder. Well it's not actually hard to scavenge for iron (with the zoom mod that is). But many players die trying and it takes time while the camp would still need all human power for various other tasks.

I also agree to what has said previously the actually most scarce resource is time. You only got 60 minutes (well somewhat less given useless baby/granny/grandpa years) to accomplish anything.

EDIT: One thing I forgot, lag spikes, can also occasionally be a serious mass-killer.

This works you. However my guess is for a good portion of people, it just ends up the person, the horse cart and the baskets are never to be seen again...

A typical pein building. Love it. I think I can always tell if you have been in a town before.

Stone hoes are actually more efficient on iron usage then steel hoes, considered the iron needed for the soil for the milkweed.

Lassos can be cut now.

I'm a fan of the idea of way bigger biomes and alternative ways to accomplish things in the biomes, like some other way to make ropes without grasslands. But as the biomes are a "rag rug" as now, I don't see an issue with milkweed.

As far I understood it, the map editor is about doing small test maps, not putting structures into the big default map.

I know not what you asked for, but you can change your server to non-aging, non-food requirement and force your spawn location... Then you can build on a regular way all the things in peace.

Thats what they are going for anyways. So why the surprise?

* Cutting the last wheat. How could I forget that!

No, seriously there is *no* legitimate use of dogs in the game on the one hand and a major griefers tool on the other hand. There is no balance, if e.g. chihuahuas would at least be a permanent decorative entity, but no they need to be fed to continue their life cycle. The difference is, I don't mind anybody doing bonsais...

If Jason wants them to be something for good intentioned town folk, either remove mean pit bulls or put in a good use that balances out the danger. If all they actually do is being there for griefers, because griefers are supposed to be part of the game to make it interesting, I'll assume you are one the moment you feed mutton to a wolf.. and apply my anti-griefing reactions... made it the more "interesting"?

The sociopaths are infact the griefers that get a power kick by seeing a village/town fall due to their action.

What is sooooo "critical and urgent" you have to disrupt what someone else just prepared? Only exception, drastic food shortage and you have tons of eggs lieing around.

Well is there compost or isn't. In case there isn't the basket you want to make cannot be more important. And even if there would be plenty of straw, why are you making that basket instead of compost? Well if you urgently need one, just take one from the bakery and put the pies on the ground. Still better than wasting that straw when it would urgently be needed for compost.

Well and I'm allowed in the game to stop you because of dog breeding, because it has zero use but being a griefers tool. It's not worth the risk. See and this kind of sullen reactions is why I don't warn or discuss in the game, but stab right away.. You can try again in another village or do it on an empty server all by yourself if you just need to see it.

As explained, you are just making the job for a griefer easier. You might be one that leaves the most inner juniper trees standing saying "but there are some"... and after you axed all of them far and wide you quickly cut down the innerst most before being able to be stopped.

I taught knives are indestructible.
