One Hour One Life Forums

I never ever kill people. I think the only time I've ever done it someone was quitting and asked me to and i did it out of curiousity. Another time a son asked me to kill him because he was bored and I wouldn't then he came back and got me trapped in the bakery and killed me when he was older.

I never do anything to intentionally mess up other players' experience. It isn't in my nature.

Before I left, in June or July, the killing was so bad i avoided all the civs and just tried to set up new camps in the woods, almost every game. I generally taught my kid we were hiding from civilization

i suppose, in a way, it's shitty to let a mom raise you then run off, but I don't really care what my kids do. I try to never steal more than a bowl, preferably of stew, from camp when i go. They're really not scarce in a functioning civ, and makes getting started massively easier, because you can make a small berry farm before a fire.

Still, i do understand the boredom, i'm a total workhorse in this game, and it often doesn't create any good results, and I do wonder the point, as I'm basically just laboring in a game. At the same time, the problems of human interaction are pretty fascinating, which is part of the point of the entire game.

I may be learning things about myself, though mostly that I'm like the prophet Jeremiah.

I think this airplane/teleport aspect will ultimately do a great deal to balance the game and keep it interesting, actually having long distance exchanges.

Oh, yeah that's a mistake I'm making, i was kind of thinking about that, in my head it seemed more efficient to gather the dung for the compost area so there is dung waiting there when you want it. i realize that's two uses instead of one and iron is the main scarce material now.

Also, i've seen civs with like 10 baskets of mutton and the pen full up of dead sheep and dung that didn't need to exist. It's frustrating because i'm spending my whole life trying to keep the sheep pen clear enough, remove the dead bodies, move mutton, etc. and the sheep keep reproducing, dying, etc faster than i can work.

You should really only feed the sheep if you have a reason to. I'm confident people are just trying to help, but it doesn't actually help.

i don't know where to find the stdout.txt, but i can certainly send you the recorded game file for any of these, it's happened every game i've played. Searching stdout does find an English.txt file related to OHOL, but it looks to all by default.

What's the best way to contact you? I assume the hope is to get the information while my character is still alive and connected.

I dont know if this helps at all, but when it freezes it doesn't always show a connection error. If I'm being held i have to exit the game entirely and it reloads as the same character

if I'm not being held, trying to grab an item will make it know it's disconnected and it will reconnect me pretty rapidly. But I may have to do that like 5 times in 5 minutes

Jason didn't know about the disconnect issue, apparently, but does now.

I do agree though, there needs to be a way to store more of a lot of these common small items, such as milkweed seeds. Since theyre infinite anyway the total number of milkweed seed is not meant to be a limiting factor regardless. Just make it so you can collect 8 with a bowl or something.

yeah I actually lost connection at age 51 today, which was really abnormal. it's almost exclusively the first 5 minutes of playing

Usually i can exit the game and come back and be the same person, but it took like 3 times to reconnect and then when it finally did it was a new life, where of course it disconnected upon birth again.

this life, if that helps at all

i had this problem a while ago, i was trying to make a new camp, and ran all over like crazy trying to find a sapling, the single one ended being really far, and i realized i very much should have taken cuttings to plant more.

and there's no reason you couldn't just put the sapling cutting in a bowl of water or bowl of soil to make it last long, you can carry cuttings either way IRL

Though maybe a water pouch is a better way to go, then make it so they can put it in a pack. There is more like what you would actually do, a container like a water pouch

thinking of it, since a bowl of soil is not made to be set down with soil in it, that could potentially be a problem for a major game mechanic to deal with a minor thing.

So maybe actually a bowl of wet sand would be a good thing to put a sapling cutting in. That would also work fine IRL

thank you!

I'm still having tons of trouble with disconnects at the beginning of the game, would be too frustrating to play if i was a noob and didn't live to 60 most of the time

hm. If I spawn a woman in a civ I don't want to live in for some reason i usually just grab a bowl and run off. I feel bad stealing any more than that, and a single bowl makes it massively easier to start a new camp. but of course my camps always die because BBs who know how to play won't stay.

it does also appear a lot of newer players don't know how to survive anywhere but an advanced civ, despite how easy staying alive on berries and cactuses etc is.

It does sound like people are somewhat more tolerant if their mom is an eve as opposed to not an eve and out in the wilds...i pretty much never spawn eve though cause i don't /die

well, I don't know, i mean, i suppose it sort of is, but it's sufficiently comical it wouldn't have caused me grief were i the one to experience it.

I think everyone learned a valuable lesson about letting bear charmers into a walled town

yeah i was thinking about this. It's probably quite a lot of coding to make any sort of system where we can look at an ingame produced map in games.

one thing that is more doable is if it just showed the nearest two towns instead of one. cause of course a home marker prevents you from seeing the other places as well.

I suppose even just allowing both a home marker and the bell would help immensely, as the two directions and distances would give you some actual frame of reference.

BTW, how far can a person run in an hour, if they run the whole time? A long time ago before I realize the world is like the size of jupiter I spent a whole lifetime running north, hoping I would come back around or find something you know. But there weren't distances for anything at the time. It seems to take a fair amount of time to walk just .1, so I imagine 4.0 is an unlikely journey in a life time. Though of course being a multigenerational caravan heading to the big bell city is also cool.

hmmmm. I'm not really obsessive about optimization. i do still generally prioritize proximity to berries when starting my first little camp, instead of temp, though then i stand in the desert to try to have BBs.

I for sure understand about the food use, i just also don't find it particularly hard to generate a food surplus

So do you think if my farm was on desert or jungle i would get fewer suicides? I don't want to set up in a jungle if i don't have an ax, but desert is doable.

also I rarely yell at noobs [or, i your case, people i perceive as noobs who are actually far more experiened than me]. i feel bad the last time I did I was just trying to make backpacks and my shit kept going missing [you know how it is, everytime you come back somethings gone] and i had to make a new needle, then my 17 y/o daughter burnt the rabbit I had. i yelled at her and she quit, and then my family line ultimately died I was able to keep her kid alive but like so many the kid still didn't make it to adulthood. On the bright side that player learned to not burn rabbit.
