One Hour One Life Forums

Oooh. What if, in that case, age was somehow tied to technology instead of time? Like, in the beginning, it's 40. But rather than the limit moving up after time passes, instead it's once a certain piece of technology is present in an area, everyone that moves into its range is bumped up to a max of 50, and so on? Like how technology in real life has extended our lifespans?

Oof, now I'm imagining people going on pilgrimages to those big towns with the life-extending tech for the sole purpose of living longer. But if those technologies were somehow tied to one lineage, and if touched by another ceased being applied to that fam and applied itself to the fam of whoever did the touching, I could see that causing some family feuds. The low-tech people with the shorter lifespans vying for the life-extending tech owned and controlled by the people who can live 'til 60, taking up arms to hopefully take control of it. Though every family would be able to make that same technology, making it a non-issue, unless the resource(s) needed for those specific life-extending things was/were very sparse.

D and E and also culling excess sheep and other knifey tasks or if I know where a nosaj is and I'm a fertile chick, it's being used to get an endstone. I like those pretty red stones.

I'm not playing any different than I was before. Upon reaching a comfortable age I had a tendency to go out and scavenge for things to bring back to camp--missing plates and bowls, iron, abandoned carts, miscellaneous items from abandoned villages, clothing, 'shrooms; whatever I could get my hands on--usually naked unless I found something along the way or was given something as a bebe, so I haven't really noticed the temperature changes. I think the only real difference is that I don't go through deserts or jungles as much unless I have food on me, usually just a basket minus one slot for a sharp stone, to stave off the faster drain or the temp shock.

...I've also been able to survive just fine as a kiddo in an Eve camp, even after the Eve has died early or after I've gotten lost so long as I'm able to pick stuff up. Twice now I've been left with a sibling in the wild, young and naked and without a mum; the first time we both made it over 40 and we all died out because there were no surviving fertile women in neither our camp nor our long lost mother's camp; the second time I died to yellow fever while bringing back bananas to my sister, who'd been feeding the kiddos at the fire we made. I think if it weren't for the mosquitoes we could have lasted for a while. Maybe.

tl;dr i spent most of my time naked and outside of the jungle/desert meta anyway so i haven't really noticed a change
