One Hour One Life Forums

I noticed the Lassos too and was so confused, this explains a lot.

I just played on a town where someone killed all the sheep. People did freak a bit and she got a few curses, I was that suspicious player that instead of hunting her down focused on getting resources to restock the pen.

Of course the bow I made was stolen (hopefully by someone trying to help) being able to carry bown on ur body would be useful but that is more of an annoyance that anything and not quite relevant.

The really troubling part was when the bow and arrow was finally made a guy picked it up and then just walked around town, I tried asking him to hunt sheep and said he would need rope but guess is he was rather new. Someone capable did finally go to hunt once I asked. They had been using a horse cart to fetch items so could assume they were competent. Should also add I was in my fiftys so hunting myself could have lead to items getting lost

So the sheep problem was getting solved, great. This is when the greifer returned, she had been absent while the hunting issue was going down..she proceeded to stab a random dude and THIS is when I cursed her. The problem here is her name was Elizabeth Korell II. So many younger couldn't.

I would suggest trying to keep names to 4 or 5 letters Max so teenagers and sometimes even children (if name is jo ko or something) can curse too.

I agree that cries of greifer should be taken with a grain of salt until you see proof yourself and focus should be on fixing the issue they have created instead. Also tell people what you are doing and if someone says they are fixing it don't interfere. I announced that I would make a bow yet without a backpack the resources I gathered were constantly moved. Then several people tried to take the bow once it was complete. Not to mention we ended up with around seven ropes... Not so bad since they can be used but still, that was time taken away from other jobs.

Haha maybe I just don't need to use the bathroom enough to be considered normal but I never need breaks within the max one hour of this game...

I feel you scattered plates are really frustrating, always internally facepalm when I see one in the wild, like dude that shit is multipurpose and really important.

On the flip side I've been making stew in some of the bigger towns I spawn in and every time I leave my station I return to my one  God damn plate gone. Massive pet peeve for sure.

I generally find a quick run around with mom helpful so I don't waste my time running around to see what is where and who's doing what. It prevents getting in people's way and helps you be productive sooner. The mother doesn't need to explain everything but a quick lap around town is useful.

I try to give all of my children a tour but as Peremptive mentioned in times of crisis there isn't any time. This is why, if I am nanny, I repeat basic info (farm south, sheep north etc) and if not ask the current nanny to do so. This at least gives babies enough knowledge to get to where they need to be. Additionally having a baby appropriate food source close to the nursery is necessary. Towns designed with a berry farm two or more screens away are quite dangerous. Having a food runner dropping off popcorn or bowls of berries can help with this but I still think the farm itself should be close considering most children prefer to and probably should work there until they are a bit older.

I was there with you your omelets definitely saved us thank you. Even went out to get some eggs because it was so useful. I was Dshawn and helped get the sheep going before moving on to smithing/baking. The population did dwindle in my old age but when I died we had one fertile female and three kids so hopefully they make it.

hmm that wasn't exactly my point. I end up being the nurse quite often and will ask a baby if they are new on their first feed. That way I am holding them and can clearly see their answer. If they are I say where the farms are and ask them to start there and observe. It may take more time to learn but if you simply watch another player work you can usually figure it out, this is how I learnt most things I know now. This is a bit harder when it comes to more complicated things but that is probably the point where if making a newcomen pump for instance, your town should be somewhat comfortable giving players freedom to teach a bit more. The nurse really should care about all babies...if she doesn't its not the job for her. This is why I will often ask to take over because I want to help all babies, especially newbies, start off on the right foot.

Also clothes are so important now. If I am out working and see a discarded hat or am just getting older I will go put the items on a baby. More people should start doing this (many do which is great) give the babes a better chance at survival and lower their food tax on the town its a win-win.

But the line you quoted was in reference to my adult self asking other adults simple questions and receiving silence. You will not starve typing a four letter word, it's just lazy not to help and a detriment to the town because I end up wasting time and food looking for what I'm asking about.

I'm in the same boat, also keep dreaming about it since I've been playing a lot more lately. It's amazing how this game indirectly teaches you real life values. I mean think about dark souls as a comparison (another game I quite enjoy) I don't really bring any of it into my real life (would be worried if anyone did) because it serves as more of an escape from real life. Dark souls is a unique experience, for those who wish to be carried off to new unexplored territory. Where as OHOL is a comment on humanity and our need to cooperate to achieve gargantuan tasks, the saying, 'Rome wasn't built in a day' or better, 'Rome wasn't built in an hour' seems very fitting here.

It is getting better, especially after the recent tweaks. Yesterday was the first time in a while I was able to get a decent amount of work done without getting baby diarrhoea. Lots of towns are surviving for longer and eve spawns are fewer and fewer. Rest assured people are adapting to the temperature change and your experience is likely to improve soon.

Honestly I understand your issues, the only reason I didn't mind the update was  my ability to survive. Can definitely see why newer players would get frustrated. But as I said it is improving, I even saw a few bell towers under construction and one functioning which hasn't happened in a few days... not to mention the murder, people are right back on that band wagon.

I do hope you regain your enjoyment for this game, we all should, at the very least, be having fun.

Pork should absolutely be buffed to also make bacon, who doesn't love bacon I think it should be cooked like omelets on a flat rock and then, as suggested above, able to be cut and added to omelets to increase food count.

First, newbies need to let us know they are new, I'm more than happy to teach but can't when I don't know. Sometimes you can tell by seeing player repeatedly miss click or running in circles but this is less effective.

Second, people need to communicate more in general. I'm not what most would consider a pro but can do a lot of things with confidence. When I do ask for help locating items or resources or even how to make something I'm unsure of, most players are silent. I understand we cant stand around all day chatting but if I ask say, 'where is clay' a simple 'IDK' or 'south' etc would help a lot.

As a last little side note, just now I played in a medium town (had decent farms, smith, bakery, sheep and half built structures) I was bouncing around doing jobs that needed doing and ended up baking because out bakers were gone (for whatever reason) and we were getting low on food. As I was solo baking an elder and two adult females were standing there chatting/arguing roleplay style (over stealing children ). I left them for a minute or two but, eventually asked if they could help/go work. the two adult females pottered off (good yay) but the elder (not super old) started arguing with me over being a vet and making all the plates. I just asked her to chill out said I was only asking and continued on.

My point it this was really counter productive, vets/pros should be the optimal teachers but egotistical players like this who get defencive are influencing new players to do the same. idk I may have just let it get to me a little too much.

Moral of the story, be nice and teach.
