One Hour One Life Forums

I love that website, though I think something could be done with the more advanced tech. I like the tech tree, but the more advanced stuff like radios, are getting so complex now it is getting hard to do. Could make the tech tree way bigger, but as more advanced stuff comes I can see it getting crazy big.

I wonder if that is like some kind of actual mental issue. There are strange ones, like people who can't recognize faces, or people who can see their family member and think they are someone else. In this case, if it is on the internet they don't seem like a real person.

It isn't something to get upset in real life over. The ability to kill people was put into the game and is a legitimate way to play. Yeah it kind of makes you a douchebag if you randomly kill people but I view murderers as random bears and snakes, just something annoying that happens from time to time.

I would tell him about the curse thing and suggest that he moderates his killing if he gets the game. If you can get him to curb the need to randomly kill people for no reason, then he will be less disruptive, hopefully. Even if he kills people, maybe he will be more selective and not try to wipe out entire towns.

Really I don't like murdering people at all, and the core game is really about cooperation. It isn't something to get really upset over out side of the game however.

Being grumpy because someone took your basket when there are five other empty baskets laying around is pretty silly. It probably isn't worth fighting with people over that though. I would just say my bad give them their basket and take the other. Same thing if they wanted the kindling, I would just give it to them and go find more, it isn't a big deal.

There is a lot of weird people in the game, so not worth getting too worried over the small stuff. You got to pick your fights.

It is kind of crazy that we jumped that far ahead, though we can't of always jumped around with technology, just getting whatever Jason thought was cool at the moment. I suspect more low tech stuff will come around later too.

This is actually pretty complicated looking, so I suspect it wont be too commonly build.

Is that really true? I always thought they automatically got the home marker, no matter where they were. Any way I do agree you should be able to just hit it with a rock. In fact, I think you should be able to just touch it to transfer to that home marker. I see no reason why a home marker should be difficult.

There is actual useful biomes that gives food to buy you time, like the berry bush. I can build near a forest and have berries for a short time before they run out, and eventually they come back, plus soil and milkweed grows there, plus all the branches and skewers.

A jungle is mostly trash. Why would you bother building there, and having to deal with permanent yellow fever for a few early bananas? The only resources there are super late game stuff, that you don't really need much of anyway. What happened to high risk high reward? That is gone now. Honestly jungle would be a better area if it had no mosquitoes and no bananas, at least then you could have warm tiles without the hassle.

I don't think foods should be balanced off the occasional extreme situation caused by the map being effective random. All the wild food becomes unbalanced if you get a huge lucky clump of them all together.

There is a simple solution to bananas. Just have them decay in 5 minutes like berries. Or what would be cool is if they turned brown and mushy after 5 minutes, then decay after an additional 5 minutes. I think if you remove the ability to stockpile them, so the person has to keep going in and out of the forest to eat one banana at a time, that really balances it out. Also bananas are known for going bad quickly theses days so I think people can relate.

Eggs are not really free, since they require kindling, which requires an axe(thus iron) or a hatchet(thus string and a rock). Actually, I would check the code to make sure the timer on the hot flat rock doesn't reset every time you put an egg on it. I looked it up and it says the hot rock lasts 2 minutes, but it feels like it lasts way longer than that. I swear it feels like it can last up to like 5 minutes or something. So it might be constantly getting reset all the time. If it is, that is your problem there, because instead of getting 2 minutes you get an infinite hot rock as long as you drop an egg onto it every minute or so.

For people who love extra credit math, you should figure out how much yum you need for all the different foods to be good. Even eating the worst food in the game is probably worth it if you need it for the 20th different food in your yum combo.

I don't think they really need to be bigger, so much as just having people able to survive in them. There are only three wild food sources that replenish them self, eggs, berries and cactus fruit. So unless you can survive entirely on them you need soil, and you need water to grow food. Soil and water are also found in the same locations as eggs and berries, so naturally the grassland/swamp combo is the go to place. The only other real option is the desert with like 30+ cactus, which tends to have snakes all over the place.

I don't think we need larger biomes, but if there was soil and water in all of them, that would make a huge different. It is either soil and water in all, or have food that regrows in all.

So clothed in grassland is better than naked in desert. That isn't true if you are standing around on the edge at the perfect location, however if you are standing around on the edge in the perfect location, then you have time to be standing around which implies you are doing well. Of course that isn't always true.
