One Hour One Life Forums

This isn't Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. Iirc OHOL take place after a civilisation collapse, this is why a lot of things don't follow natural progression, because a lot of technology and knowledge is still in the public consiousness.

With technology consider this. We could perpetually live modest lives if water were more renevable, but once higher technology starts, it cannot be stopped and only perpetually develops faster and faster and faster.

Ships of the line lasted for hundreds of years. Ironclads lasted for around half a centuary. It took a pair of decades for dreadnoughts to turn into the monster battleships of world war two, and within 5 years airforce dominance over naval warfare was estabilished.
Robotics are a hundred years old. The space race is half a centuary old.
Technology is super young, but it is a race that goes perpetually faster, just like in Ohol.

Consider in what state we lived 600 years ago.

At least out of those foods, you can stack multiple on a tile, so you can bring a plate of beanboys to a workplace without causing clutterissue while simultaneously feeding the many.
As long as they remember to return the plate for a new batch.

Plenty of changes were molded by player suggestions.

Plus, this is a pretty neat idea, I want it discussed more even if just for fun.

Very adorable! And finally some more uses for candles! I wonder how frewuent the masks would be off season.
I wonder if this means that we might get good foods like pumpkin seed oil. (it's very great as dressing on tomato-onion salads and on icecream!)

Splendid. Candycorn for corn might actually be a good one.

Love those suggestions, bring me some more candy.

Also that's interesting, at any possible time while playing, one third of players would be a mod user.
One out of every three people. either that's a lot, or that's a little depending on the perspective. Like the woe the griefer that uses mods and think of the nonmod users.

Don't give me ideas Jason, I already made a werewolf mod haha. Candyland sounds easy and feasable right now.

Yes Adding rocks to tools would be utter rubbish. Especially due their multipurpose nature in cooking, smithing, skinning, building, and everyone might as well reserve a few tool slots for rocks.
Perhaps sometime in the future, when we have enough distinct tools, we could actually have distinct tool branches. Perhaps learning from the same branch (medical, smithin, building, carpenting, cooking, gardening etc.) would take less effort to learn? Hm? At that time skill points could be reduces.
Plus, it makes much more sense that a person that knows how to sew would know other skills relating to sewing.
Rather than having to find a cook that knows how to operate an oil rig.

Naw Jason, don't diss on minecraft signs ;P . If you've been to 2b2t you'd know that those freestanding signs that survived griefing prove as a rather cathartic recording that seems more like the written remnants of a public consciousness. Especially if their writer has been long gone. Graffiti will laways exist, it existed 1500 years ago too.
And no less are signs part of RTGames' builds where people try bring forth a message to say, always, or make giant lists of people who've left a mark there. Those are fun recordings and important to historians in rl too as a deep dive into a person's consciousness. Think elaborate cathedrals are minecraft aesthetic builds? Wrong, it's the jumbled up mishmashes that been present since day 1, and 'littered' up with signs on every corner.

Honestly, even because signs are hard to make, doesen't make they'd suddenly start litter up the whole countryside. Just because it's easy; or cheap, or free, doesen't mean it'll be common, we've got plenty of ohol tech to prove. At most I imagine some person will make it their pet project to litter part of the map with some song lyrics or the bee movie script.
At best, people will label houses or streets and make life much easer.

But the only thing I can think of on making it easier is to make skever shaving more sensible... A single skever could give 3 letter blanks. And when you try to get the '-' letter you actually get two instead of having this baby carrot deal of chipping an entire skever into a smal smal smal wood chip.

That's always been something in game. An elder running to town in an early camp going:
IRON VEIN SOUTH, SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST. And then hoping people remember that after his death.
Was very much a staple activity even back then.

Love to see in game behaviours reinforced and supported with features.

Jason, why is the map on indigo paper?

Lets curbstomp the biggest offender in cuisine. Gooseberries. Most eaten food is gooseberries. Makes sense early in, however most of the arc is spent in civilisation.

Imagine how village dynamics would have changed if sheep just ate hay instead of bowls of gooseberries and carrots. And if compost required something else than gooseberries. It is the only reason why we keep those around either way.
Maybe then other foods would be more aprechiated.

I don't really like the rabbit change. For how much food is produced via hunting, if you make a dedicated cooking station you'll cook through it swiftly and just distribute the longears throughout the village for lunchtime.
Making rabbit clothes less useful would be great, considering we have a nice tech advancement limit on the time when we can acquire a loom.
