But no? The reason actually has changed. The way they provide insulation has changed, and its actually worth your time even to just spam floors all around camp. Before they were mostly decorative, and to create walls of sorts around the various workstations  to keep stuff clear on where it goes. Having floors surround a fire without walls will still create a zone of non negligible warmth, and if you did get to that point its because you already have clothes, compounding the effect. Walls do not need to completely surround a space, and if some are at the boundaries of your 8x8 space, they will keep it slightly warmer. Before there was no reason because temp was not compelling enough to sacrifice the resource of time on that task vs other tasks. Now its a must to create some insulative structure.

Okayy, doesnt matter now that you think you can win, because you just said its not about winning but sending a message. There are a number of things that make litigation frivolous, and one is it not being in good faith. Youve just stated its primarily about sending a message about customer service. It doesnt matter if you also think you can win it. There is public and private face, and this is all stuff you could've kept to yourself and attorney but instead are blathering here on the forums. Another thing that is required of litigation is an actual basis in the law, and he clearly didnt engage in any false advertising. He sold you access to his servers, and you still have access to those servers, all of them. You might not like your experience on those servers now, but he did not sell you access to servers that would check off all of your boxes. The only thing that has changed about your access to those servers is an increase in difficulty. If you could no longer connect to the servers, or were experiencing*** game breaking lag, you might have a case, but that's clearly not what your problem is.

All I can say is good luck with that, you are clearly delusional.

Nope nope nope, hominids definitely did not evolve in the jungle. Yes a variety of primates live all over the world, including jungles. No, did our lineage originate anywhere near one. All of the tool making, bipedal hominids evolved in scrubby, Savannah grasslandy areas on the edge of more forested areas. There is no pressure for bipedalism in a Jungle, the only way to see far out is to actually climb into the trees and thats why we see mostly primates that live in the trees. The great apes can do it, but they dont exclusively because there is no point. We stood tall because we could see over the tall grass in the plains, providing advance warning of predators, and creating a more efficient gait that let us do stuff like endurance hunting. We did after evolving come to live in jungles, but that is on one of the branches of our development, not at the roots of the genus homo.

I didnt buy the game on steam. But it does have a website and these forums. Jason gives over a week of heads up typically on what the goals of the next update are through the discord under live-dev-changes. There was lots of talk about this update before hand. As for the goal, it really became crystallized in this post: http://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=63. While this talks about resources running out, you can see the sentiment that he want the game to be very hard. That he wants the game to constantly be a struggle, because when you do get born into a developed village, it should be a bit of a "wow, so much had to go right with so many people to get to this point". This was right after the steam integration. Should he have more information on steam, maybe, but even better would be more direction to get people to come to the forums. While it doesn't cover all the points, the trailer video still gave me the impression that the game would be hard and that achieving something would carry some meaning because you can only achieve through said adversity. This is not a casual game, despite what it looks like, and should not cater to casual players. Play a casual game if thats what you want or go on or run your own server. I play factorio, and no body got upset at the science update that increased the difficulty and complexity some 3 or four fold. And thats because its not an easy casual game. Thats the huge divide here, people who want to play more casually vs those who dont. I have around that many hours as you and have had to leave and come back multiple times. While I enjoyed coming back and having all this machinery, after building all of it multiple times, I felt that the game was just too easy. Going on an iron run? I could get to ten yum in an established camp,  grab a cart, and eat only two or three things on a massive journey crossing many biomes and return with tired hand cart of iron. And that was naked. There is no way to get people to play with clothes in the old meta. Most people would only make one or two long foraging missions(iron, or hunting)in a life,if they even went on a journey like that, and that was for the most part the only time you would really need clothing. A village was more efficient on food with clothes, but that reduced food consumption so much that there was nothing to do. Can temps be made to work better? yes. Is this more "realistic" and pushing players to actually utilize more technology. Yes. Luckily, this is a not a complete game yet, and there is still just so much in the works. If this was the last update, and Jason was like"yall on your own now", then yeah id be mad. But I know that this is not the end and so im gonna embrace the difficulty bump, and wait for future updates that will tie into the new meta. We have at least another 50 updates to the game, He said he intends to update it for around two years or so before final release.

All of those games were made by larger dev teams, except for rollecoaster tycoon, and rollercoaster tycoon came out twenty years ago, and was a completed game on its release. You knowingly bought an incomplete game, but one where the creator laid out his vision for the game, and this is exactly in line with that vision. Youre wanting this game to be something it isnt. Go play factorio or rimworld if you want a variable amount of challenge that suits your needs for bootstrapping something from nothing. There are many many games that have that base concept, and Jason is trying to create a game for a very specific niche of that already very specific genre of sandboxy survival games. There are so many other games that fill those different niches of this genre. So find the one that actually suits you vs trying to have this game become something it shouldn't. Unlike a lot of games, in this one the hardest part is the beginning, because thats how real human development has gone. We traded difficulty of survival for the burdens of a more complex society. He makes lots of abstractions but at the end of the day this is a game that rewards bad choices and bad luck with death, just how real life used to be.

But no one is saying that? Obviously no one is going to pay $5 for a life. Even if Jason thought that before, its totally irrelevant because he has clearly departed from that model. You don't even have to pay for the game, just to play on his servers, and its never been pay per life. You two are harping on an issue that was never actually a problem. If the game isn't fun for you now, then come back after future updates or don't. I don't know about your playtime, but I know at my playtime, and Rage's, we have certainly gotten our $20 worth. I have netflix, I have soundcloud go, and a few other online services. These all cost about $10 a month and im a pretty average user of both. The average netflix user watches 40 hours a month. A movie ticket costs around ten dollars. A cheap meal at a cheap restaurant is about that much. To get 500 hours of entertainment out of $20 is a fantastic deal. To get 100 hours from $20 still outpaces a the vast majority of entertainments and enjoyable things in life. When you bought this game you knew that one person was making it, and that he was going to work on it alone for potentially the entire development, management, and support of the game, and that like all humans he has a limited time in each day to do all of those tasks.

Yes, and that never came to pass, literally no one has ever payed per life on this game. If you read closer, my calculation was for his cost per hour of playtime, I didn't assume how many lives he has lived. He clearly stated that he is not getting enough percieved value out of this game, which is absurd because he has played this game as much as he has stated he has. Also, btw, you don't smash the caps lock, its a toggle, not a pulse. You might say, smash the shift button .

Well, at 500 hours, and $20, you have now paid exactly $0.04 per hour for a game. FOR TWENTY DOLLARS, YOU HAVE GOTTEN OVER FIVE HUNDRED HOURS OF PLAYTIME. THERE ARE AAA GAMES THAT COST OVER SEVENTY DOLLARS THAT YOU GET AT BEST, A FEW DOZEN HOURS OF PLAYTIME. You need to have realistic expectations, and if you had bothered to you know, get on the forums in your "500 hours of playtime", and read even a few of Jasons posts, you wouldve seen this coming. This was always his vision for the game, for it to be hard. Entitled screeching just shows how far up your own ass your head is. Jason is one person, and can only really work on one thing at a time, also, you will not have forever replay-ability of this game, as he stated from the outset of this that he intended to do weekly updates for about two years. Its incredibly easy to set up your own private server now with AWBZ mod, and even easier to join some other server. Like others have stated, the game is not impossible now, there are already many towns. Eveing is harder, but it should be hard, you're bootstrapping a civilization.

The reason people with Big Yum are being selfish is after 10 or 15, in a real village where stuff is constantly moving, you will have to take a non negligible amount of time to find new foods around the village, and might even need to produce foods that are fine if everyone did have that yum, but are very inefficient for anyone else to eat. Yum shouldnt just be based on variety, but on the complexity and cost of producing the food. This would naturally push villages to make more complex foods and make that mid level yum easier to achieve if you have those foods without spending so much time thinking about your yum chain and what food you are going to eat next. Even if you do it mostly automatically, it takes a non negligible mental load to  work and think of the next food item and where it is and what your backup is if you cant find it. Yum is great when setting off on a big journey looking for resources, but often doesnt time up with when you want to leave, and if you cant find stuff in camp to do while waiting to build up the chain, you're wasting time you could be productive, and potentially hindering your civ from the next advancement.

As for the iron, I mean irl I dont eat oil but the majority of the fertilizer for the foods Ive eaten were made with it. Without iron, a village cannot survive for any meaningful amount of time. Stone hoes barely pay for their own milkweed, use up a straight shaft, and wastes yet another sharp stone in camp, and stresses the soil and water supply in an early civ because of the extra milkweed you need to grow. You need iron for bucks, and you're certainly not going to have enough rope for buckets if you're still using stone hoes. If you dont have a deep well by the time people are composting, unless you live in a field of ponds there will not be enough water to do anything, and even then probably not because one firing of a newcomen will use a whole pond up(you dont have any iron though so what am I saying). If you are composting and still using stone hoes, RIP, you'll need to make 3 of them at a time, and all that milkweed will use a whole pile of compost, if you do two bowls per milkweed, and use potentially use up an entire stone hoe planting all of that milkweed.

Hey so ive tried doing this with multiple different versions of the full download and on all of them, nothing happens after running runserver.bat, and if I just run the server exe, it says its waiting for a connection on port 8005 and then when I connect with the client the server crashes. What do lol?

If we do any food updates, Id like higher tech tier foods with say, a large variety of low pip foods for yum chaining. Maybe rice one day,but I think gunpowder or silk would be better for an "asian update". The problem is, in real life there are a lot of good ways to do a lot of the same things(like produce food), and with a game like this, its better to have more tiers of things than many essentially equal paths, until later in the development when he can go back in and add in those extra paths. This is a big part(at least I think so) of why Jason doesnt let us do things like make ropes from fleece, it makes milkweed completely obsolete, and unbalances all the technologies that are dependent on rope. Its hard to balance the resource dependencies, when there is only one path up the tree, but even worse when there are multiple independent paths that can lead to the same end product. Rice is a staple food like wheat, and would need to be able to replace it in the right circumstances. This is hard because compost would need to be completely reworked, which would change a civs iron usage so iron would need to be re-balanced and so forth. I read an analogy about the tech tree that I personally would like to see one day, Right now its a tree with branches, but instead it could be like multiple parallel vines that branch into each other at various spots, its just such a big workup, so thats why my vote is on new tech vs more food. On the other hand though, rice could maybe be woven in as part of the fuel cycle. We could use the rice hulls to make charcoal and woodgas in a pyrolosys rig, and have woodgas powered planes and cars, there is no point now while oil is infinite, but he could change that and  I see one day either Jason adding in (or someone else making a fork ) for aquaponics, and rice + fish aquaculture would make for a great starting path on that kind of tech tree. This still is a compelling argument though for waiting on rice since something like that would be such a big change to the game.

Okay that is true, I should be more specific. The tech level needed for the apocalypse leaves at minimum 24 hours to get to the rest of the tech tree. It only takes a couple gens at worst from the time the first knife is made to build an airplane if the people in that village want to do that. Jason has been busy with other stuff, but im sure that he will update the apocalypse in some time to require more advanced tech.
