One Hour One Life Forums

Seriously what has this community become? We were always toxic but at least we talked about the game instead of complaining about each other and cringe flexing.

Real talk: Did this game promote a toxic community or did this community promote a toxic experience? Both? What's more to blame? I have my answer but its a fun question, no?

I loved the rift and i dominated most arcs with my lineage. Spoon didnt even play during the rift. Tarr also used my blood to activate a end tower in the middle of a maze one arc which spawned the baby apocalypse.

I respect spoons tenacity and unyielding nature. Without him these forums would be dead. Plus its always fun to see the stuff he comes up with and how people react. I recommend not taking this stuff so seriously. Laugh, have fun, and do your best to respect each other.

Im an old vet and been here forever, you can ask any of the old vets

Boxes dont insulate. Plus boxes take ropes. Which I think most would agree is harder to mass produce than stone, adobe, pine, or plaster. Issue i see with the current building mechanics is how restrictive they are. Insulated spaces are too small to do any real work in. Large builds are really just for looks and waste valuable tiles. City walls are no longer essential and serve as more of a detriment than a benefit. Building in an active town is chaos and beyond annoying.

Any paved road under 1000 tiles is a waste. Especially given the fact pavers are incredibly forgiving. As long as you dont pick it up or they dont hit permanent obstructions they can keep running if you clear ahead of them. Prepping for them is easy enough and you can use skewers and stakes to guide them cheaply. There is no excuse to make one under 1000 tiles. I agree they are too expensive. Probably the most expensive item in the game. Running one costs the equivalent of 36 iron or 24 buckets of water. Not to mention a bucket of milk, lime, two bowls of water, yellow dye and a large rock. Pavers cant be places in trucks so unless you carry it all the way back it will likely be lost somewhere in the wilderness, wasting an engine and etc.

Iron is the most important resource in regards to advanced civs. An iron veins gives you about 75 iron ingots and costs about 660 pips. This is insanely expensive compared to oil based iron. One tarry spot gives you 720 iron profit (864 total). One tarry spot gives 576 buckets of water.

Now to the cost of a tarry spot.

1 Newcomen atmospheric core (reusable) [3 wrought iron, 1 rubber]

4 stone blocks (reusable)

1 pump beam kit (reusable)

1 rope (reusable)

1 blade [1 steel]

1-12 pipes [1-12 steel, 2 buckets of water]

1-12 charcoal

1-12 buckets of water

1 engine (reusable) [17 steel, 1 wrought iron, 1 rubber]

1 oil spigot (reusable) [3 steel]

24 tanks [24 wrought iron]

1 tank kero [1 wrought iron + previous pump]

Base oil set up will cost 63 iron. 24 of that is reusable. It will maybe cost 14 buckets of water. This is based on a bad run of oil. Oil can cost less than two buckets of water sometimes. Iron is in higher demand for pumping oil than water. It costs almost an entire iron vein to set up for drilling oil. Water is important but its the main resource in keeping people alive, not progressing through tech. Iron makes tech and tech makes water. Past a certain point oil based water is the only stable source. Given water is easier to come by naturally this makes iron more important than anything in regards to late game. Its also one of the most poorly managed resources in the game, making it even more important to produce surpluses of. Iron makes oil, oil makes iron and water. I see people dumping tanks upon tanks into diesel wells but i hardly see people drilling for iron.

I wasnt even really talking about the game. I was talking about life in reference to the game. If you have something to add to my point or if you disagree have at it. Otherwise dont attempt to shut people down with weak statements like "its a game". Not sure why the fact that ohol is a game should discount people who take it seriously. A lot of people take games seriously. Just because this isnt a popular game like chess, football, poker, lol, or etc doesnt discount people who take it seriously. People have a right to feel strongly about whatever they want. This forum is full of strong opinions. Dont presume you have any power over them. Maybe try expressing your own, instead of attempting to quiet others.

Whats useful about entertainment? Entertainment is great dont get me wrong, but entertainment has nothing to do with survival. Beside maybe aiding in maintaining sanity.

Wheres a vampire plague when you need one..

Real master griefers dont get exiled or cursed.

Interesting idea, not sure it would add anything of value to the game though. Would pretty much be the hierarchy system without any in game mechanical ties.

What if it was cosmetic based? For example, if you reached the master smith rank whenever you held a smithing hammer it would be on fire. Master griefer, knife or bow on fire. Different color of flames for ranks. Would be an easy way to show you know what you're doing and are seasoned in whatever field. But this type of mechanic would likely result in people spamming things instead of actually trying to be smart in the way they play. Someone uses all the steel to make hoes, then hoes a few hundred piles of dirt so they can rank up their smithing and farming instead of actually being productive or smart with resources.

Here are two variants of the game, not owned or developed by Jason, that use his sprites. Maybe one of them has the mine shaft yiu're talking about.
