a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building
You are not logged in.
I think the most important thing to remember is that this is a game about your family not about you.
You gotta take care of cute as buttons lil babies and teach em about where the stuff is and try to set
em up to succeed.
You get to try to make their lives easier by building up tools to make their labor more effective etc.
When you can remember to be playing and working to better your children's lives you will be surprised
at how strangely fulfilling this game can be sometimes. I think the power of it comes from how it
mirrors normal irl life in that way.

LOL
Reeds have always decayed in 2m. They don't decay if you cut but do not pick them afaik.
So be careful with em friend <3!
The skirt is obviously just something he missed, I seriously doubt he INTENDED them
to be forever lol.
All the bugs I have made in my lil maps and mods over the years... yeah there will always
be something wrong with what you make no matter how long you stare at it
.
Gotta try em though right? How else you to know if it was secretly bitching idea?
If you aren't willing to fail you can not succeed.
YASS mining...
it's not really logical, real life reed baskets last for over a hundred years when maintained, indefinitely with repairs. Metal tools last for around two hundred years with maintenance. Furs and hides last around 100 years. Real life isn't really related to the game, lol.
fyi 100 years is less time than clothes take to decay in game, they last 120 last I checked.
Fences near patches of ponds are KEY. Having Men to send out with the carts to grab tons and tons of
maple branches also is super super strong strat (men have no babies so no worries about slow walking
horse cart home.
MOST forge tools don't need string just irons and maple branches, if your black smith has ingredients
and a little fuel and room to work it is EASY to make tools en mass. Having Men to forage makes your
forage game MUCH stronger, don't be one of those retards who kills all the Men and ends up griefing their
babies..
Horse cart is NOT good to use with baskets as the time it takes to bring stuff in and out of lvled storage
is long enough for horse to bolt on you slowing you down a ton. It is better to just bring home 4 items,
like irons and trees and rocks etc.
You are gonna need a lot of tilling equipment, cut skewers when you see em, they don't decay with time
and they reswawn on a timer. Pick all branches you can and leave em by the tree if you don't need em,
they don't rot and they regrow only if picked.
Domestic berries do NOT rot while wild ones do, pick your domestic bushes and then water them so they
start to regrow right away. This will also save you from having new peeps pick em and not water them.
With the decaying baskets killing your pouches you want to probably invest in some cisterns near your
farms so you can dump off water and go fetch more. If you use horse to rock hunt you can make them
really fast, especially if you have backpacks to hold some pies etc.
Mutton is super food, you get 4 muttons from one bowl of berry+carror just have to feed babi sheps. I
don't know if you can shear em before you kill em? would be cool to double dip
!
Also Babies are fucking FAM people don't dump on people for trying to log in and JOIN YOUR TEAM one
dude did a great post on that https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1287
Once you know what you are up to and you have a few other people working on your side decay isn't so
bad. If you talk with your babies about what you are trying to do etc. what you need they can be more
useful when adults. If you only have one babi and you are gonna babysit it anyways pick it up take it on
a tour, show it the water the farm the bakery the forge. Ask it questions based on what you need "Can
you sew?" "Can you Hunt? "You know how to farm?" "We need smith can you do that?" If they don't know
how to do shit teach em to farm, bout the seeds. When you build a bond with people they link up with
you, both your times are likely to be more enjoyable and it is ok to do this on purpose <3.
As the Mom it is your job to know more about your camp than your kids do, you need to know what you
need in order to lead them. You have to give your kids jobs, don't just tell them "You farm" ask them
"will you be farmer?". Try to make it so they have tools for their job, help em get rolling. Some of your
kids will be repeats and have something in mind, you gotta be able to roll with that too the Mom isn't
the boss you are just marshaling the new people into your group, repeats know the camp/group already.
Don't leave people out into the cold if you want someone to be on your side help them out, we are building
tribes and clans here... not just farms and forges.
You should always prioritize pouches over everything else, because they last forever (if they are not lost, that is).
Be wary, things in baskets that decay are destroyed, this includes pouches afaik. Clothes are super important for keeping down food needs long term.
I'm literally asking babies for the "forum password" and not feeding them if they don't know... This will only work so long... we'll have to change the forum password eventually.
Just let em play and stop being such a doosh dude...
It looks the models are composite pictures of the .tga files in your sprites folder. That is probably why you can't find em.
This is probably decent idea, at least legacy server. Granted I think the
folks running 2hol have been sticking to the old version.
One thing to consider is that you need to run the game on the players to
see if it is broken or too hard etc. The other night some folks on the official
discord and I were in one of the empty servers being born to each other
etc. and we managed to do just fine with the rags to riches update. Granted,
yes this was with voice chat and with only people who knew mostly how to
play, but you have to assume that the "beta" server would be full of similar
types of folks making it harder to judge if the settings are good for the wider
population of players.
Perhaps if the legacy server was opt in, but then again if that is the situation
with custom servers as is..
Interesting idea though dude.
They weren't also at the same time trying to grow food and eat every minute so they don't starve to death.
Um... yes we are?
Meh Apocalypse isn't fun.
If baby say "w" for wanted, Mom says yes or no, either trust in Mom or don't.
Males get WAYYYY more shit done, you can go on runs to get stuff without lil folks popping out of ya all the time.
That is a pretty cool point. Spam kids to summon the good people. You get better odds of survival
overall if the smart kids can recognize when a camp is doomed and scatter to nearby (few screens)
and come back or use things like set up forge or fire to light their brands to bring home and
bootstrap their own camps.
This is a MUCH better solution as instead of just griping people who are good can be useful and
helpful without feeling that their efforts are just wasted on people who while possibly well intentioned
are effectively drags on the camp.
Thank you for putting in the effort to post here in another language for us to talk with you. Maybe we can be family someday.
As someone who would work the forges and sew the clothes I like the decay. It sucks when
you have already made all the tools and the only thing left is to farm until the population gets
so high you run out of water/cant build wells fast enough.
The Tools last a WHILE unless you go crazy with them, yeah some ability to recycle parts of
broken stuff for kindling or scrap metal would be nice too. It would be just LOVELY to be
able to plant saplings <3.
The only issue I am seeing is people using their hidden hunger bar to be OP. Like lil babies
eating mutton to go on crazy adventures and old peeps using it to live to 60 easier.. This
doesn't seem like such a horrible thing to have in the game. At least it weakens the
eating troll.
I think the decay is good, there are somethings that he forgot to add decay to and there are
somethings with silly decay timers. Broken baskets don't need to last an hour lol. That is just dumb.
I don't think it is really a problem. A griefer isn't going to sit there feeding you. In fact, if you get caught as a griefer, they would probably leave you to starve also.
Amen, we are already starving, there is no extras for criminals.
Go on ahead. Read your post again. People pissed cause people come in
and fuck up their whole shit down to almost nothing in mere minutes.
They replicate and consume like locusts. Is this not true?
Little snippets here and there like you are quote mining them.. It is
weak ass level baiting, trying to get a mass of people to hate on the
people who set up their villages..
You are just stirring the pot trying to make people saltier..
But NO.. that isn't it at all is it? You are "JUST" a sweet little angel
showing off the evil people who set up a village and are upset that
it got fucked up SOOOO FAST. Busybody ass, moral policing people.
Again weak bait, seems ill intentioned even. No even hint of solution
or idea only mudslinging. Redacted my fucking ass you can go back
into the discord and search for the quotes.
"Just Illustrating".... sure.
This is useless baiting. Weak attempt.
Do not pass Go, do not collect $200
That sounds like it would be cool.
One thing that stands out is people have trouble differentiating between someone inside their group or outside it.
This makes inter-group conflict much more difficult even if that would be a fun thing to have in game.
