One Hour One Life Forums

Actually AFAIK no, civilizations ought to interact more.. otherwise each lineage could be it's own server map and be done with it, there currently is just no reason for them to interact... (for example there is no incentive to trade)

I've tried that too at the slack hour, it's just, there sometimes isn't a city to /die to. I didn't feel like yet another eve camp that likely fails soon, so I /die'd a handful of times to eves, only to be spawned as eve myself from there on...

Might clean up by obvious suicides tough. Like remove all lineages that are shorter than 5 minutes.

PS: It may not be the Eves fault, but Gen 2, for example one eve run of mine, found a nice spot, took care of my babies, yet they all died due to inexperience or simply suicided right away on purpose without /die , when I was 40 and all kids dead, I suicided.

Yeah, it's about time conditions on players become a vector instead of a field with all kind of weird overriding rules..

It's certainly possible with enough dedication. You need a group of players "investing" about 36h around the clock. Make a lineage were you kill off all babies not of your group, always /die until you are in your group. Make all the blocks, bake a lot of pies then close off an area with unbreakable walls, like tower bases. Then start building it, while feeding of the pie pile. Nobody can stop you, even if they get there and want to.

However it's certainly a lot of investment of not really fun game play for little result.

PS: Yeah, we might need some sort of resetting, I just wonder if this is the right way. Might also turn this into something positive... like a group of players taking their lineage through portal to a new world or just having the eve-spiral wander in a "galactic clock" round a circle, that will naturally remove all lineages over time.

This way feels a little too much "Rust" like, where the game mechanics are set up for "dance my puppets, dance".

Well the return of apocalypse seems like the answer for a problem that just wasn't there (yet).

However complaining about it and it's mechanics now might be just as well... so I guess lets see how it turns out.

It would be nice to have some in game mechanic to detect lost cities and run/ride/drive there.

radar? Dunno...

Well basically an apocalypse can be forced by 3 players coordinating via discord and taking turns (/die until you are in the apocalypse-lineage and kill all other babies). Put enough food and lock the area with unbreakable blocks like bell tower bases. All the public warnings are void.

PS: It's just a mood point, since in 24 hours most lineage will be wiped by nocturnal infertility anyway.

I recommend using "screen" (or tmux) to run the server, there you can always get the console of a running process. You start in foreground within screen/tmux and this one handles the process backgrounding.

I didn't yet look on the code how Jason made the Ctrl+z thingy, I suppose he catches the SIGTSTP a. k. a stop signal? In that case you could also send SIGTSTP via kill.

Nice idea. Please add a transistion for "newcomen base + pickaxe = pickaxe" so we can destroy that stupid no-pen someone did.

Might also make sense a time lapse (-1) transition for collapsed mine + 48h = mine shaft?

I agree. Tell you a story. The town I was in was in horrible shape, the compost cycle didn't work, there lots of bread doughs in the kitchen - since the plates we're all filled and waiting for mutton and the pen full of shorn sheep. Hunger was also a problem. So I go and made a knife. Yes, I admit my error was to make that knife without having a backpack, but that town desperately needed sheep to be cut and bread to made.... So I cut the sheep, I make the bread, and then some stupid women came and stole my knife "for protection"... (yes I had to put it down for eating, since no backpack).. Seriously... then I saw that the had already 2 knifes in her backpack! She was hording them "for security"... while the town suffered of no knifes. Now she had three. Well as I couldn't do much about it, I kept going to her and pestering to do the knife jobs at least, if she already insists of thinking she is the one and only trustworthy player here (btw, seriously???). Well and then like it was asking for trouble a twin pair of real griefers shot her... and there is was nothing I could do about it as the other was looting her backpack. See? She was real pest, and albeit well intended if the intention would be different it would be griefing... taking all knifes, not doing the knife jobs, and in the end "giving" it all to "another" griefer...

If at least you would have read the criticism so far to get it is called a griefer.
