One Hour One Life Forums

i believe i'm the Eve on the lower right there. If so, i spawned with a 4th Eve just SW, and then ran east after this. I think lack of fertility killed my camp.

I could be wrong, but I was in this exact situation, and i'm pretty sure that was the biome layout.

re: wet nurses passing on info, we need to maintain oral history of our iron expeditions. This is where people should say what direction they're going for iron or where they came back from, and the results. if the iron is picked out in a direction, the kids growing up should know

I really think "fan-made" is a good descriptor for showing that it's not official without it sounding bad to potential buyers. And it's accurate, you're a huge fan of this great game.

This is not what i witnessed, however, what you're describing are the stated benefits of UBI. And it is more what i would have expected- people figuring out how to make advanced tech.

I'm on Mushrooms side about pretty much all of this.

Going out on iron expedition is fun, actually. And once you have a horse it ain't all that dangerous. Sometimes you find ruins or other live camps. Also if anyone decides to colonize later, you help them in some ways, in that barrel cactuses are spawned and rabbits have families etc [though of course, you're also taking the iron]

And even if i do an iron run and come back with 15 (and four new baskets, i make my baskets in the wild on iron runs) nothing is to save me from someone deciding it is his or her position to stab me for burying our dead. I guess it may be mostly useless, but at the cost of one iron per 30 people. I keep seeing pointless small tracks. Are people getting stabbed for those? that's a _way_ bigger waste of iron than burying the dead.

Also does both picking up and putting down the poop count as a use? I never happen to have had a shovel break while putting manure on a pile. It's definitely the case that only one of those should count as a use. Picking up the poop shouldn't really even count as a use, because it's on the surface. Presumably when you add the poop you're stirring the pile, so that's more reasonable to count as a use. Though i also don't personally remember a shovel breaking when picking up the poop, that wouldn't make a lot of sense, for it to break with the poop on it (and the things always break after use)

Anyway, the next time i start a camp that makes it to having shovels, i'm going to try to pass down a culture of burying our dead.

Also, noobs for sure just grab tools and click other things with them. It's a matter of personality how much they get in the way or make mistakes, a more timid person  isn't going to want to try things that may cause problems. Other people don't really think that way, and just want to get in there and start doing things, whether or not it is the right thing to do.

The really bad noob experience i had was someone who kept getting in the way of my smithing, like really really in the way. And kept pulling a knife on me if i said anything It is a rare instance i would have killed someone if i had a knife. I even offered for the person to watch me and to explain what i was doing, and he pulled a knife again. I fled just a bit off screen, and when i came back another woman had stabbed him. Another time, I was frustrated because i was trying to make compost and people kept getting in my way (you know how it is, by the time you get back your shit is gone etc) and i said "OMG!" and this person was like "never talk to me like that again" so I just fled the camp, because i was already annoyed at trying to save them.

I dislike hectic disastrous camps, and i really hate it when people threaten me, and I'm a very peaceful player. I also like starting new camps and still believe in this permanent population thing [the idea that we should be migrating outwards and thus family lines should rarely die once established...I also really want to make a road because there are already two cities, instead of just making roads  and then slowly building this and that along them]. So, if you upset me as a young female, i'll pretty much always grab a bowl and run away, possibly with a hoe and ax head, if it won't hurt them too much. [and seriously, for how much people bitch about iron and milkweed scarcity, you'd be amazed what you can find like 2-300 tiles away from a major city]

Not getting killed in the wilds is a skill though. The desert being temp punishing is nice for avoiding snakes, nothing deadly in the arctic. yum chain for yellow fever protection, favor open areas to running through trees to miss the boars. [obviously, i still die in the wilds plenty, because it's dangerous out there, but it does get easier if you spend a lot of time in the wilds]

people murder over disagreements all the time, and tons of the global poor eat the same food all the time.

Also, the point of this game is to be a social experiment about rebuilding society after an apocalypse. How people act in this game is most definitely a reflection real life personalities.

Granted, I do see the part where it was a one day bug, and people took it to be a vacation. what confounded me was 5 people standing around a single carrot pile doing nothing and getting pissed off when one kid ate a carrot. They were seriously being so useless they were standing around 2 carrots with no plan and panicked when the free food went away and got mad at the little girl for dooming them.

of course, i took off instead of seeing the end of that story.

oh so that's how the bug works, it wasn't actually explained to me, I just kind of accidentally clicked on them a few times.

I was in a town where they were standing around doing this to, then a girl picked up and ate one and they all freaked out and died and i left.

I don't know why anyone wants to do that, just stand around a carrot pile.

LOL we should really thank Peremptive, I only looked at the server numbers because he said they were lower since the temperature update in a different thread

This does explain how during the weirdness last night I landed in an established stable village, despite that the server had just suddenly been reset mid play

there's not even anything inherently wrong with shearing the last sheep, the poop and babies get to be a mess.

of course, now that unsheered to sheered produces dung, maybe this will be less of a thing.

This type of player is super annoying. Also now that I know how to smith and do a lot of iron gathering, iron is not _that_ scarce, nor is making a shovel head labor intensive.  A person certainly shouldn't bury all the dead and leave the only shovel broken, but we have people making tracks for no reason, we can bury dead. It does actually suck having huge fields of corpses near town.

Jason didn't "fail" to establish copyright protection, he pro-actively chose to release the game in the public domain.

I don't see "unofficial mobile port" as a turnoff, when there is no official mobile port, but I'm also really hostile to IP.

I think both sides are being reasonable for what is a complicated situation. Christoffer is clearly thinking about this more like a normal business person, whereas Jason is thinking about it more as an artist.

Is it possible that something agreeable would be to call it "A fan-made mobile version of Jason Rohrer's game One Hour One Life" in the main description, and then "This version of One Hour One Life is not officially affiliated with Jason Rohrer" at the bottom where few read?
