Any updates on this? Saw now several people getting blocked.

You can't reach them, you can't feed them, things disappear if you die there.

#177 Re: Main Forum » The bigger biomes idea » 2018-06-20 10:26:21

You could make the biomes Hugh, so wandering by foot takes 1/4 - 1/2 of your life to reach another Biome and wander back.

With horses it's faster and the higher you go in the tech the faster it will be.

Make the edge of a Biome almost empty of food sources.
So you could still settle on 3 or 4 bioms crushing together, but only with higher tech and steady maintenance of your food production.

Sure there will be eve suicides just to get in the favor Region, but if the regions are almost balanced equally no one needs to do it, since they can stay and travel later on.

Also basic stuff like walls should look different in different bioms. So if you come in that desert town you will see a desert looking city, same for the other bioms. So not only the Biome changes, but the whole environment.


I just think the implementation is a hugh thing to accomplish. Not only do you need more and different sprites/recipes, change spawn algorithm, change the sice of the bioms optimal, but you need to balance them almost equally.

This is pretty time consuming, but it will bring  new aspects to ohol that a lot of people are missing.

I make a mod for killers soon. I call it: 3 min and 23 seconds one life - the stabagedon.

If you are a blood thirsty killer come and fight real killers, that practice killing every single game.

Kill or be killed

Contact Jason per Mail.

Send him in the mail following details:

1) The current E-Mail-Adress that you used for both registrations.

2) The new E-Mail-Adress you want one code to switch to.

3) And I think you got a code for payment validation per Mail. Send those two also. But not sure if necessary or maybe I am wrong that those code exist. It's long ago since I bought the game.

Be a bit pacient, but normally Jason is fast responding.

VI and Sara Rainbow,

After you were gone I told Sara's girl and a unknown boy our story.
I said that I lended from Vi the backpack to gather iron and that I brought some iron back to the Smith.
I told them that I was seeing Sara smiting and she said that I was a good iron boy. I said to her all the iron is for her, she is my iron love.

The kids responded with "awwww" .

I told Sara that I will bring her more iron. So I went out and looked for more iron. I was very long away, but couldn't find more. Probatly because I aged a lot and couldn't see that good anymore.

The kids said "sad".

I told them that I was heading back to the town only with two iron in my backpack. I felt unconfotable, because Sara was my iron love. So I gathered stones because I had a hearth out of stone. In town I gave Sara all the stuff.

Then I said: Next Sara got aten from the bear that came in our town and that's it. Story is over.

That was the best part of the story. The kids were shocked. They didn't expected me to tell the end like this.
Short after I left the kids behind.


I wanted to bring Vi her backpack several times but I couldn't find her. I asked everyone where Vi has gone. No one knew it. I knew she died long ago, but when I was close to death I ran around looking still for her. A boy came and asked me if he could have my backpack I said no, it's not mine. You need to ask Vi. He ran away and I ran after him and I said "if you find her bones".

Well then two more bears came and a third one was more east. I lead the three bears a bit east but was so old that I couldn't get them to far away. But far enough that everyone can reorganize. Just back in town old age got me.

Well looking now at the family tree - Sara's girl got killed and the bears were still alive. The settlement was in a good shape, but the murder and bears hit the village to hard.

I am located in Germany. I don't remember connection losses, only a handful of times when my internet adapter in the computer made a coffee break.

#183 Re: Main Forum » What's missing from the CORE experience? » 2018-06-18 20:13:52

The learning curve is the biggest hurdle.

I see now several options.

1) Better guides on video-platforms. Also linking those guides to new players when they purchase the game.

2) Implementation of Onetech.
I told several people of OneTech. But if you google it you wont find it directly. Maybe implement OneTech on this website instead of the wiki.

3) Ingame Button to the forum. Bring more people on the forum, here they can read the storys, learn new things, ask questions.

4) Maybe decrease the hunger rate for new players. So if you play your first game, your hunger rate is reduced by X%. After several games your hunger rate increases for some percent. And after maybe 30 games played your hunger rate it on a normal level.

New players wouldn't die that often, could learn and do more stuff and see more facets of the game. (More then dying tongue)

And slowly without noticing it their hunger rate increases, but since they know now the basics they can adapt to it easy.


Maybe the game would be to easy for others. So if you play the game you could ask if they like it hardcore or soft and explain them what would change for them depending on what option you click.
Or the hardcore guys are at such a small number that it would not make a big change if you let this option away. 


Make it easier to join and connect, and I think more people will stay.

#185 Re: Main Forum » what a great town » 2018-06-18 07:17:28

Yeah, they really struggling in the beginning. I was first there in gen 11/12 I think and a big part of the main town was already build.

I thought it must have been a abandoned city.

It's not your fault. Just unresponsive use of knifes.

#186 Re: Main Forum » Do you know that every time you are killed, you fall to a sub-server? » 2018-06-18 06:54:19

I will help you, just tell me it's you Ingame and I will stab or shoot you.

You should play Wargames, where the point is killing, Probatly you suck so much that you see your only chance killing people sneaky with a bow in your hand asking where the wolf is and then shooting/stabbing them in the back, after they helped you.


The only thing that you provide is Graves and knifes. But maybe that's not true, maybe you just wait others to craft you your things.

Thank tea for starting this pretty house smile I just helped a bit smile

What people write... I don't know the other games, but a game is also a form of art.
In Ohol I found a really awesome game, no other game before made so much fun.

Ohol is not for everyone, you need pacience to learn the game. And when you learned it you can see it shine.
Most people nowadays just play the
AAA games - repetitiv gameplay, just in another location - adjustable difficulty mode so everyone can feel like a Rambo to push the ego.
Ohol is just at the beginning, balancing is not easy, there is more time and more progress will be done untill it is in its final state.

How about:

Each time you play, you are born as another random player's child and given one hour to live a complete, unique life, birth to old age, in which you can nurture a family and advance a civilization that may live on well after you are gone.


I almost like it. Just two points.

1) Each time you play, you are born as another random player's child

---> Sometimes you are an eve.

Maybe more like:
Each time you play, you are born into a different life


2) nurture

---> maybe use a different word for it. Basic English speaking people wont understand it.

47 generations. I wonder how the house developed. Any information? Did someone found my death body and buried it?

#193 Re: Main Forum » Drawing Contest » 2018-06-16 22:31:49

The deadline for the banana tree is today at 23:59 UTC.

And for the next contest we help Gus with the "coracle". The deadline for the coracle is on 23.06.18 at 23:59 UTC.

Gus will provide us with more information.

#194 Re: Main Forum » Drawing Contest » 2018-06-16 21:26:58

yes I was Eduardo! tongue I hope I did good work big_smile

#197 Re: Main Forum » what a great town » 2018-06-16 16:00:38

I just spawned there again!

I worked on the floor. I finished the floor in the house, made a stone way to the ponds south and started a stone way from the berrys to the ponds and well east.

East was a wolf. I always went out of his way, but when I gathered more stones for the way I stepped onto him when he was behind a tree.. hmm So if you find my bones near a cart, please bury me like I did with the old women that was working in the house.

I wanted to take some screenshots for you, but the wolf came unexpected:P

The town was hugh and someone builded a house a bit over the town.
This place awesome!


That was me big_smile I kept lagging in the big city so I went north to make a new settlement and I found one forge and some berries. I decided to stay there and make myself a little house.

I made some stone wall and a fence door. Then I hid some rose seeds in the snow, hoping that I could plant some special roses when I come back.

I had two boys, Alex and Adam, and two girls who didn't survive. One of my boys stayed with me and helped me.

I came back as a boy named Prince and was so happy to find my house like I left it. There was a man living there ( I think his name was Josh ) and offered his help to finish the little pen next to the house. We managed to finish it before he died and I put one goose who I named Alfred.

Also there is a little cemetery for the people who helped building this house, just a bit north from the pen.

Mason joined me and together we continued to build the house. I planted two roses in front of the pen and Alfred enjoyed them. I hope he is still there, quacking around in his little place.

I still have so much planned ! I want to make a berry farm on the right side with some beans and corn, finish the flooring and make a room where you can make stew and cook the eggs from Alfred.

I hope it's still beautiful as I remembered it and that no one fucked this place up ^^


great work! I loved the house. I stumbled across it while I was gathering baskets tongue

#199 Re: Main Forum » Drawing Contest » 2018-06-16 13:14:07

ah dam, didnt saw your posts. The topic is "banana tree"!

#200 Re: Main Forum » Missed Connections » 2018-06-16 12:37:24

To Odin Bob,
when I was a young boy. I found next to a catched rabbit a basket with a snail in it. I knew what I needed to do. I brought the rabbit and the basket back home.

You were at the fire, shouting Jia. Jia! I didn't knew my name. So I ignored first your calls. Until you said "Can we go hunting". At this point I was so hungry that I ran to the berry bushes. I guess you thought that I totaly ignored you. Even your mum or my mum went after me to tell me. But I already was back saying we can do it.

So you grabbed a basket and we catched our first rabbits. We upgraded our hunting equipment step by step. From to baskets to a full set of clothes, two snares, a bow.
We catched all those rabbits, hunted some wolfes, collected so much milkweed, brought cactus fruits home.

We had much fun. Until the rattlesnake came.. I saw it coming. Couldnt speak that fast and just saw you collapse on the ground.

I didnt knew what I should do. I shouted your name. But you were gone. I headed back home, told a guy to help me grab your stuff. We brought all the stuff back to town. Unfortunately all women starved and no one cooked our rabbits.

So I said goodbye, headed naked back to your bones and starved myself to death.

Connected even in death.
