One Hour One Life Forums

i guess i've never thought of Crusoe [or Island of the Blue Dolphins" for that matter, but both are relevant. i had been considering finally reading Clan of the Cave Bear as i really read popular fiction, which presumably would also remind me of this, you know, running around as a young confused chick in furs and what have you.

As far as the worms, they were briefly required for compost. Basically, soil had been a primary limiting factor, but a limited number of agricultural things consumed soil (primarily carrot seeds and growing wheat), whereas otherwise soil was there forever and didn't require tilling.

So initially, under that system, the worms were required for compost, and you only got three composts per soil hole.

This is a much better system, where tilling is the bigger limiting factor and more things require soil.  However, I still really want multiple compost recipes, because mutton pie as a byproduct of compost keeps the rest of the food out of balance. [I also want multiple stew recipes]

At risk of getting too off topic (Jason is an avid gardener though lol) how much do you feed your worms?

My mom got me a worm box and i've been kind of terrible about remembering to feed them, and it's also been like a year to fill up two trays. I finally fed them quite a bit more recently, and it does seem time for tray three. I live in the country and work as a gardener and haul shit home so i have a huge conventional compost pile, but i'm going to use the worm soil for my potted plants. btw if you're saying $8 for 2cf of potting soil that is just what it costs.

Though speaking of this, we should totally be able to plant things in clay crocks. Maybe Jason will do that if tomatoes are ever implemented.

"Farmers of Forty Centuries: Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea, and Japan"

back when Jason was figuring out the composting formula I wrote a ton about it and still want people to actually read it lol, though it relates to a quite old version of the game now

I'm not sure if you're being sincere are sarcastic, but I sincerely think that's what's cool about the situation lmao

i disagree with letting people just die whenever. It's pretty damn fast to starve, or go step on a rattle snake, or whatever. I can't think of any good reason why a person doesnt have 1-2 minutes of not playing to die, but has time for another 60 minute game.

This is a really limited need. This game may be challenging, but dying isn't.

There are quite a few of them out there, but i never carry the stuff with me when i go on iron runs, figuring my odds of finding the far away ones again are relatively low anyway

it is annoying, we definitely in general should be able to control doors by clicking on them, but we do need to fix the pathing issue, because it's way too damn tedious, especially given how thin they are, with the north to south ones being far worse. So it's not just a matter of clicking, its also often more than one click, adding to the annoying, because if you click the other side of it you start repathing, etc.

i almost got stuck in the tutorial because i couldn't find the gate and that was when i had already played the game plenty lol. I actually saw a negative review from someone who hadn't figured out finishing the tutorial (kind of funny but also sad)

of course the other problem is the domestic boar kills people and people bring them back without a bow to shoot the damn thing.

Which is especially frustrating as pigs are mostly useless. The most obvious fix here is just to let you put it in pie, oven bake it, and just cook carnitas. But for the time being, seriously, just let us put it in the damn oven, that can't possibly be difficult to include.

JoshuaN, maybe you should be more focused on learning to survive than advanced tech. I have absolutely no trouble surviving, and it often isn't even stressful if i'm out by myself or in a decent village. What is stressful is trying to get people in a village to actually be useful, and not die of stupidity etc, and that will get better as people get used to the change.

You should be mastering the lower level techniques and memorizing all the important survival stuff etc before you're making things like Newcomen pumps (which btw, i don't know how to make)

A lot of the stuff in this game is specialized knowledge. The tech tree is big enough that by design every player is not meant to know how to craft every object

Maybe in your male lives you should run out into the woods with nothing but a berry to practice surviving. once running around with nothing but a basket, sharp stone, and a piece of food feels normal, the cities don't seem difficult at all. [though that is pretty stressful in its own right, due to the risk of being killed by a boar behind a tree or what have you]

also i really don't know what to take from you having spent 8 hours writing a resume for $20, or why someone would have a person with low writing skills do that for them. [not based on the quality of your posts, but on your own description of being a slow writer with no experience]. i'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess you either aren't American or are a child? [I mean no offense with this line of questioning, but i now it's going to stick in my head, because no one in America works 8 hours for the cost of this game. I have been considering the games value from the perspective of making $20 an hour, though even at federal minimum wage it costing 3 hours of labor to purchase is a great value.]

They deserve to be banned from the whole lineage, people do that to me all the time and it pisses me off.

1) Last names don't actually matter, despite how obsessed with them people are. We're all looking up our own lives via email address and it takes you right there. The only reason names matter is because babies inexplicably suicide if they don't see a last name, despite it having no other impact on gameplay. [true, you can't curse the nameless, but as a player this only possibly helps you, though i've never been cursed]

2) This is why we're not getting long term sustainable situations, because people suicide out of scion branches of families if they see anyone in the wild who isn't an Eve.

Kids very often don't even give me long enough to explain why I've left the city, and it's almost always for a good reason, such as its overpopulated enough that there wasn't an obvious way to contribute, was violent/culty, or were idiots on the brink of collapse. I usually always tell them where i'm from, if they're willing to hang around long enough to find out.

If i'm in the woods 75% of the time the kid doesn't want to be in that lineage. [though, kids will often suicide if i'm living in a city and just running to gather firewood or whatever. they seem to be really hostile to moms working at all]

the combination of this game and using the forums and looking at how I interact in this game compared to my real life and how I feel things should be etc has been so personally helpful and amazing for me.

The fact that Jason is accomplishing this great thing as an individual, who has a great vision, but is also fallible and has a limited amount of time etc, has made the entire experience of knowing and enjoying this game so incredibly enriching.

Enjoy the ride and contribute what you can.

This is an amazing thing, Jason's vision is solid AF and by its very nature it will constantly be imperfect. I lament the day this game stops being developed.

i'm learning so much about myself playing this.

Also, there are two people i earnestly described this game to who ultimately bought it, and both of them played around for a while and thought it was interesting and didn't really get into it. But neither of them were upset, because it's just $20 and it's interesting.

One thing i did find funny, is someone said, "this isn't a game i want to play when i'm relaxing after work" after the update.

it never was that to me. It's enjoyable and exhilarating, but this is a pretty frantic and stressful game, by it's nature, that's what makes it so rewarding. Still, it's plenty easy to have a pretty laid back life working as a baker or whatever.

Me, being me, I either focus on one thing to the detriment of seeing other problems in the community or run all over like a crazy person trying to solve all the problems but not doing enough to fix any of them.

Which are basically my two RL modes.

The individual is a total lunatic, and i think there is a principle at hand of not giving that individual a refund, as said individual claimed to have already played the game 500 hours, on servers Jason is paying for. Said individual also repeatedly posted information that would easily lead a person to other information showing said individual is in a long term lawsuit against another game for harassment within another game [that this individual alleges he or she played regularly for 8 years], and has also faced criminal charges for abusing 911 services. This information is available in public records, and as such there is no element of privacy protections (for publicly filed court documents).

However, i've been told to not "dox" anyone else on this forum or i will get a ban, despite the fact that the individual in question posted several things which would lead you to that individual's website, which include several publicly available documents including said individuals legal name regarding an ongoing lawsuit against a different game developer.

Strangely, said individual's ongoing lawsuit relates to alleged sexual orientation related harassment in another game, yet said individual called me a "cumlicker" on these forums. Granted, I'm not gay, so i suppose that isn't harassment based on my sexual orientation, however, were I gay, that would be harassment based on my sexual orientation.

NOTE: if Jason has not been following this issue, it is relevant to his understanding of the issue to know the individual in question is currently in legal proceedings against a different game developer.
