One Hour One Life Forums

Love this. Now the question is, is this the fist 1h1l fan fic, or did this actually happen in the game?

This would be a great thing for Jason to implement, as it stands if you are a newly spawned eve it takes forever to get to the stage where basic sewing is possible (this is partially due to the lack of milkweed, but also all of the hassles of raising children, finding food, building a fire etc.).

It makes sense, right now the bones are just sitting there taking up space, any sensible person in survival mode would consider using them.

That would be an awesome idea. It would also make finding other people much easier as a feral eve.

Does anyone want to update the wiki with info on composting, I would...but I am still just learning the mechanics myself.

Once again, this is another reason why I would love for someone to setup a sandbox server with our food requirements nerfed (as in, we do not need much food to survive). We could work on developing new farming techniques there and then migrate these techniques out onto the main servers in due course.

Anyone willing to set this up. I am sure if the forum members worked together to figure out the composting mechanics and new tribal roles, we could make this update fun and productive.

All the villages that I have spawned in have died of starvation, the composting certainly makes this game 5x more challenging.

I think for now, the best option is to find some clothes and then live a life of migration with maybe one other pop. Perhaps these migrating groups could plant gooseberry bushes as they travel so that other travelers in the future have food sources available (I'm not sure if this is possible with the new update, do seeds produce domestic or wild bushes?).

I enjoy learning from the older generations quite a bit, and by trial and error.

With that being said, many civs assume that their newborns already know the ins and outs and are not too eager to lend a helping hand. This can lead to long term sustainability issues, because things like fire making take multiple steps, and if you do not know how to do it then you are basically SOL depending upon where you spawn. If you are lucky, somebody will teach you, but most of the time you will be left to either die or do menial labor like fetching water. Once the older gen is gone, you are then expected to maintain their way of life, and if you do not know basic skills then everyone's hard work is lost.

Perhaps the optimal solution would be a special sandbox server where you do not have to worry about hunger, and you can take time to learn how to craft. This server could be purged nightly so as not to become a major burden on the system or ruin the core values of the game.

This update is a huge game changer, and is going to cause people to have to rewrite the rules for their civs. I appreciate this change though, since in the real world you cannot work a plot of land for a long period of time without proper fertilization.

While new rules and play styles develop, the best short term strategy is going to have to be to keep a civ sparsely populated and manageable.  Now more than ever, if you have dead weight at your camp, your likelihood of starving is also higher. People are quick to discard male babies in this game, but since this system is going to require more labor, having unencumbered males at your camp that can do the grunt work is going to become important.
