Dang it, another life and I had 26 yum chain this time, because did more hungry work. Didn't even eat wild foods. Furthermore I was very productive.
I started telling all my kids to eat only yum foods and make one super big yum chain. Had one brand new kid that asked what to do, I told him to plant onions because our town was missing them... Before this change it would be really unnecessary to have another yum food in the town, but now it's good to have it. I absolutely love this change tongue

How many times people were just standing still and do nothing, eating only mutton pies? Now we constantly need to farm different types of crops, cook different foods, smith a little bit more often... I mean, this change partially kills boredom.
I think this is one of the better changes that we lately got.

I just played a life and I like this 0.5 a lot.
Just spend more time on cooking and make different types of food, it's fun.
I had 22 yum chain at the end of my life, I killed only 3 sheep, could kill more but had no time to make new sheep because I was too old for that. There were still a few yum foods left in the town that I haven't ate.

You played this game for about a year, I don't think you can get a refund, and it's mean to even ask for it in this case.

Just chill... Perhaps biome restrictions will be removed and this game will be great again tongue

Maybe I would do this, but I'm scared some people would curse me for "hiding everyone's stuff".

#306 Re: Main Forum » Food nerf » 2020-04-12 02:05:13

I think only biome restrictions ruin this game. Without them we would have it all, civilization building, parenting and survival at once... and lots of fun. We could build without this bad feeling "this is sensless, we won't get rubber, or oil, or even if we do it's just an annoying thing to ask others for it or play in other fams just to get these things to our previous fam".

We have 4/5 families instead of 10 in different stage of tech which sux too.

Iron update isn't perfect either. It's pretty recent update and I already had multiple lives in multiple fresh towns where we had no iron veins, and there was nothing we could do about it, making another well site won't give us new iron veins even tho previous one gave us none... Or maybe my family just moved after making first well site? I can't know it and I can't find iron either if they moved. This feeling "this is pointless" is the worst part in this game to me.

Some of them just want to be born as a specific race.

Remove biome restrictions pls.

#309 Re: Main Forum » Food nerf » 2020-04-11 22:47:34

I'm still waiting for more survival-like things. Killing sadly was taken off, but maybe we will get wild animals that will attack us from time to time at some point? Would be cool.

#310 Re: Main Forum » Food nerf » 2020-04-11 22:42:13

This change makes it that we will eat more foods during our lifetime, and that means we can make higher yum chains. Basically making yumming more worth it. An optimal way to live. I'm happy with it.

This is just another dumb survival game.

Survival games aren't dumb. I'm here for the survival. There is a youtube chanel that review games in my country. Almost 2 years ago it reviewed one hour one life. The video started like this (translated):

"My first mother abandoned me without a word. I died of hunger after a few seconds after my birth.
I managed to chase my second mother in the woods for a while... she ran away, she ran away from me.
The third time I finally felt a substitute for the warmth of home's fire. And when I thought everything would somehow work out, my mother said honest and brutal words "we can't feed you all, some of you will need to leave when you grow up".
This is a survival game more difficult than life, because it strips the player of all delusions in every second of the gameplay."

This one video brought me to this game... People love survival games tongue

This chanel recently made another video with top 10 the harderst survival games. Of course one hour one life was in there too. "in one hour one life, surviving the first 5 minutes is almost a miracle" big_smile.

Can't we just store babies in clay crocks?

#312 Re: Main Forum » UPDATES DON'T ALWAYS = UPGRADES :( » 2020-04-10 00:21:35

I agree with all of these.
I mostly miss the old killing system. Current system is just boring and took away fun interactions and healers. Dammit, recently a man took right away my newborn kid and named him... how bad I wanted to kill him, but I couldn't. In older system my family could decide to either heal him or let him die, it was a great system.

This game tries to imitate reality in many cases. In reality if we wanted to stab someone with a knife, they would either run if they noticed our intentions, or they would just get stabbed. What we have in the game now doesn't make much sense.

A few things that I´d like to point at:

- In the rift Eves had no untouched land in like 6 hours. Probably less. Given the lack of wells and new updates a rift would probably limit the playable city places to 6 o 8 tops.

- In the rift there was hardly any mistrust to other families, what everyone had to deal with was feral eves and griefers (from your family and outsiders). Some familly raids took place but those were the less compared to lone attackers.

- Wars in this game won´t ever be fun because of autotarget and posse. Jason killed the only "skillful" approach to a battle dynamic and it is his word that the game is not supposed to have a battle system. Wars are simply not part of the equation.

- Expert waystones are needed because wandering around 1k on foot in the wrong direction is boring. Even wandering around a 400 square to the corners of your closest natural springs on foot to check if there are dry springs is a waste of time and only one race has access to horses. Even with horses is boring if you just take a direction randomly hoping to find someone. Even if you find someone you have to hope it is the race you are looking for. And even then, you have to hope, that maybe, you will find someone willing to help you. Thank god for expert waystones.

- I mean, I liked only some parts that were in the rift but they aren't here anymore

- If we had old killing system with no posse, no countdown and no autotarged, wars could be really fun.

- Yes, expert waystones are needed because we have biome specializations, if we had no biome specializations, expert waystones could be reworked to show random families, so we could still find other families, which is good.

How many times did you saw that happen ?

A few times. I think it's pretty often in new towns to see things that shouldn't be there yet... At begin I was doing the same thing, once I turned 3yo I was going to look for an expert waystone and going to a big town.  And then completely dressed in colorful clothes going back on a horse with tires with many useful things(backpacks with stuff, buckets, stacks of bowls/plates) to my town where everyone is half naked yet...

Today I played in a town that had almost no iron and there was no newcomen tower built next to kilns, this town probably just finished newcomen pump before I was born, because it was full of water yet. When I was about 40yo I saw someone on a horse brought us diesel engine and a few tanks of kerosene.
After that life I made this topic.

New towns getting kerosene and engines before even making newcomen tools. Other families just deliver those to new towns.
And I don't like it at all, it's boring.

It's just another bad thing caused by biome restrictions and expert waystones.

I would want every family making everything from scratch on their own. I would want families weren't that peaceful to each other. Rift wasn't perfect but I really liked that families were making walls around towns to protect themselves and their stuff from untrusted families. War/Peace was also very interesting to me... Yeah, in rift wars were bad, because they were causing apocalypses, but in infinite world they could be very fun.


I don't really care about getting new content, if game mechanics are making this game boring...

#317 Re: Main Forum » My thoughts » 2020-04-08 23:03:48

What do you think about this, people? Do you like no solo and countdown to kill thing?
Don't you want sometimes to kill people who make you mad, but instead you cursing them because you can't kill them?

also slots punish veterans who care about work, that's a double nerf to them while roleplayers who just sit near fire and eat, are rewarded for the passive style.

That was the reason we got tool slots. Jason wanted to slow down veterans.

I actually don't care about tool slots that much... They have little impact on the game, they don't really ruin it.

Biome restrictions for the other hand ruin many aspects of the game and give practically nothing positive in return.

There is no iron lying around anymore after the recent update, you can get it only from iron veins.

#320 Re: Main Forum » Private Server For Windows / Modding » 2020-04-08 05:27:43

Yes, you HAVE TO close with ctrl c otherwise it will crash next time you open it.

I've lost 6 hours of a world due to not knowing what to do. If anyone has any idea (and can explain it in dummy terms) I'd really appreciate it!

You mean what to do in-game?

If yes, first make Well site, it will unlock you iron veins in west and east of it (up to 160 tiles, so if your place is very unlucky you could possibly get no iron veins). It will be your home. Make an adobe kiln then make some bowls and plates. Make a backpack, tools (first tools will be a shovel to finish the well and an axe to cut some trees and keep the fire going with firewood). Then it's up to you, you can farm, cook, make clothes, get a horse, make a sheep pen, upgrade the well...

#321 Re: Main Forum » New Invention - Metal Oven » 2020-04-08 00:57:07

I like this idea too, but it shouldnt be too easy accessible. The cost of it should be about 10 steel ingots, maybe even more, and some parts of it could be done only using newcomen tools.
