Getting oil isn't an enjoyable thing to do, especially if nobody is helping.
So even when kerosine ends, people often don't try to get more.

Working together makes things enjoyable, but working together isn't a common thing in this game, it's more about luck if you meet a person that actually wants to do the same thing as you do.

Chat box would fix this issue

I never cared about genetic fitness since it had no use. Now since it's actually worth having high genetic fitness I don't want to just die. Creating more things like this may encourage people to focus on surviving their life instead of giving up.

Majority seems to not know that axe can make kindling. I keep seeing many new hatchets almost in every town, even those with so much iron. That's a waste of ropes to make hatchets.
But axe can do things that hatchet can't, so it can't be the same tool. Noobs will waste their slot for hatchets even in advanced towns. That's not so big deal.

Buildings are for esthetic purposes and it's not less important to make them than any other things. I experienced many times how lazy and useless people were in messy and ugly towns. Little cleaning and everyone saw a sense to work again, a town starts working again.
Towns wouldn't survive without floors and buildings just because of psychology reasons. People will be less likely to care about messy, ugly town.

I'll make sure to keep my genetic score as low as possible so I can enjoy it even more haha

Womens belong to kitchen. They shouldn't be able to choose any other proffesion. Just kidding

If rabbits were finite it would be worth to master the bate skill in early arcs. Later on it would be better to master knitting needles, shears and loom.
Further more you could do that only shorn sheep making poop after feeding. Sheep lambs at current state give too much just for a little bit of water - flence, dung and meat.
Or even better only non shorn sheep would poop after feeding, shorn sheep would make fleece, and sheep lamb would only grow without pooping.
In this case we wouldn't really save any more water than hunting ifinite rabbits, and crafting other clothes than rabbit ones would be another job for multiple people, those who need to build a loom and those who want to use it.

Does it make sense? You don't care anyway, but I know it would be a better mechanic than current one. At least making other clothes wouldn't be useless, it would become a need.

I mean we still have infinite rabbits, hunting them is just a little bit more inconvenient than without bait. There is no need to make any other clothes than these from rabbits, no need to make looms. It would be better if rabbits were finite IMO.

Shovel + sharp for compost, axe for kindling and firewood, hammer + kiln for smithing, adobe for cooking.
6 tools is enough to do almost everything that is needed to survive.

I'm not sure if limiting things people can do is a good idea. It would be so boring if I had to cook all life.
And btw, this change won't make our lives more interesting in more advanced towns. People will still be bored and walk around with no purpose.

Game sells well because it looks great at first sight. If it was so good people wouldn't leave it so fast, you could earn much more with game like this.

I would enjoy cooperation.
I don't yum because it's time consuming, but I would enjoy if I had to yum in order to make family thrive for longer. I would enjoy if newbies could learn how to play and cooperate without spending tons of hours, this would open a way to make game harder which is enjoyable to me. I would enjoy chat box in a game where we need to work and cooperate to thrive. Yesterday I was reading your post http://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=63 and I liked it but I was thinking this won't work without actual communication with family members, that's why I posted an idea about making a chat box.

Your success may turn out to be a short term success if all that game gives is a good first look. You will earn nothing if game dies out, and it is going to this direction because you don't listen to people.

It's not a good comparsion, people can't tell you what jokes will be funny to them. You may know about game development but you seem to know nothing about business and that's why you have so little playerbase now. I couldn't tell what jokes would be funny to me but I could tell you what I would enjoy in the game. People tell tou what they want, that's the beauty of this business. You can predict what will be good and what will be not. If our needs are irrelevant to you, you will most likely fail. 40-50 players playing on average? That's a joke number, but that's what you deserve.

I like working together with people, which is kinda rare because of lack of communication. I like when everyone is working instead of walking around and being useless which is common. I like playing with pros, sadly majority is noobs because of bad tutorials and small sight range. I like survival part which is also missing in more advanced towns. I wish yumming was actually important thing to survive, again with bad communication it's senseless to actually make things harder, there are too many noobs and they have very little way to improve without outternal sources again because of bad tutorials and bad communication system.

I found out about factorio thanks to this forum, and I really enjoy that game, I have a break from OHOL.
I think OHOL will die sooner or later to be honest, there are fewer and fewer people playing it. It has potential to be a really good game tho.
