One Hour One Life Forums

I agree with Dodge's list.

I'd also like to be able to pass gate ownership to a whole familly ("familly X owns this") instead of saying everybody's single name.

I see.
Wow.
Well, now I'll know.

Indeed, that town sucked. Two bows were trapped top right corner with a bear, one bear was inside town, and I thought all my life I was fenced inside too. Only when I got 35 I finally found a hole, very east, almost near rift. I had five minutes to have a girl, my kids /died and I was last woman. I met nobody in town either, I thought I was the really last one. So, in a hurry, I found this bow outside and two arrows, one was already on a bear. I wanted to kill it, get the arrows and kill bears inside town. And I shot this guys, crossing my road at the wrong time. He wasn't that a kid tho. (I feel bad enough)

Well, lesson learned !

Hey there, little Piotr ! You were born at the very end of the trip. That was a long and stressful walk, I felt a bit sorry for my kids they have to spend so many years walking. I'm glad you didn't die by bear at this life ! I was also glad (and a bit proud) the lineage had been saved for a while.

Thank you Pein for the explanations. Another advice I forgot is "let the kid come to you". If the kid says F, I stop and let him reach me, to avoid the dance I come up to take you-you come down to reach me-I come back down-you come back up-ffs stop moving!!
Indeed, don't bother with lazy kids or rude babies. I also don't run after kids, I warn them to stay in my arms while I show them around or look for loot. If they jump once, I warn again, if they jump twice, I give them up. They just waste your time and hunger.

I have a similar story :
I was born in a kicking town, engine is set up, there are baskets full of pies... Only a few berry bushes are languishing, i can't see any bucket around so, okay, I go on a rope mission. I leave the town with only my pants on. Quickly, I find a backpack, wooden shoes and a rabbit fur coat for me, and a lot of clothes that I can't take. I pass by a lot of arrows and bows hidden behind trees, I found two knives and a broken horse cart. Great ! I'll first get a rope to repair the horse to bring all clothes to town. Obviously, no more wild milkweed but I find a spot near swamps, with a bowl of milkweed seeds, a stone hoe, clay bowls and other usefull stuff. Okay, let's plant four of them, while they grow I can explore more. But there's only three seeds... It's gonna be a bit longer than expected. And here comes a man to who I explain what I'm doing. He hands me a milkweed stack. Omg thank you, just what I was missing ! Then he suggested we plant more milkweed to have a bondage party. That sounds fun, I accept.

Here starts our ant work : all by hand, one brings wild soil with basket and backpack, the other separates with a bowl, one makes rows with the stone hoe, the other plants, we switch roles, we made a chain to water the plants (I was laughing hard when we were switching empty bowls with bowls of water) as we had no well but some pounds south.
At then end, we got around sixty milkweeds. We filled our backpacks, two extra backpacks I had found previously, and one basket (btw Arkajalka next time, bring the bp instead of basket as it holds one more item) and went back to town.

Only to find a bunch of starving half-naked people, running over bones everywhere inside the city and its dry berry field, raw pies, kids shouting F... I fell like hanging myself with my ropes.
During all our farm job, we fed ourselves with berries, two or three rows of carrots, bananas, cactus fruits, and 3-4 bites of pie. And there was some food left when we left our farm. How did we last ? We were yumming (I assume Arkajalka was too). We didn't have a big variety of food, but even a small chain is better than nothing. One berry, one berry from a bowl, one carrot, start over. You'll last longer than eating three berries from the bush.

Since the rift update, it's even harder to teach newbies. They die quickly because they forget to eat, stand on desert tiles  or one of us just get killed by grieffers/foreigners. We live under preassure and emergency, and it too much ends in a bloodbath. That's not really fun.
I won't talk about all the stuff hidden behind trees. In this life, I saw maybe six bows and ten arrows hidden in the wild, and I haven't explored that much. No wonder why there's no rope for bucket.

I personally think the rift is way too small. I don't like it because I don't like being trapped, yet it's way too small.
I made some quick mathematics with the towns Slinky and I built on a low pop server. The city I built alone sprawls out on around 100x80 tiles. I started by walking more than 400 tiles to find a good spot (I wanted a hudge biome with a few of non-removable objects). I have dug and used all the big rocks over two hundred tiles around the city. Trees too, I even planted more. I tapped all the iron veins 300-400 tiles around. The city looks like a city, it could probably host 10-15 people and I spent around 80-90 hours on it. So, that's something a familly could easily do, as long as people are working. And many do, and many explore far.
The kitchen Slinky built in the south city is only a 12x5 buildings, with six doors. That's 34 stones, 72 logs (for floor only), more than one chisel, four mallets. The southern city is even bigger than the northern one, no need to say we have explored even farther than 400 tiles around. They are 600-700 tiles far appart, that's 2-3min by horse. Not far at all.

It seems to me that there's even less big rocks since yesterday, with the new biomes generation. What means less big buildings. Well,  if famillies/cities have to last three days anyway, I don't really see the point of building them.

Those are my disjointed thoughts about the rift. If it remains that small, it removes some creativity.
With that map size, people meet too early and fight too early. And too much.
Also, 21 related girl kids ?! To what we add maybe 10 men ? More than 30 people in a single familly, isn't it a bit too much ?

Quiet lives like the one we had are too rare. So "thznk you" again, Arkajalka !

Thank you for the round patterns, i like the 3-5-9-11 very much and may try it very soon. Also some great ideas with the 20x20 patterns. Now I feel like building most of them... Tho I think 4 farms in a row isn't convenient as, if the floor tile is taken by compost for example, you can't drop your bowl close to the farm (moving during a repetitive task annoyes me). Diagonal floors make harveting easier, as you're not annoyed with someone below, hidding your bowl.

I also like your irrigation machine, though I doubt we see it in game one day. A simple garden hose would be awesome too, just to avoid bucket-plant-bucket-plant boring movements. Or if we could just link the well to cisterns with pipes, so the cisterns get filled automatically (once again, well-cistern-well-cistern isn't very interesting). You could even add taps to choose which cistern you wanna fill.

@Olij
Whatever you say, I stopped reading your posts a while ago, because they are either full of hate, mispelling, or stupidities (I still laugh hard thinking about your one-thousand-stakes roads). It's a pain in the ass to read you, and in the end, I realise I lost my time. It seems you have a very boring life, you may not be surrounded by loving and carrying familly/friends, and to prove you exist you think annoying people is the best idea. I feel sorry for you, and would to reply to your any of your posts with something like this if I had time to waste :

And what I just saw :

Go ahead guys, pimp your gardens !

I played around with your garden in Gimp. You can easily turn it into a heart shape, or diamon (grey boards=stone floor).
And I left some rectangular shapes, as you love them
I surrounded with roads because it was easier to copy-paste but it's supposed to be boards.

All those are just suggestions !

The warsword shouldn't be made out of steel.
I'm against the warsword, that's a mean and stupid update, but now we have to deal with it. Okay, but it should be a little bit harder for them to build it than just steal the pipes intended to the oil rig That is really annoying to spend all your life gathering iron, turning it to steel, getting water and kindlings, all this mostly alone, finally get a bit of pipes, enough to set the pump before you die, and some kids come and turn your pipes into swords.

Was that the Bossard familly ? If so, I turned a lot of your iron into steel, helped at the end of my life by a young boy. We were indeed so rich !
But... we were only boys, no girl left, familly is dead. Bye bye our work !

@Valareos : You can make nice castle crenels alternating high and small bell tower bases, for front and back walls. It takes some lives and some chisels, but the result is worth it !

Today, we welcomed an Eve and her daughter to our town. One of our member wanted to get rid of them, he killed the Eve, I picked up the baby and he stabbed her while she was in my arms (killing action started before I pick the girl up). That shouldn't happen. I want a chance to save kids, moreover when we all except one agree to welcome foreigners.

I met this person twice today.

Once I was a brand new baby, a man stole me from my mother and named me Adolfo. I wrote his name down but forgot about cursing him once I was an adult.

Second time, I was a grandma and a girl (Lisa) came to me, saying with her four letters words that a woman was naming kids Adolfo near the fire. I went there, got the kid she just poped out and ran away with him, named him John (sorry baby, it was panic, I was starving and so were you) before I dropped him and fed him. I cursed the woman and she chased me around to know why. I was on my nerves and it was so obvious that I didn't reply. A little bit later and older, Lisa got a knife and stabbed the woman. Of course, some players didn't see the whole scene and cursed Lisa. I was 58, starving, a man asked me who killed, I just had time to say "trust Lisa".

I also found some notes in many towns saying "name your kids/adopted kids adolfo".

If you read this, adolfo lover, I'll keep cursing you if I meet you and if you don't understand why, it's that you're even more stupid than you seem.
