One Hour One Life Forums

List is currently all sorts of mucked up and 100% needs revisited.

-Froe isn't a tool but something like hot coals, tongs, or covering a kiln is ???
-Chiseling a big stone and making cut stones isn't a skill but cutting a block from part of a rock is ???
-Healing people is supposed to be something that uses the pads/sterilized knife/thread skills but you only need to specifically know the knife skill to treat wounds unless it's a snake bite (and those are almost always fatal anyways.)

Plus all the other bugs that can be found on the github. Tools really either need to be scrapped as it's likely to be a 2 month project of updating things in a slow painful way or going to always be a bunch of nonsense. I understand why people thought this was a good idea but it's not remotely implemented correctly and honestly is it worth doing what we're doing the same slow updates to fix the tool skills like we've done with oil?

I think not.

The biggest issue this arc is he didn't push the tap out fix and I believe there's one well this time around. Spent an hour leading the Thunder family on a nomad search to find any spring site or well for about 56 minutes until we finally reached the one along the south side of the map.

This is my first time experience the well search instead of being one of the people who makes the wells and let me tell you - If you have no idea where the wells are located on the map its hell searching around. It made for a good one time experience but if the game was going to be like that an hour after reset I would just avoid playing or /die until I reached a well.

Since none of the springs were completely dry we just assumed there was a well somewhere along the line or fresh springs somewhere ( we walked east to west and then south, and finally back east before we found the town which we only found due to dug big rocks.)

Unless he really refines it (and even still) I think this is just something that should be scrapped. Keep the oil one because it helps with finding the tapped tarry spot but limiting wells via the drying method is just not very good. If he's going to stick to the limiting water game plan he should limit spring sites instead as this allows for people to start up but doesn't kill all the viable spots on the map in <30 minutes of the arc being started.

Experience wise 8/10. Was alright but wouldn't do it again.
Gameplay wise 1/10. Hour long walking simulator has been done better before.

Steel plow coming soon™

It's Jason logging into an account that is flagged to spawn in as Jason. He could turn any one of us into Jason only accounts if he really wanted to.

Might be a funny gag to turn donkeys into Jason so they know they're in DT lmao.

Regardless of how you feel he does read suggestions on stuff (see the recent bait bag suggestion.) Sure, it can feel frustrating to suggest something and not see it but to spread misinformation doesn't help either side any.

My biggest concern is this is one of these things he isn't going to refine until months down the line like quite a few updates. We still don't have all the steel stuff finished being recyclable and that update was released in July yikes. It's bad enough tool limits basically make Eve useless in her camp but I guess it brings early game down to par with the rest of the game (we can't have the only good part be early game so lets make it mediocre to match mid/late game.)

As others have said before there aren't homes because houses are basically aesthetic items you build to make things look nice. The static heat bonus you get is basically useless because no activity requires you to stay inside a building the entire time. Rooms are too small for you to really care as anything bigger than 6x6 suffers from cold areas so why would you make a giant room that takes up resources and space for the sake of it just looking nice?

Having rooms or building in the current game isn't much different than if we used the old trash pits to divide up animal pens. Sure walls would look nicer but trash pits would keep things out and always we easily expanded.

Unless you add activities that take time like fishing where you sit in one spot for an extended period of time buildings will always be useless. However, if you do create something where you stand in one spot we've already discovered the most optimal one tile building set up which means you'll see a bunch of random ass T shaped buildings instead of square ones.

As someone who has built my own personal home in different villages on the server in the past it makes for a cool activity but between buildings basically being useless and not having real decoration options why would people build houses? Lol.

As I said before in another thread just break it down into basic tier and advanced.

A basic cook does things related to hot coals cooking for example and an advanced cook uses ovens, cooks on flat rocks, and can butcher sheep.
A basic smith can make steel tools and an advanced smith does newcomen related tech.
Basic tailor does rabbit fur and can shear sheep and make thread while an advanced tailor does wolf hats, seal skin vests, snakeskin boots, saddles, and loom stuff.
Basic carpentry skill is making bell tower bases, cutting stones, making boards, making mallets, cutting discs and putting up walls. Advanced construction is taking down walls, installing doors, installing floors, making boxes, making slot boxes, making rail carts + rails and carts.
Basic farming is planting seeds, taking buckets of water out of a well, tilling soil with a stone hoe. Advanced farming is steel hoe, shovel, making compost, breeding animals, catching animals.

You get the drift. You can add more categories such as animal husbandry, (breeding, catching, etc.) transport (horses, horse carts, cars, and planes) or expand skills. Give players 4 skill slots which means you can do two things really well or four things alright. This cuts down on so many useless skills that have one use while still giving people distinct jobs.   

The point is as of right now it's possible to do dumb stuff in a really bad way considering all the trap options.

He's not joking. This is something you can actively do in game under current conditions with the only downside is you're likely to get cursed by farming your children for meme score.

Back to the start of the thread the life limit is clearly harmful in cases where the end is near as babies keep spawning themselves into mothers who won't feed them thus running them out of lives. However, if your meme score is low enough you might as well just kill yourself mid life to get around the tool limit.

For example: You want to help make your town an engine so they've got water and what not. First life learn tongs, firing kiln, hammer, newcomen hammer, roller.

Convert all your iron to steel
Smash one iron for the tank with your hammer
Make your Pistons and rods.
Kill yourself.

Get reborn and learn bore, lathe, knife, oven, free space.

Bore two pistons
Bore three rods
Lathe the stuff
Fetch rubber from wilderness
Combine stuff together
Finish engine.

Kill yourself again and now start actually playing. Unless your gene score is high enough to have 9 slots then killing yourself is probably the better option due to the increase chance of fuck ups when introducing a second person to engine making. Fucking up also means you need +1 tool slot bringing your required slots to 10 which is the max slots atm.

So long story short, score only really matters if you're playing a single life in a single sitting. If you're going to binge and play a few lives it doesn't really matter to have meme score and you'll actively be sinking someone else's score to get around the restrictions of tool slots.

Then why have you left it like this for so long? People have asked you to give out Eve tokens for either living to old age multiple times or some other positive way instead of making the only way to Eve be annoying a bunch of players.

The only way to play Eve without using /die constantly during the Eve window is:

1. Be one of the first people on the server after reset.
2. Be banned from all the birth mothers while the Eve window is open (which is likely impossible at the start of the arc when there's like 10+ families.)
3. Be cursed from all the families but not have so many curses that you end up in dt (unlikely.)

You don't get to play Eve if you want to play fair.

It's not called meme score for no reason. Play as Eve on a server reset without map wipe? Easiest first place you will ever get in the game (I've done this two or three times now.) It's mostly luck based on whether or not your kids are smart and how willing they are to live in whatever scenario you've given them.
