One Hour One Life Forums

ah, yeah. I was born in Edd town to a newbie who ran away with a horse, like 4000 away from the ginger family, that's 100 tile per minute. she didn't even understood the bands, and wanted to do a fire under the road, and she had at least another girl later when crossed the road so I wasn't technically the last, maybe i just lived longer. And she bailed somewhere later, not sure where, I told her about the nearby ginger city, but I got no clue where she was. And I tried to explain to her but she had no patience for baby talk.

so you expected me to travel 4000 tiles in 26 minutes to keep a griefed family alive, cause now checking some logs they died to shot grizzly bear which is either incompetence or intentional. there isn't even a ginger city west of groot, and with the gen debuff starting from scratch is suicide.

I was in Groot and was like 32 when I had some time to talk, after I got a horse in Polynice, and wasn't even paved at that time, I stayed out of band to not take away your spawns. So you cursed me and let  Kailie Klimpson Gene score 27.77 Curse score 23 BOOK BABY HALL live in your city 3 lives without recognizing that you signed your death.

So not knowing the context you just cursed the last female of the line without ever meeting me. But you had no problem living with someone who has more lives in donkey than normal lives.

that's around when I cursed her and got cursed back 2 days later for not tolerating her bullshit. That's when Pearl family started and I took the 4th Eve to a town and built it up almost alone. See? There is some patterns, why some towns and families succed and why others don't. you proved my point.

And the other guy I was talking about was doing the paving, probably you have a reason why he is cursed out too. You should be really nice to people who do the paving cause any legit player who could keep your families you hold deer, are at least 2000 tiles away from you when they start griefing you, cause you harbor the actual assholes. good luck fixing them xD

when? where? how you even know it was me?

I don't remember any game where I was the last female and wasn't in my band for a prolonged time.

if you are so invested, you should check the discord.
the bot commands are public and not too extensive. but also answers your problems. for example you set a new fire and say bot fire, so he swaps on it. I don't really want to control each and everyone, I expect that some players will be useless toward the main tasks, and others do tasks that aren't really important for the current stage of the game. so the bot doing the tasks no one does is fine. feeding one person is not that big of a deal. that also answers your other concern. a player would also eat a food that's there if he is starving. bot actually eats whatever near fire, so you should drop a few carrot pies. his speed isnt extreme, I work at same speed if I try to do stuff and I'm on my main pc. he can also fetch berries in bowls if you set up a box with bowls in it. generally I would have popcorn and garlic in bowls near the babies. a few carrot or mutton pies. dump some soil near compost and have water in buckets, more than one if the farm is larger.
one fertile female and beans it's really an edge case. I blame the game for a feature that goes against it's initial goal. especially that I suggested it and was pretty obvious it has to have some sort of limitation. personal yum is more important than city wide variety, technically you should do one for each person in the city so like 12-20 per hour of each food like carnitas, eggs or beans. and your skilled players who cut trees or mine iron benefit more from yum than your female who didn't even reach 20 yum.

families die, but that also shoudnt be taken as granted. ever since I started playing, I enjoy  paving roads but can't keep up with the distance that families are placed. the biome rings were great but the bands are horrible. 400-600 minimum each family but often 1200 away and dies out too early, yesterday was 2000-0-2000 for 3 fams, even when we ran the paver ahead it didn't reach. if the gingers survve, others could just as well with pip bonus and free stuff taken to them. distance makes no sense. trading makes no sense. 804 tiles of playable area on an unlimited map makes no sense. it's like you using a big monitor with 10 pixels of a strip on it actually showing things. tldr I don't hate the bot tending fire and picking berries, tending bushes, aka the boring stuff. fembot was actually better than 80% of the playerbase for staying put and surviving. people cherry picking towns kills towns. jason fails to understand to reward things or give options to people who want options.

bots identify themselves from age 0 just say 'bot', it's not an ai language model, it's a simple command. also just follows and as for feeding when needed, too good of a baby? so he is net positive, and if you want just block him with a few branches or say 'bot stop' and he starves .

jason obfuscated absolute cords.
it's only relative cords to birth. or triangulating from a bell tower. since it's 2d and square based, it's always same angles, so apparently one bell enough.

there was a bug with graves and messages. basically, relative coords based on birth. I was using a coordinate graphing tool to put them as dots. stdout txt had them, copy paste generate. first it took me long time. +- -- etc. hard to wrap your head around while playing. but once graphed I was able to visit 4-5 towns in a life, bell runs without bells but closer, like 300-900 tiles only. we had fun doing it. jason patched the exploit.

I forgot who made it, In an excel map he generated color codes on biomes, then you found a 3-4 biome meeting point, wrote down from middle to clockwise like 1 grass 2 savanna 3 arctic etc. 9 number, find in excel table. 3-4 biome mix was quite unique, with new map not so much, also making the table was long time.

tutorial and donkey town was somewhat fixed. but yeah, on wondible map you can spot a biome shape or city if you roughly know it.

travel has no point right now. I tried a few times, and it was fun with the bug to the graves, as nobody else knew it how, so it was like bell runs without bells. the travel stones are similar but with 2 families it messes you up. there were too many attempts to ruin coordinates and navigation, and the flaws with single families are kind of rough
but just as a game element, it makes no sense. it's like a sales pitch, 'oh the map is huge and you can never get to the end', why would you want to? around 150-200 hours in I realized the power of horses and stops, so I was designing towns in mind with running around on horse carts, and I was placing some fences 100-200 tiles in strategic zones.
there were some interesting towns, like one was 40+ gens the other started later and was around 25-30 gens, they were barely 300 away but a huge ice biome blocked any travel on foot, played for a week in both towns when I finally realized you can cross one to the other.
there were some lives where towns were 600-900 tiles away and tried creating a road, never finished.
there were some attempts when we made roads like 4-6000 long manually, connecting everything. you ended up with people stealing engines and anything of value. even when I locked up a horse cart and made my town again it was gone by the next time.
90% of players live their life within 50x50 tiles, some others travel like one direction then return.
rift was a bad idea for a whole server, but for a family, 200x200 isn't that bad.
the other issue is the 'everything runs out' principle. it's a game, it should be an idealistic world where you can fix everything, create endless value and live in harmony with the nature. mistakes shouldn't be final and you should be able to progress endlessly.

I had an idea back before, basically each family would have a seed, but each town would be a unit on it's own, with the ability to place it on a world map, basically teleporting it. the eve would mark a center tile, and gradually unlock 50x50, 100x100 up to 200x200 tiles. that would be the town. it would still have an area around it, so you could travel on foot. but it would be just a randomized land of a similar size, like 2-300 tiles.

x -town o-empty
the towns would be placed in the middle tiles, and the area around it would be empty.
other means of travel could include trains or boats or airplanes
underground subways would be best, since it would show on your map but wouldn't need to be connected.
towns could upgrade it and travel to other places for a cost, instantly
travel is boring. finding towns more than 20 minutes away is hard, and boring and makes no sense when you don't live any longer than 60 and not fertile after 40, moving people so far is pointless
so this way you could have the travel but also would make the map more compact

there could be a ranking system or weekly limit of how much you need to achieve. then people would have their own towns they could return to and fix it up. people could rank map seeds with good or bad or more scaling ranks like 1-10.
then the bad ones could be wiped and replaced. it could even be a ranking system that places good towns closer to the center and would give more resources around it.

for the progression: the town should be a unit, with parts that count as sub unit. each item would be tracked around it, you couldn't take items from the town territory as other family, and travel methods wouldn't let it either.
there could be eras with requirements to build certain stuff, then it could reflect in the style of items. some items should be expensive, but the resources should come back endlessly, making work more important than the actual resources.

I would also love private lands. for example each town would have a town center, 50x50 always shared, the outer ring could be taken as private lands, like a 10x10 plot, and you could fence it up, and automatically leave a road in between. these lands could be used to produce things.

for all these the whole game should be changed in a few ways.

search for the email and at the end there is a 20 characters long key in the download link

there are cloud gaming services that work on mac. boosteroid for example, but the servers are in europe. ohol can be installed but it's a bit tricky. you got to go to the menu of the steam from the cloud pc, which only happens with games that allow that, like pro evolution soccer (free demo anyway) and then find ohol on your steam list, install, log in and play. the bad part is that your settings won't be saved, and you got to install it each time you play and can't be more than 10 minutes inactive. you can do a macro to move your mouse before each 10 min but if you just play a few hours that's entirely fine. it installs it within a few seconds. have been playing INL like that, my pc only has intel hd video card and the unity for INL is a bit more demanding than ohol, so I can only run it on medium and close range but can run it on max settings in cloud. usually I got like 20-30 gb extra space in cloud and the install is super quick. I guess if ohol would be on their list then it would be simpler.

not much really, as a baby stay in the fire, don't waste their time and food bar, the colder you are the more you eat, so walking around it's not too efficient for them. also get used to lower food bars, the chimes are annoying but you won't die by only eating each minute once. better players know the timings but panicking and running after them might get you starved.

better players usually tell what is needed or what is their plan. usually it's ropes or boards or more pottery or storage always welcome. generally I give a small task to kids, or tell them what is the most important, but they might not know how to do it. also bad players give bad instructions so listening to them is also bad.

in exchange for raising you it's nice to do one small boring task, like adding soil and watering plants, making compost, killing wild animals and collecting rounds stones, rabbits. but the majority of vets don't expect you to do much, try to not fight over resources and respect others privacy/properties, and have fun.

I mean pigments in the skin adapting to heat or cold isn't a big of a stretch. but it's hard to make significant to be important enough but not more important than other things.

They made INL and it is fun but since some of the mechanics are just reductant, like having babies is actually annoying. the playerbase there is more hardcore since it needs a better rig and more knowledge and another payment. and the age is limiting you from doing things while you are born on the same place anyway. so all in all being a baby is bad, and starting as an adult is good.

so no reason fixing Jasons nightmare updates, just scrap it, the game can have a new identity with new mechanics that make sense, good reward and punishment systems that aren't too complex and just make sense.

@selalov734 the way Jasus did the characters, their head positions or hairs are completely different positions so they aren't interswappable, I tried it. I even made a working, decently looking character but it's a pin doing it. the eyes are also way too low resolution, 9 pixels are already huge, kind of the same as the biggest one, and so it can only be black and white.

yeah the engine limitations are crap, we could make nice looking mods that are easy to install but can't fix the crap ui and can't add stamina or hp then can't really make it any better.

checks the 8x8 for temperature, the player is top left of middle tiles. walls limit the 8x8 to smaller size. walls and floors add insulation values. overly complex for like 0.05 bonus when a fire is already almost perfect

actually 2 fires with 2 free space create 4 perfect zones in L shape both top and bottom, also 5x1 room with a fire on one edge makes perfect temperature on the other edge.

turn it into a gen z snowflake game even more.

when idiots could be killed the game was way better. honestly if you suck at it you deserve to be harassed. if you can't even reflect on mistakes or get butthurt by legit claims then the problem is you. if you can't ignore bullshit the problem is with you.
being offended doesn't mean you are right
everything is your fault, either you allow it or attract it in your life.

you could stop any time

I play YAH on emulator, I'm slower than usual and got to work side to side when combining. has the spiral and the old good mechanics, and some quality of life changes. most players are dog water tho, as you can imagine. there is a mechanic that you mark a town for your spawn so you get back if someone buries your bones and you play 10 minutes meanwhile. it's not 100% to get back but it's still fun to continue your town and sometimes play with others.
