    This update is likely full of bugs and issues. It is the nature of modding, and we will adjust as necessary. Some adjustments may require a client patch. If you are in doubt about your version, the latest is always at Frank’s Github page. If you get “Login Failed”, you probably have an outdated client.

    The following is an incomplete list of patched items. Some are familiar from the testing phase, others are brand new (new items were added up until this morning). Some recolors were performed, and some sprites were replaced.

-Mammoths are now in the game. They yield ivory, hides, and meat. There are 15 breeding pairs in the world. Once they are gone, they are gone. They can be used as mounts and to plow fields for grapes.

-Four regional resources have been spawned. Each provides the means to create more of this rare resource. Controlling the flow of these resources provides military and economic opportunity.

- Support for 9 nations/empires has been added. National crowns can print banners. Banners can be used on ancient stone walls. Swordsman and shield bearers can rally to a banner on a stone wall, transforming their items into the custom submissions from the community for each nation. The nations discord can be found here.

-Apfels, tobacco, grapes, and chickens/eggs added. These each have their own crafting tree and benefits. Apfels and grapes require bees to cultivate properly. Chickens must be fed wheat from a bowl to make eggs.

-Swords, shields, and armor added. Officer’s armor and helmets added. Adding wolfskin cloaks, and dyeing armor, have been included.

- Windmills can be used to clean up threshed wheat on the ground.

-Sexual reproduction functionality for mammoths and chickens is now supported.

-Simplified Mendelian genetics functionality for grapes. Good wine requires good grapes. Good grapes require pollination by other grape vines. Owning a large vineyard increases your ability to produce good wine.

-Smoking and luxury items like ivory goblets added. You can store cheroots in a cheroot box made of ivory. Ivory spear added for killing bull mammoths.

-Nomad robes/tents have been recolored. Bear hat reskinned with smaller sprite. Numerous other adjustments to clothing.

-Tools are now used up after a certain number of uses. All have been buffed vs vanilla by at least 2x.

-Decay disabled for baskets and handcarts.

-Support for medicine-making, in addition to vanilla surgery system.

-Vanilla farming recipes/domestication of goose and pigs included.

- Signs and graves included. Roses and seed stratification system included.

- 81 keys and doors have been added for 2HOL keys. Use a steel file to cycle keys, and lock the pine door before installation.

- Camping stove should be working now. You can make stew there.

- Tons of miscellaneous improvements and suggestions implemented. Please give feedback in #suggestions and on Trello if you see an improvement that would be helpful to implement.

-The map has been wiped. After various attempts to save it, the time sunk has outweighed the benefit. This allows a clean slate for the massive update we are dropping, but I will commit to keeping this map alive as long as possible – even if it means missing out on vanilla updates.

    A huge thank you to everyone on the 2HOL team, and an even bigger thank you to the players. This is a hobby project run by people spanning the world, including an unprecedented level of community feedback into the mod. Most of the art you see was submitted by the players for the players. As the map matures, you will see the 2HOL custom items slowly blend with the vanilla world to create a special realm indeed.

I'm working on a PVP system with opt-in functionality.

It works like this:

1) Swords can wound people. Swords are heavy, and ice-cold.
2) Armor is warm. Armor is also heavy. Wearing armor with a sword equipped = neutral heat. Now you are efficient.
3) When you are wounded, you are forced by the game to hold a "wound" item. This is also really cold.
4) Wounds eventually kill you after a stagger/bleedout timer. I have made this functionally infinite for 2HOL.
5) Medicine can heal your wounds. Somebody else has to bring it to you, but you can heal yourself with it.

The end result is that the food bar becomes a health bar. Engaging in combat without proper gear will use up your food reserves quickly.

Engaging in combat without a dedicated person to feed you and carry medicine is ill-advised, as you are vulnerable when wounded.

Wounded players will eventually starve.

Being wounded while wearing armor slows your hunger rate significantly, now the medic has time to get to you after he heals the idiot without armor on.

Anyone who is not carrying a sword is faster than anyone carrying a sword. This allows people to escape PVP if they wish to flee. It also allows one side of a conflict to throw down their weapons and retreat.

I tested it today. It would be a vast improvement if vanilla adopted such a system.

The stream sends out an invisible "H2O Agent" to flow in a direction, and the sending tile needs a response within a certain time frame or it will attempt to route east or west around the perceived obstacle. So if a southbound water agent finds an open tile, it will spawn a proper stream tile (which will then send its own agent south). If the way is blocked, it will attempt east, then westbound water agents. If they find a path around the obstacle, a confirmation is sent to turn the southbound tile into an elbow tile.

This was tedious to make, and looks like shite right now (watercolor scans were a cool idea but the marker versions look much better). 2HOL's modding philosophy has always been to push the limits of the engine and the transition system itself - if this works reliably, we will use it as our blueprint for electricity.

Here's a visual breakdown: https://imgur.com/tgVIz99

This was fixed in a recent update for OHOL. 2HOL runs older versions of server code.

I did this for 2HOL, and we use the Space Station 13 method of getting drunk (drink too quickly/too much) and you are wasted.

Karma must be given. Someone says "thanks sammoh" and I get one karma.

Results so far of Mistery Mom update/test on 2HOL:

-Dads are pretty good moms.
-Eve spawning is almost completely impossible with so many eligible parents.
-A single family line took over the entire server at one point (3rd cousin 18 times removed etc).
-That family has since died and nobody has last names now.
-Some people have said this hurts RP. I'm not sure what that means, but I think they meant immersion.
-Some people have said this makes being a man annoying because you can't do projects (welcome to the pain of womanhood)
-City spawns are increased. You are more likely to be born into a thriving society than a random Eve in the wilderness.

I have considered enabling bad mothers to let people "cheat" into being an Eve, but I think this punishes people actually playing the game.
Testing continues....

Families as saved games is the coolest fucking thing I ever heard.

I hope this ends the argument amicably and we can all agree to go home to our husbands.

Try ln -s ../../dataVersionNumber.txt . inside the /OneLife_Live4_UnixSource/OneLife/server directory.

I presume it was you who cut down my tent.
I'll have you know they were meant to be cut down.
And it's already back up.
And I built a distillery in it.
And drank a beer to celebrate it.

So while it is a "griefer's paradise" the damage is limited by how simple some of the mechanics are.
Tents go right back up.
Silk is easy to clone and impossible to get rid of.

People wanted a sense of home, which is what I have given them.
They have named their towns, and return to them perennially.
Some people (like me) hang out in spawn and help the chaotic noob pit.

Others have built wonderful villages that thrive for weeks on end.
Some of these are closed communities that do not raise children or accept outsiders.

It's a matter of taste. I know the community is on you about griefing but it's really not an issue for us.
There will always be a place for people to gather at the center.
And there will always be distant bells ringing, calling you home.

I will definitely add the noble potato.

2HOL is a community-driven project.
It is an experiment in long term habitation
with an open art submission process.

It sharply diverges from OHOL in significant ways.
It is part nostalgia, part The Castle Doctrine.
A Methuselah story with room to trade and RP.
You cannot kill, but there is conflict.
Greed is punished by the gods.
Faith is rewarded with sandwiches.
The apocalypse is a bank teller.

Yesterday,  a walled village named Murica delivered an aid package of beer to the impoverished Eves in Spawn City to feed their children.

It is not a critique of Jason's work. It is a tribute.
