Where you replace the X's at the end with your token.

The easiest thing for you do to is to connect to one of the lower populated servers.

Jason hosts 15 servers, but usually, only server1 and server2 have people in them.

Here are the steps:
- In the "settings" folder, where the game is installed, edit "useCustomServer.ini". It should have a 0, change it to 1.
- In that same folder, edit "customServerAddress.ini" and change it to one of the high numbered server, like "server11.onehouronelife.com"
- Play the game, and you should be by yourself as an Eve.

Whenever you're ready to play with everyone else again, just set "useCustomServer.ini" back to 0.

Here's a link to the knife wound on onetech: https://onetech.info/797-Knife-Wound

The knife wound needs to be cleaned with a sterile pad, then stitched up with needle and thread. The hog cut is the same way.

Snake bite requires anti-venom. It's involved, so I suggest looking it up on onetech.

A regular bite wound just requires needle and thread.

Arrow wound requires taking out the arrowhead with a sterile knife. Then clean with pad and stitch it up.

Same here, or else I'd sign up.

The boar and pig are stuff Jason is working on right now, but hasn't released yet.

It should probably only report what has been released, to minimize confusion like this.

The wound went away?

Did you do anything specific?

+1 to this idea. I think a tutorial/tip on death would be helpful, as well.

It is my opinion that the first time user experience in this game is "sink or swim". You have to learn a lot up front, and you're learning it in a stressful environment. You're struggling against hunger, while at the same time figuring out the controls, what objects do, how to combine things to make different things.

Some suggestions:
- provide a graphical option to the recipe book. When I was starting out, I didn't know what a "long straight shaft" was, and had pretty much no way of finding out. Possible control scheme: hover over the recipe to see the graphic.
- limit the number of recipes players are exposed to in their first X lives. There are 40+ transitions for the sharp stone, which is a lot considering it's basically the first thing you make. Basic recipes for the first X lives, then expand once they've lived a little bit.
- matchmaking: people want to play with people at their skill level. A 100+ hour player is not going to be entertained by giving birth to a 2 hour player. Certain advanced players I've seen never stop to talk or teach, but they're very effective workers.
HOWEVER, newbies learn by playing with better people. I'm saying that people should play with people around their skill level. At my current level, I'm happy to teach smithing & pies to someone, but I'm not as excited to teach someone how to dig up burdock or make a fire.

Some of these are definitely against the spirit of the game, but I want them to serve as food for thought.

Other advice:
- You're asking the forum about how to prevent players bouncing off the FTUE, when most of the forum goers are invested enough to follow the forum and see what you have to say. Most people posting here are not the people who left after 1 hour.
You could make a simple survey/feedback sheet, and send it out to players who left. Don't send it to everyone, and don't send it to people who are still playing/logged lots of hours before they stopped playing. Probably don't say "hey, I noticed you stopped playing, why did you do that?" It's important you don't appear defensive or apprehensive, just a light "what'd you think" type form would suffice.

A criticism:
- While I think onetech.info is helpful, a player shouldn't be expected to look at an outside tool just to be a basic productive worker in society. The eager players will seek out crafting sites, but the casual player shouldn't be SOL without doing the same.

I don't think this is true. Is this just misinformation?

Are you talking about the occasional 1-3 players around server12? Those are players who intentionally connect there with customerServerAddress, because they want to play with specific people.

Hey, I was the smith in that settlement. I made all the tools from smithing hammer -> knife (to kill the snake, which had actually racked up quite the K/D).

It had some management issues when I was born into it. There were like 3/4 broken stone hoes, and there was someone trying to forge, but I think there was a young boy screwing it up. When I was a baby, there was a lady who kept saying things like "don't do that" and "omg you're so stupid".

Once I was old enough, I saw that she wasn't tending the forge anymore, so I assumed the role.

I died at 56 trying to kill the snake. Pathfinding ran me right into it. I was bummed, because I thought that would've been a cool final act.

I took a look for you. You can find the calculation in lineageLimit.cpp

If the number of logged in players is greater than or equal to 50, then it is 3 hours.

If the number is in the range (10, 50), then it is 3 * (numberOfPlayers - 10) / 40

If the number is less than or equal to 10, then the lineage ban is ignored.

"Bonus" as in the first time you eat it, you are filled to max + X beyond your hunger bar?

Or is it that you are filled the regular amount (3 for berry, for example), but you get to wait longer to eat?

I don't know what the specific goal here. Is it that all crops & recipes are made on a regular basis?

If that's the case, then I think that is an unrealistic design goal.
Look at any game that has content updates, and you'll find craftables/items/cards that aren't made/used/played regularly. A lot of time goes into content, but unfortunately some of it will be neglected.

Re-examining taste:
I believe simulating taste will encourage players to grow at least two different crops, but the meta could easily develop to "always corn and carrots". Recipes that involve those two crops will likely be made, but you could easily imagine other crops and recipes being neglected.

Other thoughts:
I think it's worth mentioning that many people neglect balanced diets, even today, when it's at its easiest achieve. Historically, Asian countries had a diet that was comprised of mostly fish and rice, the Irish lots of potatoes and bread.

Berry pie likely isn't made because of how important berries are for compost. As the only renewable way to get soil, I believe that outstrips the pie benefit.

At the end of the day, you can't make the players themselves hungry or get tried of certain foods. I think simulating taste is a step in the right direction, but I'm not convinced it's enough on its own.
