One Hour One Life Forums

I wouldn't be surprised if people started to create white-listed servers, possibly via source mods, if this ends up plagueing the game too much.
Especially if no good counter-strategies are found.

Also i think the "this is realistic" argument falls somewhat flat, simply because of the whole "one hour is one life" system.
It implies time is actually compressed, and people can essentially do "bad stuff" instantly that would otherwise take them hours or days to do, ie taking down structures or destroying wood floors.

In reality, people would not just stand idly by and watch some guy make a hole in the sidewalk for a few hours.

Settlements possibly changing their "face" over time due to rearrangement of buildings etc is one of the reasons i made this post a while ago.
Maybe it would be worth doing at least something similar in each larger settlement, even if it does not follow a special system of some kind.
Maybe an enclosed 3x3, 2x3, 4x4 or whatever area with a certian kind of "monument" inside would be enough for identification purposes.
And it would probably have to be enclosed so people don't destroy the monument for LULz easily, since they have to dismantle the surrounding wall first and hopefully someone notices and builds that back up.

Example :

Maybe the game could detect a death on farmland and place clothes on the nearest empty tile, similar to what happens when you pick up grave bones with a basket that have items on them.
This could of course lead to farmland deaths "spamming" tiles in the area.

Maybe it would help in that case if clothes could be gathered in a single tile in some kind of cloth pile, similar to graves.
Then a farmland death would only spread a single "pile of cloth" to the nearest free tile.

Confirmation, maybe :

I just changed the files back to not use a custom server, and the game updated itself after starting.

How about marking settlements with "code name buildings", made up for 3 or 4 Wall elements next to each other.
Since a wall segment can be Corner/Up/Down it offers 3 states per element.

Maybe such "name site" buildings could be made in a certain way to show that they are supposed to be the "name site" of a settlement, possibly with a short wall segment above them.

Examples : ( o is the corner element )

o----o

Maybe this could be extended to be "area codes" made up of just 3 elements. Or the other way around, be "city codes" 3 elements and "area codes" 4 elements.

Granted, it would take effort not to get name collisions with other places, hmm.

Something along those lines.
I hope this makes sense
