Thank you, pein, very cool!
Seems like we might be better off just using a channel on the OHOL discord server.
Sounds like a plan! I'll try to make it and will post it when I do.
Sorry for not giving updates on this regularly, but I'm so glad there is so much interest! I hope you all are subscribed to this topic because I'm going to start doing polling; this is a Democratic alliance anyways. So the first issue: should we be capitalist of communist? Meaning, should we just forget any possession of materials and fencing around anything as Daddy Diesels (what we have basically been doing), or should we be capitalist and fence in important things for us like the forges, oil rigs, parts of engines, etc?
I personally vote for capitalism. If we can fence in an area specifically designed for engine building and other facilities of Daddy Diesels, we can prevent people wandering in, taking things, and just being an overall annoyance. We can pass on ownership to other daddy diesels and have a colony of the Democratic Alliance of Daddy Diesels Younited.
Capitalism does have its drawbacks, of course. Building properties could be viewed as an unnecessary distraction from the main goal, and there may not be an adequate person to transition ownership to.
So let the discussion and democracy begin! Tell me and all your fellow Daddy Diesels what you think about this conundrum. Also, if anyone knows if we can somehow get a poll on this forum, please let me know!
Your post inspired me to try to make an oil rig for the first time.
Congrats! I suppose you're a member now.
Also, the full name of the group is technically River's Militia's Democratic Alliance of Daddy Diesels Younited (DADDY). If you want to know why, you can learn more here, but it does not have anything to do with One Hour One Life. It is just something else that I founded if you want to be part of it too: https://sites.google.com/view/riversmilitia/home
Have a knack for making engines? Do you know the ins and outs of the multipurpose Newcomen and its accessories? Does reaching the technological limits of this game fascinate you? If so, this is just the place for you! Welcome to the Democratic Alliance of Daddy Diesels Younited (DADDY)*
Here, on our part of the forum, us technologically oriented players, whom I call Daddy Diesels can finally unite and prosper as one! We can coordinate our actions to reach the tech limit faster, and Daddies can build upon the work of other Daddies. Let me ask you, have you worked extremely hard in your playthrough working at the forge/Newcomen and have made great progress towards the tech limit, but did not achieve it? Of course, this would be the case many times, as there is only so much you can achieve in one hour. You hope that someone else with your sort of passion and knowledge of end-game tech can pick up where you started, but what really are the chances? Now you don't have to feel this isolation. Here, we can coordinate our movements, inform others of our progress, learn from each other, and ultimately reach that glorious point together.
I am going to make a discord server along with this forum page as the main medium of communication that we will be using. Before you spawn into a life, check the latest activity in the discord server to see what others have accomplished in their lives, and what to look for so that you can continue their work. If you are searching for a specific village referenced by other Daddies, take into account the key defining features of that village referenced and keep /die-ing until a match. However, there is always an option to spawn in blind to a village and access your surroundings.
If you decide to intentionally look for villages with progress or not, you must always consider what situation you are in and what are your goals. I have included rankings/levels that I think we should use to define our jobs based on what level of tech the Daddy is working at in his life.
Level 1: Father Forge: If there is not yet a forge in the village (this would be close to the start of the village), make one. (also if there is a forge in the village but a lack of iron and it looks fairly new with low tech) Delegate to others to get iron ore and start making all the tools for the village. If possible, make the wrought iron parts of an atmospheric core.
Level 2: Nana Newcomen: Make Newcomen Atmospheric Devices or continue construction of them for your village if you see that the village does not have one, it does not look new, and has sufficient iron supply. Since you will need rubber, you could delegate this job to another player (Rubber Runner) or do it yourself, but delegation is key. Make the first Newcomen as a pump, as to help the whole village survive, and make your second the multi-purpose Newcomen near the forge. Hopefully, you will have time to make the roller accessory and pully for bore and lathe.
Level 3: Papa Petroleum: If you see that the multipurpose Newcomen has all of its accessories (specifically the roller and bore), then get to work making two steel pipes and finding oil. Make the Newcomen on the tarry spot and collect the crude oil. Make a fractional distiller as well and start the kerosene production!! Here are some links to help: https://onehouronelife.gamepedia.com/Oil_Rig https://onehouronelife.gamepedia.com/Fr … _Distiller
Level 4: Daddy Diesel!! If you know that your city has an oil rid, enough iron, and a multipurpose Newcomen engine, get to work buddy! Making a Diesel engine can be tough, so here is a link to help you https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4821 If you complete the engine, you might want to use it as a pump, or you could make a car or plane. However, this will only likely happen if you delegate jobs to others and coordinate things
Level 5: Car King: If you have an engine, why not make a car?
Level 6: Father of Flight: This requires quite a bit more effort than just the engine, and likely require you being dedicated to the loom and others complete the engine if not finished.
Level ?: We will see
When you finish your life, you could post something on this page or the discord server that tells what rank you worked in, what you accomplished, and information for other Daddies so they can find the village you were in.
This Alliance is Democratic, so we will work together as a community to further create norms and guidelines. Please send feedback to me and tell me what you think. Also, try to spread the Allieance to other people.
Thank you, Jason, very cool.
Your universal message code might work, but we need to incorporate activating the belltower in the city that needs the goods. Maybe activating the belltower is implied once someone's asking for it, but what if both cities need resources? Who has the rights to get the resources first? The contactor or the contacted?
Your comment has not gone unnoticed; it is very interesting.
Its the end of the world everyone; the servers are closed for maintenance! This probably won't be relevant when your reading this, but the servers are in fact shut down at the time of writing my comment.
