One Hour One Life Forums

Jason is there anything keeping you from making doors automatic? From either a programmer or a philosophical standpoint? If not, just do it. If yes I would like to know what it is. Look, we finally have buildings. Is it really a good idea to make using buildings infinitely more tedious by having annoying door closing/opening mechanisms?

Regardless of everything else I want to take a moment to say that I really appreciate your increased presence on the forums, Jason. Not sure how much it interferes with your work schedule but it's nice to see you interact more with the community.

I hate extended baby tours. I get that it's supposed to be helpful but it often just seems like excessive roleplaying. You can tell babies, berries are left, stew farm is right or something like that. No need for a two minute tour imo.

The best mom I ever had were all moms that were actually working while raising me and not just standing around.

Guys stop feeding the troll already.

Yes you are misremembering the temp bar. Here is old on top and new below it (for naked in neutral biome)

You can check this yourself by looking at streamer/YT videos from before the update or old screenshots.

My thought is people should stop making all these complaining forum posts and let players adapt for at least a few days before calling for more changes.

So much love

Sounds like you killed a dirty berry muncher. Other people wasted their own time reacting to it. They weren't willing to stop eating berries but were fine killing others punishing them for it. It's the usual OHOL story. Killing dirty berry munchers is a useful project and you probably  saved the town hundreds of food worth by doing it. After playing for hundreds of hours I got no sympathy for dirty berry munchers, excessive RP and the like. But the majority of people will tell you that you did wrong.

I do hope you did some useful things for town tho, killing dirty berry munchers only is not enough to keep legacy going I'm afraid. But it's a start.

I love the table idea, I thought for a while we need something like a food court as an alternative to the berry farm where we can put different food options and have it in a central part of town so people can hang around there instead of berry farms.

Just nerfing berries will not change things for people that literally don't know anything else. You could probably make berries have 1 pip and they would still eat them and plant them, in all likelihood they would plant even more to make up for the lack of nutrition.

Yes there is a huge power imbalance between worse and better players and griefers that are better players have an easy time tearing down what any numbers of players built.
Regardless of whether that's part of any vision or not it significantly impacts players ability to enjoy the game in a negative way. Smart griefers don't go to donkey town all the time, people might not even know who's screwing with them in the background while their town dies.
Curses haven't been a sufficient griefer deterrent in a while now, the number of griefers vs. the number of available curses just doesn't work out.
Becoming a better Eve will do nothing to protect you from griefers, some like trolling big towns, some small ones. Eve camps are an especially easy target due to their vulnerability.
As for the other issues, I mostly agree with OP but I have no hopes that Jason will change any of this. He will never implement the mod and he doesn't want us to be able to 'pick' our life circumstances. And he cannot really change much about the nocturnal infertility due to player base drop.

So pushing for a change in curse mechanics/the way griefers are handled is imo the only thing that has somewhat of a chance to be successful and I'm even skeptical about that tbh... just my 2 cents.

I kind of feel I got enough input/feedback by now to understand why newbies play in eve camps and I will take some things into consideration in the future. So thanks everyone for giving their views, it did make me realize some things.

Other than that all I got left to say is: posting several times in a row is something I see as very bad form in forums. There is an edit button. Please use it. This goes especially to Spoonwood, who I have seen posting as much as three times in a row in some threads. Cheers.

Like it or not, this thread is actually helpful in understanding griefers, at least for me. This guy does what he does anyway, he only chooses to explain it to us. It's not like he would grief less if this thread didn't exist. You can hate what he does, but the game ultimately allows him to play like this and he's just pointing it out to us. That's my take on it.
