#1 Re: Main Forum » Building huge roads after the last update » 2019-03-22 14:10:38
It’s really impressive to see that this town is still alive, holly moly!
They have a lot of iron now, both towns. I saw the berry outpost, really nice, with some bowls, some wooden boxes and a fence to put your horse while you eat some berries. Also, I see a woman stopping there and full setting her child with clothes that were in one of the boxes. She waited there until the girl grownup, I was putting soil on a berry bush that I ate.
There is a huge south road too, it’s the same size of the north one, but it’s not completed, leads to the middle of a bad land faraway (1,1k away from the most north town), next time I born there, I’ll try to make an outpost too or may be I can add a sheep pen to the outpost that is already settled, there are a ton of big rocks there, itwill help to make compost and may be one day someone can make pies there, it would be a good pitstop.

Any suggestions for placing placebo items on roads to make it safe to run on?
Since seeds cannot be used on floor since it decays... rabbit bones would be useful, but the bones will decay later on, just needles would remain.
Just in case that I'll have to make roads as well.
I think needle is the fastest, cheapest and it’s less likely to be removed, by cooking one rabbit you can create infinite bones.
I saw some oven base near jungles, it’s also a cheap choice to protect with oven base. Another cheap option is protection with horizontal fences, because people can use it to park horses.

If a mother doesn’t name a child until five years (I guess), this kid can be named without being on someone’s arms, but they loses the last name, so if they name their children, they won’t have a last name as well.
You can’t give you a last name if you weren’t named.
And also, a family can have different last names, I was in a town where my cousin’s last name was Betance, my other cousin was Omega and my last name was Omega, it happens because if someone name a unrelated baby, they will get the namer’s last name.
It happened in the town with a huge road that connect two bell towns.

I once saw an ancient stone building in the center of a town with mosquitos inside, it was 1x1 and had no door. I tip my hat to whoever pulled that off probably saved a ton of lives.
I lived there too, they tried to put a wall around the small jungle as well, south of the village, it was small but there were about twelve mosquitoes.

More context: In a 4th gen camp I say from the start that my life goal is to remove the middle row from a 7x6 patch of berries. There is a well on this row so it would be perfect to make more work space.
I empty the bushes and feed sheep and make compost. I make a steak, I get the water ready. I have a shovel but I just can't click fast enough to remove a single bush. My daughter starts to help me when my nephew says "no don't remove them" and takes my steak and hides it. he can't understand why I want to do it. He proceeds to put soil on the bushes I want to remove undoing all of my work. Now I have to wait a long time for the bushes to get berries and pick them all again.
I guess he thought I was up to no good but I felt like crying because I was so close to getting it done. Other people in the village agreed with my project or didn't care. One jerk undid it all.
How do any of you remove a bush on your own? Why is it so darn hard? I did manage to remove just one after watering them all again and picking them clean with the help of another more sensible nephew.
IDK if someone is trying to do something and being open about it's probably not greifing. You don't have to help but it's a dick move to undo someone else's work.
Haha, I was in this town, you got killed by a domestic boar that a guy put on pen and I that guy was your nephew, but I’m not sure, your daughter was killed by that boar as well and I was too old to have children, I think there were one fertile left, but I couldn’t find her. I think this town died because of that stupid boar.

It's your fair view to disregard "shameless clones" but even if the original author reserves all rights, no public domain or OpenSource License or anything, legally the is nothing wrong with copying a "game idea". Ideas is not copyright, it would be patents. And as far I know you cannot patent a "game idea" and I heavily oppose anybody suggesting so.
So many games have been the mother of a whole generation, putting this idea forward would heavily impede the game industry and harm public as a whole. If Doom wouldn't have """shameless copied""" the idea of Wolfenstein 3D and nobody would have copied the idea of Doom, we wouldn't have *any* FPS, hundreds of thousands of games nowadays.
And as Jason rightly said, nothing is ever truly original. We always base our ideas on ideas before us. And always somebody comes and complains this might be too similar to that and a "shameless ripp-off".
This notion is not helpful, neither for humanity at large nor of the discussion that had been going on here.
Copying the idea is not shameful.
Shameful is copying the whole game and sell it for the half of the price.
#7 Re: Main Forum » Macros for quick communication » 2019-03-18 06:57:44
logically people make camps, the town should be the place for the veterans, and noobs should move out and make their own outpost
that will never happen cause noobs are noobs for the sole reason of not knowing that what they do is bad, annoys others
if they would know it and they would want to learn they wouldn't be noobs in the first place
I totally disagree. For me, it’s not logical. Noobs moving from towns wasting wild resources and dying is not a logical thing for me. Noobs should play near veterans, in a town or in a camp. Today I had a newbie girl, I taught her how to bake because our baker was very and she learnt. If I sent her to the wild, she would waste wild resources to make tools and have children there as well. Being noob means being inexperienced, and a lot of noobs don’t annoy others and do bad things more than experienced ones do.
If a person knows they are doing something bad due to the inexperience and want to learn, that person still is a noob, if someone teaches that person, they’ll be less noob. Knowing you are noob doesn’t make you a non-noob and it’s not reason for sending you out of the town to live by yourself consuming nearby wild resources and having children there. For me, it’s not logical.
The noob will learn how to live in a town, learn how to do bake/cook and that person will learn how to live in a camp, taking seeds, starting a fire and etc. if that noob stays near a veteran, they’ll learn a lot more. Unless they are griefers, but it’s not related to be noob, since a lot of veterans are griefers as well.

Yes, but I was there about four days ago, it’s strange because I recognized s lot of thinks on the way, but it’s like town was removed from the map.

I don’t know if I understood it well, but I would like to give my opinion.
If he created something and someone want to copy it, Jason has the right to accept or not or put any condition he wants, since he created that.
The game doesn’t have an official version, but probably it was in his plans, just doesn’t have time enough to make it now, so if someone want to do that using his intelectual
product, that person should agree with conditions (try to negotiate as well) or doesn’t do that.
If someone doesn’t want to agree, that person could make an inspired game, a brand new, but the same idea, it would be great to see a similar game.
But the unnoficial game is cheaper than the official one, but it’s usinng all hard work that Jason had for years. And if he will do a official version, he will get much less downloads, so I think the person who made the unnoficial one should accept any terms, tries to negotiate, but in my humble opinion, they don’t any rights.
For instance, I love to play Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu on my Nintendo Switch, if I decided to make a port for Android/iOS, have to accept Nintendo Terms, even if they want 99,99% of the revenue or don’t make the port. Even if I worked hard or not, I do not have rights, and if my port is cheaper than the original one, people might buy me version instead of the original one and it will drecrease the revenue of who really worked hard to make the game.
I’m sorry for my English and if I understood it wrong, it’s just my opinion.
#10 Re: Main Forum » I Organized and Launched Three Attacks from "Double Plaster Room City" » 2019-03-18 02:29:28
It reminds me a life that I lived last month. I was born in a small camp, without steel tools, small farm, but lot of people. I went on a iron mission and found a great camp, with sheeps, a lot of pies and steel. But they were the same family tree. I started stealing a hoe and brought back, I told to my people that I stole. My uncle was very upset, but my mother and my sister decided to go with me and bring more stuff, we stole the knives, pies and steel.
We started to steal girls as well, but two women realized and followed us and tried to bring pies back, but my mother stabbed her, the other woman ran back.
Our village was going very well, my sister decided to steal some needle and ball of thread, because we had a lot of rabbits, but she never came back, I decided to go investigate and saw her bones with fresh blood. A man with a bow and arrow saw me and hunted me, I ran back. The man ended up shooting my uncle, but my mother killed the man.
After some years, my mother stole a cart with plenty of balls of thread and she died of old age. When I was about fifty, a woman came with a bow and arrow and tried to shoot me, I took another bow and arrow and managed to shoot her first, but the kids were very confused, because we all were the same family, so they decided to don’t feed me, I died before the woman.
A lot of deaths, but it was a funny life, it’s very rare to have interactions between cities.
And since trade is meanless, the only ways two cities can interact are raiding or exchanging people if they are not from the same family.
I hope one day, we will have some very advanced tools, clothes and food, so the trade would be more meanfull if cities have different especializations. Like a city that produce very advanced clothes and other city that produce industrial food.
It reminds me The Walking Dead, where the interactions between towns was mostly based on raids, but In the HQ after they got established, about four cities started to trade route (Fish, weapon and ammo, radios, farming tools/engines and etc). Well in the real life it happened a lot as well, raids, slaves and etc.

I tried /Ill + /yoohoo and my mother tried to put me on a snake, I managed to run and my aunt fed me, my mother shooted my aunt, some years after she shooted me.
#12 Re: Main Forum » Free range sheep » 2019-03-18 01:47:17
People say free sheeps eat carrots. I’ve never seen that, but it might be true.
Anyway, I always domesticate sheeps without having a pen in young civilizations, to make compost ASAP. But I can’t see a reason for free sheeps in advanced civilizations.
#13 Re: Main Forum » New griefer weapon: Graves » 2019-03-18 00:28:54
I was able to domesticate a horse and ride it. Died before I could add the cart, though, so I couldn't test if it was possible to do it without putting the horse back on the fence and getting it stuck.
I found a horse with cart free, but I was unable to ride it anyway.
But horses without still can be domesticated and put/removed from fences.
#14 Re: Main Forum » Me and other eight eves spawned in a huge town » 2019-03-17 15:29:58
There was a bell tower town 7K tiles away this town, straight north. I know it’s straight north, because once, before the update and before the bell was built, I head a bell from that city, took a horse and went there.
Now I did the same, I bring a horse (since we can’t use horses with a cart), and went north, 7,1k away, I was able to see my trails, I wanted to trigger the bell there since the town was dead, but I couldn’t find the city, it’s like it disappeared. Does Jason wipe big towns or I just mistaken the path?
#15 Re: Main Forum » New griefer weapon: Graves » 2019-03-17 15:18:45
They don’t even need to make keys and locks now, just need to removed the door using a flint chip and then putting a grave. At least we can build pens made of graves.
Also, Jason travelled yesterday if I’m not mistaken, so it won’t be fixed soon.
#16 Re: Main Forum » New griefer weapon: Graves » 2019-03-17 15:12:52
Yes, I was born inside a kitchen but someone removed the doors and put graves, my mother told me that my uncle was getting iron to make a pickaxe, but all of us died inside the kitchen and looking my family tree I realized that my uncle was killed by a snake.
#17 Re: Main Forum » What I *wish* lineage showed... » 2019-03-16 05:07:24
Lineage is one of the really cool parts of the game. Very rare that I think about any game that I play after I play it. Not so with OHOL. I don't understand why it shows me the times I was a high-generation descendent though. That is kind of interesting, but what I really want to know is of my characters which one had the most generations following her.
Perhaps this is just a hard query to run? but, to me it's always exciting when the family tree keeps going for many generations after I played. I like to try to understand what happened to the town from the last words.
Also, a possible suggestion: what if we could append links to screenshots and very short comments to a family tree that others in the line could see. I could link to the post I made here about the "little bakery" and others might just post a screen shot of something memorable. Make it just a little multi-media.
Maybe use the forum ID system to cut down on the potential for moderation issues.
OK here is a funny photo of an old person showing off how many letters they can use https://i.imgur.com/nZIpgtI.jpg
I totally agree. Once I suggested on reddit for a picture of the place of death when we click on someone on family tree. It would be great being able to see how the town developed, what were people talking and etc.
#18 Re: Main Forum » Once upon a jail » 2019-03-16 04:50:26
Interesting - any idea what generation that was?
I'm curious if we were in town at the same time. I didn't spend much time in the garden, but I did see a few griefers get killed during my life and I was working on paths in the berry patch.
I was generation 46.
#19 Re: Main Forum » I’m going to see how much KILLS I CAN GET! in 3 lifetimes. » 2019-03-15 12:15:35
LOL It’s was bloodbath, now I know why you “create” long lineages, you kill everyone in other villages, so they can spawn there. I’ve never seen someone killing that much on a single life, I think there is a serial killer here.
#20 Re: Main Forum » Once upon a jail » 2019-03-15 11:58:09
I was in this town too, but before the trees in the shrine got cut down. I hope they were replanted. What an amazing life!
The shrine was lovely. I also remember the north building with the jagged wall, we used it for burritos and I taught a man how to make them in game, (we moved the operation to the field near the bean plants which was a great idea on his part.)
I loved reading this. You should use the img tag so the images show up in the post!
https://i.imgur.com/3KxXoEI.jpg
Such a lovely town. I think I came back and saw the pine doors in another life. You are a hero.
Alas, the town died and they didn’t replant the trees. Hopefully someone will find it one day. This week I was born in a town that I lived like one month ago, I thought it was wiped, but someone found it. So may be, someone will find it and we will recognize it.
And about the images, I was afraid of wasting data of who opens the topic. Next time will put the tag.
#21 Re: Main Forum » Once upon a jail » 2019-03-15 11:52:46
Oh hey, I was in this town a few generations before you were born. I remember the tree shrine. It really was quite beautiful. My name was Georgette Painter and I was in Gen 45.
I spent the last years of my life adding wooden paths through the large berry patch so future generations would be able to pick and tend the berries more easily. Sadly, I wasn't able to finish the last road because one of the bushes I was trying to remove got tended by someone who didn't realize what I was trying to accomplish. I'm happy to see that the young man who offered to finish my road followed through and made the stone path near that horse cart on the left-hand side of the berry patch.
There was another building in town that had been griefed by a door-locker before I was born. All four doors were locked and a wall was broken. You can see it to the upper right from the bakery. No one used that building. Not sure what it was - maybe the nursery? It was pretty much empty inside. During my life, the bakery had three unlocked doors and one door that had a lock on it already. I considered removing the other doors to discourage more door locking, but I hoped that people wouldn't be so terrible twice in the same town. I guess that was wishful thinking. Maybe the locked doors gave someone the same bad idea or maybe the same griefer came back to finish his work. The layout of that town was pretty bad and it had too many kilns all over the place - probably constructed by griefer(s) so they could make locks without people noticing. I wish I had followed through with my idea to fix the doors, but then again, I doubt that would have stopped BB Painter from doing something terrible to the town.
The majority of my life was uneventful, but it was not my favorite town. The awkward layout and obvious signs of griefing were depressing and made me feel paranoid. I even made myself a knife, because I had the feeling I might need it eventually. I rarely do that, but I found a blade blank lying on the ground and I didn't want to see it made into more locks. In hindsight, I probably should have made shears instead.
Unfortunately, my life ended on a sour note. In my old age, I was approached by one of my grand-daughters. She asked if I would be dying soon (always a good sign) and then wanted to know if she could have my knife (even better sign) so she could kill sheep. I was two minutes away from 60, so I gave her the knife and hoped I was making the right choice. A minute and a half later, I heard a scream. Followed it over to find my knife sticking out of a random person. My last words were "That is not a sheep."
I think that town might have been cursed. But don't those wooden paths look nice?
Haha lol. The city was bad, but a lot of drama happened there. Sadly it died 2 generations after me. Terra (borned inside the jail), was the last fertile girl.
When I was trying to make a pine door, I saw a second town in construction, probably more people were annoyed with the layout and griefing signs.
And also, I saw you on the family tree, I was wandering why you said “It’s not a sheep”, I imagined someone was trying to shear a goat. But it was even worse.

A user posted about no one posting histories, so I decided to do that.
But, my English is so so, there’ll be some grammar issues.
I was born in a locked kitchen, there was blood everywhere, a lot of bones, knives and a ton of pies. I was trying to figure out what was happening...
My name was Ginger Painter, daughter of Hana Painter. My sisters Rebeca and Fathia were locked as well together my aunt. BB Painter, a devious man locked them years ago, Rebeca was born inside the jail, she was very depressive, but our mother gave her a crown.
Rebeca told me some rules: Old people die, boys die due to save food. Only eat when really needed.
It sounded good, because we didn’t know how much time we would be locked, the food wouldn’t last forever. My aunt just gave up and decided to stop eating, she starved. My mother got old, then Rebeca said: If you eat you dead.
Rebeca had a knife and my mother understood the reasons... died.
So it was just me and my sisters, we thought they forgot about us or even worse, BB Painter could had killed everyone outside.
When I was fourteen, my first child borned, Hope (Her nickname on forum is Hedge). Fathia has a girl as well, the little Locke.
Rebeca was getting depressive again, because she had no kid. Then she stabbed Fathia and stole her kid. I was a little bit afraid, but the town was running low on girls, so I decided to don’t kill Rebeca... yet.
Nancy, my outside-sister, was hunting BB Painter to see if he had the keys. She tried for dozen of years, without success.
Alas, my daughter Hope died of an unknown reason (She tried to reborn outside to make keys). The time was running really fast and the little Locke was already a grown woman. Rebeca got really old and refuses to die, she was thriating us with a knife. But we were running out of food and no one was making keys, so I did what I had to do.
After that, I got a really beautiful crown. BB Painter his the horse and took a bow and arrow to try to kill Nancy, but she’s stabbed him. Nancy and BB Painter were very old, but at least she revenged us and he couldn’t hid his loot.
BB Painter was a kind of demon, I think he is Toxic, but I am not sure. He stole the horse, hid weapons, locked us and destroyed the altar. There was a beautiful altar, with lot of trees around, flowers and bonsais.
Twelve years after, no keys... Nancy died of old age and most of people outside didn’t know about us. I was very old, forty seven years. Locked asked me to don’t leave her. I was afraid she would gave up, so I stayed. She had a pretty girl, Terra. The third generation inside the jail, but our food would last eight years more or less. But we were helpful, because a little girl called Apple told us she was making the keys. (It was Hedge, my first daughter).
One year after, the 60th anniversary of the jail, sixty years after BB Painter locked my family, Apple broke free, She really made the key and opened the door, I couldn’t believe. She freed two fertile girls and me, a old useless woman...
I was too old and weak, didn’t know the area outside the jail, but I decided to make something useful. Pine doors. People can’t lock them, so it’s harder to griefer. They can remover them and put a wooden door instead and lock it, but it’s harder because people are more likely to see. The recipe is easy, four tied long shaft, put them together, then add one rope and then pine. It’s very expensive, five ropes, but if you have a lot of those doors, people are less likely to lock the building.
I was almost dying, very very far from home, I tried to make the door ASAP and runto put it on the building, when I arrived, I was fifty nine, gave Apple my crown, she more than deserved the crown. Removed the door, put stakes, round stones and finally pine...
Wall, it was a pine wall, I wasted five ropes and forgot to put a short shaft, and worse, I locked people inside the building. I was too old to make something about it, I decided to choose good final words to show BB Painter we were free. Apple was making more keys, and there were three pies left in the jail, so probably the girl broke free.
Thank you Hedge (Hope/Apple), you doubled fertile girls on the town, possible saved it.

#24 Re: Main Forum » Mosquitoes... » 2019-03-14 10:10:23
A repelent would be great.
But I disagree on nerfing mosquitoes.
I mean, in the real life, yellow fever is deadly if people don’t have medicine. The brother of my mother, was stung when he was in Amazon, Brazil. And he got very bad, didn’t recognize anyone, even his wife. He died about 20 years after, but has never recovered, stayed lie on a bed most of his life, even nowadays when the humanity has high tech medicine.
But now imagine a primitive civilization, it’s harder to handle with mosquitoes, and the game tries to simulate real civilizations. But even primitive civilizations were able to make repelents, so it would be a good thing on the game as well.
The texture is fine, you can’t see mosquitoes easily in real life, so it’s fair.

Nice !
I wonder how many tutorial areas are there? Just one for each server? Or many?
If there are many are they far from each other?
Can we find this place by doing the tutorial?
There a lot of them in the same server. More than one hundred, and they are really near from each other, about 10 seconds walking. I think each time someone start the tutorial, a tutorial area is spawned, because there were more than one hundred tutorial areas, I couldn’t count all of them. And we were 10 million tiles away from the bell town, so it’s really far. The tutorial’s walls do decay, so my village had a ton of adobe, they built a really fency shaped sheep pen, huge. It was yesterday, probably they’re alive.
