One Hour One Life Forums

I think you're forgetting that Jason is more concerned with gate-keeping what is considered a "real game" than making his content accessible or fun. This is the guy who called Minecraft's creative mode a "toy" and didn't even want to put a tutorial in this game to begin with. I'm sure he'd argue that having the option of single player or an Easy Mode would ruin the integrity of the game by some arbitrary definition.

That said, as a moderately experienced player, I'd STILL want this option available. Not because the game is too hard for me these days, but just because sometimes I want a more laid back experience. As many vets have said, it's annoying to always be forced into whichever role is most necessary for town survival rather than being able to choose what you'd have fun doing in a given life.

Anyway, point is this is a good idea!

I'm all for this. I feel like the spirit of the update is fine and dandy, but the way it's been implemented is less-than-ideal to say the least. We need changes like this one or the one that 13jonathandavid suggested in the original update post's comments.

Buffing Natives' abilities per biome while nerfing Non-Natives' is FAR more realistic (if that's what Jason is trying to emulate with this game), and also just way more enjoyable than magically losing function in your arm/hand muscles when your toe crosses the desert border.

Well, we all know Jason is going to make this change regardless of what his player base thinks of it, but fuck it, I'm still tossing my hat into the "This Update is a HORRIBLE Idea" ring.

Every update has been Jason saying "This update will force players to change how they play!" And then everyone does things almost exactly the same  as always, but now it's just slightly more annoying to do it. Nobody trades, despite that being the goal of most other updates. Nobody communicates, despite that being the purpose of the tool slot update. And as many have already said, nobody is going to start trading after this biome specialization update.

Personally, I prefer the multi-family towns. Especially during the Rift, because it generally made it harder to grief a family out of existence and end the world. So, I don't see it as a problem that this update will lead to a bunch of different families living in one big mega-city. However, the fact that this seems inevitable just says to me that the update is pointless at best.

But, ya know. Jason knows best, I guess. Considering input from players beyond minor tweaks would be pandering. And we wouldn't want this game to end up like Minecraft; perish the thought!

Absolutely love this idea! I've always felt like the mushrooms are severely underutilized. Especially as an avid (cooking) mushroom enthusiast IRL.

One thing that is kind of frustrating is when I use a tool and it immediately breaks without accomplishing anything but still counts as "learning" it. It's kind of fun, though, to imagine someone shattering a tool into the ground and being like "Ah yes, of course. I understand now."

In a more advanced town with multiples of most tools, it's not really that big of a deal, but when you break a shovel on a lump of poop and there are no smiths or spare shovels around, you're just kinda fucked. Especially if you already committed a chunk of your tool slots to farming or baking, so you can't even smith your own replacement shovel.

Yeah, I've only had this game a couple months, but I DEFINITELY feel like there's been a pretty steep decline in cooperation since the tools update.

I get that it's a work in progress, but I hope the lack-of-cooperation solution can be worked out another way because I honestly hate the limited tools. A lot.

I should start doing this. I've always known that it's more efficient to breast feed for as long as possible, but it just didn't seem like something most people were doing and I generally just go with the flow.

Definitely makes more sense to just keep breast feeding when possible, especially if there's a baby boom and you can't get anything done anyway without having to drop it and go clothe Baby #7.

Same. I was at like 43-ish and then dropped all the way down to 7. Yikes.
