How often do you live to 60?

Made it 6 games in a row, if you ignore having connection problems where it started messing up as soon as i was born.

actually 5 without even that.


yet, no matter how many kids survive my family lines die like crazy, and of starvation.



I am just on a winning streak, because I often die from animals, but it is not that GD hard to not starve in this game, why do so many of the kids i raise old enough to take care of themselves starve?


[granted, i had the annoyance of 4 60 minute male games in a row.]


I'll tell you what I tell all my children: Make basket, always carry food.

Re: How often do you live to 60?

every time i want to
i quit on some games, not because i couldn't survive, but because would be a boring grind between noobs who wont appreciate it anyway
there are some situations when you underestimate cold, don't find any food. and sometimes i mess up and eat too late/lag kills me at old age when i run trough ice and too busy planning, but i mostly keep my eyes on food bar
overall im last person on any camp, even during famine, and only my kids survive the food shortages cause i warn them in time
i had streaks of weeks even almost a month that i didn't died on accident
my first time when i was playing with discord group players, surprised me how often they die

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

Re: How often do you live to 60?

Its not hard to live to 60.  Of course only if lag isnt an issue. Usually i leave town when i hit 6-8 bars left and just run away so noone has to move my bones.

With how few lives i play nowadays i am generally picky about who i play with if people are generally rude i just die and go where i am appreciated.


Be kind, generous, and work together my potatoes.

Re: How often do you live to 60?

the last game I died of yellow fever at 25 cause it said a "home" was 4.7 k away and i couldn't resist running there. No cool spots around to wait out the ever, it killed me rapidly lol. I was quite interested in what was over there, and had just found human artifacts after running through a bunch of stuff which was just spawning.

Re: How often do you live to 60?

I don't actively shoot to hit sixty anymore. Since there's no real reason to work until sixty I'll kill myself at 58/59 if I don't have a yum chain to continue working for the last two minutes. Between twinning to get back to places and not being a real reward for doing it it's sort of a waste to do it atm.

People usually starve because they take nearby food for granted, and then when there's a famine they don't know what to do because they haven't explored outside the camp so they don't know where to find food. Also it's easier for women to starve because having babies really drains your food meter. Most of my young deaths are animal-based but sometimes when you're young food has to be close as a guarantee, and if your town is going through a rough patch and it's not, you will almost certainly die.

Re: How often do you live to 60?

i've for sure accidentally died of starvation, like all of us, and been lucky to avoid it many times. But I also make sure I know where food is, spend a lot of time outside of town, and don't rely on food when I get home.

That one has definitely got me in the past, coming back with a full basket of whatever non food item to find the town has had a food crisis


The MAIN thing i tell newbs is "always carry food". When you're a child just have a damn gooseberry in your hand.


it's frustrating cause pretty much no matter what I do my families don't make it many generations. I even had two daughters make it to their 30s and it didn't make it but one or two generations past them.

Im very often at the end of long lines, like i'm some sort of touch of death, which is ridiculous because I'm a damn work horse most of the time and i keep all my BBs. [though the honor family has lived on, but my line of it only survived gen 13-18)

yesterday, i would have thought I saved a village in my last game, because I was running around frantically trying to make compost, i think a griefer was feeding my bowls of berry carrot to the sheep just to be shitty cause then someone stabbed all of them. But i at least got the compost going again, the damn town was in a soil crisis and no one cared. fortunately someone was smithing and made me a shovel and i had a competent daughter. still, society didn't survive much after me for some reason.
