How to make OHOL more exciting?

99% of the time I quit before 60 due to boredom, I've tried making a great dynasty, or a religion, but they dont work, please tell me how to have more fun.

New content, hard recipes.
Towns that survive more than a few hours so you can see the progress, and the stuff you created in use.
Maybe a real hunting job


I'm Slinky and I hate it here.

- Start a building, a new pen, a new bakery etc.
- Do a specialzed job: hunter, baker, farmer, gatherer, paper, smith...
- Gather some stuff for later use: long shaft, wood, clay, kindling...
- Teach new people
- Explore
- Build roads
- Build a temple, garden, now you can even gather rabbits in a sector for your town and start a hatchery.


- I believe the term "Berrymuncher" is derogatory and therefore I shall use the term "Berrier" instead.

Hunt as many bears as you can in a life and do NOT use the 'stand on item' trick.  Make as many buckets as you can in a life.  Forge gold.  Make a camera.  Make an AM radio.  Make a radio telegraph.  Make an animal pen purely out of berry bushes.

People will smash new forge, I've seen they do so skip new blacksmith.

Dunno if exciting, but other options:

- make hospital with a looot of pads and stitches (it need to be near town center), be a doctor
- make workshop / storeroom
- form a gang with followers
- make a harem, I once made five crowns and have four wives lol
- be a bitch/asshole, make drama, work in pair with griefer (be a doublecrosser maybe), have affairs etc.
- make a house and live there / kidnapp bb there and raise as own
- be architect, make everything beautiful as much as u can (roses, good looking paths, coloured walls, trees, storage)
- make bearena
- be a firekeeper, assign jobs
- ill say breed dogs, but they are damn useless sad

I have done new smith several times, never had a problem. In fact most of the times I get help, you just need to do it quickly. Select an appropiate place too, if you move it ten screens away from the village nobody is going to be happy. Set up a floor for new klin bases, set up klin bases. Complete klins and move things with a cart. After you have moved everything it is unlikely to be returned provided that you really chose a better place.

Re: How to make OHOL more exciting?

Yes, probably you have to move everything to new forge, that's the part I didn't do in Rabbiton (and new forge was closer to fire!).

Anyways… I got question to everyone, what was yours most exciting life/lives in OHOL? When it's most exciting for you?

When I had finally trapped like 16+ mosquitoes in an old-temperature type jungle (temperature was almost dead center while naked... only slightly below the midpoint).

Rainbow dye would brighten everyone's day, only three colours to go! big_smile I love the recent rose and feather hat update and I'm happy dye has been fixed so now I can wear black wooly stuff!
I understand though that people want new high advanced tech to play with that probably takes longer to implement, like machines and more advanced vehicles, tools etc. I'd be happy with more cosmetic and/or high tech either way.

Re: How to make OHOL more exciting?

when we blocked the squitoes in sancal and in Bakers family, those were fun

I liked a few projects in the rift, but I wouldn't say I want to go back

most fun lives were when you could track  some graves from stdout so basically bell runs without a bell
we found a lot of towns 250-700 max 1000 away and was fun to escort a girl from place to place

now with tools and races the game is just way too slow and you get bumped to west all the time

if you got hetuw mode, you can always see the distance from bell and take a screenshot of it, then triangulate back to them
I don't like bell towns generally I like to help new growing towns and first life I create something then I go back from somewhere else as a different skin person, if I'm a male, then I bring a girl with me

making cow or pig pens can be fun, a separate pig pen and bowls nearby to cook them up, they are pretty decent food for the cost

making pillars with boxes to store some pies around the city

maybe go to bell town, find the closest active well and design a city there, you get the tools from bell town and advance fast, and have your own city design there

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