One Hour One Life Forums

I love the new update - it made me return to the game after a few weeks. However, after you cook dozen of shrimps and make ton of fries you start to wonder... you wonder if the activities you just took help the village. I mean, why don't we just make more mutton pies?
I am pretty sure that if a village had only veterans/smart and experienced players who know the food math, the lineage could get almost immortal - but that comes with some of the rules that it should follow. One of them would be making specific foods - only ones that matter. I am talking about mutton pies (and maybe stew).

Like, shieeeeeet man, they are so op:
- they are a bypass product of composting
- they are very efficient as a food
- they are easy to make, just a few easy steps, without posibillity of failure (like burning rabbits f.e.)

Considering all this, we all come to the conclusion that the mutton pies should be nerfed. A lot.
To my mind come some of the options:
- Make them really unefficient as a food - I am thinking about taking the hunger value waaaay down (like 4-5 pips per bite) with also reducing the amount of uses (3 instead of 4 per plate)
- Make some extra steps on cooking, for example: you need to salt the meat before you can use it as a crust (that's the first thing that came to my head xD be free to make your own ideas)
- Reduce the amount of meat one butchered sheep produces

These pies are just too op. It brakes the game - we have so many different foods and still, we are stuck with these if we want to survive longer than idk, 10 gens...
I hope Jason has thought of that, either. What's the point in having potatoes in game if we aren't gonna use them?

Also, I was thinking about a good buff to pigs, connected to nerfing sheep. We have so many uses for sheep while pigs just stand there, useless. How about a crazy idea, where the pigs produce dung instead of sheep? This should also put some more use on pork (how about porkchops or jerky?), but simultaneously making it not too efficient or we hit square one, with one food kind overwhelmnin others xD

These are just some of my thoughts, what do you guys think?

Today I got murdered for kidnapping kids in a town that had it's laws written on paper. No. VI clearly said pedophilia was allowed in that place! I want to bring a lawsuit: me vs town folk.

But for real this time, I think that written laws are cool roleplay and I would be glad to see people actually obey them. It could give more spirit and variety to the villages. Don't think it'd be possible to make everyone roleplay like this though. Any ideas?

Or is it coming?

Recently, there have been several threads about types of players that you meet in the game. Pretty amusing I must say.

I'd like to talk about one particular type that just grinds my gears - the TRYHARD
I mean, I know how it feels to get pissed in the game, oh I do... but you still have to remember it is A FUCKING GAME about drawn nude starving children. People tend to bitch about:

- role-playing - for example: yelling at other players that are just chatting for not working
- small mistakes like watering carrots or digging one goddamn grave ("Ur WaStiNG ShOVeL HURR")
- children eating something else than berries/popcorn
- generally eating fucking anything besides stew or pies by adults

And don't get me wrong - I KNOW that these activities may lower the efficiency of town development, but for the love of god - I just hate when someone gets pissed about planting one potato in a huge town, that has everything set up, has food everywhere, has huge ammount of iron and wood - LIKE IT MADE A DIFFERENCE

There is also another thing, which might be a bit controversial, but I just hate when people get obsessed like this even when someone commits huge crime like murder or stealing. I witnessed examples of players that can spend their entire one hour for chasing that one dude who killed some random kid or took their stuff. Also, they curse, convince others to curse, convince their FUCKING NEWBORN BABIES to curse when they get older.

Please, calm the fuck down, and maybe I will, too xD

I adress this to all players that tend to loose their temper about things I mentioned before: always have that little reminder in the back of your head that this is just a game. Also, always think about the thing you are about to bitch about - "is it really that bad?" "Did it just ruin your town or your plans?"

Try to fucking talk with people, even with murderes - maybe offer them a chance of redemption or fair trial, I don't know. A bit of role-play can't hurt and maybe it can erase some of the toxicity.

Huh, I just caught myself on bitching about someone bitching constantly, funny...

Remember the house in the OHOL trailer? I think we should have some resources to get a bit closer to it.

Since the temperature overhaul update buildings have gotten more significant meaning, but when you look at the update history it is one of the least developed branches of civilization in the game. We need to have more ways to get houses. Cheaper ways. Of course adobe is quite common way to set buildings up, but IMO it looks a bit primitive. One can argue that it can be plastered and painted now, however nobody ever does it on much bigger scale than a few walls/one building.

What I'm trying to say is that we need a cheap way to set up buildings as the village/town advances. We have the motivation now - the temperature, now we just need the recources that are not so easy to get in an Eve camp, but easly affordable in big towns. I am not sure how to do that, but I have a few ideas what we could use to build walls and set up big towns:

- BRICKS; everyone would love to have a house made of bricks. There was a thread posted not long ago about new ovens/fireplaces for maintaining heat in a more efficient way - we could use bricks made of clay not only to build walls but also fireplaces.

- CONCRETE; we could use a mix of clay, sand and water in a special tool to make it - the ancient Romans already had it so why can't we?

- BEAMS; as in the trailer, we could make beams out of yew shafts (and give them more use) to make staging for walls that can later be filled with boards to make walls which can be painted later with different colours. This one could pretty much solve the issue with advanced builings not be accesable for early game camps and easly affordable for advanced civs. Also we could use iron nails to attach them to each other.

There are just my ideas. You can post your ideas and opinions here
