One Hour One Life Forums

I made paths of cut trees, one connected network of it, 3 to 4 k long total length (with some forks). its mostly a diagonal line, from sw to ne, and it exists roughly 200-400 nw of the bell tower with radios. (i wanted it to go trought he war bell tower, but my angle was off, so it misses 300 northeast of it)
a straight 2 to 3 k long diiagonal line of cut trees exists there.
on foot, you age 30 ish years, walking the full length of it?

its norteastern tail is long and goes pretty much nowhere special, a few ruins and good city-founding spots here and there. i just had the life and the axes to use up there, and knew that my angle was off, so i just kept goind  straight instead of making something with more patterns to it.
just know, that (mostly) north of the bell town is a long line of cut trees, that may confuse everyone who approaches the bell town FROM north or west.

its sw end has another horizontal (!) branching-path, roughly ADDITIONAL 1.4 klong. that shorter segment is one week older, and has now many cities spawned along it, and the cut wood decayed long ago, mostly replaced by stone tile roads and cities.
these paths tend to be replaced with sparse stone floor tiles, just because that lasts a bit longer and makes for more distinguishing features.
both of its ends (west and east) are famous ruins, over one k apart, that most people have long forgotten.

i cut trees in a straight line, completely using up roughly 12 steel axe heads in total, over a time of 5 hours and roughly six MALE lifes over a 1 week time span. only making 3 steel axes at once, if a city can easily afford it to be done (or if its a ruin full of steel). (okay, the fiurst attemt at this started with 12 steel axes being made in one ruin, transported east with a cart, slowly, nope, this doesnt work well, i died of old age, and some lucky guy found a cart with 9 steel axe heads in them, and kept chopping on, without me whitnessing it.
it just needs a backpack full of steel axe heads to be feasible to make such a path efficiently.
when making these paths, i make food sources (mostlsy bananas, cactus) safer to access, by making snakes and mosquitos much more visible.
near long such a path, much more cactus gets plucked selflessly, making deserts a lot safer.
when making these paths, i often end up with a vendetta against a whole smaller jungle biome, or a large part of it, till I cut all its trees.

if you just walk nw for roughly 2k from ANY most recent eve-spawn location (less useful with the new ranking buff for longlivety?) , you may likely meet that path, because currently most eves simply spawn se of that path of cut trees, as far as i could tell. I found my path 3 times, twice ass eve, and once as girl, exploring better places with another girl, just by wwalking nw ffor a while, there you find remains of others, that met it before you, mostly decayed cloth and knifes, alongside or while approaching the path.
these paths make exploring much saver, in desert and jungle especially.
these paths have shown to be seeding the creation of long lasting settlements alongside the path, usually within less than 100 distance to the path. (you can not get lost as easily in a city near the path, you can delay making an axe near a 3k long path of cut trees.
these paths may grow so long, you may just die off old age while exploring alongside them, without ever seeing someone else alife.
therefore, these paths may have many carts and horsecarts close to them.

after reincarnation, i sometimes walk along the path (looting nearby trasures), see two people at one of my graves, typing "the tree cutter died here", you can tell by the fancier clothing that i keep losing and picking up along the path slightly more than others (backpacks full of decaying socks). I guess thats my secred identity now.

i like the irony, that there existed a note that reads "make rope, not war", but it is a "bloddy note". and it got bloddy, when hostiles fron south approached, that got easily defended against, by just making four swords.

the "no narcs allowed" rule simplifies to "excessive knifes are for traitors", so, if you see excessive knifes being made, just deal with that person like with a traitor.

in a warzone, all knifes must be hidden far from towns, for the safety of everyone. because there, reincarnation creates silly vengeance traitors.

ohol seems to have an unwritten rule for many, to never go further aweay than 200 tile from city center.
200 usually the influence radius, where you find chopped trees, skinned rabits, stolen war swords, roaming bears, no matter how old a or alife a city is or was.
i discovered many ruins and the 200 tile radis rule seems pretty universal. most people just get homesick beyong a 200 tile boundary.
its also the distance at wiuth newbie explores most likely starve or die by mosquitos, so you find a lot of rags and wasted food there, if not a few stolen knifes.

seriously, just chop trees exactly in a 200 tile radius around a city, especially north of it, youll be surprised how many hidden thief stashes you find at EXACTLY that distance.
they are not thiefes for being smart or hard to predict.

smarter but still somewhat greedy eves usually like to build a refuge-castle avbout 200 to 300 south of almost every city, where they hide and lock away clothes and one of each tool.

murder mouth is completely harmless, while you have between 15 and 25 jums, you can easily avoid any conflict in favor of accumulating more dexterity/jum, and/or just hunt anyone else till that person starves to death.
sadly i missed the murder mouth mass murdering, mostly caused by a hostile foreigner. i just was not at the camp at that time. instead i brought 24 rare jums to the base, that failed to eat and defend itself, for no good reason.

I more likely /die as boy than girl.
I like revitalizing struggling towns, but thats simpler as girl.

once my mom as bringing home a basket, i was born and greeted with "you are worth more than that iron" "you are worth" was a neat name

I sometimes catch a horse around age 11, because horse hunting and jum hunting go well together around gen 5, but sometimes an unlucky baby gets born too soon while still bring a horse home up to threehundred far, and i name my baby "youre notahorse".
This usually ends in baby suicide, but some babies may just make it home with me.

---

I have given birth to babies, while hunting bears near base for furs and safety, a common gen3 issue, and i often hunt two bears at once, only to sfe some time. Such babies are named "youre fine", and they get sooo scared. cmon its just two bears right next to you at age 0. i kill them while feeding you, just watch me. oh fun times.

---

I have dropped off babies in the bonfire, unlikely to return in time to feed them, iff its worth the risk. and that is often the case as far as i could tell.

---

I have knifed my own daughters and twins to death en masse, but thats just some rare whack roleplay scenarios, usually within an utterly hopeless area, not for farming endstones, just being a suicidal cult for a while.
this only makes sense in hopeless areas, it safes time not trying anything there, and making that choice for others.

if i hear a bell, and im an eve, or born to an eve that died early or has no skills tor locale to achieve much, i go for the bell, 2k far on foot, while roughly at age 18.
the is a decent chance to find good stuff on the way, other (young) eves (this is always akward fun), knifes, cloth, carts, ruins. but even if not, its worth a try, on foot.
BUT babies just slow down the travel too much, and they most likely waste half of a minute of your time till they suicide.
This means, i let my first 4 babies starve, after naming them "you are doomed", but I bring with me the baby that gets born within 500 distance to a bell. This happens roughly at age 33.

if i find a good base spot on my way, that behavior gets aborted, in favor of establishing something immobile, even if that only gets me a needle and thread.
no need to let babies die near a good spot.

ohol does not have the level of detail of dwarf fortress, that accounts for single teeth toes and fingers, where limbs can be lost and replaced by cruthes.
where wrafs can lose both hands, and lode the ability to so many professions by being mostly armless.

ohol does not need to have that level of detail, it is intentionally in shorter intervals and more abstracted.

some slavery, arbiter, hegenomy or humanSacrifice rp often goes too far.
and im not talking about the "begalomaniac makes a knife at age 8 and trhinks he can dictate any bullshit (against common interests) and get away with many murders for no good reasons, common events.

once i saw a village with high popuilation, surrounded by property fence for no good reason, except to disencourage exploreers (which somehow works, cause peoiple are dumb enough within a false sense of security), no gates around the outside (was mostly a defensive wall), BUT ALL HORSES where locked in, once more to disencourage exploration.
i managed to make a saddle, get one hoorse, and role palyed as the guy on the horse who repeated stuff like "you are herded like cattle in here"

the town was a decent town, very functional, but i simply disliked it, for not being free and for not being migrant.

trapping someone in a small enclosure is way too easy in ohol, so it is done a lot.

i name my kids nonsense, that doesnt have a match in the name list, but that makes sensae in context to what happens or matters in the game.
if theres an urgent event in the area right now, if some people are migrative or exploring, if base has low food, if i am just hunting jummy foods, if i am just smithing or sheering sheep, if i have bery high jums, of the town lacks food variety, if the town somehow only lacks pants (this is relevant and funny),m of the town has a thing for human sacrifice ot genocide or war babies.

profane names are always fun to shtow at the list of real names.

funniest rl story on kids names is when they introduced a condom brand in a high populated asian country, and the brandname was a common human name of the area. that nem then went out of use for human names, because somehow no mother wanted to name his child after a famous condom brand.

the main pont here is, swapping tools less often saves time, due to longer intervals, and less zigzagging.

long straight lines of stakes have you klick the same spot on your screen (after the 5th stake, while zoomed in fery close) and this is just very fast tool use.
the above is less relevant with the most recent update, where stakes now need less klicks for a road, but its still true, many stakes are useful many times.

no morty, your method is the common but slow version of building a road, because it is a slower rythm. even with 2 players, where tools are not dropped, its still slower (per person) than just placing a lot of stakes first (multiples of 4 ideally). yours not the slowest, but clearly slower, than just placing many stakes first, something bettween 8 and 40 stakes.
its cute to place stones atop of the place where you want to build a road, but also much slower doing so. it shows intent a bit earlier, and thats the useful thing here, conflict evasion, but thats about it. its slower.
stakes are easily transported and made, even before age 12.
stakes are quickly transported between any ends of the road network.
with a common cart, you just right klick 8 times and swap 4 stones with 4 stakes, and move the stakes in the cart, usually over a road that you just made longer. this is just way faster, mostly because it swaps tools a lot less often.

theres simple orders of operations first.
excess stakes end up as kindling.
many stakes sure only make sense if theres enough branches for them and other branch items, which is easily scoutable and knowable.
i only do ling stake lines if:
- theres enogh wild berries nearby (hunger just wastes time) (roadbuilding usually is a low-jum-score thing, you rarely reach 6 jums. even with fast carts)
- theres enough branches far away from the base (those are my stakes first, base conflict evading)
- theres flat stones in biomes nearby (no sense in planning a long road, when getting stones for them takes too long)
- theres something worthwhile to connect a road to. (not making a road for a roads sake)

taking stones from a forge can saves time for everyone, iff the road is near the forge, and if and only if the forge temporarily lacks iron AND steleel or any need to forge anthing (all tools exist at least twice), and if you can quickly refill the stones to the forge after having taken them. (which many people by then easily notice, i bring stones to the road, u use stones aloing the road, this may be stones from anywhere, including forge, papermakers, and cooks, only while they are inactive, for whatever reason.

this was the sutuation wherever i did use flat stones from the forge, to make a road or paper.
but you're on dumb ego trips right now, calling me a troll. thats cute dumb.

i dont need your disapproval or approval, because i sometimes do awesome/original/novel things ingame, far from trolli, grief, or being ewastefull within the game, then reveal my identity, and the reply is generally just "wooha".

i have the same problem with cutting a lot of trees, or making a lot of kindling. so many murders for daring to try to swap tools less often and gender is irrelevant, they are just on a dumb power trip, as soon as they have aweapon, they want to dominate.

i love when i get to use more than one saw oon more than one buttlog at once, my record is 5 saws on five buttlogs, and one mallet.
i love when i manage to bond with another player bnefore age three, and get the two of us to cooperate in making planks or building a road.

if you see who babies say "ja" a lot (or any two letter key phrase with the purpose to bave a bond and to find the other person), one of them is likely me, the other one i sure hope to be a stereamer, [james bond] was once his avatar.
i dare to test this, its roughly a one (to three) in hundred chance, that people anonymously anr dandomly meet agaiin days later, and the [birthday paradoox] is not to be undertestimated here, and so far it worked once more; i met [james bond] (or at least someone else who knew the spiel) again, and he had a tragic death.
