I really miss plains not strictly as a biom but rather as a vast open area which brought to the game more variety of terrain. Honestly I dont see any problem with having all the resources in every biom either. Some resources could have be more abundant in certain bioms and in other far less. Ore might have been extracted from deeper ground or have additional extracting bonuses based on each biom. Players wouldn`t be strictly dependant/bound by a given zone and some sort of progression and perks when it comes exploration might be saved also.

But to answer: Developer got the rights to the Console Part back not long ago after Telltale screwed up. But they stated before any work will go into Consoles, Game will go Gold first. If my brain serves correctly, PS4/Xbox One Versions are being abondened and instead they will port to PS5 and Series X
Good luck with this bud. I agree with you - plains of old were leaps ahead of anything currently. To see them get excited about desert mesas last ngiht when the original plains had them everywhere and looks great is humoring.

The plains were also the best place to make a base, since they had a lot of even terrain and it was clear of trees. I truly never understood why they removed it.
Someone already mentioned and of course been ignored... and i really feel like the developers are a bit of...not so cool... for doing that, thats just my opinion tho.
->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FIX THE DAMN GAME BREAKING BUGS.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-
1. The game is like out nearly a decade and i still keep spawning on wrong beds (specially in bloodmoon) <- Complete game breaking for ANY pvp server as it discovers other peoples bases or even allows you to raid your way out of theyr base, or even if you die, you get to know the location...
2. Vehicles keep teleporting away and duplicate (also with full inventory) <- Complete game breaking for ANY server, because people just duplicate a full inventory of dynamite, rockets or anything else they need... of course this is even worse for pvp servers.
3. Being able to push yourself under the ground with plant pots (or other blocks) and look where peoples base is <- Complete game breaking for ANY pvp server.
These are just 3 of the REALLY GAME BREAKING bugs i quickly remembered that propably have already made a hundred of thousands of players quit your game, well perhabs milions as this game apparently sold 10milion or more times....
Fancy looking @%$# wont fix the issues, it will only temporary attract a few new peoples that ultimately will quit because theres still these bugs that make people lose hundreds of houres of theyr work into what they build, gather... etc.
Also, with removing of the UMA stuff, i suppose serverside vehicles, zombies, etc will all be history.... and thats what keeps me playing currently.
I am the owner of a PVP Server and had on the last map till its wipe arround 6000 profiles of players that played, arround 1000 times ive propably been asked by new people questions regarding these game breaking bugs, if i could fix it etc... my early answers usualy been "Well, the devs propably gonna fix it at some point", but to be honest, after person 500 and alot of time passing... i propably only gave answers like "Well 7days is @%$# coded" as i cant honestly answer to a person with fake or unknown infos anymore.
This is just my opinion and currently nothing is convincing me that the gold version will have the game breaking bugs gone.
Sorry if anyone feels offended, but seriously... how are such game breaking bugs not TOP priority for the next Alphas?

Memory, space used up, redundancy, etc. I'm sure that they were wanting to cut back on biomes that don't have any real distinguishing features. It was pretty similar to the desert, minus all of the trees. I do miss it and the forest though.
I'm sorry, did they say they weren't fixing any bugs? Bugs are ALWAYS their priority, right next to optimizations. I'm pretty sure that they said part of A20 is going to be a polish and quality of life update similar to A18. If you have bugs, don't report them here. Report them in the bug reporting thread, with a detailed post. Also, don't act as a spokesperson for people who may or may not have quit the game because of bugs. If they did, well, they should have realized that this game is in Alpha and it will have bugs.

Made you would not be ignored if you post in the right forum.
Also your aggressive way does not open you doors.

You see these complaints in every game. If a developer is working on art or content, it means they arent working on optimizations or fixes. Big derp. Multiple things can be done at once, ya know with a development team.
Its true the game has been in development for a long time. but look how far its come since 2013, its almost unrecognizable. So theres been alot of work done in those years and it runs better than it ever has.

If you name a game "early access", it does not mean game-breaking bugs can or should be ignored for near a decade.
I dont need a door to open, also literally the only post also mentioning the issues was ignored, neither is this the wrong forum, i want those issues adressed for A20 or even better today and not deal with this every damn day, it isnt even for myself, it is for the players that play the game, - and on my server mainly important, im the admin and can fix issues without help.... so im not speaking for me, im only starting after months of hosting getting frustrated that theres comin updates rather frequently meanwhile, but still not do any about it, instead we get new content or content removed... but the problems stay.
I dont care about bugs that dont cost players hundreds of houres as a result, but when they do, they are game-breaking and should be adressed immediately.
Its been years now, sorry but im starting to get literally old and losing my hair, how long do i need to wait to have these real issues adressed finaly?
Before A18 the bugs existed too, so i dont really wanna talk about how much value i give to updates that dont fix the issue(s).
And at anyone saying "early access", "Alpha" and takes this after years as a reason to cut talk about it off is simple not long enough arround and protecting the devs of the game they love, which is normal, but doesnt help anyone. I love the game too and thats why i posted, i could spend my time better, hell, i couldve played 7 days instead.

How is the game unrecognizable? I still have the first bug that made me literally quit atleast a year or two in the game, which is basicly that minibikes (back then the only vehicle) keepd disapearing.... which was quite game-breaking considering the time it took to collect all minibike parts with decent tier quality. Meanwhile the issue still exist, but for all vehicles and additionaly we got as a flawed attempt to fix the disapering a "vehicle manager" that is broken and still makes vehicles disapear, or which is quite worse, duplicate the vehicle.
Last time i tryd to pick up my bike i had to do this 12 times and had to clean my inventory of all the duped bikes....
I give you the point that it runs better than it ever has, but back when i was playing the first time i was convinced it was my laptop not being optimal for such game.
Meanwhile i got a good computer and it runs for example games like GTA online in highest graphics with 120 fps.... so we also have here alot of space still, dont we? Of course comparing it to a top game might be harsh, allthough... they sold millions of copys meanwhile too and maybe should stop hiding behind the words alpha or early access, which i found a rather furstrating trend, btw.

I'm surprised no one mentioned that the second dev diary happened yesterday on Twitch.

Yes, something is wrong with that stuff. Somehow performance also takes a hit when switching to real assets. Overall performance of the game should improve quite a bit with the new Unity 2020.2 update, and hopefully we will se it in the game by summer 2021. Those artifacts should also improve in speed when new optimizations are in.Games'n'Grumble said:

Faatal said this about Unity: "We are moving to Unity LTS releases, so A20 should be on 2019.4. We won't try 2020 LTS until after A20.x in second half of next year."
