Any texture in the game that isn't part of the available selection. Look at any object in the game, it needs a texture, not every texture is available. Take the gas barrels for example, the red ones, they are simple cylindrical shapes with a texture. That texture isn't available to you as a...

Bit confused by that comment, as it's obvious we don't so I guess I must be misunderstanding what you mean by that. In terms of memory concerns, the problem being none of us have visibility over the code base, and have no idea of the actual restrictions and/or whether the current use of that...

What we need is the evolution of the paint textures similar to that of the building blocks. Previously you were limited in the shape types you could have, now you've got 100s available to you. They never needed to add more, they just needed to provide access to shapes that already existed in...

I understand how the devs could reach that point, but it's really frustrating. It makes me think the 1.0 push was specifically just to get the game out on console rather than them tying up all the loose ends. There seems to be many little inconsistencies, nothing game breaking, and overall the...

While I appreciate why that would be the case, as it stops sock-puppet accounts and random flaming, but in this circumstance I hope there is a bit of wiggle room as you can see the justification for two accounts. If it's a hard and fast limit by the mods then I'll just pass the BC account over...

* bump * Any movement on this. The problem remains in v1.2 (stable) The bug report doesn't look like it's been touched since it was initially posted (I appreciate that time/resources are limited but an indication of whether a bug is being looked at - or will be looked at in the future - would...

Is there any way to configure the F7 keybind to hide the crosshair first, then the UI? I am aware of mods that remove the crosshair, and they tend to work for the most part, but it involves lining the item up with its sight and it can be a bit hit and miss with some weapons. For example, late...

Getting back to the meat of the question, I think if TFP were to code a sequel from scratch, and it all depends on how sprawling and messy the code base has gotten over the years, then you might as well include the VR functionality from the start. So it's part of the base build, not requiring...

We are not going to agree here, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. Thank you, though, for taking my comments in good grace. As a mod, I am obviously aware of the power imbalance here, and it is to your credit you didn't spit the dummy and just ban me for countering your points, especially...

The reason it fails the "sniff test" is because that's not what is happening and it is not what I meant with the phrase. Companies will not refuse to sell you stuff, it is the developers who lock the entire game, or key mechanics, into the VR environment, that are gatekeeping. Just to be very...

Fine, but that's an entirely subjective view, anecdotal only to you. My point is both objective and evidential. You mention Spotify and Amazon, not only do I use neither of these companies - for a multitude of reasons, not just data mining - but they are poor analogues for this comparison. If...

There is a reason Meta headsets are cheap, and you've not hinted at it so either it's not an issue for you or you are unaware of it. In short, if you use a Meta Quest, you must be online all the time, you must have a meta account, and you must log into that meta account whenever you want to use...

I think a lot of this is down to the game engine. Voxel worlds come with their own sorts of problems regarding efficiency and speed, it really depends if TFP can achieve what they want from a sequel while also coming under the overhead of the code base, then I can't see any reason why they would...

I don't know for sure, but I would expect it to appear in the Steam sales. It has done so in the past, and honestly for a game that is over a decade old (yes, it's changed drastically over that time) I'm not sure you can reasonably charge full price - at least on Windows, consoles is a...

Could people do me a favour and sanity check this please? I want to raise a bug but need to make sure I'm not being an idiot here (..there is a high chance!). Thanks in advance... :) For reference, this is the most recent stable branch build, version 1.1 b14 and this bug is relevant for all...
