You do have a point there, if the carnage that formed the path is the story, that's one thing. But it's not entirely that straightforward - if the story of the POI isn't "the making of the path", then lining up story events along the path actually shouldn't be "linear". A story can be told with...

Wasn't so when we started; still isn't wrt me.

Notice how I quoted just the floors part ;) For outdoors, yeah, some spawns will happen; but biome spawns are so few that it isn't a big deal to just let them. Later on add a couple turrets. On occasion I've used a plate floor to prevent "parking space" spawns, for the most part they'll line up...

You .. don't. A land claim blocks POI spawns, and biome spawns only spawn on terrain blocks (and hordes, presumably also screamers). No need to destroy a single wood block or a concrete block, no spawns on those within a claim.

It's not an impossible task, but it'd cost 50% more to add that third block into consideration. Now, that's not a direct impact, but in principle it could mean having to drop max_alive from the current 30 to 20.

Yeh, sounds about right. Single zeds don't crawl through a missing second block, but even two may push each other enough to nudge one through.

I don't think your question is answerable; the name isn't unique to a seed (there are many seeds that will result in the same name). And thus a seed can't be recovered from the name alone. (I may be wrong, but that's how I think it works...)

Heh, it isn't indeed. I used to make a basic base most entirely out of plates. A pretty standard "fence" setup, where all the fence plates would take up the interior block space, so I could use plates rotated 90 degrees to separate the zeds into their own little boxes (one zed per block). That...

Yeh, adding those wouldn't solve the draw of the quest loop; that's a separate discussion... From that point of view they would be a waste of space, but maybe the world needs some "decorated emptiness" too? Atm everything is either questable or completely ignored (tier zeros / ruins), so at...

I won't claim to have a complete answer, but there's something (tm) lost in the fully pathed POIs. Don't get me wrong, the "interior design" of the new ones is leaps ahead of the old empty houses; a massively better set of blocks and obviously designers who want to make the places feel real and...

Hey, you found the meta! Now apply it ;)

It is "things appearing in front of us"; hopefully better hidden than wandering hordes, loaded in with the world. People are hoping for plenty of varied things, like NPC encampments, animal herds grazing, maybe gyro crash sites ... whatever they can imagine. Nothing has really been promised...

Sure; it has 0.01 value on a select arbitrary scale. Infinitely more than complaining about it, though ;) Loop-de-loops thou...

Coming and offering feedback, however ill thought out it seems to you, is infinitely more valuable than coming here to complain about people who do...

The opinion that you find it funny; in response to a specific ... "vent of frustration"? What's that, metawhataboutism..? :)
