You've come very far graphicswise! And that is a huge deal! ..however minecraft can have servers with hundreds of players and hundreds of animals. How about that?

I understand your point, but I felt compelled to show also the side of the comminity that doesn't want it.

Not when I played it. I played solo and got a sizable castle with fenced in farm animals and it got unplayable.

 
Buildings are imposters. There is a modder we're working with a bit that is working on distant buildings updating to show destruction, but performance is a big concern, but it is a technical proof of concept.

If this is done, i will be really surprised...this is a very difficult task.

We know him?

 
Something of note to modders, we can now make new icons that have symbols overlaid on them, like in the top left corner. So if we make a schematic for an item we can overlay any of the UI symbols over them. So for gun parts, I might just overlay a gun part icon over the original ak47 icon. This saves atlas space and lets you build an icon. Useful for mods, gun parts, item archtypes, etc. Pretty cool.

Sounds good but will they still be separate Atlases? It is easy to add new icons but still difficult to add new symbols.

 
I get in that debate all the time. At least workstation mods are coming.

I would like to be able to power some work stations (mixer, saw) from electricity. That would be logical.

 
Players: OMG we need food spoilage nao!TFP: Sure. Your food will spoil.

Players: OMG this is horrible! All my food is just rotting away! We need working refrigerators nao!

TFP: Okay, have some refrigerators, gated by appropriate electrical engineering perks.

Players: OMG this is horrible! Intellect is now the only way to play the game!

TFP: Sigh. Fine. Everyone will be able to craft ice boxes that use up snow as fuel.

Players: OMG this is horrible! My map does not have a snow biome conveniently close! This is broken!

TFP: FINE. Everyone will be able to craft ice boxes that always work.

Players: Meh. Food is way too easy to manage. This sucks.

TFP: WTF guys?

This game needs to be defined by one word. Badass. All implementations of systems, graphics, and gameplay should be designed around this word. Players and developers alike should respect it and chant it in daily mantra.

 
Don't know if that speed bug faatal had mentioned was fixed or not, but players still can easily outrun zombies on nightmare speed settings. :(

This kind of kills the game in our co-op playthroughs because it makes one wonder "why barricade when you can just sprint a little" on e.g horde nights with nightmare speed.

The mixer should use gas and not be electric IMO. The saw is just decorative fluff so I wonder do we need to add complexity to people who simply want to decorate their base?

 
This post so makes me want a like button on the forums!

In the bottom left corner there's a star that says "add to this user's reputation". That's the closest thing we have to a like button.

Are you talking about level 1 noobs, or perked up 200 stamina rule number one cardio guys?

Are you fully armored?

What happens when you run out of stamina?
