Minecraft's system is also designed to place a water block as a water source. That would look ugly in 7D2D. When you dump a bucket of 1 meter cubed water on the ground it should disperse and dissipate, not leave a 1 meter cubed block plus more than that on each side. The only time it should be possible to place a water block is in the Prefab editor just as a convenience method to have water in place at world gen.
Theoretically you can ignore a large number of blocks if they're already surrounded by water, you only have to calculate those which may move. A custom octree-style storage layer may be part of a solution?
7dtd used to do that. Many bases were flooded by griefers as a result.
I noticed this too, but I assumed that it was related to the "double-swing" bug - events are firing twice when they should be firing once (the swing event in one case, the "repair message" event in the other case).
I agree that in general the water system is in a perfectly workable condition.Those Minecraft water walls are pretty much the same thing the 7D water does.It already "works correctly".
Water spreads out horizontally and if there is air below it, it spreads into the air block.
When it hits a non-air block on the way down it spreads out again.
The only problem? It's an exponentially costly calculation in 3 dimensions. There is no bright idea to do that cheaply. If you want water to flow it needs to be calculated in an ever-changing block space.
If you don't want it to flow and then you dig into a river you are looking at a water wall.
As a result of that, the distance that water is allowed to flow is capped hard.
It's not difficult at all and it's not incompetence. It's just not free.
I'm pretty sure that's kind of intentional. It stops you cutting a hole in the side of a pond and eventually flooding several square kilometres of land. Kind of like the flooding of the Mediterranean sea if the Atlantic ocean was a swimming pool in someone's back yard.
Awesome. A17.3 is just a fraction of the "things we're taking into consideration' from the forums here. Imagine the full monte with loads of new content.you'd think everyone would stfu and play...
balancing comments (not negative) after reaching dawn day 2
stone axe continual use level one with no stamina perks at all. not running out of stamina with constant use ie digging straight down. time taken to repair axe is enough to restore stamina to wear the next axe out. i am fully fed and watered. appearance therefore is no penalty for infinite use. (which i like)
nerdpolling back up however takes stamina and therefore time you evil sods! lol
seem to be more zds in the world, in groups of 2,3,4? mini hordes?
rwg looks much improved. havent ventured far yet but found a perfect spot for base so that may be a while.
i play loot 200% no respawn but found 2 mining helmets on day 1 with very little looting. maybe lucky... havent been in a poi yet.
when upgrading wood frames, sometimes (~10%) first hit to 25% happens twice, meaning 5 hits to upgrade. muscle memory called it out initially as so many blocks didnt upgrade as expected. watching closely you can see first hit 25% second hit 25% then 50 75 done. bug?
whatever. after only 2 hrs, i think this build is the best yet! cant wait for a18 content!!!!
No, the point is that mm was frustrated about modding conversations, used boats as an example, and I pointed out that we had already seen a PoC on boats which is why we had it in our heads it was happening at some point. If it's not that's cool but we can only go by last info given.
I'm thinking it needs to be a single cube that instantly spreads to fill spaces, but the more it spreads the lower the height.Those Minecraft water walls are pretty much the same thing the 7D water does.It already "works correctly".

I think you answered that in your video. Clearly, those physics had some issues. I would welcome them back though without the ability to place a water block. Or maybe place a separate block that acts as the water does now and have a water world block that acts like the video.
Yes, that would be the perfect water. I'd love that.
Good point. Exhaustion of the flood fill can't be the reason though if I see a block missing in a lake because a zombie died in there. Essentially the missing block or blocks are 1 block away from LOTS of water blocks.
Food inflation already kills farming, and since you recognize this is not a good thing, this alone adds to the list of SBD's benefits. Because after the player stockpiles enormous amounts of food (which is easily done even with 25% loot settings), there is no reason to farm for food, hunt animals (other than getting bones), and the worst - a big percentage of loot (that is food related) becomes "trash" - whereas SBD would make canned food a valuable long duration resource.
