Yeah, I do. I'm attempting to program a script that calculates the speed of an unladen swallow, but I keep hitting an infinite loop of NULL returns :(
Oh, you meant in the game...

First of all it is an infinite loop of NICHT returns. Return with a shrubbery and I'll give you the secret.

Secondly....are we talking African or European swallows?

 
I can't place a block in the middle there, at any height or depth. Has anyone else experienced this? Help Wanted.

You rolled a natural 1. Forget what you saw-- it was a hard miss.
Anyone else have technical coding related questions while faatal is away doing whatever meaningless stuff he does when he isn't posting?

Haha, Silly me, and here I was all along thinking I rolled a 20 using an ethereal arrow against some form of new ethereal zombie species.

What happens when you try to place a block there? Does it not let you, or does it place the block but it gets destroyed?

Edit: Oh nvm I see the red outline, u cant place it, idk then

Oh, silly me. Will a

Code: 
 return Shrubbery

And to answer your question, what difference does it make?!

Ah Monty Python &lt;3

It doesn't let me place anything there. There's a 1x1 by 5 block area where I can't place anything. (For reference, look at the 2nd image above.) It really sucks because that is where my wall was going to go. :/

 
I concur. Roland would never troll anyone. It's a common misconception to mistake Roland for the other guy - Trolland. That guy all he does it troll. Not Roland, though. In fact, I purposively died on a horde night just to harvest hubcap mines with a wrench, and I now have exactly 1337 landmines to get revenge.

All this talk of hubcap harvesting is ridiculous.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Everybody knows you need to stand on the landmine and whilst the pressure plate is still depressed you then have your friend quickly use HIS wrench on it AND ONLY THEN.

Your friend needs to wrench it really fast though, so its a good idea if they are standing very close to avoid any untimely events that could become a hindrance to your (and possibly their) health.

I've noticed in some rare times it seems like I hit an invisible ... tiny block... in the world. Try destroying the terrain block and replacing it?

I tried that. (And it's 5 blocks tall.) Everything just floats around it.

Ah duh. Makes sense. Pushing the trigger pin down enables the wrench-slot to open, allowing one to wrench the slot which discombobulates the zamboniator, disarming the mine. US Army 101 for disarming landmines.

Maybe turn off physics for a moment and try? perhaps run memclear (or memcl) and the... stability checker from console? mayhaps the dev terrain removal or add tool will help. They're in the CM window (click the building thingy icon for the dev section) and try one of those tools.

Def add this to a bug report in the bug section tho, I've noticed these invisible blocks but never could pinpoint them.

Turning off physics worked. Thank you so much. :D

 
What did Madmole say that he was going to do with biomes in Alpha 19?
Click to expand...
He didn't. He merely stated that for now we have the biome configuration that we have with random rotation and that they would be further developing RWG and biomes in A19. No details. I'm sure he'll elaborate when that thread opens.

 
Madmole already said they will be looking at biomes for A19.
Click to expand...
Awesome, but and easy fix for now is just replace the biome.raw with one that has smaller biomes. Including creating it, it can be done in about 20 minutes.
