Lowest-end GPU you're testing for playability on? I run middle shadows (none reflected), SSAO, low SS reflections, without those night time just feels wrong. My 1060/3GB handles that just fine at 720p with all the view distances cranked to their limits, the steady and dramatic performance improvements these last few drops have been just soooo gratifying, if you're going to take them away, tell me now please.
For horrible testing I use a HD 5770. Modern low end I use a RX 570. Not doing low end testing on A19 yet. I'm not worried about it. That is why we have lower LODs and we can always make more.

If you improve this i will put your picture on my bedroom ceiling :)
That sounds creepy. You are supposed to give me positive reinforcement to fix stuff. How about, if I fix it, you won't put up my picture.

We all know your picture is already up there. Best extor...er...motivation would be to have it removed...

Okay, if you if fix it I will take your picture down and put Rolands up.

 
@madmole, any chance when the new building radials are done, we'll have a full set of frames available for wood, metal and rebar? Or, is it intended to not have all available shapes in the building menus? Can't wait for some new artwork and videos, especially a few of yours showing off new features! A19 seems to be a major graphical overhaul, it should be like playing a new game again.

New building menus will happen later, we're going to do it once and do it right, not doing interim steps using clunky current block shape setups.

 
Although we haven't done any really massive builds so far in A18 we have built a fair bit and the one thing I have found that is almost useless is the table saw.

Is it still going to be a thing in A19 and if so why ;)

I really like the multiple block shape system using the "R" key. It makes building a far more enjoyable and IMO more creative process.

And yes we are still racking up the hours in A18 and very much enjoying our 6 - 7 hours a day.

Maybe one of the best games made this decade... maybe? ;) (flame on)

Tablesaws are just deco in POIs.
