hey @Roland, one last question about jars that just came to mind. 
what about the yucca and yucca smoothie recipes?  will they use fresh water now? because that kinda sucks. at least for the regular yucca drink that you were able to get early on when in the desert.

Hello @schwanz9000 ! I do not know exactly who is responsible for the shapes of the blocks, but perhaps you can answer? The game already has several forms of blocks that can be painted with different textures from different sides. My favorites are the forms of "destruction". Do you think it is possible to add buffets and various containers with such shapes to the game? I think then it would be possible to diversify the interiors more by using standard paints separately - for doors, separately - for handles and "holes" between the doors. What do you think? :)

Eh. Probably not. The handles and door gaps are baked into those textures and will look a lot better than just a flat stripe on a shape face IMO.
We'll have to wait and see what the art team wants to do with those. There are plans to update a lot of the textures in game before gold. "MAYBE" we can do something at that point. LOTS of new art coming in A21 to satisfy your decoration needs.

pure water

Nice ! All the little tricks to get water are gone then (snow, yucca, etc).  I like that.

Another question... did the meat take a balance pass? Meaning less meat from animals, more meat for recipies?

I believe making charred with 10 raw meat could be a sweet little struggle on the first few days. We can always eat veggies, fruits and food cans, right?

They have had a long long time to figure out what works best for their goals and business.

That's why I'm in the mood of "let them alone so that they can get stuff done".

People keep posting elaborate walls of text about some concepts they would like to see in the game, which is good and all,

but I guess we're far beyond that point of development.

There's enough stuff already in progress of getting implemented, and beyond that...well there has to be some cool things left for 8D2D right? 😀

...speaking of concepts btw, I hope you already figured out some A21 date interpretation puzzle thingy that we can scratch our brains sore about?

I'm sure Roland is racking his brain to top his "Everdeen" puzzle.  He is probably wants to make sure whatever feature he will elude too won't slip to A22...😅

Well... are art team thinking about making skeletons props maybe? 😅

I may be missing something in the game, but I haven't seen anything on it, but any plan to return the ability to make solar panels and cells by the players?

I enjoy setting up a base with doors that open via motion cameras and running it all on solar with battery banks, but having to purchase the solar can be frustrating as you have to wait till they are available.

Otherwise keep up the great work, myself and friends are looking forward to seeing what else is coming! 

 
@The Fun Pimps

Does anyone care to comment on why the solar bank, and solar panel can't be crafted?

I know this has probably been asked and answered but I've not seen it.

1.How many new Tier 5 POI or otherwise can you confirm as implemented in a21 ?

2.And another question: Did you guys made some new underground POI for a21? 

3. What is your favourite "not yours"  a21 POI?

1. Can't say just yet.  Weather report looks good though...😅

2. Nothing extensive planned.  However, there are a few surprises not yet revealed.

3. Don't have a favorite, but that Burgerneer POI recently shown on Twitter is a fun experience.  Lots of clever use of shapes and textures.

I am 90% sure they will not be appearing but would be pleasantly surprised if they do

Before I go on I have to say yes, I absolutely do this myself all the time. I just find it amusing when I do stop and think about it.

Giving a percentage makes no sense to me.

If I say 1% chance it will happen or 99% chance it will happen it doesn't matter I am both right and wrong.

If I say 1% chance they will be added and they are...that was my 1% working. If they are not, my other 99% was what kicked in.

If I say 99% chance they will be added and they are then my 99% was correct. If not, oh well, I did say there was a 1% chance they wouldn't.

No matter what I split the percentages into I will be both right and wrong at all times.

So that is how I see it in my brain.

My post has 50% chance of being 100% right or 100% wrong :D
