@RolandIn the question of water, what goal does the team want to achieve?


I'll let a developer reveal particulars about water when they feel they've made enough progress to talk about it.  I don't want to make waves.  But I can say generally that they want it to generate in the world correctly, behave well with other blocks and decorations, and to not destroy performance. You won't get another drop of information about it from me though.

lol I see what you did there.

 
Question on the new skill books:  Will the previous perks from the old skill books still be available in other forms?  Do they unlock in order now as you get more and more books?  For instance for mining is there a way to find gold/gems while mining and eventually have the chance to auto-kill ore blocks?

The way they phrased the tweet will make plenty of people think it's going to be drivable. Wouldn't exactly see the point in that myself (and I think it's just a prop anyway)

 
Excited to see the upcoming changes already mentioned in this thread. Apologies if my questions have already been asked.

I read a little about some water updates that might make it in to a21. Could we get more info about what’s getting updated there? (Any water life or boats?)

Something that’s always bothered me a bit… you can’t shoot through the hole in a damaged door! Would that be difficult to change?

I think it’s been mentioned that a21 doesn’t necessarily have a date set to release, but some devs have mentioned work that “might be completed in time for a21”. If a date isn’t the main deciding factor, how are you selecting the changes that will make you feel like a21 is ready?

Cheers,

Just saw this tweet: 




From all the talk of new 'decorative' vehicles, I imagine this is just a prop, but people who aren't reading stuff on the forum (most people) won't know. Going on the wording of that tweet, they will think they can hitch a plow to it and ride over zombies (which would be cool). I foresee wailing and gnashing of teeth when they find out that was fake news.

All new/updated doors should allow for players to melee/shoot through their damage holes.  For example, the commercial doors (single and double) that have been shared by the devs have the shoot through tech. built into them already.  😎

 
Tractor: Ooooo, aaaahhhhh.

Green, so that's John Deer.

Blue ... Ford

Orange ... Allis-Chalmers

Red ... Case IH or Massey Ferguson

Was there anything further on the potential solution for windows being so taxing? I think it might have been Faatal said he was looking at that?
