PC Back after a long vacation from the game, where can I catch up?

Oh A18 looks good, and I am excited to see **spears** listed. I hope they are reach/melee weapons, not just thrown. Kind of concerned about the mentions of possibly removing minng (its in the last 10 pages or so), but it looks like something they are just casually debating the pros and cons. Digging in (literally and strategically) has been a core part of my play style, removing the ability to dig would ruin the game for me.

I really do not dig this Idea either but if this were to be true maybe other things would be possible with the static terrain. They mention mining is possible so you would think the hills were open for horizontal tunneling but this would also be static so there would only be one way to mine and that would be POI caves they spawn and mining maybe 10 blocks deep in caves or something. I don't know but it kind of sucks for a lot of people including me.

The main selling point for the game is the unparalleled sandbox gameplay, so restricting any aspect of the sandbox gameplay will be like going from Morrowind to Oblivion and possibly have sales of their game decline drastically.

If you look at the underside of a map, you'd see that it really doesn't matter where "bedrock" is within reason. Until you dig in it, it is just empty space. I am not sure where people are reading that they are thinking about taking out mining. I have not seen any conversation that they have said this.

I will pass on A18 myself until a stable version comes out and reviews and comments about it are positive, unless of course it is a mandatory update then I guess I will have no choice but to play it myself anyway or find another game.

I really love the game, so I am hoping whatever they are doing with A18 will not ruin gameplay as it is now in A17 - which I think some are unhappy with that version coming out as well and would rather play A16 instead.
