Thanks. Could you also forward the compensation money I'll inevitably get out of suing you? I mean, I love you too, but there's this trade embargo against me and I need lots of spike traps by tomorrow.

WhaaaAAAAAAaa?
Zombies digging down? How did that not turn into a dramatic discussion war?
So... So... We're doing the swiss cheese then? Oh my stars... All those poor poor broken legs and long dig outs to find gear.
Hey? Do you know if there will be an increase on the timer for when a player drops their inventory? Just saying... it could... be a while... before someone can get back to their stuff with digging zombies and such.

If you're going to comment on your knowledge of toilets can you at least sign off from where you're writing your post from? aka...

My plan all along was to nurture periodic discussions about underground threats and digging zombies so that when the time finally came everyone would be too talked out about it.
Also we aren't returning to anything. What faatal is creating with the pathing system is new and beyond anything we had before. You can't judge the future by the past in this case.

What? Did we remove the option to drop your inventory or belt on the ground when you die? Who doesn't return to get their stuff? And who's judging? Though...
Huh...
Already, based on what fataal said, the pathing... maaaaaaaaaaaaan...
fataal? how FAR does that route planning reach? I was just thinking... if someone is building on bedrock.... under a snow peak... Aaand you only scan a path say 30 blocks from a zombies current position...
I only ask this because of Random Gen. Random Gen can have an average terrain height much higher than Navesgane. So you could have some semi-common situations where the player base is deeper/further than the path scannings distance allows. Which... I would assume, turns on a general pathing movement to bring a zombie closer.
Dear lord fataal. you've got your work cut out for you. Bless you homie. Bless you. lol.
I was also wondering, for a zombie horde, is there a hive mind pathing approach taken up to a certain distance is reached from a player? i.e. zombies will move along a general route until they're say within 30 blocks from a target? This is more just random curiosity as this whole AI pathing thing is crazy interesting too me.
Thanks!

actually, a "Digging Enabled" option would be fantastic to have. Because frankly, there's just a lot of passion for both sides of the coin. Maybe Fataal can comment on a potential for such an option. I wouldn't mind the default to have digging enabled. But sometimes I want to city/world build with an edge of excitement. not the whole sword. I know it's all been discussed and much to Roland's dismay, i've taken a forum break so I'm happy to dig the topic back up. lol.

agreed. but dude... AI Pathing? I love that crap. The work fataal is doing is awesome and crazy interesting to me. lol. So I can't help but ask questions.
Maybe because you weren't here to start it :fat:
Seriously, we had some discussions. And when experimental hits and not everything works perfectly (which it infallibly won't) there will be more discussions and drama.
There are winds of changes blowing
Gathering leaves up in its path
And the people who are the leaves
Will keep discussing and complaining

Just make sure everyone is nice to MM and the rest of the devs so they don't hard code it with double dig speed.
