Does the continued dumbing down... er, I mean, "streamlining" mean that TFP got the console port back and is going to make it all the same?

YAY! I've always wanted to play a console game on my PC!

You would think that, with all of the streamlining, they would have streamlined the dev process to be much quicker.

Oh snap!

We are all well aware that the Pimps are no longer interested in catering to us. We all read the statement. Doeesnt mean some of us cant look at a game development choice and disagree with it.

Respectfully... Please dont talk on my behalf.

All worries considered, I would certainly hold off on such rants until I've actually played the new experimental...

with this rate of changes we will have starting gear and 5k of coins to spend! Yay alpha 17 where everything is streamed to your convenience! Not trolling, just disappointed in the way the game is going. I just want the game to still be challenging and be where it takes time to gather things and make the better items. There can be a healthy balanced of the game not being super stream lined and it also not being a grind. Seems like the pimps cant find that healthy balance.

calm down everyone. let play it first before spitting words. i (we) may have concerns, but really we do not know exatly, how it feels to play a17. all can be changed, removed, added, modified etc etc. i'm pretty sure, if majority of forum users does not like something, TFP will make it better. but first, we need to play it, to find out, how it feels.

@Roland (or any dev that can answer)

With clay patches being removed. I have some questions that hopefully I can get answers to.

  • Will we be getting full access to the texture atlas so we can add/edit our own textures to add clay back in? **without needing to hack the program to do so?
  • What is the reasoning behind the clay patch removal? Is clay no longer a need like it was before?
  • If Clay is still a need like it was before. Is there a new way to acquire large quantities for large build projects?

Yeah, I do play that the most. I guess I got all my mods and vanilla really mixed up. Ugh, I'm sorry. At least I got us an answer for clay deposits out of that, lol.

And yes, you got us some good info out of it!

Man, I hate when haters hate. Say no to hate and lets celebrate that 7 days will finally get an update <3 Lets go on a date in a crate, its our fate!

 
First of all this is not a new change....just newly revealed. The change has been in place for months so it really has nothing to do with getting rights back for console.

Secondly, it is not that you dig dirt and get some clay from it. It is that all dirt you dig other than sand is called “clay soil” and is what you use. So if anything the abundance of clay has increased by quite a magnitude.

In other words, the only change is that you don’t have to find patches now. What you dig is essentially clay that can be used for all clay needs.

It isn’t like the boulders where you get some soil and some clay and some ore and some etc...with every shovel strike.

I think what was removed (but I haven’t checked the creative menu) was “forest soil” and “plains soil” and “burnt soil” and “grassy soil”. Now all soil is useable as clay for all clay dependent recipes. (Other than the desert biome)

The only difference in gameplay is the need to open your map, find the closest reddish brown splotch, and go there. If you are in the desert you will have to exit the biome to get clay. I’m not sure how easy it will be to mod that back in for those who want that.
