Everyone's talking about bikes, behemoths and backpacks while I'm sat here wondering how they propose to solve the chunk-loading issue which has been the main downfall <pun intended> of the current vehicle system.
Sometimes I'm surprised by my own levels of nerdery... nerdism... nerdosity?

I probably made a poor assumption that with the work they're doing on vehicles, they're addressing chunk loading as well. Then again maybe they're just slowing vehicles down so that chunks have more time to load. Who knows. But with a couple of new senior engineers, that's my hope. That they're focusing on nuts and bolts of the game (like chunk loading).

My guess is that there are features, like vehicles, where certain game optimizations absolutely have to happen in order to get the features working even at the Alpha stage of development.

So... Crossing my fingers on this one. I think we've mostly been trained away from questions about chunk loading as the "Probably a beta optimization" answer has long been the default response.

 
Will diferent types of meat ever be added back?

I know you can mod them in but I don't know how to add picutres for diferent types of wolf and snake meat.

 
Outstanding news on the Behemoth, but where do we send our condolences for Roland on the zip lines?
...is there a relief fund? Gofundme?

Back to work, peace.

But... I thought that Madmole was the Behemoth.

 
Parachutes?

Since zip-lines are out surely we could sew together a very primitive parachute to jump from building to land safely on the ground. :smile-new:

This idea I like. :)

I could see a lot of rather creative ideas with this...

I'm actually really disappointed in not getting the behemoth. I was excited to get a big, base wrecking mutant zombie. Given the RP they talked about with the zombie virus being alien in origin it would fit just fine, especially when we already have mutant looking zombies like the wright. Hell, he could've even been remodeled to look more human. That's a big, late game threat just thrown out.

What are you talking about? Madmole already said that they are working on putting that in the game.

Most of that stuff is kind of on the radar, but Behemoth and Zip lines are on the cutting room floor.

"Cutting room floor" refers to content that is excluded from the final product.

You could always carry a stack of hay-blocks and throw them around before going up..

Its how I always do it.... saves me a lot of time coming back down.

 
Are you asking for steam or ice?
Click to expand...
heh. Ice blocks already exist, so half way there.

Are they even being used currently? And if yes, where?

...frozen bodies of water in random gen winter biomes, pls and thx?

Um..STEAM?? No thnx

Although I think ICE would be a must in the winter biomes

What I think he is referring too is the fact that water doesn't flow right and does not seam to correct itself when you break the water blocks by placing a frame and than removing the frame.

 
Personal Note:

I no longer make any clubs.

Instead I just use the stone axe as it swings much faster and because of that it does more damage in a shorter amount of time DPS wise.

5-6 swings in the same time it tales to swing 2 times with clubs.

Not to mention the cheaper cost of making it.
