PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

Some people just love drama or do not keep up will what we do post. Saying 2.5 will be released several weeks later does not mean the sky is falling. The initial 2.5 experimental will just contain more changes.

There is no hard rule what will be in any 2.x release. Many people work on these features and they get done at different rates based on complexity, feedback, bugs, illness, vacations, holidays and other projects.

One issue we have had is some dependencies between features when branching from trunk to 2.5, making it hard to split them into separate experimentals.

My current estimates:

2.5 has these nearly done features:
Jars - 100%?
Distant storms (rendered at distance) - 98% (code done, a few particles tweaks left)
Character preview render improvements - 100%
Biome immersion changes (buffs, icons, messages, descriptions) - 100%?
Bug fixes - As normal

2.5 will be also getting:
Smells - 90%? (feedback, balance)
Apiary - 80%?
New Frostclaw and Plague Spitter models - 70%?

2.5 or 2.6 may get:
3rd person camera - 80%?
Chicken coop - 30%?
Weather survival additions (temperature, wetness, etc) - ?
Misc stuff

Thank you. This is mostly what I thought (at least regarding 2.x vs. 3.0).

I was mainly asking because this information isn't posted anywhere that is easy to find. (Page 265 of a forum thread is not something I consider "easy to find.")

For example, it's not in the first post of this thread, which lists the planned features for version 2. It's also (obviously) not on the roadmap image. On Twitter, when the pictures of upcoming assets are posted (like the apiary), it's usually just "coming soon."

This is why I don't think IzPrebuilt was being lazy, or disingenuous. Given that it's difficult to find information saying that these things are coming in 2.x, why wouldn't he be inclined to think they're 3.0 features?

Obviously this also isn't any kind of deception on the part of TFP. It's just "under-communicated."

Maybe there should be a new "2.x dev diary" thread for the upcoming 2.x features? That would probably help a lot.

Okay but why from 1.0 when bandits were never scheduled for that? If you want to needlessly point out the obvious that bandits are behind schedule then start the clock from when they were originally scheduled to arrive which was April-July of 2025. Bandits are overdue by 4-5 months and counting as of now. But even that isn't news. We knew bandits would be late the moment 2.0 didn't release in December of 2024
 
GM and HD, if you guys like to have a bugged and glitched game, try to develop one, I bet it will be as fast as probably some moments in your life that you thought worth it, but not for the other side, that you`ve been with.

This is game development and it takes time. Another thing you should learn from ;)

nope...don't try and say I am trying to rush them...I just want better communication. What faatal just did...would be fine on a regular basis. Save your childish ad hominem attacks for another day.
 
Got your point, but the devs share stuff when it is ready to be shared properly among us and every community around internet, we cannot act grumpy for them not doing it, right ?

Because a work in progress is something that some wouldn`t accept right and will add a lot of clutter to discussions as we do now, this is why, with the years of development, us the members of this forums learned to leave them have their space, and when they are ready, they share what is cool for us to know, which is always a hype.

I have to disagree with this. If someone is doing videos about a topic, they should be taking the time to find the actual information they are talking about. If they aren't willing to do so, then they should be very up front about "this is just my guess and I don't know anything for sure and haven't taken the effort to find out." It really isn't that hard to find out information. Faatal is the person who almost always provides it, so a search for posts by him on a specific topic will often yield results without much effort. Not everything is as easy to find - storms, for example are too big of a topic to easily find posts about if you are just searching for "storms" - but a lot of things are easy to find. And if he couldn't find the information himself, he could always ask someone who stays on top of the news. And if either of those don't work or he's just absolutely not interested in finding out the truth, he should be very clear about that as I said. Otherwise, it's just an attempt to drum up drama to get views. No different from all the news stations these days.
 
I have some quick questions: What happened to Trader Jimmy, did he get cut...
and become trader Jen? Also what happened to Trader Caitlin did her character get
Rekt or something, And last What happened to Trader ric making an appearance?

First will any of these make a reprisal before development ends, and if
they are all labeled as IsEnemyEntity, are they going to have a duplicitous
role in the future when interacting with the players? You know, like tainted food,
erroneous meds, weapons that fail, boot to the head, etc. That would be an interesting
turn of events. At least for me.
