Don't worry: every thing you say will be hold against you...

Note: If it is not usable, we will make it usable.
You're welcome, the Interwebzzz.

You know what they say. Pessimists are optimists with experience. 😁

We know from experience that certain things usually happen before a new version is released. For example, there are usually developer streams weeks before the experimental release. Then there is the Streamer Weekend. Registration for that has not started yet. 3 weeks is a bit short for all that to happen, unless the Fun Pimps have decided that they don't need all that anymore and just release the experimental version on day X.

I think the streamer thing is handled through some other app or something now.  I remember reading something about that in a thread about people wanting to know about how to register for Streamer Weekend.

So I don't think they need to do the registration thing any more.

Yeps, its all handled by the Creator Program of Lurkit now. TFP has nothing to manage there anymore.

 
I ask myself the same questions, especially with the silence around certain features such as zip lines. I hope we will at least have a more immersive weather system and not just a flashback. Frankly, with all this time, it would be disappointing if stuff was put aside.

I don't think they intend to add ziplines? Judging by what's been shown so far, weather does seem to be more immersive in 2.0

 
If zipline code is still in the back ground it would be, interesting, to use it as a repel line, 

up down scaling or between buildings. limit the length of reach to a little longer than
standard block stability length.

shoot and attach two a block width apart then place blocks in between the two cables. 

Create a level or ramp, between areas.

Or ascend descend to upper levels. But it would probably become the new meta for 

nerdpole, unless resource and crafting were made expensive.

Climbable rope, is already available in game. This is just an extension
of the principle.

Extend on that Idea, and attach to elevators, and apply power to the building and suddenly 

you have working lifts. Using existing code 1 block and 1 texture, and it keeps within structural rules.

They had ziplines at one point,  but during internal testing, it was a major imbalance issue so it wasn't added to the game.  At least that is what I recall, but it has been some time since it was teased in a video.

Oh that's interesting. I'm still curious about the helipads at all of the trader compounds. I remember Rick starting to say something about them during a devstream before his brother and Lathan shut him up.

 
Yeah, faatal mentioned ziplines a few months ago and said they had considered them and they didn't work well for the game and so they decided against having them.  So no ziplines.

Not sure what you mean by a flashback.  If you mean what we had with hot and cold before 1.0, then it's more than that.  There will be actual storms that different for each biome and will damage you if you're out in them.  That, combined with biome hazards, gives you much more than what we had before.  How well they work or how good they look will be up to everyone's opinions and preferences once we see them.  They did show a video of a storm in the desert and it looked good.

I was alluding to the fact that near release we get funny hitler short vid that forum members make up and Laz's famous Smells like alpha pics...but with it not being alpha now that may never come to pass. Sad days.

EDIT: Just saw vid above about the zip lines. Would have been awesome indeed. Also is it just me or was anyone else starting to forget what madmole sounded like lol
