Re: A Message For The Community

I was wondering if it might be possible to get previous versions of the mod now that your outlook has changed. I'd love to be able to play some of the older versions that weren't as hardcore or survival intensive.

Thanks for the update and all you do. I finally graduate this week so hopefully I'll have time to play again a little.

Re: 4.B00 - Vegehenna Spoiler thread

FlowerChild, if you don't mind me asking, what ended up being the issue with sporadic hunger consumption on ladders? I'm always fascinated by the details behind bugs and you usually post what the issue was but this time you simply marked it as fixed.

Re: New Release! (BTW 4.B00) - NO SPOILERS

Nice to see plant based foods getting the same treatment as meat did previously. More food changes is always a scary prospect but you've got a pretty good track record so I guess we'll have to see how it goes.

Cows don't mind explosives

Taking damage from creepers, mining charges, and powder kegs does not cause cows to panic (unless they are launched in the air, survive, and take fall damage). Seems like something that should make them panic. Double checked in creative since my last cow related post ended up being mistaken as to no...

Cows not running from approaching zombies

It is my recollection that cows were supposed to run from zombies trying to eat them even if the zombie hasn't hit them yet. (if I'm wrong stop reading and just lock this). Watching a VOD of Vioki's stream it seems like they aren't. I know you recently worked on pathing so if this is unattended I wa...

Re: Music you like to listen to while playing BTW

So I absolutely don't listen to any music or shows when playing BTW. If I miss the quiet footsteps or telltale sound of an enemy it can mean my death. For me BTW is way to hard core to add any distractions.

Re: Share your memorable deaths?

My most memorable death happened back when there was the big BTW co-op server. Tom Savage and I were in the nether at a nether fortress farming wither skeletons for head.

Early item isn't burnable as fuel [spoilers]

Campfire isn't viable fuel for an already lit campfire. Seems inconsistent with other wood items. Unless it was changed in the most recent version. Discovered this last night and haven't played since the update but didn't see it in the patch notes.

FC I respect you and if you say that it's not a good idea then I'll accept that and you can lock the thread.

Re: OBS does not record gloom overlay

If you can figure out what caused this bug it'd be really interesting to know. Imagine your stream being able to see in the gloom but the player still being blind. Might be really interesting for viewers to see that zombie coming at the player knowing the player is unaware.

TLDR: Is the game considerably harder than it was before? I've seen people make comments about it being rage inducing. So with some of the newer BTW changes I think I've reached the limit of how Hardcore a gamer I am. I think BTW is amazing and I'm not suggesting FC not follow his heart on any chang...

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O

One thing that has been surprisingly tedious is re-baiting a fishing rod. Could casting a non-baited rod with bait in the hotbar automatically bait the rod? Similar to how the bow uses arrows from the hotbar without notching each arrow. Oh god... if he makes us equip each arrow individually I am so ...

One thing that has occurred to me during my most recent playthrough is how much of a letdown storms are. They sound so impressive and scary but the solution is simply to go inside or quickly or burrow into your nearest hill. If you're stuck outside then it's dangerous but I wish there was some incen...

So while not a mid-game viable option, there are really amazing things you can do with minecarts. Back in the day Tom_Savage and I, (mostly Tom) did some amazing automation. We had things like remote loading of minecarts that would then send themselves off to a pulley elevator, stop on the elevator,...
