Re: Embargo Lifted! (Open Early Game Discussion)
I'm gonna edit what used to be here away because I realized I was being dumb. TIL bones exist and will help me conserve string early game by not using my axes for hunting, thanks to an old conversation on Discord! Generic appreciation comment for how awesome this mod is and how it always reels me ba...
Re: Besieged
Yeah, it's Besiege. Great, now I feel stupid >.> I knew a lot of you guys are wary of early alpha, haha. I usually don't like anything in alpha, but I figured for only $7 and the potentially limitless play value it was worth it for me - Just figured I'd share with the community :) I'd love to hear o...
Besieged
This game is flat out awesome. It's nifty idea with huge potential. I know a lot of people here are against buying things early alpha but the sheer maniacal mechanical-loving creative destructive mind in me absolutely loves this game. The best part? It's only $7! Basically, it's a game where you bui...

Re: Return to Home?
Fair enough, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry to hear that - I remember reading about the eyesight and everything. On a related note, where do I find the IRC channel/stream/etc or is that all restricted to friends? :P As usual, thanks for staying in touch. I'm glad to hear that you're getting back into...

Re: What infrastructure do you focus on?
I generally make packed earth/gravel paths everywhere but don't spend too much time making them pretty roads - I go way more for functionality than aesthetics. I focus from the beginning on survival and sustenance, therefore small paths and functional farms are my go-to infrastructure. Even heading ...

Return to Home?
Howdy all, Been a while since I've played BTW - I stopped it (and MC in general) about a year ago, expecting very few more updates and waiting happily for RTH. However, I noticed recently three new updates came out for BTW. They're not anything huge and I suspect just the general bug fixes and small...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.99999A0F Marsupial!?!?) - NO SPOILE
My first death in the game I started a few weeks ago came from me whacking a sheep and then getting killed by a stampede of hardcore hoofsies. Broad daylight, nothing hostile around, in the middle of a field, I thought I was safe... ha! I love how stampedes are actually a legitimate thing. This is y...

Hardcore Fishing
I can't seem to find the information anywhere, but I seem to recall the fishing rules are changed now (not talking about the baited fishing rod, but fish spawn conditions). The only thing I can find is the release notes that it requires a "large body of water," and obviously my pool doesn'...

Re: Evil Enderman(Wither?)/Nether Portal help
Is it that far? I know 8 blocks = 1 block in the nether, but I didn't know I'd have to go that far... Either way, I don't think I'll need to! Good news/progress update! I made it back to my base and went back down to the nether more prepared this time and took out the 2 spiders that were assaulting ...

Re: Evil Enderman(Wither?)/Nether Portal help
Thanks everybody for the comments! Working my way back to my main base from a far spawn off in the middle of nowhere now so I'll definitely try the wolf thing... Otherwise, it looks like I may be building a new portal. Was unaware things would crawl through and ambush me on the other side, so I'll h...

Re: Evil Enderman(Wither?)/Nether Portal help
Thanks for the quick answer... that's what I was afraid of. The whole mobs-entering-portals deal is new to me, I haven't played in a long time. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them in the nether, other than building an entirely new portal? I simply don't have time to kill them as I go throu...

Evil Enderman(Wither?)/Nether Portal help
Hey guys, I need a little help here in my survival world.. Recently created my first nether portal in the world, went down, luckily had it spawn in the middle of a nether fortress... I secured the portal in a cobblestone housing thing with only one exit, venture out, thinking all is well, I gather s...

Re: [SPOILERS] Hardcore Sinkholes
I have to say, this is my favorite addition lately to the game! It's so simple, yet so fitting to the theme of this mod and to the overall atmosphere of the game as a whole... Started a new game recently and I've been searching for a desert biome to put my first windmill in/build a home near that's ...

Re: What hilarious misconceptions have you had about BTW?
If I can bump this old and somewhat deceased thread, I misread the wiki a while back and thought I had found an obvious yet unfixed glitch in the gearbox mechanics... In reading the wiki page for wind mills I noticed that "The player can prevent this* by applying redstone power to the Gearbox b...

Re: What's your door? - Base entrance thread
best entrance that i now use on my desert base is a 3 blocks gap with slabs above and under so you have a 2 blocks way to enter and exit. mobs take that like full block. low resources, good looking. I can't help but feel that's a little too metagame-y for my taste haha. I usually stick with grates ...

Re: New Player, Feeling like I'm missing something.
Hopefully this isn't hijacking the thread at all, but I finally have gotten to a point in my game where I have a small chicken coop and small hemp/pumpkin farm. My question is concerning food - aren't recipes like the mushroom omelet redundant and, in fact, pointless? The ability to eat a fried egg ...

Re: Hardcore Headwear SPOILERS
Question regarding hats; is there any way to get them to disengage once they've gotten hold of you? I've died many a time by being swallowed up by a hat and then being unable to do anything; I can't get to the surface, but continually go down, down, down into the sea. Hitting them seems to do no not...
