Re: New Release! (BTW V4.66) [*** NO SPOILERS ***]

Thanks for making it possible for me to upgrade to 1.5, there was literally no reason for me to consider doing so previously! My vanilla installation shall still not be updated. Or played. Being forge free must feel great.

Re: Stardrive

Been playing this game for a while now, just a warning before you spend any money, it has some really horrible coding which makes late game absolutely unplayable! Other than that it's a nice 4x and modding support should give it some longevity.

Re: Creative freedom in BTW and Minecraft [design discussion

At times that limitation can provide the endless sandbox with some welcome sense of purpose, and I often feel like I'm gaining something, perhaps even something huge (see HCB) but at others it can feel like it's limiting my options beyond what I'm comfortable with. My take on this is, basically, be...

Re: Vanilla Feature court - Session 1 - Analog Redstone

What I would like to ask the community is this: what would you think of the idea, and would you have thought it would have been a worthwhile inclusion in the mod? If I would have popped up out of nowhere with it as a new feature in BTW, what would your reaction have been? I would be rather shocked,...

Well, I'll assume this is a vanilla bug then, Neither F3 nor F1 are working and it only affects that save. Sorry for the noise :/ Did think it was rather clever though! EDIT to prevent further noise: Well I can't repeat this bug in a new save, this is definitely a vanilla bug and potentially a world...

So I've run foul of the feature which discourages players from using peaceful! FYI, no I wasn't trying to cheat, my son plays on peaceful and I am in the (bad) habit of switching over before he takes the machine - he's only 3! Let me just emphasise, it is not a good idea in the slightest, I don't kn...

Tall jungle trees can be spotted a country mile away, provide a really good, easy shelter for the night (for the players who like to twiddle their thumbs till morning) - just nip up the vines till you reach the leaves and batter the top logs down till you can get in. They are a safe source of stacks...

Every game engine has it's strengths and weaknesses depending on what it was designed to do - you're doing the equivalent of asking why a tractor can't use the motorways or why a Lamborghini isn't sold with a tow hook.
