Re: [WIKI] A comprehensive guide to editing the BTW wiki

Just wanted to say kudos to Will, he's been doing a lot of good editing for the new early game on the wiki.

Re: BtW Succession Game v2

Seems to be moving pretty slowly anyway but I think I'm going to go ahead and remove myself from the queue. Haven't had much time to play video games as I would like and don't think I'll be able to commit to doing a succession round in the near future.

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

Added Clay Piles as a new item. Clay blocks harvested without a shovel will produce Piles, much like with Dirt, but in the case of Clay only a Stone Shovel is needed for a full harvest. 2 Clay Piles may be combined in the crafting grid to produce a Clay ball. Ah, this makes a lot of sense. I was a ...

Re: [WIKI] A comprehensive guide to editing the BTW wiki

That seems perfectly acceptable. I think it'd help if we categorize a wee bit as well. Currently, the wiki has 3 different styles of pages: (in my eyes) -Items/Blocks/Entities/Thingies -Guides -Encompassing Information Yeah, that breakdown makes sense to me. One ambiguous area, I think, is the curr...

Re: BtW Succession Game v2

Yeah, sorry all, I think I'm gonna have to bump myself down on the queue. I think I'll probably have time to play Saturday or early next week! So maybe push me down after Pablo_Sky?

I'll be online so if I'm not able to play when my turn comes up next I'll say so quickly next time.

Re: BtW Succession Game v2

Sorry for the delay--I went out of town on Thursday, and meant to tell y'all to skip me. Well, I'll go ahead and play tonight (and probably die pretty quickly).

I'll try to do a video but might default to screenshots only.

Re: [WIKI] A comprehensive guide to editing the BTW wiki

I think the best course of action on spoilers will likely be to have all spoilers in the wiki for articles on certain topics, but have some general guides for players that want to avoid spoilers, and have it be like what FC put on the first AAAAAAAHHHHH release that had some mild hints. Yeah, that'...

Re: [WIKI] A comprehensive guide to editing the BTW wiki

Hi all, I'd be excited to help out with a wiki overhaul where I can! I've never been a particularly active forum user but I've been around a while (I do seem to already have a wiki account, which helps). A few ideas I've had: 1. Could we work on putting together a comprehensive plan and to-do list f...

Re: Tamed wolves disappearing?

No, this should have been quite a distance away from spawn.

Hmm, back to thinking this might actually be a (presumably vMC) bug. And unfortunately the sort that'd be hard to replicate.

Re: Tamed wolves disappearing?

Yup. Hmm, okay. That's good to know, at least. Still somewhat confused about them completely disappearing, but I guess that's less relevant if that plan generally doesn't work. There's somewhat of an... unintuitive thing there, where the best way to "save" wolves for later is by leaving t...

Tamed wolves disappearing?

In order to recover in case that the wolves at my base starved/turned hostile, I left a pair of tamed wolves in a sealed, lit hole, far enough from my base that they shouldn't have been in loaded chunks pretty much ever. However, when I went to check on/retrieve these wolves, they were completely go...

Re: UnReal World

This is one of those games that makes me question what I think I actually want... because while, on paper, it seems like it should be almost exactly what I'm looking for (in terms of freedom, challenging survival, interesting setting, etc.) but I can never actually engage myself in playing it. It mi...

Re: Spontaneous chunk reversion?

Another thought--do you actually have your active save in your dropbox folder? If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the source of your corruption. Dropbox is a pretty good backup service, but isn't perfect--and especially for large numbers of files with frequent changes (or large fi...

Wait, I don't have to smash pumpkins?

I'd been working under the assumption for the past 3 or 4 years that the only way to extract pumpkin seeds from pumpkins was through the "smashing" process (dropping them from sufficiently high). All of my bases included a tower or hole that I would use for pretty much this purpose exclusi...

I'm not advocating for any specific action, but as the devs said themselves... after you have 1.5 million downloads combined with wildly-available P2P filesharing and an in-game patching system, having a cease-and-desist forcing you to stop publishing the "official" download links is mostl...

This is mostly directed to FC from a long-time mostly lurker--I've seen interesting conversations come out of similar questions people have asked in the past, but it's been a while, so I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask again.

Re: Which is better Large Biomes or Regular Biomes?

FC can correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that BTW is designed and balanced to be played on Regular Biomes. Each biome presents its own benefits and downsides, so large biomes might make a player's life too hard (or easy, but I think an increase in difficulty is more likely) if you get st...

Hi all! I don't post here a lot, but I've been lurking for... wow, probably close to 4 years now.
