Epic setting in next release :)

[walker_boh_65]

But more features is always good. always.

Finished features that is or features that will be finished in a timely fashion... ;)

Well designed features that work well and give the impression of being complete, but will ultimately be added to and revisted constantly to keep them fresh and tied in with the rest of the game.

If I meant other kinds of features, I would have said mojang features, obviously :|

I bet a doughnut battosay already knows what the new setting is.

And Ill bet a companion cube that he wont let on that he does

[M!C]

Well, I haven't even installed the last release yet so ... I can wait, take your time FC! :P

[BinoAl]

This topic is quite hilarious :)

I figured it would be :) I'm quite surprised nobody has tried to troll and say fc is adding diamond tipped saws :D

[Battosay]

Pouah !
I wish. But nope, I got owned when I asked :p

Hehe...this time, you're just going to have to wait like everyone else man.

It most likely wasn't a post or everybody else could have read it.

[walker_boh_65]

or maybe I was right, and he is lying to us;)

Battosay knows! Everybody, grab your interrogation equipment!

[FurkeyRefills]

You made me spit out my ginger beer with your torture humor !

[Gilberreke]

This thread went from good-natured amusing to creepy as hell in 2 posts.

Who doesn't like a good bit of torture?

Mmmm, M!C, I might have to take you up on that offer :)

[ilovekintoki]

Did the thread go from torture to sadomasochistic fantasies?

Nothin' wrong with a bit of S&M.

Not my specialty but hey, who cares if I go a bit too far ...

My guess is permanent night anyway. When you first start a map you'll have to deal with creepers stalking you when you're punching trees, and you won't be able to just hide in a little hole. Will make underground farming a necessity.

My second guess is that torches will be nerfed or not work at all >:]
No more safe havens ;)
(or possibly only nethercoal torches will work, which will turn light into a resource)

[Robilar]

You have to remember that this isn't an overhaul here, it's a simple tweak. Just like Steel production being switched to a 1:1:1:1 ratio. That tweak requires you to produce more urns, more ground netherrak, more lots of stuff. This is just an instance where FC tweaked the vanilla features (like axes or Minecarts) but this change makes it a little more difficult instead of easier. FC gave us a hint in what area it was (the mechanically inclined players and automation), so we should probably stay in that area.

Remember, easy to implement, very simple tweak. (Torches not working is not simple, but only getting one torch instead of four is)

[grimper12341]

Change the amount of light it emits from (14?) to 0 <.<

[KriiEiter]

Maybe dropped blocks just disappear more quickly now. :o

[Robilar]

Change the amount of light it emits from (14?) to 0 <.<

While simple to implement (ignoring the likely base-class modification), it's still a very large change to the fundamental game overall.

FC mentioned that this effected the more advanced users of the mod, while torches can potentially be obsoleted by light blocks or glowstone by the time you hit the nether. A torch modification would more adversely affect starting players and would make mining very difficult, given you'd have no light source except lava lighting until you hit the nether.

I, personally, can't fathom what FC would modify from vanilla, simply because there's so many vast possibilities that a simple tweak could be anywhere. Even removing the flint chance from gravel puts arrow production off until you have a saw, giving some serious implications to your arrow usage without a mob trap. Those two shots you used on a spider may end up costing you when a pair of creepers starts running at you.

Regardless, I'm very excited to see what tweak FC has in mind, and what he comes up with in the future as the Forge develops and unlocks new areas of vanilla functionality he can modify.

[Rosethorns]

well we know it's aimed at technical players.
And we know it's aimed at making their life harder but more rewarding.
And we know it's a vanilla tweak.

1. My guess is that it is making it so you cannot have adjacent redstone torches powering devices, and that you must have a dust/repeater connection.

2. Levers/buttons/pressure plates don't act as a signal themselves, and instead only act as propagators.

Maybe it's both. But thats my guesses!

So, on the bright side, the delay is adding up to a bunch of new stuff to play with ;)

I haven't felt this way since Christmas at 8 years old.
