Upgrade iron tools to steel
Specifically, flint and steel and shears. Make them last longer, and, in the case of shears, harvest wool (and possibly padding) blocks more quickly, being that shears are the most effective tool on those blocks, but still take an inordinate amount of time.

Re: Upgrade iron tools to steel
Shears and I believe the flint and steel can both already be recycled, so you'd just be wanting a slightly faster version of each tool?
As FC said last time; once they're not a severely underused part of the vanilla game, then maybe - but I can't see a need tbh.

I don't know, I'd love Steel shears, as I said before :)
It takes forever to cut the vines with iron shears, and they don't last long.

Re: Upgrade iron tools to steel
How about instead of Steel shears we upgrade to a Machete. Because of the inclusion of rainforests shears do come in handy to cut a path through the dense foliage. Maybe Machete can have additional range and cut multiple leaf blocks at once.
Has anybody considered a sharpening wheel like this ?
I did a search on sharpening wheel here and couldn't find anything.
I've always considered the fact that you can build stone swords and iron swords just a little to quick without taking into consideration molding or sharpening methods. I kinda wish vMC only let us start out with stone and wood spears.

A post last night reminded me of my favorite passage from A Hitchhiker's Guide. Expect more first person accounts in the days to come.

Yes but if i ask FC to add Jessica Alba to the game he will give me a warning for sure and i want to preserve that for a really stupid suggestion i will eventually make.jorgebonafe wrote:I agree, Machete is awesome XD

But it would totally justify a sheep exploding into a cloud of 3-6 wool blocks, which would be funny.Kazuya Mishima wrote:Shearing a sheep with a machete, that is a pretty sadistic suggestion.FlowerChild wrote:

Re: Upgrade iron tools to steel
Out of curiosity, which passage is this? The coming towards me part reminds me of the falling whale =P "round, round round, ground!!! ground!! I wonder if it'll be friendly!!"FlowerChild wrote: Sheep: "Who is that nice man coming towards me, maybe he wants to give me a hug?"

Yup, it's the whale that comes into existence in orbit when they first trigger the improbability drive. I probably read those books over 20 years ago, but that scene is still vivid in my mind :)embirrim wrote: Out of curiosity, which passage is this?

that scene was my favorite, I literally couldn't stop laughing when I first read it. of course it was three in the morning... but point is it was amusing.FlowerChild wrote:Yup, it's the whale that comes into existence in orbit when they first trigger the improbability drive.

Re: Upgrade iron tools to steel
Yeah, I remember back then I actually passed the books to my mom after I was done reading them. She came home one day and told me everyone had been staring at her on the bus because she had burst into uncontrollable laughter when she read that part.Gargantuan_Penguin wrote: that scene was my favorite, I literally couldn't stop laughing when I first read it. of course it was three in the morning... but point is it was amusing.
I think it's a favorite of a lot of folks :)

That jogs the memory, it's been ages since i read Douglas Adams. Wasn't there a flower pot involved as well ? I remember how difficult it was to conceptualize a dyson sphere or planetary construction when i read it i was pretty young.FlowerChild wrote: Yup, it's the whale that comes into existence in orbit when they first trigger the improbability drive.

Yeah, precisely, the flowers were Petunias, and their only thought was "Oh no. Not again."Kazuya Mishima wrote: That jogs the memory, it's been ages since i read Douglas Adams.

Re: Upgrade iron tools to steel
I thought it was when the legendary planet of magrathean activated its defense systems... the whale appeared along with the bowl of petunias, which is actually explained better later...FlowerChild wrote:

I mainly listened to the BBC radio series, they're slightly different, but I read some of the books.
You know you like it when you can recite passages, you know you're addicted when you can recite the credits...

in the last episode of the HGTTG, peter jones was the book, simon jones was arthur dent, and geoffrey mcgivern was ford prefect. Suscan sheridan was trillian, and mark-wing-davey was zaphod beblebrox. etc.

Re: Upgrade iron tools to steel
Back to the previous off topic tangent, I think Jessica Alba violates Minecraft's "No curves" aesthetic.
And I don't want to see her rendered blocky.

I can't decide if I think she should be rendered into Tallow or Glue. She's a little on the thin side.TheAnarchitect wrote:Back to the previous off topic tangent, I think Jessica Alba violates Minecraft's "No curves" aesthetic.

Since I don't even know who that is, I guess I'm well insulated from such influences :)Urian wrote: Nah, people who think Megan Fox is sexy are pop-culutre-media influenced. People who think Jessica Alba is sexy have eyes ;)
Although, after a quick search on google...I'd say either Tallow or Silicon upon rendering. Probably the latter.

Megan Fox is the girl from Transformers. She also has big toes for thumbs.
