Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
So, It took me longer then I am happy to admit to figure out how to semi-consistently survive the first couple of nights, but I think I've found two game mechanics that don't seem to have been mentioned yet (though one of them may be unintended?).

If you place them quickly, you can break dirt slightly faster by placing a stick under it as it falls, like you could with torches and sand

One of the best BTW reaction videos yet. I recommend not watching unless you've already made your first iron tool to avoid spoilers:

I have a question about that first iron tool:
Spoiler
Show
Now that axes can get string from spider webs, other than crafting tables, and getting through webs faster are the chisels useful for anything later in the game? I was actually a little disappointed in the axe change. It looks like it takes a lot longer than the chisel, but now that I have a crafting bench and stone picks they don't seem as useful
Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
I'm having trouble figuring out some midgame recipes in my old world.

How do I make smooth stone? Crucible doesn't work anymore for that, nor does a furnace or harcore packing. Is there still a way to make smooth stone? So yes, how?

you can mine smooth stone with a chisel - take a look at the hint thread

Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
It didn't read well at all. I watched player after player in streams try to harvest webs with the right tool, but give up before harvest because the relative speeds on different tools communicated the exact opposite information to them. I may do something more with that down the road as time allows, but for now, it made no sense to keep it as is.jackatthekilns wrote:I was actually a little disappointed in the axe change.

I also realized that the iron chisel has more use cases so I'm not as bothered. I also still used it on a web when I had an axe because it was faster

Yup, they do. Previously, they didn't, so they'd act as an upgrade to stone axes. Now that's obviously not necessary.jackatthekilns wrote:do iron axes.lose durability

Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
Alright, finally started a proper world from scratch. Here's my findings:
Spoiler
Show
I'm at dusk of day 2, 14 pieces of food, no real issues so far, smooth ride. Once you know the recipes, I actually think this is not that hard, compared to earlier. It does feel way more streamlined and less easy to get over the initial hump. By now I would probably be mining for iron already, it feels like I've got at least a week to go to get there. I way overprepared for this :D
I'm loving it so far man, this is brilliant :)

On a few stone blocks:

Is there any way to get regular cobblestone, or get smoothstone in large quantities without chiseling around every single one? I usually dump 8-12 stacks of cobblestone into crucibles at a time to build with, and use almost as much cobblestone in my builds. If I can't do that anymore I'm going to be sorely disappointed in the impact on my ability to make aesthetic builds.

You can get regular cobblestone and bricks in the world by placing the loose versions and then adding clay to serve as mortar. I haven't figured out how to get them back into my inventory though (which is actually a big problem because it means I still can't use them to build ceilings)
Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
so I fumbled through a few milestones by looking at the hints FC dropped alone, but now I am stumped:

is the brick oven only for ores? or does it need a special fuel? I have been trying to put all kinds of shafts/sawdust/bark/etc. in to cook food, and no luck

Unfortunately, it still doesn't fix the whole issue because without picking it up you can't craft walls, stairs, or slabs until after getting a block dispenser.hawk wrote:There may be another, easier, solution but...Veracity wrote:dawnraider wrote:On a few stone blocks:SpoilerShowYou can get regular cobblestone and bricks in the world by placing the loose versions and then adding clay to serve as mortar.

How do you get dirt blocks that don't fall down? All I've been able to make are loose ones.

Hardcore packing. 4 piles to make regular dirt, 2 loose dirt to make packed earth.

Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers
I know. I'm sure that's not intended (other than maybe for mass generation). I'm hoping someone smarter than me has figured out (and will share) the better, easier, solution.Unfortunately, it still doesn't fix the whole issue because without picking it up you can't craft walls, stairs, or slabs until after getting a block dispenser.
