Saying the boss is basically unkillable is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is tuned really high. The upper tiers of players won't have a huge problem with him because his AI is stupid, but his health + damage values will roll someone who hasn't achieved that level of mastery.

I don't think the game could have a big esports following before it's even released.

Awesome work poo dude! Based on what youve seen, is it gonna take a lot of work to get mods up and running again?

Thanks! I don't think it will be necessarily difficult for mods to get back in shape, but it will be tedious and time-consuming. The only difficulty lies in making sense of the changes to the scripting/programming language we've been using, after that's it just going through and updating anything that needs updating (pretty much all of it) to match the current standard. Race mods are in a weird place right now, because we kind of rely on the work of people who made expansions, small mods that actually let our races show up in the race selection screen and be selectable as a player's race, and the people who made the expansion mods are either MIA for the moment or they're being held back by the new code changes.

Im sure some of those modders will come back pretty soon. Kinda surprises me that the functionality for extra races wasnt baked into the standard ui already. But CF is busy working on things, so it may happen eventually.

Yeah probably. Right now I'm just working on sprite stuff, I'm not even going to touch the code until I'm able to actually test it.

Oh godThe context posted:Whilst the mining speed isn't going to be massively sped up, the chance of you finding interesting and varied dungeons, monsters, unique biomes, encounters and so on underground is going to massively increase. Many of these encounters will reward you with additional materials and ores so you'll be forced to mine far less. Once we've created a greater number of these encounters we can raise the chance of you finding them. Why not both?

There's no good reason I can think of for it. It's not 'balance' it's just boring. And I'm sure it'd be trivial to just double the mining speed of every digging tool in the game, just saying 'Mods will fix it' shouldn't be an excuse.

AMooseDoesStuff posted:More stuff is good, yes! They actually did. If you think they didn't make mining faster then you're just bitching without having played the unstable yet. Ore generation got buffed to poo poo and mining speed is about double even without any upgrades. And yeah, sorry, first boss isn't hard. You literally don't even have to fight the guy if you don't want to. If you just run away the literal only path you can take will take you past 3 human npcs who will kill him for you as you run around in a big circle, and if you couldn't figure it out you're a big dumb baby.

On the other hand of that same note, telling me I'm poo poo for not being able to beat something when the version I was playing it on is one where it's completely broken doesn't really make sense. By the way, no, the NPCs could not kill him for me on that update, because their guns were also not doing anywhere near enough damage I think once there was a dude with a rifle who actually could do damage at all but shotty/assault rifle guys couldn't hurt him through the bugged armor.

People like the Jungle in Terraria because it's fun and interesting but it'd be a pain in the dick to mine in. It's almost like the underground should be varied not only in the setpieces that you can encounter but also in how many setpieces there should be in any given area, and that the game should do you the favor of indicating where you're more likely to find weird poo poo and where you can just mine to your heart's content.

Adding more stuff to the underground is a good idea. But so is speeding up mining. Good thing you can do both. Bad thing they won't.
