Yag definitely needs big buffs, by the time you get to him you can basically 100% tank him even fighting 'fair' our fourth boss got from his biome into the plains and then into our base, which made him much harder and also much more awesome to fight. We also triggered him before bonemass even. In retrospective Moder was the hardest boss overall for our playthrough. Yagluth felt just slightly spongy after that fight. I found the progression starting with bonemass could use some improvement overall. Due to the dot lock from the mountains, they are way more repelling as the soft "hard enemies" lock from the plains. I did much more in the plains before going into the mountains as they are just easier to reach and approach. So maybe just make Yag the 4th boss and Moder the 5th

xzzy posted:It would take about 3 seconds for your player created world to be full of dicks. First, so what? IRL is full of dicks too, nothing wrong with penises everywhere and people actually taking the time to creatively craft dongs everywhere is a good sign and it means there are others making more impressive things as well. Second, just not really. A more likely problem would just be destructive, wanton, chaos if allowed. A landscape of dicks will probably be more interesting than the majority of something like Minecraft's 2b2t anarchy server, which is mostly a wasteland devoid of any normally destructible block, punctuated by structures taking advantage of a peculiarity of the old version to preserve original structures in bizarre waterfall cubes around the entire thing. There are plenty of games with editible worlds that manage to create worlds that don't descend into penis or void chaos. You can also kind of just already do this separately in some of those games, you can download worlds other people have crafted, or visit their world directly. I think even something as hacky as making a "server list" actually exist in-game via space travel or some contrivance would go a long way to creating the illusion of a persistent universe an individual can make a tangible, visible, and shareable impact in it. If nothing else, I hope the game ultimately ends with us making a ship made of toenails gathered from our own corpses, that lets us sail into the sky and into other player's worlds to check out their towns and erotic ogre sculptures.

I saw that eggs can respawn after 480 minutes. Does someone need to be logged on the server for this to count or can I just come back in 8 hours to a new egg on a persistent server?

I do not understand ironwood. I can build an ironwood pole and put stone on top of it, but if I try to keep the stone aligned on a grid the stone is no longer supported by vertical beams so I need to build horizontal ironwood beams. And for some reason I can't just use one ironwood beam to support a stone block.  If I use any 1 of those horizontal joists it doesn't support stone, but if I use all 3 it does. Do I just need 3 horizontal for each stone? There is no point building more vertical beams because they do not support the stone if I keep them aligned to the grid, I have to have horizontal beams even in the corner where the vertical ironwood should be supporting the stone. This would have been so much easier with just stone.

I can build stone floors on single horizontal ironwood beams and if one floor block breaks it will suddenly consider itself supported if I build some of the other floor blocks around it without changing the ironwood.

Yeah I think I'm just gonna collapse the whole thing and go with stone, looks better and I can make a taller roof.  Do leviathans move? I found one right off the coast from spawn, not sure if I should leave him alone as a cool landmark near spawn.

Sanctum posted:I went with MassFarming and I would recommend it to anyone using mods. You can hold shift and harvest/plant a large area of one type of crop. You will use up the total amount of stamina each individual action would use, it only removes the tedium of individually planting crops. As someone with a messy farm on bumpy terrain I've had no issues with the grid placement. after farting around planting carrots and turnips I'm breaking down and adding this, man what a nuisance. e: wow even if you don't use it for farming at all (but it's very good for that) it also does mass shroom/berry picking too, nice mod Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Apr 18, 2021 |

Nice little update! https://steamcommunity.com/games/892970/announcements/detail/5411613798265437193 quote:This was a long one! This patch has been taking extra long time to develop due to the new terrain-modification system. The new terrain modification system is made to reduce the number of network instances and make loading faster and smoother. Technically it’s a pretty big change but hopefully you should not notice that much of a difference except some minor behaviour changes to the hoe and pickaxe and of course much smoother loading of areas with a lot of terrain modifications. All terrain modifications after this patch (using the hoe, pickaxe or cultivator) will automatically use the new modification system. For existing areas where heavy terrain modifications have been made before this patch we have added a special console command “optterrain” that basically converts all the old terrain modifications in the nearby area to the new system. To use the “optterrain” console command, you first need to enable the ingame console by adding “-console” as a launch argument for the game.

Thankfully that new command works for dedicated servers. I was going to be annoyed if it was a local-only cheat and I had to copy the save to my PC to fix manually. It didn't instantly revolutionize my FPS but then again my server doesn't have any ridiculous mega constructions.

Does it change the terraforming at all when you execute it? I was leaning toward not using it unless I was having fps issues in an area because I was afraid something would shift slightly and suddenly a wall comes down because something is no longer grounded.

Nice! That patch seems great for longevity and doing it now is a good idea. Hopefully newer content comes along soon but I'm still in the swamps so I've got plenty of time. Also reducing the stone for raising the ground is a nice touch.

I ran around an old base on my first world we abandoned for the fps issues it caused and used the optterrain command. My fps went from around 25 to 30 (I pull 70-90 in undeveloped areas) but the really noticeable thing was no random freezing for insane amounts of terraforming to load while moving around.

punishedkissinger posted:New update seems to fix terrain killing framerate! It's a good sign that they took care of a foundational problem before building more on top of it - I can only assume this would have been much harder had they kept it on the back burner. It's not popular with some people who wanted more content sooner, but I think it will prove to be the right choice in the long run. I did my conversions and it did reduce my instance count with no repercussions, but I read in a few places that some people who used third-party tools to mod the landscape had some unusual artifacts and land shapes left behind. Still, once it's converted in most cases it seems to be a minor bit of work to put the land back how it was, and the upside is tremendous.

Fixes like this is what I like to see in early access games. Stuff like minor balance (tweaking weapon damage) feels empty and kind of a "why are you wasting time on this" and just dumping out content expansions ends up leaving glaring problems in the dust.

Cutting the ability to raise rock to your level by clicking the corner of the rock you’re standing on stinks but leveling land got a bit of a buff so maybe it balances my time.

Luckily, at our 3 main setlements we didn't need to do much terraforming outside of smoothing the existing terrain out just a bit, and the canals we've dug are short, but even at home base the change seems noticeable.

The terrain optimization definitely helps a bit but it wont save bases that are crazy laggy. Our main base went from 22k instances to around 14k instances and it definitely helped as the base was almost unplayable but its still at like 15fps, just consistent and no horrible loading freezes.

I made a lighthouse because is it even a base if it doesn't have one? Plus that small peninsula was just begging for it. The spiral around it is individually placed 1m wood blocks to make a climbable but dangerous staircase around the outside.  It sucks that I have to leave a gaping hole in the platform around the fire but the stairs have to end somewhere and give access to the fire.  Pretty happy with it overall. The wider base is round too; there's 4 faux support thingies sticking out from the base that make it not look round in screenshots.
