    Digging into/out of the water

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to blfonsworth's topic in General Discussion

    This is similar to Minecraft, where water would act like this if it didn't have a floor to "flow" onto. If you want more fluidity, ask them to add a much more complex fluid model, though don't be surprised if the game performance takes a decent hit. I think this is pretty cool, IMHO.

    What is your favourite survival food ?

    So breeding is done by simply having two or more of the same type mob close to one another? If that's the case, then I'll have to start experimenting.

    OR nutrition... I remember a mod in Minecraft that forced you to have to eat different foods or you couldn't fill your hunger bar. "Spice of Life" I think the mod was called. It was the most realistic eating mod simulation in any game I've seen to date. With all the different foods in Ylands, there's got to be some incentive to make different foods. Also about cultivating more than just veggies and plants there needs to be more content... like raising animals for their...

    Grow "Grass" to eliminate dirt "spots" on map - Beautification!

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Ethan Gordon Wilson's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    The problem with the shovel is that there's a limit to how much flattening can be done with the tool - areas that are too high or low from the leveling plane - which force you to use other tools to flatten the area, which in turn exposes dirt or forces you to place dirt, leaving the dirt color. In my OP picture, notice the brown area to the lower left; that's where I had to add dirt to raise the ground level to meet the rest of my foundation area.

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Ethan Gordon Wilson's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    The biggest issue I have with this is in applications of landscaping. Making strip mines and clearing areas for placing a foundation isn't the issue as I'm usually not making living space in that area or am planning to cover it up anyways

    What sorcery is this?? Crafting potions affect planting? I must see this!

    First spawn should be a random yland

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Excelsior's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    Interesting. I wonder if the editor can assign spawn points to each player that logs in?

    Suggestion: Improved World Ore Generation

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Ethan Gordon Wilson's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    I like the idea of random (broken) ylandium items lying around to recycle!

    [Suggestion] Build inside the ships (make ships hollow)

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to InvictusESP's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    Strange, I knew I posted in here this morning, but it dropped. I'll post it again: I've learned to free-place chests and cabinets into the deck of the shop hull, leaving just the top of it visible, allowing access to storage, but not taking up any precious living space on the topside. I'll post a picture of it when I get back home later.

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Excelsior's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    So each player has their own designated spawn location? That is nice! My only concerns are these: 1) Some players will have better spawns depending on the biome they spawn into. 2) This shouldn't be a default, but an option at world creation time.

    Suggestion: Improved World Ore Generation

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Ethan Gordon Wilson's question in Suggestions & Feedback

    Yes, balance is key, though where is there balance in a map where there's one player, versus a map that hosts over a dozen, and Ylandium is scarce all around? Veins seem large, if you're playing SP, but in an MP environment that vein may barely support the demand of the player population. Some maps seem to generate a lot of Ylandium (one writer mentioned having plenty of Ylandium ore to spare after making all the ylandium items) where another...

    Need help with the lights

    Ethan Gordon Wilson replied to Vokurka's topic in General Discussion

    You could use glowing mushrooms for bias lighting, tracing the walkways. You may even be able to place them underneath the piers, for lighting the water. Give it a try.

    Can you elaborate? I don't understand.
