    Dezoom for map

    At the regular zoom level, yes. Zoomed all the way out to see all the islands at once? That detail's not needed at that level.

    Suggestion - Map merging

    When you start Creative Mode, and it asks about the name and type of island, you can click "Advanced" at the bottom, and then choose to have more than 1 island, and some other details like what size they should be.

    RESOLVED Remove the energy streams completely.

    Builders like options. I like the idea of getting to choose if the stream is visible or not, and even how it shows. Having a choice of making it look like a physical power line could come in handy. (Maybe that option could be accessed through the Linker, where you choose which kind of link you want?)

    Sleeping

    Yes, this. And I like the idea of being able to craft some simple ways to tell time, from a sundial up to actual clocks. Maybe a pocket watch that can be equipped and looked at like the map is. I find myself hitting "~" in every single game I play, just to have some idea of when the sun's going to go down, so I can find shelter when I need to.

    Another funny screenshot thread...

    I have the water. Now I just need to build a pool around it. Nah. Who needs walls anyway? (In case you're wondering: I built a pool, filled it with water, then destroyed the walls and floor with the Annihilator. It stayed like this until I shot it with water from the Terraformer.)

    Placing blocks.

    If you press and hold G, then it will show arrows. Click Right mouse button to change the arrow direction, and use the mouse to move along the direction you have selected.

    A quick search turned up this handy reference:

    [SUGGESTION] sk.Ylands

    This could be fun to have in the game sometime in the future, after they get the main game working right. Could be an expansion, or even version 2.0 (I was confused by the title too. Almost expected a suggestion about Spyro the Dragon.) Just last night in creative mode I tried putting a ship steering wheel and a Ylandium engine on some floating platforms. It didn't work, but it would have been awesome if it did. It's okay, we can still load up ships with lots of engines and zoom around the oceans like crazy people.

    Dezoom for map

    It goes without saying, when we offer suggestions for ways the game could work, that they actually fix the core pieces first. Before the map can do any of those things, yes, first it needs to work on a basic level. In fact, this is the best time to make big requests, since they might be working on the core mechanics of it, and they can add in those features or the components they need to add it later. A couple more thoughts about the map (I'm still learning the Editor, so if I suggest something already there, just let it slide. I'm sure I'll find it later.): - As a tool for Creative mode, add the ability to reveal the entire map all at once one way or another. Could be an option on the map that's only available if you have the Cube, or a special map that can't be crafted, only accessed through the catalog. - In the editor, add an option whether or not to show pre-built structures on the map. If I've built a story that includes a village on one side of the island, maybe I'd like that village to show on the map, you know? - Maybe add a new map type: Map Fragment. Can't be crafted, just added through the editor. It would only be able to show part of the map, and be an instant full reveal. Would be useful for mystery scenarios with hidden locations.
  10. Vehicle Bounds includes the height. I would guess the large mast is exactly as tall as the max height, and it goes too high if you put something under it.

    Dezoom for map

    I agree, and a few more thoughts about the map. 1. It would be nice to be able to zoom back (or click a button) and see all the discovered islands without scrolling. To keep the mystery of things we haven't found yet, just fit the known islands to the page. No detail needed for it, just maybe line art outlines of each explored land mass in a vintage map style. 2. I would like to be able to name the islands. 3. Would be nice to be able to mark locations on the map. Need be carrying something to write with, of course. But I'd like to mark where my buildings, caves, and other interesting things are located.
