hahahaā¦ thanks for the summary! 
i would suggest posting questions for the stream here, but iām not sure how many we could collect in regards to roads/travel, etc. 
so, how about we all use this thread to post any and all SH related questions, that @Tom may be able to cover in the streamā¦
see you all on the stream tonight!

love the updateā¦ its crazy how something so (seemingly) simple adds so much to the gameā¦
and the x-ray mode looks very useful now as well!

Will the mason unlock stone buildings and paths? I.e. Will we have to have a mason to be able to build stone roofs etc? Or will we be allowed to build stone buildings without him?

Either it will be this alpha as he did say something along the lines of. With a a few surprises. or itāll be next update so they can implement larger animals cough cough yaks cough cough
note the update is still at least a couple weeks down the road. (he said next year, which means in January)

Is it possible to have another x-ray view with both underground and above ground visible at the same time (buildings / people / materials / farm- stockpilezones)?
minus trees and surface (grass)

These questions of mine are from the Mason thread we had earlier, just in case weāre not going to be looking at it again for tonight! Apologies for re-posting, but there were quite a few I had regarding the new Mason class:
As for new, non-Mason questionsā¦
Is it possible to remove the curb from parts of a road to allow āaccess pointsā for structures or places the road naturally tapers off?
Are you still planning to reduce the size of the curb, or will the current size remain the standard setting for now?

i believe @Tom mentioned this when he was first showing these off (that the height may very well be adjusted)ā¦ i would agree that having them perhaps half the existing height might provide a better aestheticā¦
Canāt wait to see if Tom will talk about what these are. 
I know the one on the right is the Shepard Stick.

I was also wondering about that?
and does anyone know if the sheep will come along with the shepherd because of the pen icon, I would love to be a player totally dependent on animals, trapper and shepherd instead of farmer.

Sadly, I donāt think Iām going to be able to watch this streamāfor some inexplicable reason, my connection to Twitch is shot at the moment. I canāt get the channel to load! Has anyone else been having this difficulty recently?
Itās likely for the best, since Iām busy grading papers before the end of the week. Being a GTAās quite busyā¦ Needless to say, Iām looking forward to next weekend, and whenever the stream gets uploaded!
sorry youāre having problemsā¦ I think I had issues at work, but Twitch loaded just fine from the home officeā¦
