A post was split to a new topic: UI error on show team workshop
A post was merged into an existing topic: [new_builder] In game error including “I really thought this was impossible.”
I really like this game. Let me give a simple review.
I was drawn to the game because you get to build a community. I like City Builders and RTS games. The personality and crafting and surviving was not something I have found before in a City Building game. The fact that the game is voxel based lets you do some much. It really feels like the Hearthlings know where they are. That they are sleeping inside. Inside not just a predetermined house but a house you made out of blocks. They are somehow able to know that the blocks come together to make a structure. It is great.
I noticed the game at Alpha 19. I think that is when I bought it too. I watched some youtube videos then I dove in.
Civilization games must have water. It must play an integral role. Think about the “fertile cresent” the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The ancient Sumerians lived there. And also the Nile. I live in Alabama where there used to live primitive Native Americans. My family owns about 500 acres with a creek running through it and a river close by. You can find arrow heads and broken pottery around the river and the creeks. But the farther away from water you get the less and less pottery and arrow heads you find. That is why I had to go out and find the CAFE MOD which adds water as a survival requirement a “need” if you will. AND Archipelago biome mod. Which does things like add a fisherman.
I was plugging along loving the game I believe on Alpha 22 when I built my second unique buliding and the hearthlings couldn’t finish the building due to bugs. I researched and found out that a new builder was coming and I quit. I tried the Rictey building unstable and the builder seems so much better. But I did find problems which you already mentioned.
BTW I love the snow, rain, and wind! The titans sound exciting!
YOU REALLY must do more with water maybe an aqueduct. You need some way to get fish. I am looking forward to the release.
Thanks,
Zach
P.S. This is my first post.

@jamiltron I was in the middle of building a rather large building and undead spawned inside. Next day stonelings popped right next to the building and 3 wolves showed up close to it as well. Do buildings built with the new builder not expand our safety zone?

Stacking crates is possible. but you have to first place the top row in the world, and then move them onto already existing crates. (a box stash is always the first thing i make so all my stuff isnt just lying about in giant honking piles)

It should. Was it happening during a foggy storm, or just in general?

It should be. Are you seeing otherwise?

Just a question really but while designing the new road tool is there any possibility to get it to work similar to the ladder tool right now? I don’t particularly mind if the roads still cost Stone to build but I tend to alter my road layout fairly often and having them linked to a particular building is a little problematic, even if that “building” is just my roads.
Personally would feel much happier if roads were placed on top of tiles or even zoned out like farms.
More of a thought than anything else I suppose.

Yeah. I tried to start playing Rayyas, and their wall-mounted oil lamps keep falling. Accursed gravity.

Will we be able to paint on the roof eventually ?

does this only work for items placed during the design of the building, or also if you make a building “shell”
with holes in the right places and place doors and windows etc. after? (especially doors did not like it if you made a shell and placed a door after)
Nope wasn’t foggy and was a regular pack of undead, one skelly and a couple zombies. Then had stonelings pop literally right next to the building.
