You have oh so many wonderful moments yet to come! In almost two thousand hours of gameplay, I still enjoy that feeling VS brings.

Interesting. After many hours yesterday of 1.20.1 including much interaction with crates among many players on a small server, no issues were noticed. I'd be intrigued if you could reliably replicate that issue.

I also had zero issues with hosting a 16 hour game yesterday/overnight, thankfully.

Uh-oh. Hopefully this doesn't prove to be a widespread issue, I was planning on hosting a big LAN game this weekend.

Soon™ turned into Now™.

Why did you have to call attention to that?

Great, look at what you did, you guys... Mom had to settle the argument for us.

It seems that way, across many walks of life. I've had people ask me if I've ever heard of VS, if it was really worth the money, was it safe to buy a game not on Steam, etc. in the past few months. Prior to the last few months? Nothing. Admittedly, I've only played since November 2023, but it still makes me smile to see what I believe is increasing widespread interest.

I just tested it, no issues. Right click and hold on the screw to press the mash. Ctrl + right click is no longer how you manipulate the screw on the press. It seemed to only be that way for a couple of release candidates.

Whoa. Tyron, you are an absolute boss. THAT is what a dev serious about having a mod-friendly game looks like.

Niiiiiiiice! That's excellent! I wondered if it was due to spawns in freshly loaded chunks. I hope that includes the clinker brick block that looks all janky! I really want to build something with it.

I'm absolutely stunned that never cropped up for me in an embarrassingly long amount of playtime on 1.19.8 specifically. Is there any way to reproduce the issue? I'm intrigued to know if there's a trigger of some sort.

Very strange! Are you running 1.19.8 or 1.20-rc.6, and vanilla or with mods?

Now you have me wondering how hard it would be to implement making meteoric steel using the existing cementation mechanics. I'll have to dig around and see what I can understand of the code later. Thanks for the idea, this would be a much more entertaining use of meteoric iron than making plain old steel!

Is it perhaps what I did when I first started making pies, and you had already eaten most of it? It doesn't graphically change when there's only a few percent of the serving left.

Well, now. I never thought of that, and I like your idea far more than mine! I just somehow always seem to end up with tons of meteoric iron and not enough regular iron without intending to, which is what led me to my suggestion. But meteoric steel? I'm picturing something cooler and bluer: versus the original Which would look like this in-game:

As the title says, I was surprised that I could only use plain iron in the cementation furnace to make steel. Just a thought!

Yes! Ugh. I've done it - that hurts.

As the title says, it would be a slick use of in-game assets to allow for using the T1/2/3 refractory bricks in making bloomeries that return nearly all or all of the bricks on breaking apart.

From the rc.5 update: I couldn't get this to work with either solid iron trapdoors or iron doors. Which solid metal doors would be used in this instance? I was hoping perhaps it was a bug/an issue, and would be resolved in rc.6.

The refractory kiln was added in 1.20-rc.1, and was the only beehive kiln until -rc.5 until fire clay was added as an option. The one I built in -rc.2 still functions. Edit: Actually was it 1.20-pre that added the beehive kiln? 1.20, either way.

No recipe shows in the handbook for me, I'll look again. Edit: 1.20.0-rc.5, no handbook recipe, and setting it up like the refractory brick kiln door doesn't work in the crafting grid either.

I just found that the firebrick kiln door doesn't yet have a recipe.

You've managed to do that with pure zinc? I can never get it to stop shattering, where my copper chisels and hammers work very well once I've degassed the molten mix via CuP grains and done the usual work hardening. I'm intrigued!

From .pre-13: Gigantic relief. Don't get me wrong, rebalancing is fine! But that was a sudden, shocking change, with no other changes associated with it. Huge news for spear enjoyers!
