In short: Not a good idea to add the toggle. Hardly anyone would use it. In not-so-short: Not a good idea to add the toggle because such a toggle would go ignored by a vast majority of the player base. Just make a mod for it or install one of the existing ones and let it be. Things like this that require the ENTIRE playerbase to change need to benefit the playerbase as a whole, not just a subset of a subset of players. Things that would benefit a handful of players are better suited towards making a mod vs a change to the ENTIRE game played by EVERYONE. The dev work it would take to separate this cleanly and provide a toggle that only affected that without breaking other systems would take dev time away from features that actually matter that the majority of the players want, like... Chapter 3! I know it's not the response that you wanted, but clearly opinions haven't changed since you last brought it up, and I find myself agreeing with the previous dissenters.

I have never used them aside from keeping a pulverizer fed. They have potential, but their inability to sort items prevents me from caring about them beyond the basics.

You will never truly escape copper even when you have steel. Basic tools that you use once in a lifetime should be made from copper before you make them out of iron or steel, but it's also a good source of cheap material for making lanterns. If you are cold, you will burn through food quicker. Eat hot meals by warming them up first and warm yourself up and make the food last longer. Steel-making is a good task for winter since the forges and furnaces keep you warm and thereby lower your food consumption as well. Don't sleep on those quartz veins. They often contain gold! Meteors are easy to find by looking for circular divots in the ground. Suevite is the indicator stone for meteoric iron and will do in a pinch as a ready substitute for making weapons and whatnot before you can make steel. Make more than one spear. Their strength is their longer reach and ability to be thrown. You'll be using them a LOT before you get your first copper weapons.

Hi... hunter here... We weren't nerfed.

Except some people can't resist making it their personal crusade. They've decided AI-assisted work is a great evil, and they'll fabricate evidence to support that conclusion, brand the code as malicious (intentional by the author or not), then push to have it removed. What drives them is simpler than they'd admit: they fear what they don't understand. Isolating the affected mods wouldn't solve anything. There are those who would seek them out anyway, eager to weigh in with opinions that are both uninformed and unwelcome. I've watched them do it, smug and deliberate, carefully wording their objections to walk the line between "expressing displeasure" and "targeted harassment of the creator."

I did it once. And then I divided by zero. Turns out anything is possible when the world has already ended.

I think something that would be beneficial would be incorporate Jonas tech into existing armor, since we can make cupronickel rods and plates, I think it would be a good idea to have some sort of Jonas Armor that combines the protection of regular armor with Jonas tech. Most players won't be able to craft a full suit of it, but if they do, I think it should have the same futuristic vibe/feel that the current Jonas tech does.

Well I'll be.... I had floated this idea and even considered making a mod for it. Glad to see it getting done right and by the actual dev team.

I would prefer for the devs of the game to actually care about it. See: Blizzard Entertainment, Mojang AB, Bethesda Games All three of these companies had one thing in common: Their devs LOVED the games they created. When they stopped, the quality went down.

I'm remembering the time I found the RA buried 5 blocks underground because the area that it generated in was heavily undulated terrain. Even with a map to the location I don't think I would have found it without popping into creative mode and verifying its location.

A glitch effect occasionally showing the original logo underneath would be cool, too.

Sounds like the audio that plays when your temporal stability drops too low. The sound only really plays within the bounds of the archives which are protected from the player doing things like mining and whatnot, otherwise, the generic underground sounds will play. Also the RA sounds don't remind me of millstones grinding until you've fetched the mcguffin and done the thing with it.

So not a bug then...

I think Expanded Foods adds a feature to make Vintage Beef, but it hasn't been updated in a while.

Sounds like you need to pray to the Holy Virgin Probability to intercede for you on your behalf to RNGesus who was born from the Immaculate Algorithm. Light a candle, offer your tribute (one more trap, just one more), and you appeal to the Virgin Probability to put in a good word. She who has never been manipulated, never been modded, never been seeded with a fixed value. Maybe then you'll get a chicken. Or not. Things seem to be fickle like that these days.

https://mods.vintagestory.at/bloodtrail use this until it gets implemented in the base game. Status effects are coming in a future update and I imagine "bleeding" will be one of them.

Why stop at June? LOL Jokes aside, I tried to have a similar conversation a while back. [link] Glad to see others care about the state of the forums, too. The more people talk about it, the better. And as always, if you find someone particularly troublesome to deal with and they aren't breaking any forum rules, feel free to hover their profile picture on their posts and click the Ignore button in the window that pops up. If they ARE breaking the rules, feel free to report them. The moderators are generally fair and quick to respond.

huh

It's never too much to handle. Usually by the time the mod leaves testing (I can thank my co-author for the rigorous amount of testing she puts into it every day!), it's solid enough to stand on it's own without too much fuss. Upkeep is simple, just make sure the mod doesn't crash with game updates and make sure it still functions or wasn't made obsolete by the game updating and adding new features. Support is yours to choose how far you take it. Do you support other mods for compatibility? Do you implement user feature requests? Do you fix bugs that users report, etc, etc. If any of that was too much to handle, the mod wouldn't make it out of my computer and onto the ModDB. Is it fun? Yes. It's always fun making something and then seeing others enjoy it, engage with it in the comments section, suggest new things. I get a hit of dopamine every time I log in and check the mod page and see the download count is higher than ever. My mods may not be super popular and used by everyone, but I enjoy them and I enjoy seeing others use them, too.

CP/M is Control Program for Microcomputers -- considered the grandfather of the modern PC operating system BDOS is Basic Disk Operating System -- a component of CP/M that handled the basic disk input and output MS-DOS is Microsoft Disk Operating System -- a full operating system that was based off QDOS which was inspired by CP/M brb gotta go smack someone who just ate my redmeat pie while I was lying in bed trying to sleep.... IBM-DOS also known as PC-DOS -- what MS-DOS was supposed to be but somehow Microsoft retained the rights to sell it as it's own thing and that changed the computing world forever

This is FAR beyond the topic of the original question, but I do want to point out that Ravens and other corvids have a higher density of neurons in their brains than other animals, which is why brain size is actually a poor predictor of intelligence. Neuron density matters more than neuron count. The count sets the ceiling on what an animal (or human) can potentially learn, but density determines the processing power available to actually do the learning. A large brain with... say a million neurons... can be outperformed by a small brain with half the neurons. Corvids prove the point pretty hard as in your example. Cause-and-effect reasoning, delayed gratification, theory of mind, tool use -- all cognitive benchmarks that many animals with much larger brains fail to meet. Neuron density > brain size. "solely" is doing a lot of work in this sentence, LOL

She's only violent towards pies and crocks of food. and bears.

The other side of this that people aren't seeing is that AI figured out that my custom bootloader and kernel I'm building in Assembly and C as a learning project had a bug where it wasn't disabling blink mode for white backgrounds so when the bootloader ran in Oracle VirtualBox and tried to print text with a white background, the text started to blink. I had no idea this was a thing and was able to grab some code to disable this. QEMU and Bochs had blink mode disabled in the BIOS already, but VBox didn't. I never would have known where to look if it weren't for AI because Stack Overflow didn't have any answers on it and asking lead to a bunch of "this question has already been asked before" comments and my topic was closed. EDIT: What I'm implying but didn't state is that this means that AI is able to reason past things that aren't necessarily black and white taken from coding sites. Because I've searched deep and wide for a solution to that problem and never found anything. I turned to AI out of desperation and it found the issue within...... minutes.

Now is also a good time to remind folks that you can ignore forum users you find troublesome. You can do it by hovering over the user's picture icon and then clicking "Ignore" in the bottom right of the window that pops up.

this is an EXCELLENT use of AI. 10,873,498,712,634% TRUUUUUE. this hurts to read. So much time spent on keeping up with current standards TT_TT If you don't like people rebutting your heated opinions, then don't post them? Pendulums swing both ways until physics says they don't.
