Maelstrom

Especially bad since bauxite is not an ore bearing rock layer.

That poll was posted 2 years ago and I believe armor has changed since then.

I think I burned half of one pro-pick learning how to find ores. Then again, I watched some videos and did some research in that process to deal with the frustration.

Perhaps I should have added a *YMMV (your mileage may vary) disclaimer?

That is one benefit of a steep learning curve. The sense of accomplishment for overcoming a difficult challenge is unmatched!

I believe that you can stand on top of a stack of firewood as you're stacking and ride it up. I haven't tried it with a full block, but I recall being elevated when stacking wood directly below sometime ago and assume it would continue to propel you up and wood continually gets stacked underneath.

Consider that the post was almost 3 years ago, I doubt you'll get a response from the OP

Welp. I don't have a clue why your walk speed is so low. Maybe that game is cursed? /snark off

May I refer you to my post from May 19 regarding animal remains near geothermal pools?

Is one of those mods Carry On? If so, have you put a clay pot or chest on your back you've forgotten about?

Additionally, does anyone else find it curious how common suevite deposits occur? Seems like some of the catastrophe that happened wasn't limited to just the planet, but also (at least) it's near vicinity in space.

Implementation has not happened yet. Maybe part of the 1.19 dejank redux update that is forthcoming in the next 3-4 months.

Relieving/quarrying ore blocks have only decorative purposes, unless used for transporting and mining for ore at home.

One way to find out for sure. Wait for a storm to hit.

Go to the news forum and read Tyron's posts, maybe?

Does it spin at a constant speed? Is the time between changes in speed predictable? What amount of power does it produce, 0.1 horsepower won't accomplish much. Basically: just because it spins eternally doesn't mean it is a useable source of mechanical power.

Game breaking would depend on cost to construct generator and probably more importantly, how long does a temporal gear last as fuel.

To add to my idea. Waterwheel itself should take up a 5 block diameter and 2 block width but also require at least water measuring at least 3 block width, 2 block depth and 5 block length. If you want to try and fill that kind of pool, I wish you luck for it will be exceedingly frustrating to accomplish. I recently made a pool to grow reeds in which was just 1 block deep and had an exceedingly difficult time with it. Increase that to two blocks and the frustration factor increases geometrically. It would be much better to find a suitable place pond, lake or other natural body of water. Want to maximize water wheel power? find a small island on a large lake, but then you'll be travelling to your farm.

I don't have an issue with it. And I think most people are similar. I think a lot of the problem is with what is the size of an ingot. I think the default thought on an ingot is the traditional gold bar that's 12 inches long, and roughly 6 inches high and deep. What if VS ingots are smaller? Are knives really pairing knives, or are they more of carving / butcher knife?

I think cut pies stack to 32 (equivalent to 8 whole pies). Haven't cooked pies in a while, so I could be wrong.

Yes, waterwheels is on the roadmap but so is improved water mechanics in the same bullet point. I suspect Tyron would like to have flowing rivers in terrain generation in connection to waterwheels. I recall him mentioning sometime in a post that rivers are really hard to generate. I would like to see waterwheels implemented even if the mechanic is dramatically modified in the future; but the roadmap seems to indicate that waterwheels are waiting for the desired water mechanics.

yes!

If waterwheels were to be implemented in 1.19. I wouldn't mind if they were large (5 block diameter like windmills), but gives low and consistent power - say equivalent to 20% wind speed thus limiting maximum of 4 water wheels (on a small island in a lake btw) to a single big gear and total power of 80% windspeed. The large size would limit how many could be connected to a single big gear. Could easily gate a waterwheel hub item behind bronze level tools. Those parameters feels like it would fit well with windmills (and encourage development of wind powered mechanisms.

But that takes all the fun challenge out of the game. Might as well just play that other block game, what's it called? Minesoft?

If livestock are chasing you, it's easy. Set the pen up first with a dirt "ramp" that tops the fenced pen. Run into the pen, then through the gate on the opposite side, turn and close gate. Presto! caged animals for breeding.
