Maelstrom

Looks like a bug.

@PhotriusPyrelus I never said it was fun, just realistic. I agree that some realistic things are fun but other realistic things are decidedly UNfun. That unfun factor can vary between players. On this topic I'm undecided. I would get frustrated (i.e. not fun) finding a dead wild fruit tree, but I don't think it would be unfun for me either. If I could have iron doors sealing charcoal pits like they do coke furnaces, I would happily take dying wild fruit trees.

THIS!!!

It's pretty realistic though. Last year my area had a late snow storm (mid May) that killed mature established trees.

That obsidian creation through that mechanic may still exist, but the water mechanics have DEFINITELY changed now that partial blocks can be waterlogged. Changes to the obsidian generator pictured will likely be required.

i get the not a lot of time to play as I'm in that same boat. Sounds like you may want to investigate some of the backpack mods that increase your capacity to carry items without a chest.

Better to have the conversion to a soil block happen when dug up with a shovel. The only time I want farmland blocks back is when I'm digging them up to relocate them. It would be a pain to "untill" the farmland only to have to dig it up.

Make it local lore? On the planet seraphs inhabit there's temporal storms, unlike earth. Perhaps whatever caused the temporal storms and rifts also altered the moon's orbit to be highly elliptical?

There is a mod that converts farmland to soil when you dig up farmland blocks.

Only problem is that in reality alcohol expedites death by exposure while numbing the person to the discomfort. In game you wouldn't suffer cold damage until you suddenly die. This would create many loud complaints from players.

you are correct. Minerals, plants, traders and pretty much anything not specifically geography (aka landscape) based is random. @PhotriusPyrelus this is why there isn't a seed thread. Pretty much any resource everyone is looking for is going to be different for each instance of the same seed. Pretty much the one thing that people want variety on is the landscape.

Same reason why fruit can be consumed when the hunger bar is full yet provide no benefit.

I consider the granite rock formations something like stonehenge. The aren't ruins exactly, but they aren't natural formations either.

That would most definitely be a bug!

Hmmmm.... Gateway to Cthulhu perhaps?

Have fun collecting 50 shells to make a full barrel of limewater. An unpleasant alternative is to grind marble into lime if limestone or chalk strata aren't found but shale is.

To my knowledge the base game ruins are unchanged in 1.18.x other than the rock strata used. The large one with arches (I call them cathedrals) have always been rarer than pretty much all of the other ruins I've found.

I see both perspectives. Make sprinting a toggleable setting. Activate sprint mode and release the key(s) but continue sprinting until sprint mode is de-activated. Also leave sprint mode as a deadman switch as it currently is for those situations it is needed, like caving.

Animals in real life don't die close to geo-thermal pools as they stay away from them (there's nothing to benefit them). Otherwise, spot on!

Not size but behavior. Build an adjacent pen and chase the offspring into the empty pen. Do the same with chickens, but it will be the adults that get relocated.

Report it in the bug tracker.

I have seen that during streams. The hard to read font is intentional and something like the altered speech when drunk.

This space intentionally left blank?

Think I'll stick with my animal husbandry. Keep that meat fresh until I'm ready to kill a half dozen sheep or pigs and cook an ungodly amount of meals.

And here I've been chasing the immature offspring through gates to segregate them from the soon to be harvested older generation. Do you mean they'll self-segregate? I would like to name aminals so that they don't despawn in my zoo though. Especially the more predatory ones.
