This is a serious problem, yeah. It seems to affect the biggest pieces MORE than smaller ones, which makes it even worse. For the iron tongs in my current world I had to reheat 'em, I think it was three times, to get the last voxel in place; At least once I didn't get to do anything to it at ALL; I pulled the 750-degree work item off the forge, tried to put it on the anvil and it wouldn't go because "too cold to work."

So, I started building my usual windmill tower to 170, and above altitude 140 (~30 above ground) things got LESS temporally stable? Is this going to be everywhere now?

Un-mentioned QoL improvement: surface borax bits are now MUCH more visible. Look at this thing!

What, no war elephants? Don't you know this game is literally unplayable without war elephants?!? Seriously, daaang that's a lotta content+, and an impressive new release.

A thing I'm kind of wondering about is whether the guts of the dungeon generation system are available for modders. In an ideal world, "Better Dungeons" would be entirely plausible. Or add a couple of block types and make a mod for crashed alien spaceships.

It's because she's friends.

...wait, there's been a specific command to put toilet paper on Tyron this WHOLE TIME? OMG, the missed opportunities.

And yet it works all the way across a given geome, and I successfully exploit it when I go hunting small-disc ores. I once found a field of ilmenite discs several hundred blocks wide, all of them in the peridotite at 60, and in the higher slate stratum at 75-- didn't even WANT that much, just needed to see if it was happening for real.

I see a couple things here, so I'm'a drag them together.. This is because limonite only shows up at the top layers (chert, shale, basalt). All of the sedimentary-only ores give much lower numbers and descriptors than you would normally expect, because the reading for them in 90% of the rock column is zero! Also applies to coal, borax, lapis.. a couple other things maybe? If you go back to your mined-out ore disc, dig a lil' tunnel out maybe half a dozen blocks in a cardinal direction, and from there dig out some further one-block-high holes four blocks further and nodesearch at the ends of those, you will almost always find more. Ore gets placed in *fields* of discs, all at the same level. Sometimes they get shoved up or down by a block or two because the surface topography shoves the rock column up and down a little, but no further. This even works with iron; I once found three hematite discs in a row, right next to each other, and if there were anything I wanted to do with five or six hundred iron ingots I'd be in business.

They've been doing that, I think, forever. Bright light just doesn't bother them.

Yep, this is the thing that happens now. Time to start using bloomeries for this, which have their own annoyances but are now *much* more efficient than a firepit.

Long, cold winters are just.. boring, unless you've got some particular indoorsy project like making a statue of Kermit the Frog.

My understanding is that brown bears became about 5% faster in 1.22, so just running in a straight line works poorly. The ways I know to dodge bears are to run past trees right next to them (the bear has to go around), dig a 1-block-wide pit 3 blocks deep and stand at the bottom, or go up a 4-block-high nerdpole.

You can make the black leather face mask, that uses up two whole leather bits AND makes you look like you're working on the whole gimp suit!
