I dunno about you guys, but I don't really have an issue with the snow. It doesn't pile up high enough to impede travel or exiting my buildings, so I'm fine. Now, were we to MAKE that a problem, letting the snow pile up more like Charcoal without as much of an angle of repose, that'd be something.

Great, MORE things to go wrong exclusively in the winter. I can see it now, waking up one morning and you're frozen into the house, having to bash the door a few times or really get the place cookin before you can pry yourself from an ice-encased prison, the ice having formed saltpeter-like layers around all naked surfaces and making it a bear to access literally anything you've left outside as it's held fast to the ground or nearby structure. We already have the annoying 10-degree thaw/frost cycles of early spring, let's throw tornados into it as well, so it REALLY feels like I never escaped Michigan.

That's a good point, as well, since chiseled blocks typically drop THEMSELVES exclusively (much to my chagrin on finding A WHOLE BRONZE BELL...which was subsequently unmeltable)

Well, I guess we're about to find out if Tyron et al patrol the forum. Because that's the only guy I can think of that would grasp this, hahaha. Good luck, bud.

Well, chai would require spice/leaf blending, but i don't see why we couldn't do the full range of coffee...uh...mixtures? Yknow, types. However, we all know the true end-game drink would be the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Here we go Wassailing? Oh boy, is there a new thread, just opened up for you! Fresh back from the graveyard!

See, I've been gifted with particularly bizarre tastebuds, so while I, too, am particular with my coffee, I somehow enjoy most of the bitter notes up to yet just shy of that "unregulated $10 CoffeeMate 300 degree water for a minute and a half steep" type burny nastiness. I use a kettle wired to just barely boil water. That and I experiment with additives. Still like it mostly black. Dash of cocoa. PS: The grind size thing is I don't like feeling like I'm drinking sand. Espresso grind sticks to the sides and bottom of my hourglass-shaped mug, so it stays down there. The bigger stuff floats.

She gets it.

Nah, I'd drink.

Personally, I'd just go with some fine-ground straight into a cup, Turkish style.

So, it would be caused by two of the most nutritious things you can consume in-game, and be solved by a thing that causes a new problem You must be an MD.

We are both playing the same game, yes? Where it takes like four hours to make a board? Where it takes in-game WEEKS to make leather?

Toolsmith.

Vintage Den Den Mushi? I'm for it.

Necro to updoot, as I just had this thought as well.

Necro for relevant question: Does anybody know if "Titanium Plate" is in the vanilla code? Because I've got a weird, bugged out iron bloom that went STRAIGHT to forging a Plate, but the Plate classes as Titanium Plate (on a Black Bronze anvil, no less), so I can't make it an ingot anymore AND I can't add another ingot to make an iron plate. If it's an otherwise unimplemented entity in the vanilla code, I'll submit an Issue Ticket, but if it's from my mods, I'll have to get back to digging. Update: So, the helve hammer finished it. Now I have a titanium plate. It has a model and everything. Uhh...

Sure, however, those can be gated behind Mode/Challenge option panel, they are grand, sweeping change sets. Much like the "Advanced settings" buttons for many Graphics sections of games. Vastly simplifying the config menu landscape.

Yes, but that would defeat the purpose of the player having ever SELECTED the game mode in the first place, so that's kind of a moot point. I mean, would it though? It would simply be adding one more thing to the Game Mode dropdown, at its most basic level. Then, upon choosing, it would open up further options. Maybe.

Ooo, yeah we should get oil. I'd love to see Tyron's hands get ahold of the refinery process.

I mean, that's just life. Know almost anything about living = avoid most disease, yet get trounced by the Common Cold or Flu every winter. RE:OP I like this concept, but that's a DEEP transition, as you've already stated. I think the "but muh inv!" crowd can be placated by specialized bags, much like Maltiez' new Quiver/Sheathe mod tucks away our ammo and weapons to free up some precious squares. Because we need to keep in mind, during this thread, OP is talking FUTURE FUTURE, so we can broad-stroke a sort of roadmap towards such a system. However, my two cents: If the system became this in-depth and deleterious, I'd want some kind of "repellant" system to at least mitigate SOME of the early-game bum-rushing that happens when you're starting out. Just something to keep the onesey twosies from pinging us to death in the woods in broad daylight before we have the foundations to GET said mitigations for conditions.

I'd like a fishing net, but being able to toss hot bars onto lake ice would be nice.

That is the idea i'm building off of, yes

I don't see nobody laughin. We already have titanium, meteor iron and an exoskeleton mod.

I don't think the cementation furnace could do that, given the size of the coffin, but maybe a one-layer Beehive Kiln?

OP is just spitballing ideas. Who knows, maybe it'll be logged somewhere and Tyron will have a particularly cruel day and feel like making something diabolical one Halloween.
