Re: New Release! (BTW V4.A4 Kiloblock Boon) - NO SPOILERS

Can't the cave spider spawning thing be a feature instead of a bug??? j/k
Thanks for the great release. Glad to see you back at it. I know you had some issues that put it on hold for a while and happy that things seem to be better.

Problem with launching BTW when using a texture pack

Hey all. I recently reinstalled BTW and am having a strange problem. I followed the guide at http://www.sargunster.com/btwforum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8506 and then dropped the texture pack from http://www.sargunster.com/btwforum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8654 in the TP folder. This allows me to pla...

Don't Starve Together

So beta keys for DST came out this afternoon. I've been playing it a lot with Tom who used to poke around these forums as well and we're having so much fun. One of the downsides of Don't Starve was how difficult it was to show your base or share an achievement with someone else because they couldn't...

Re: Hardcore Sinkholes: looking for feedback

I am ok with them in the nether but not a huge fan of them in the desert. The reason for this is that even though BTW is much more brutal than vMC once you get the hang of it you only ever die if you do something you shouldn't. I feel that the effort required to mitigate the danger of falling into a...

Re: [Spoilers] BTW Tech Tree Visualization

I think FC should make an official version of this and sell it as a giant poster. Help fund RTH. Edit: That or some other BTW merch. I would totally buy a couple of Tee Shirts with some BTW exclusive humor. Especially knowing that the money was going to help a game developer that I have a fondness f...

Re: Block Dispenser does not plant Cocoa Beans

I can confirm that this is happening and that prior to the change adding cocoa powder that you could indeed plant cocoa beans using the BD. However at that time harvesting the cocoa bean plant, regardless of the growth stage, only ever gave 1 cocoa bean which made this process less useful. I would a...

Questions about server hosting

Re: A strange creeper explosion

This is a vanilla bug. Not a BTW bug. I've seen it happen because my friends 3 year old plays minecraft and he'll run at the creepers and take 1/2 heart damage while his dad who is playing with him will try to kill the creeper and end up dying. In addition to seeing it happen I've also experienced i...

Milk buckets

I understand the logic behind needing a bucket to milk a cow as the whole udder / bottle thing is tricky but it seems very odd that after I have either milk or chocolate milk in a bucket that I am unable to pour it into a bottle for storage thus freeing up my bucket for further use. This has the eff...

Re: Wolf attacking friends.

The strange thing is that she wasn't anywhere near me. She was at least 10 blocks away and it ran at her. I will attempt to capture another wolf later record it to see if it behaves similarly. At least this isn't what is supposed to happen. Also as for killing the wrong party, a while back my wife w...

Wolf attacking friends.

So my wife and I are playing together on a lan world and I recently tamed our first wolf. As soon as the wolf was "tamed" it made a B-line for my wife and attempted to eat her face. Needless to say the wolf is no longer with us. I know that if I hit her or she hits me or the wolf the wolf ...

Re: how many times have you HC spawned?

More than I care to admit less than 200. Before hc stratification, HC hunger, and HC tools or wood or whatever it's called I had gotten to the point that I could usually get a compass from death in under 4 min. It was funny because I'd be on the official server with Tom and I'd we could be out cavin...

I'm a huge fan of the respawn shack. When you die if you have to make a little base spend a little extra time and keep it stocked for the next time you appear there. I can't tell you the number of times that I died on the official server and happened upon "Flower's Respawn Shack" which had...

Technically fried eggs require fuel but you can do anything a poached egg can do with a fried egg. Unfortunately boiled potatoes apparently don't make a meal in the...
