Only have one gate in my world so far, so it'll have to do: http://www.bottledindigo.com/btw/swampgate.jpg It has a daylight sensor, so it automatically sinks into the ground during the day. When closed, it can be opened for a short while by standing on the pressure plates. Once you leave the plates...

All that and just a 1.9MB install? I'm seriously impressed.

Seriously though, if this isn't a scam, then I don't know what is...

Well, to be honest it will be nice to have a multi-coloured material that I feel comfortable about putting into buildings. Using wool for construction purposes just feels weird unless you're making a carpet.

When refilled by a hopper, it doesn't start screeching either until you open the actual millstone inventory.

I was trying to avoid the waterstream-method for once as I was trying to make it look "natural" and low-tech for a change. Unfortunately I have now found out that when they mature, half the time they seem to somehow end up inside the wooden supports and suffocate... this farm is proving qu...

I was designing a simple livestock farm and ran into a bit of an issue with clingy offspring. They all just pack together right beneath one of their parents until they grow up, at which point they just end up stuck between the small ones crowding around. I noticed that if I give them the illusion of...

Now you see, this is where I stopped reading. Also: EZbq0Aw6NWM If you're going to post tired old memes about posts being bad (seen it thrice in one day now, all on BtW related threads), you could atleast have the decency to actually read said post. Posting something like this is simply borderline ...

I'll leave the meat of the matter to those that are more awake than me, but I can atleast address your worries about rail networks. In BtW, iron ore is not intended to be your primary source of iron, only your initial one. If you require loads of iron, a mob-farm is the way to go as you can then sme...

Loving the new axle speed! And if you used the trick I suspect you did: nice trick too :P

I was preparing breakfast when I realised the spidey-sense might be even easier to implement than expected. Just flash the border for a moment when a mob "latches" onto you and starts chasing you. Gives you the hint there's something out there hunting for you, without giving away too much ...

Not sure how important other people's opinions are in this matter. Do you consider it cheating? You could always turn it into a spidey-sense where the edge of the screen flashes briefly whenever a mob moves into range. As for the feasibility. My first attempt would likely be to try to register colli...

I have to admit it took a moment to get used to moving axles, mostly because the game has had so few moving parts so far. They're certainly growing on me now, though. Now this is obviously just personal opinion, but they do feel a tad fast, particularly with respect to the actual speeds of the water...

Guess I'll deliver some good news in this section of the forums as well. Just checked and this one no longer seems to reproduce :)

Gravity came to mind :P

You might have a hard time getting high enough first, though >.>

Thankfully you're using BtW, so you can use sidings for the ceiling. They don't suffer from the same issue (probably because they let light through, unlike regular slabs).

I did a search and found Unfired Clay urn visual duplication . This seems to be the same issue, so I'll accept the invitation to make a new bug report that is hopefully a bit clearer. I was designing a new pottery system when I noticed some odd behaviour. When my unfired pottery is pushed over a hop...

As far as I can tell, it seems to be a vanilla bug. I doubt it's very alarming as you need mooshrooms first to even "exploit" it, but figured I'd just post it and let you decide on whether it's worth fixing.

Wonder how you'll handle the secret features. totallynotsomesecretkindofnewfungus.png? :P

Damn Graphite those are nice. I'm interested by the kiln and pottery systems, are they waterless or can be remade to be? And how do them saws work? The kiln is completely piston-driven, though if you intend to make charcoal you'd be better off with a different design. This one leaves two empty spac...

I'm so glad this thread has got some love recently, this is awesome stuff guys! Keep them coming! Hey Graphite, any chance we could see the inside of some of those fantastic buildings you were showing off? Particularly I want to see the inside of the barn, but I love your stuff and would love any o...

Here's the windmill I've been working on in the world I created since the last update: http://i.imgur.com/Tm32cI8.png Love that roof! Seriously. Could do with some partial-block love, but unfortunately cobble is one of the few exceptions now. One of the reasons I tend to use spruce wood for rooftop...

Think you might find Joel on software - Things You Should Never Do, Part I an interesting read.

Actually, it depends on the kind of log you're burning. Oak logs are comparable to coal (8). Birch is a bit better (10), spruce a bit worse (6) and jungle wood is worst (4). With regard to kilns: I had to redesign my kiln as it occasionally burnt the wooden logs instead of turning them to charcoal. ...

So I replaced the door with a gate and went on with building my base a bit. You know, that remark really makes me feel something is off about the game. "Oh noes! Zombies break down my sturdy wooden door, so I'll just replace it with this flimsy, mostly open-air gate and I'll be safe!" Fun...

One thing's for certain. You have instilled an unhealthy sense of paranoia in people by now >.>
