OK, I'm curious. Can't wait to see what's in store.

[Thordan Ssoa]

I am simultaneously scared and excited. Only big question, is starting over recommended with this release?

Not necessarily starting over, but I'd recommend a hardcore spawn at some point to experience everything on offer here.

[FlowerChild]

Oh! BTW: If anyone can stream or record their first experiences with this release I'd be VERY interested in seeing that to help me gauge the "new" player experience. Please let me know if anyone is going to do that.

[Thordan Ssoa]

I have a feeling that'll happen to me naturally at some point. I don't think I'll have time to play before my scream on Tuesday, so if you want to watch someone experience all the new things blind I'll be on then.

EDIT: Ninja'd slightly.

[Taleric]

I am frightened.

[FlowerChild]

I am frightened.

I'd tell you not to worry about it, but for some odd reason nobody seems to believe me anymore.

[jorgebonafe]

This changelog freaks me the fuck out.

I love it.


Edit...

Would you recommend a new world for this... whatever it is?

Edit... Nevermind, just saw the above post :P
I think I'll start over. I just got to renewable tools, so I'm not that far into my world anyway...

If you're not too developed in your world, then yes, I'd say starting over might be a good bet to get the whole experience. Otherwise though, with the changes to HC Spawn in the previous release (totally coincidental of course), jumping off the nearest cliff will do the trick.

[dawnraider]

Huh, pretty interested to see the changes. It appears there's a nearby cliff with my name on it.

Sucker.

[Rob]

And I JUST found diamonds on my last stream too.. I haven't died yet, so maybe a HCS is in the cards. I can try to stream tomorrow sometime. I'll throw the link up in the forum and on the discord as per usual.

[jackatthekilns]

Well I was going to be productive this weekend, but I guess that's out the window.I'm going to bed now - not worrying about anything.

[Sarudak]

I am greatly intrigued. This coincides well with the fact that I just died recently and totally rage quit. Unfortunately I won't be able to play much over the next two weeks. Does this perhaps represent a shift of focus away from the return to home concept and indicate you are reshaping BTW to have the early game you always dreamed of?

[Fret]

This release contains the following changes:

-Changed the entire mod.

Wow, how to respond xD Well, only one way I guess. Im gonna try it out right now!

[Whuppee]

Oh holy fuck! Excited and terrified. Thank you!

[ko_teknik]

O.M.G i must start recording !!

it's the first april right now ?!? need to check...

[Psion]

out of curiosity, and assuming the answer isn't spoilery: i recently hit a tier 4 SFS beacon and was planning on doing a "new game +" so to speak, where other than the beacon i start from scratch and build a "real base" far away from any other bases. obviously id be missing out on HCS but would i be missing much of this new experience otherwise?

P.S. AAAAAAAAAAAHHH NEW UPDATE!

[SterlingRed]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[FlowerChild]

I just uploaded a 'b' version that fixes a few issues. Download link in the OP will now point to it.

Changes:

-Changed an early tool recipe to shapeless to make it a little more intuitive.

-Fixed problem where some wood blocks could be harvested with inappropriate tools leading to a tech progression workaround.

-Fixed problem where splitting logs with a stone axe would always produce oak bark regardless of the type of log involved.

[kazerima]

Most of my time lately has been getting devoured wholesale by trying to make a 1.12.2 modpack for vanilla that tries to approach BTW's state of being an actual game instead of a lego box, but I'll try to devote some time on Monday to recording a play session.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

[Gears]

Been inactive on here for a few years due to military taking over my life. Good to see you're still working on things, FC!

[FlowerChild]

And 'c' version released with just one change:

-Fixed a crash bug in SMP when using torches.

Download link in the OP has been updated.

And thanks for all the enthusiasms guys! I'm pretty exhausted at present, so I'll leave the responses at that :)

[Xaedblade]

I will say that I had a little bit of a rant about the new changes..... but now cannot stop playing it! A great example of a change that makes you wanna rage quite... but then fall in love with... and that is the story of BTW for me... still in love with it! great change :D
