Hello you wonderful code writing, art drawing, fabricators of imaginary epicness,
I’m writing this letter to you on behalf of my sanity, creativity, and inner doer of stupidly ridiculous things. Some of you might have already of seen my Portal Frame Comp. submission: The Spark Portal.
For those that haven’t, let me show you a shiny thing that was made with way too much iron:
Neat huh? Yeah, I thought so too. So much in fact that after a recent discussion during a great hunt with a group of friends in game, I formulated the most preposterous idea I’ve yet to have. In this game. So far.
Make it bigger.
Fill it with Spark Cores.
Connect it to our existing crafting network.
So I said “Wife, I require a stupid amount of iron and coal, with a dash of blue gleam.” To which she lovingly replied: “You know where the tools are.”
After a few days of mountain smashing, logistical tomfoolery, and some wizard math, I had acquired enough supplies to start the build:
However, being now about half way done with the build, I have suffered what is another roadblock to another creative idea. Spark Cord.
I can understand to a degree the decision to limit a player’s ability to build large Spark Core “banks”. Sorta. Ok, not really, but at least I was aware of it. What I was not aware of, nor do I understand, is why it is that Spark Cord length has a build limit as well?
No other blocks do. (Other then Spark Cores)
Well. Except for crafting machines…
So? My point? Well, if it’s in game, people are going to want to build with it. So please, for the sake of all things Great and Oortlike, I respectfully request that current and future limitations to block use be thought out more deeply. Thank you kindly for your time, this amazing game, and space goats.
Sincerely yours,
-Eld & Brad the Space Goat
