If you are talking about the infinite forging method, there are already guides on how to do that on the internet. Everyone doesn’t use that method because it takes ~300 forge rounds to make a single tool.

This seems like something we can figure out.

Duplicate post removed.
To clarify:
If I go through a HUB portal from TNT to Alder. That town would be where I would want to setup on, but I would need to run through a large town and probably “reserved” plots around the town to get to a spot to build. If a new player were to try to setup near a “HUB”, it would require alot of walking and patience. Hope that helps clarify my comment
Seems to be caused by mostly Gleam Club members. I think beacon fuel should not be infinite for Gleam Club members, but something in between normal and infinite. Maybe beacon fuel for Gleam Club members should just be the double (or triple/quadruple) of that of normal players?

Not talking about that, I am making more than 1 tool when forging.
It’s not infinite, it only lasts as long as gleam club lasts and as long as the player feeds the game money.

I’m not sure all the context or points you were trying to make or speak to… But I did want to comment that empty plots exist for a variety of reasons… you will never get rid of them. People are more than able to release plots but many don’t for many reasons. The concern we should have with a new team is they weren’t here to see what caused the situation and why it is here… I’m worried they will make decisions that actually make things worse because they didn’t experience the good and bad of the plot system and things like footfall.
Hell remove footfall and prestige and a few other things and some of the incentives on why you have a plot and that might solve concerns on “empty” plots.
Plus I waited a long time to take over land in one town that I now run the main hub on… new players are good but also new players are bad because they likely leave. Why should those of us that dealt with all the uncertainty in this game and NEVER left or stopped playing be hurt and impacted because a new player can’t build right beside the main hub like they want. They can go start their own city and deal with all the growth pains.
One of the biggest issues will always be the split community of people that want a building game versus ones that want a MMO and other things that require towns and stuff… there are so many conflicts and other game issues that are going to be very hard to unwind.

I think there are many of us that know true dedicated players and those that call themselves such are were not in any way. I see very few in the community that just took the high road and enjoyed the game and didn’t play the quit/join rotation. They would be the only ones that deserved some thanks and none of them give a darn about having that because being able to play the game even in maintenance mode was enough for them.
First and foremost people need to learn to see past their own blinding and anger at the Devs since all it leads is to bad perspectives and attacks. It will always be a failure of many in this community in their lack of understanding and full arrogance that they feel they know EXACTLY what happened behind the scenes and how “EVIL” the Devs were. Whether those viewpoints are correct or completely wrong means nothing because the toxic nature of the hate for people that “don’t do as I say or do what I want” helps really no one in the long run.
Sure the Devs weren’t great and made some huge mistakes but continuing to attack them is just petty and childish. Maybe it would have been better for James to just let the game die instead of allowing someone else to take it over because many in the community don’t certainly deserve the second chance based on how they previously acted and the toxic situations they caused because they couldn’t deal with the situation the game was in. I don’t doubt their anger will just transfer to the new owners or some in the community that truly stuck it out in hard times.
The game will be going through many changes and a lot of stress and situations that might not be great - we don’t need bad attitudes here again ruining things because they aren’t happy that people aren’t doing as their “ultimate wisdom and knowledge” demands.
Please just move on and get over the junk that happened and let us all enjoy the game we have and hope that the new owner can actually fix things and not make things worse. We don’t need more drama again…

Yes. There should be a button in the setting menu labeled something like “skip forge animations” as a toggle on/off.
No. It’s already been stated that there isn’t going to be one. You need to let it go. 
First, because of the quote, I get that you’re lumping me in the group of toxic people, who (and do feel free to correct me if I don’t grasp the gist of your words) basically don’t deserve to still be here after the Monumental acquisition. As I would’ve charitably lumped you in the far more preferable “incredibly forgiving” category, I respectfully want you to know that I take offense to your remark and henceforth solemny plan to make you eat my shorts.
Second, I NEVER implied that the devs were ‘evil’.
That is 100% you defending James (as you often do, proving my “incredibly forgiving” bit at the same time - thanks, by the way), by putting words into the mouth of others.
Please don’t do that, as it is not sanitary.
HOWEVER, implying that James is outlandishly, shamefully and almost criminally inept at communication, that, is very much what I implied, and it is the truth.
Do acknowledge that members of this community who might still have a bone to pick with James (such as me) are not doing so without reason, and would then not be as likely as you baselessly implied to get mad a Monty for no reason.

So… uh… yeah, some um… good suggestions about what should be worked on next in here. We sure are great at staying on topic and not at eachother’s throats. Yep…
I for one would like to see a patch bring simple comfort items for decoration and luxury to go in our homes. No need for functionality, just form. Functionality can come in later patches, and designing items would give new devs practical research on how the game handles complex meshes and artistic stuff. Give us a few bed models, simple tables and chairs, light fixtures, window ornaments, etc. As far as understanding the games fundamentals, you can’t really get a simpler win.

The First you @monty1 should Work on in my opinion IS to Release If Not the full 2.49 Update because of some issues but some parts of IT and to fix the Bugs for us .
If Not releasing something and Lets say wating another year for anything,because of Transaction and building new Team IT was Said about 6 Month and then perhaps 6 Month for new content this will be to Long …all WHO are exited at the moment will be bored latest in two Month again and start quitting again …
And there will be many Other Games which will be released in the coming months so people will Go there If they Don t get Something new in Boundless.
A Game with No Updates even with now a new owner will die Out slowly…after the hype calms down.
I won t be negative you all know me i am not Just realistic.
And whats important too IS a to present a Road Map AS soon AS possible so Players have something what the Plan of the Game also for new players thats a must have in These days. The Road Map must Not have to the Beginn exact Times for the Updates or releases but should be updated every Month even If No new Dates can be told to See you Re working on it.
IT ls Not everyone english speaking Like me my Main language IS German and its easyier to promote the Game with some facts in my language, and there re a Lot of German Players which Play such Games or would…

I do wonder what will actually come first.
Finishing 249, or making changes to the Early Player Experience?
As much as I agree Forging sucks, it’s not what should be worked on first.
In any case, ALL OF THAT is at least a solid year away. People are getting super excited right now, but it’s not like anything will happen soon.

I have a 
question does Experience play a factor on how much more content releases like patch 249 and player experience like I know Wonderstruck built the game from ground up and nurtured it but with a new dev team like Monumental do they have more experience to bring out more than what’s expected?
By experience, do you mean how good they are at coding?
'cause I mean, first, Monumental’s team is going to need time understanding how the game is coded and what they can do with what’s there. How fast that’ll go can also depend on how well the game was coded to begin-with. If behind the curtain, everything is well referenced enough, or if it’s an insane mess.
If you’ve ever worked on the Unreal Engine and opened someone else’s blueprint, you should understand. ^^
“oh god no” < puking noises >
Like if you’re getting a piece of IKEA furniture someone already started to build, but with or without the IKEA manual.
I’m also guessing it all depend on how much money Monty is ready to throw on Boundless, which will define the size of the team working on it, which will define how much content at once can be deployed. And I would hope that is more than Wonderstruck could afford.
