Testing 246: Creative Worlds!

Initial thoughts

  • Is there missing infinite fuel for beacons? Portals works forever but beacons have timer.
  • I am still wishing that palette manager / last used palette remembered / prompt to verify reset.
    • It is too easy to reset/wipe handpicked palette to initial generated palette. When I did first reset on Sovereign planet it felt like dropping bomb on base. :confused:
    • Able to pick from existing world color profiles or save few owns would be great.
  • Speed up forge crafting time
    • For example from add setting world control for crafting time modifier, always instant finish crafts or add button to crafting queue to make it ready at once. Best would be modifier selector in knowledge but I understood it wouldn’t happen yet.
    • Even that tools need to be forged only once it is easy to lose existing items storage or those could get deleted when by dropping by mistake
    • Forging with unlimited resources on deck is fun :smiley:
  • Creative with flying seems really nice for recording some videos :slight_smile:
  • Even that skills can be reset much as like I am missing skill pages.
  • Unlimited energy is back!!! very nice :smiley:

Is it really necessary to put infinity icons next to everything, if everything is unlimited? Seems superfluous

Are creative world’s same as sovereign, such as you rent them?

The ones that will connected to the Live universe, yeah.

It’s better to use :infinity: than it show a number of 900+. Most likely for language barriers also. Like the emojis for diamonds mines and what not. It showing just an item and no indication of it being unlimited may confuse some possibly?

Because in creative items vanishes when those would drop ground would it be possible to make storage shelves and storage boxes not possible to break before emptying those? Same way like closed storage got changed in live.

Gleambow augments also unlimited… thanks @almund :+1:

This is what it looks like when you launch a gleambow totem while at flying max height and the meteor spawns with you in the tail.

Would we be able to learn forging on creative?
I normally practice forging on test before I try forging on live.

I think it would be slightly different as you never run out of ingredients in the deck and you are effectively only doing 1 item at a time… I think practicing on Testing is more comparable to Live.

If you play with computer you can practice forging on prototype creative or then use this site. It is most fast way to try things out :slight_smile:

Well a lot of things on the game seem like impossible to miss or not understand, yet we have a lot of people missing them.

I always felt testing favored forging RNG.

At the moment its just on or off, and its quite fast when “running” … it does not seem like it when flying high above the terrain but at ground level, zoom zoom zoom.

Edit: completing the atlas only took a few minutes :wink:

Looking at velocity in the debug, it appears normal max run speed with all skills is 10ish, then if you add mega speed brew it goes up to 15ish. Flight velocity is around 40.

Max height for flight is 510 apparently, but build height limit still at 255.

Not a huge deal, but the draw distance for me is a bit slow when initially visiting a creative planet and flying. Just have to give it time to load.

These look quite nice at night:

I noticed that if you have buffs on in a permanent world, then you go to a creative world, the buffs stay on. Then later after the buffs had worn off I went back to the sanctum, and they were restored. I went to another creative world and got to run down the timers from the same buffs again.

What are those?

Oortstone seam blocks :+1:
In the Live Universe these would give you Rough Oortstone :smiley:

I don’t want to learn to forge so for me it is a downside to not have forged tools available in creative.

An observation on storage in creative.

When you place an item in storage, it moves the entire stack.

When you retrieve an item from storage it moves the entire stack.

You do not have the ability to move a specific number of items into or out of inventory.

If you are trying to forge tools and then share them, you cannot do that. You may have created an infinite stack of a forged hammer, but I cannot find a way to give some to another player and still have one for myself.
