Woah nice! Should share the secret with the xp-poor Tubios out there :stuck_out_tongue:.

Amendments to the grass colour and handling is so desparately required in the main game.

Grass planting, and colour matching, when landscaping is genuinely such a toil that I began to setup a (free) shop with location tokens for different types of grass and the colours.

Currently it’s only Verdant stuff, but I have a few there.

It’s just that planting the damnable stuff is so slow, and it seems that nothing can speed up sowing grass seeds … so my little natural paradise looks … well … it looks a bit rough because I just don’t have the energy to plant all that bloody grass.

Does spraying using the spray tinter machine also works with the skill bonus?

That’s a good question. When I get a chance, I’ll test that.

Unrelated, I was wondering if anyone knows if you get elemental boosts with gem damage bombs?

I had a call at the beginning of month and they were hoping it would be this month. Obviously it matters what bugs and other issues arise as they do the testing releases.

Any word on if the results from the suggestions from this thread are for this release? If so, are they going to be on test?

so you get what 16 paint per pigment with coils ?

It seems with every skills it gives you 20 paint per pigment which is WAY better. The coils seem to not add the Bonus of 24% increase. It shows in the machine UI but has no effect. With or without i still get 20 paints. @james

Spray tinter has no effect from the skills. You get an increase amount of Paint from a single goo pigment.

@james with the new leveling and skill systems, could we look into rebalancing xp for certain aspects of building? I understand the reasoning behind the increased xp/level since one character can that xp from more avenues simultaneously, but playtime needs to be considered too. Sure I can craft in my workshop while I build but for the last 4 months I’ve spent all of my time building. Having hunting skills won’t get me more xp when I’m constantly building, and using low xp mats.

Please consider a flat xp rate for chiseling, and eliminating the 3-chisel max so we can get credit for expending the time, stamina, and chisel wear of lattice chiseling something up to 4 times and up to 3 with other chisels.

My rate of cubits earned has been almost depressing next to how much I’ve worked on my current build. Making thin poles and beams out of ice is painful, like 5k xp for an hours worth of work sometimes, especially when I have to hang from a grapple.

I’ve never done paint mixing, so I didn’t know it had coils, glad you tested this!

I haven’t brought it up since then since I knew how much the last few releases and likely next one will be in code time. I think we would need a set of blocks to give them so they could do a full block update. I wouldn’t expect just 2 blocks to get the dev time. So maybe with the help of @Odeon (I think he had a lot of block options but maybe it was someone else) and others we can get a group of blocks and push for it to happen at some point.

Does buying cubits for plots change also?

No changes there that I have seen.

Indeed, I have collected all our wishes for new blocks in the thread mentioned by @Rydralain .

Who knows maybe we will get some this year. That would be very nice :wink: :+1: :+1:

Thanks! I’m collecting Tallow again and hoping I can find a way to bribe @James to sneak that in sometime. He really is a lover of Tallow. At one point he was considering a Tallow block for building, Tallow armor (you kind of look like the Pillsburry Dough Boy), and a Tallow fully-automatic 50 caliber machine gun for those darn Cuttles that stay far away and annoy you. He also was considering edible Tallow (back when Bill Gates reached out to him to pitch his theory of synthetic meat before taking it to the world) but James said that was taking it too far and a really stupid idea.

Wait wait. Tallow block sounds interesting. Someone Might have to do some mock up

Would tallow armor allow someone to bounce off of things? :thinking: :grin:
New physics properties incoming…(jk)

I’m picturing a jello block. You sink into it like a liquid. And it slows you down. And you can’t just jump out. You’d have to tap the jump button a bunch of times to get out like quick sand.
