Upcoming: Water update

red51 · Mar 25th 2016

Hey folks! As promised we will show you some first screenshots of the upcoming water update! Please keep in mind that it's not in its final state yet, so the appearance may change until release.

The first water release will only feature static water, i.e. it does not have any physical behaviour yet, but it will still look like water, feel like water and you can of course swim in it

It won't take too long until the update is finally ready, eventually there might be another small update in the run-up to the water release. Stay tuned!

Wonderful!!

OMG! That looks as beautiful as I imagined it would be!

Are we getting a beach and ocean biome as well with this update?

Lonelobo · Mar 25th 2016

looks very good, any eta when it will be released (something more specific then sometime soon). Also how do whe 'mine' this water blocks? is there going to be a bucket or somrthing to store water in it?

OMG.! I knew Red will do an awesome job with water,just like he did with all the other stuff,even though its not in its final state.This is amazing.Looks fabulous.!

Indeed it does. I'm guessing we are getting a beach biome too with this. I wonder if the static ponds will contain a unique floor and border of mud, sand, or cobblestone with lillipads and fish! oOooh, I can only hope.

This is much-anticipated update. I think we can take water without physics. Great job!

Loving image #1 & #2 for it shows life while appearing mostly polished. I'm however bothered by #3 & #4 because the game is still youthful & I'm an overly picky person spoiled by both 'Phantasy Star Online 2' & 'Skyrim'. Of course, we shall be able to spruce (decorate) the coastal & island stuff so it shall be overly awesome while seeing these sorts of things updated nicely. I have faith in Red51 in the long-term. Nice!

Beaches lining the coast shall be sweet. I can see that in #2. We'll be needed Papyrus in 'warmer' climates held in rivers to make use of water now, heh. [Here] & a boat that doesn't break when you sneeze

This would be awesome If they do that.I believe along the way,with creation and generation of (more) biomes,it will end up looking like that.

quick question tho, @red51 will we be able to adjust the default water level ? like in a config set at what height the "sea level" is at ? (P.S wohohoho that small update *wink* )

WOW that's awesome!!

Nephy · Mar 25th 2016

OMG YEEEEESSSSS. The update I have been waiting for! Sucks that its static but we have to start somewhere. The textures for it look incredible red51. I supposed things like waterfalls and rivers will be released when the water is no longer static?

How about this? Greenland Linienbus/ Bus Shuttle
If I had a blueprint for this, I'd craft a few and make an RV camp by a lake
