Some ideas I have

-I honestly don't think we will ever see bears attacking our houses... too much work down the drain if they would
-I like this concept, that tombs (dungeons) hold rare items and tombs being the only way to get them
-yes, we need fences or just planks being able to keep animals in, and a way to lure or drag them. and of course breeding and ownership on those animals too, but that's a whole nother update.
-I know a map is planned but I don't know what type it is and how it will work or what features it will contain

I like the idea of a leash. But what good would having a few animals locked up if you cant breed them? That's why I think animal breeding should be implemented.
Speaking of pets: Cats and Dogs! Taming would be a must, but the difficulty of taming would have to be something like Minecraft (would be more difficult with pet food, see below)
And of course I tried placing blocks as fences after the beams and planks didnt work, but they just walk right through the blocks. And I'm not going to have a 2 or more blocks thick wall around my animals.

If pets ever were added, pet food would add to the survival feel. If you starve your pets, they will die and you will have to tame a new pet. Wild animals don't have hunger, And you would have to craft the pet food. They would only lose hunger while you are online. It would suck having to hop on every hour just to keep your pets fed.
The pet food should be made out of whatever the animal normally eats irl:

• Cats are carnivores and will only eat meat or pet food made from meat
• Canines are carnivores and will also only eat meat (Of course my dog loves to eat green beans, so idk) (currently only foxes are in this family)
• Rabbits will eat vegetables
• Chickens will eat seeds
• Sheep will eat grass cut from a sickle
• Penguins will eat....nevermind, there are no fish in this game.

I only say this is because people who are playing too survive and not just build don't have much too do. like 7 days to die you have too prepare your base for attacks and repair after wards. i mean if people don't want there stuff attacked that's what creative mode is for I believe

I just like building with a purpose behind it

ah ok, yeah singleplayer at this point doesn't have awhole lot of stuff to do. Having bears destroy as an option sounds more possible.

Hmm.......

- Making bears attack but only when in search for food. Have them play in hammocks & such while leaving the damage related stuff to pirates, bandits, and raiders. Make sure you're well armed, have NPCs at the ready and such. Have walls.

- I doubt that. I'd prefer tool durability + their material effectiveness used against other materials. I guess Minecraft style, yet tuned to the Rising World realism.

- I wouldn't mind crafting shoes specific for their use. Running shoes giving you a slight boost in running, snowshoes allowing you to travel quicker in snow (if snow is given the effect of slowing you down), as well as having skis, or flippers for water. I can agree half with this, yet not wanting to have it go too absurd.

- A fence & a rope is something greatly needed. Yeah. Really do need fences, as well as rope to lead animals back. More so once we gain horses so they can stay in their place, or be commanded to stay in place.

- Map is needed, yet Red51 wants to do this properly. He wants to reach the highest bar first before tackling the lower map types (Admist) while seeking more of a Google Earth thing (search through Steam forums dealing with maps).

> A side-Thought of maps: If you want a mini-map then it be necessary to search the area first to then gain access to a minimap that updates only when you're in the area). The modern version of that would be making antenna towers, or even sending GPS satellites into space to gain a more solid perspective of your world.

-------------------

@ Daboi:

- Tombs holding rare loot. There was mentioned that dungeons were supposed to contain rare items you couldn't craft so you'd find them there. I guess they're the torture devices, yet they should contain those similar things in the chests. More variety of records, more unique things.

----------------

- Xalzia:

- Pets is something I'd love seeing, but only if they can follow your commands while not warping. They should be able to be fed, keep themselves fed & thirsted, as well as (on occassions) find you things. They should point you towards dropped items, or even try picking them up to carry back. Things like logs & stone, but nothing like furniture. They should also warn you of danger, yet once Raiders, Pirates, & bandits appear they should attack & defend only if they know they'll survive.

- Side-Thought: Allow me to tame a fox, or an Arctic Fox then I'd be happy.

-------------------------

Lacking survival? Yeah, the updates are struggling thanks to both the water & biome update. Even with the dungeons update. We're still having to wait on the necessary 'Player Models & animations update' which shall then allow us to have nature effects of heat stroke, hypothermia, among other things. Even colds, flus, food poisoning, among other natural effects. I guess basically mirroring what 7 Days to Die is doing, yet minus the zombie madness.

I also love building with a purpose. If I'm told to keep my guard up then that's the perfect game as you're given a reason to build up. Like those drones in Empyrion. Build up, colonize, and explore. Needs more dungeons, more base building that it be Skyrim + Minecraft comparison 100%. I think it already is, yet more so.

The next major update. We need teasers of the next major update.

as well as rope to lead animals back

I definitely agree with that.Its gonna be a great feature that allow us to naturally lead and save animals to our barns.

I wonder If there are any near future plans for addition of a few extra biomes/plantation.

I knowfor sure that a swamp biome is in the works. A volcanic biome and a mesa desert might come as well but the Swamp I definately have heard Red51 talk about.

I'm sure there are, yet Red51 wants to hold off on any major terrain related updates as it runs the risk of corrupting our worlds. He wants to limit any pain because of how much we've built (blueprints). He wants to add more biomes, yet I'm with Red51 on adding other features before expanding on swamps, volcanoes, jungles, and etc. Adding player models, transportation, and etc before going into the other stuff. Cooking needs to be a thing also.

I forgot about the jungle .

Yeah, there's a big world redesign that I heard Red51 talk about wanting to eventually do. It would change a lot of things like better algorithms to generate more realistic terrain, increased voxel density per chunk (to get rid of the stepped terrain that the grass covers up so well), re-organization of biomes, and biomes act like continents in an ocean. Possibly re-design of the underworld as well. It would look beautiful no doubt and be one of the final touches to the game but no doubt it is going to obliterate our old worlds or look so nice that the converted chunks would look like crap compared to the new style. Whenever that time comes there's going to have to be lots of planning on how to implement and how we are going to convert things.

I keep mentioning that 1 world ocean biome with many island & island continents because that's where Rising World shall be the most fun at. Red51 mentioned it, and I can't wait to see him take it there. Same with his plans for boats a long while back with durability & water type attrition. All those horses, boats, and stuff. We'll have a little bit of everything near the end of it and by the end of it.

For now, just more sandbox plays-testing until we get to that stage........

Jungle,swamp and volcanic biomes would be so GREAT.Waiting for those gators,turtles,horses,dogs,birds.At one point,we will have to blueprint everything and start a new world.The only hard part is the tremendous amount of time we have spent for landscaping,making mountains,rivers etc.It will be fun to restart though.

personally I hope that with the new world generation and dynamic water, we wont have much need to make our own streams and waterfalls.

Thats right zfox.They will probably be implemented together or at least that would be really cool If they did.Hopefully it wont take too long until we see that happening.

With so much other stuff that needs to be done, I suspect its going to be a year off before that becomes a focus. New player models, primitive crafting, the scalable/stretchable blocks, cooking, and trains are likely going to be the major updates for 2017.

Yeah.I believe the dynamic water will take a while from what has been mentioned. New player models, primitive crafting, the scalable/stretchable blocks, cooking, could be 1 major update.Last update was a huge one.Trains and a few more animals could be a 2nd major one.Biomes another one.Just guessing.Maybe we stand a chance to have all that by the end of summer.Never know.

as I understand there will be a update relatively soon including block rescaling and advanced placement. I hope we will get a cone block, then with the tree block textures I can finally make a palisade fort with pointed logs all around!

I like the idea of having animals that might be more dangerous in pvp, from a logical stand point bears cannot bring houses down in real life but elephants can, I think if you attack an elephant and you immediately run behind closed doors that the elephant can attempt to destroy your house as that can very easily happen in real life
