You can place dirt. Currently, use a pickaxe on dirt and you'll get some in your inventory. Hold it in your hand and you can place it.. same for stone.
Since we can gather flowers, I'm sure we will have stuff to do with them at some point.
You can put posters on the wall and even use your own images for that. Plus, when you craft items to use as walls, you can choose what texture it has.
First off, have you ever used a rake? If you can, go out to the back yard, grab a metal rake (not a grass or leaf rake) and slam it into the ground and pull.. it will bring up a chunk of dirt. Keep at it and you can dig a hole. I grew up on a farm for some years as a kid and did plenty of this stuff. Unless the dirt is mostly sand, then yes the rake will gather up dirt into a pile if that is your intention. Of course if you just drag it on the surface it won't do much...
So with different biomes.. these tools might have different affects (rake won't work the same in the dessert for example, it would barely smooth the surface)
I assume the pickaxe will stop working on dirt at some point since in reality it would just puncture holes into the ground and tear it up a bit, unless you hack away at it for an hour or it's some serious clay soil. Still would need a shovel or rake to get the dirt out of the hole.
Shovel, is there one currently in-game? I haven't seen it other than on the loading screen haha I guess what needs to happen is. Bring a shovel into the game. Stop the pickaxe from affecting dirt, and the shovel does the same as the pickaxe currently to dirt.
Still my suggestion is valid.. 
It just doesn't make sense that if you remove dirt with a rake that it just disappears into the void. But getting no stone with a sledgehammer does make sense. If you smash stone it kinda turns to dust... maybe stone dust could be collected and used for something? Maybe mortar?
So...
Pickaxe - stone/ore collection
Sledgehammer - stone smoothing (stone dust collection?)
Shovel - dirt collection (maybe there will be something found in dirt to be collected which is useful to the player?)
Rake - dirt smoothing (just add the suggestion above)
etc..
Are you just clicking left mouse button, or holding it to let it complete a full swing?
umm... for stone? 
Get some sleep Meltron! Rake is for dirt. 
A fox? They're so cute- but I also think they might be mischievous little critters in the future!
I sure hope so! I want a reason for my chickens to die instead of like in minecraft where they would just randomly keel over...
Ok thanks man. I haven't seen it before so thought it might have been the new lantern.
I searched but found no light glitch etc..
I've started a new world. Placed several of the new lanterns (the cylinder shape one with flame) on the ceiling of a cave. While using the sledgehammer to flatten the floor this happened:
It would turn on and off almost every time I used the sledgehammer or pickaxe. Sorry if this has been brought up.
oh jeez, I see now haha. I thought you just missed that part of the update news. My bad 
I have no answer for ya
Noob question: What does this do?
"[New] New admin servercommand: "getplayerinfo" to get different information from a player (e.g. ip)"
First thing I did was swing at a tree hehe
It was working before update and after, no change to my java. Not sure what it could be.
I will act as a witness to this.
works fine for me on windows 7 pro
This should be simple. I searched but didn't find anything on this.
Would like it if when you rake dirt down, it gives you dirt in your inventory. If you rake dirt up, it takes dirt from your inventory. And yes, you would not be able to rake dirt up without having some in your inventory first.
Maybe a server setting that makes those structures protected. Since this is being done for player builds, it shouldn't be too difficult to apply it to generated buildings. But maybe I'm wrong in assuming that...
Regardless, I wouldn't say keep this feature out because some people want to grief.
So when some kind of danger, be it predator or monster, it would be freaking awesome if you just didn't mention that part in the update release information. Just imagine the youtube vids of people happily building or mining and suddenly get attacked! New undies for RW players!! Come on... it would be so great haha It would get people talking...
More good stuff!
Love your pet pig! haha Good work!
I like the idea of a world backstory it will help with immersion for a lot of players. Also I know this is sandbox and it is up to the players to make the 'game' but it wold be nice if the devs could stick in some lore related points of interest to help with the exploring, just little things like interesting places to see.
Check the lore idea I had. Seems I'm the only one who likes it though haha
