If we ever get it were water freezes in the winter he better be adding in ice skates...oh and dog sleds. lol

LOL. Well, we do need dogs! and taming, getting an animal to follow you. Also a way to catch them (chickens) or herd them (everything else).

You all have touched nearly everything I want also. Definitely curved shapes with round edges not sharp. (for ropes and many other uses). Maybe more textures. and wood textures that don't have the grain going two ways! (Most currently have the grain going opposite directions on the sides.)

Lightbulbs you can put in your own fixtures. Being able to mirror/flip your blueprints, and also to distort them (enlarge or shrink in separate directions like with blocks.

Amazing! I trying to build a simple fishing boat, and I'm already stuck on how to do the ribs and beams!

So there is no way to flip or mirror image a blueprint, is there? Like you can with the End Key (flip command) and a construction element. If not, that would really a handy feature to have when making components for building things.

CONGRATULATIONS on this milestone. It was a long time coming, but worth it!

I have updated my review with gushing praise.

select the area you want to remove and press the del key.

backspace resets the selection area

Of course! Thanks. I've written it down.

How do you remove land using the F5, key 4 area selection tool? I can make a section and ADD land (up) by right clicking. But I cannot figure out (or remember) how to remove (dig down) with the tool. I would prefer this as it's more precise than using the #1 key and the square (grid) shape. I cannot control depth well or size as good as I'd like with the #1 add/remove.

This is to be possible with the area tool, and I remember doing it, but can't now.

Anyone know the secret key command?

Love your little miniaturized workbenches. I'm gonna steal that idea! This would make a good green house for seedlings (if you could keep em small!)

Here's a lighthouse with functioning light, flood lights and keeper's hut. This isn't completely symmetrical, so some things got a little wonky. But don't look too close and it looks pretty cool. This was mostly made in survival but you may have to place it in creative to get the big light the way I made it because it's enlarged beyond what you can do in survival. The flood lights are cool for making the building stand out at night, but during the day they are completely blown out.

The big light is the rotating lamp inside a luminant sphere. You can turn on both to that you get at least some effect of a real lighthouse. Also the red lamp on top. I had fun making this!

Wow. Great work!

Very nice. I like the A-frame look.

might i recommend the single bulkhead lamp as the lightbulb if you want it to be a functional lightsource?

I have, yes. I just don't like the way they look.

That's so cute! Everyone needs a trophy for their shelves!

This is a retro 1980s style Futon that seats two. The cushions are painted with two swipes of the brush to create the striped look. If it's not your color, you can of course paint them a different color! Without the cushions it can be a garden bench. Either version has two seats in the bottom.

Please consider making the crafted lightbulbs an object we can place into our own custom light fixtures. That would open up much creative options, and you wouldn't have to create new lights yourself, Red51.

Currently the best lighting we have in the game is provided by the lantern. Even though the industrial style lights in the game are OK and adjustable, the lantern lights up the surroundings better with a more natural glow. The Luminous material seems to have potential, but it really doesn't spread any light, it just lights itself. Maybe it's best for signage, and that may have been the plan--if so, it's fine. The crafted light bulb maybe the solution if it can illuminate an area like the lantern does.

Just having the ability to move water (like with a bucket) to fill the trough, barrel or a well would be major improvement.

Having separate waters sources (lakes as opposed to the sea) be at different levels would huge. Imagine being able to create a canal with locks and a pump system to raise and lower the level! If we can have a drawbridge we could have a lock---same sort of thing.

Here is a Tiffany Style table lamp. Two version one with the candle, and one with luminous sphere. Frankly neither one gives any illumination to a room, they merely light themselves and look cute. Both can be turned on and off if you crouch and touch the candle or sphere. I wish that Red51 would make it so we could place the crafted lightbulb in our own fixtures and have that function as a light source. The two darker images show what it looks like in the dark and lighted. So, yeah, not much light.

To level the ground I right clicked with the hoe. Works same as rake, I think.

Cotton does it too. Here in the flat area where it's laying flat and on the slope. This is a place where I raised the garden bed to level it out. So it seems like changing the level of the ground is a problem for some of the plants. It doesn't bother others though.

Ah. OK. Well I do all my little furnishings and stuff like that in a specific world for that purpose and then place them in the other world. But at least the paper cost would make sense. I'm not going bother with resources and all that. Too time consuming!

Is this a bug in the new version? I have a saved blueprint (on my computer) and a blueprint table. I made paper but I forgot to make an empty blueprint. When I went to the blueprint table and selected my saved blueprint I was able to make it and use it without making using any paper. Is this correct? Seems not right, as I made the saved blueprint in a creative world and want to place the item in survival, but there should be a cost, right?

I know I didn't use any paper because I had put it in the chest just before.
