There were two people on Discord who posted on in the 'Game suggestions' channel questioning why they bought a 'shitty' game. They laughed like a bunch of morons that they are, assuming they're so clever when mocking Rising World, comparing it to Rust & all that stuff. I wanted to read the whole chat log, yet it was purged so I couldn't make full sense of it. They left soon after once both Botchikii & rock0head132 intervened on there. I was too busy at work to do anything, yet glanced at it at 6 am & around 1 pm.

The negative reviews also taking advantage of the silence that people want their 5 seconds of fame. It's silly, and they should indeed feel embarrassed about it, something they won't.

Best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them.

Hi!

Suggestions for the beginnings of the industrial era:

- Steam machine (for power):
- add coal
- add water
- ligth
- get movement that can be then attached to the two other ideas below

- smelter:
- just drop one particular ore (or a couple if there are mixes later)
- add coal
- force air (powered by seam machine above
- make tray and put tray
- get ingots
- as long as there are ores (you could be adding as it goes down), coal and forced air, smelting happens. put a tray and open lever to get the melted metal into it so it becomes ingots.
- must be difficult to start (as real big smelting things are: lots of coal, lots of forced air) but once going it is efficient: this will mean it is not worth for small batches of smelting, but very efficient time wise for large batches.

- fabric machine:
- sort of the same, just drop thread (made with a similar machine?)
- select fabric type perhaps
- attach to steam machine for power
- get fabrics

Or even better, be able to create ANY shape in a "design bench" and then "cut it" in the blockbench.

The converters however haven't always been perfect and some strange things can be seen sometimes in the land. Holes to nothingness (can be fixed most times by pressing F10), flying plants, et cetera.

Also I read somewhere that Red51, even though tries his best to not break previous maps, does not guarantee that. He has said before not to get very attached to a map, just in case.

I think that's perfectly fine, it is an alpha game after all, we should expect changes that are not backwards compatible with previous maps, in particular with big updates like the one coming.

I would be happy just with blueprints being converted properly from version to version so you can deploy your builds from previous version maps into new ones

Go @red51!

Thanks @dagoline and @red51!

Hi,

What's the correct way to get Launch options for Rising World as a Java game in Steam. I would like to pass to it the -Xms parameter for extra emmory (for example -Xms8196m)

Shall I just write that in here:

Cheers,

Marcos

Indeed @red51, it is fixed in the current download...

Thanks!

By the way@'red51', any ETA?

Not sure, it is the script that came with the server download... so is the L now part of the -dmSL bit?

I shall re-download the server and check.

Cheers,

Marcos

Hi,

In the latest Debian the script fails. Looks like the "screen" version in it expects the options in a different way.

Changing from:

screen -dmS ${SCREEN_NAME} -L ${SCREEN_NAME} java -Xmx${MEMORY}m -Xms$(($MEMORY/2))m -jar server.jar

To:

screen -dmSL ${SCREEN_NAME} java -Xmx${MEMORY}m -Xms$(($MEMORY/2))m -jar server.jar

fixes the issue.

@red51, you may want to change it, it should work for other versions as well.

It's your fault @red51!!

You make an amazing very addictive game, promise updates and we are checking every 5 minutes the forum for news!!

Quote from Minotorious

model with every possible configuration

I know it is difficult, but that bit is probably incorrect: it has to be procedurally generated (like the map itself, or the dungeons), no need of models with every possible configuration.

Quote from Minotorious

the model has a set size you cannot make part of it disappear if it touches a wall

Unless the models are flexible and trees next to walls bend away from it, like in real life.

Hi @red51,

Are there any plans to fix things like you being able to open chests or take thing from tanning racks through walls/glass, or animals walking through them?

Less important but also nice to have fixed is trees going through walls

Cheers,

Marcos

Well, the traditional way of making mirrors is glass + a solution of silver that deposits metallic silver on the glass.

Mirrors!

Specially now that we will have models and clothes.

Glass + silver = mirror

How cool would it be to have flowing water? The problem being maybe the ponds would dry up and have to be filled up by rain?

Red51 has said that flowing water will come, but probably not the drying/rain filling as it is too computationally expensive to do (ie: you will need a hell of a computer to calculate it).

I have been collecting thread and skins. I have lots ready

Tick, tock, tick, tock...
