Is there any difference between 0 and 0.001? Never tried it, I used only 0.

Actually there is, but using 0 is even better! thanks (there will still be a very slight texture remaining with 0.001, but with 0 its gone).

Didn't realize 0 was an option on the dial menu (C). So players Redeye etc, just select a metal ID, hold block in hand, hold C for dial menu, and select texturescaling 0 -- this will remove all texture from metal object resulting in a chrome like finish with max reflective qualities.

EDIT: I have noticed, you can alter the reflective qualities of an object by using dif. texturescaling in low values. e.g try switching from 0 to 0.001 or o.01 . and all in between. if its low enough it retains it's chrome like quality yet alters the reflective properties. very good stuff to experiment with.

using chrome color helps (a8a9ad) but also texture resizing down to 0.001 will really make it pop and more reflective to look like chrome (even without the chrome color). Unfortunately players can only go as low as 0.25 via dial menu (EDIT: wrong, players can texturescale down to 0 via dial menu). (holding C), and I believe 0.1 (or 0.01) via console command (edit texturescale 0.01).

Only admins or those with creative permissions can go as low as 0.001 (texturescale)

If it helps any red51, when this happens (some plants not growing), I notice in server log after a restart I often get:

Dedicated server is ready! (42.618 s)

DELETE GROWING PLANT: 9299721

DELETE GROWING PLANT: 9299722

DELETE GROWING PLANT: 9299719

DELETE GROWING PLANT: 9299720

looks great!! It would be hilarious if you added a special behavior for the male sheep (Ram) -- make them randomly charge/butt players if they are near females.

Thanks Juggernaut ! But were the reports really about this issue (e.g. pickaxe suddenly acting as rake)? If I understood the reports correctly, the user lost his tool for no apparent reason

Yes (pickaxe/rake), happened in game while I was logged in with her. I had her log off and back in and it rectified itself. Told her to submit a report ... and to submit another report if it happened again which she said it did. I suspect it was lag related, her internet was acting up (high ping) when it happened. I also suspect it's a client side issue, I didn't notice the problem while looking at her character, switching back and forth, even trying it myself to see if I had the problem which I never have.

red51, one of my players reported the bug twice (yesterday) using the in game report tool. Once while it was happening. her steam UID is 76561198984865500 if it helps you any

add

"watertools": true

I have seen this as well, was fixes it is to log off then back in. I think it's some random sync bug that happens when lag occurs making tools go out of sync.

Yes, basically the "admin" group is not related to the regular server admin permission. Basically the "admin" group is just a random group which is called "admin" It's intentional, but I admit that this is a bit confusing... maybe it's better that if there is a group that's called "admin", it will automtically override server admin permissions?

well, it's usually just the server owner who adds their UID to server.properties as admin ... what confused me initially was the server permission itself, "Permissions_AdminsFullPermissions" ... you think if that were true, ALL commands would work, but they do not. Some commands (and permissions) can only be enabled in a separate admin group (e.g. watertools) in which case regular server admin permission needs to be set to false. I think it would be best if all server (and in game) admin permissions and commands are enabled if their UID (steam or standalone) is added to server.properties as admin and Permissions_AdminsFullPermissions=true

you are very welcome.

edit admin.json in permissions folder and add: "watertools": true (being careful to keep the same syntax as other entries)

save the changes (save the modified admin.json)

note: the watertools entry is not listed, but can be added.

note: in server.properties file, make sure it is set to: Permissions_AdminsFullPermissions=False (otherwise your admin group permission change will not be used if your steam UID is added to server.properties as admin)

Once done, either reboot the server OR open console and enter command reloadpermissions

red51 - as with java version, if Permissions_AdminsFullPermissions=True, full permissions are not actually used and bypasses any entries you make to your admin group.

Galochka I attached the admin.json file I edited to include watertools and other commands that are not listed in the example file for reference

Common problem, watch this quick vid:

Was it the abandoned cabin that spawns naturally in the Java version? Otherwise, could you maybe send me the BP via PM, so I can take a closer look at this?

It is a log cabin I built in the java version. Sending you a PM now, thanks

two suggestions: make a dedicated hand slot (hand inventory slot and extra hand slot we can switch to instead of needing to unload an item if we do not want to see the placement 'preview' of the item in that slot. Also if possible, reduce the lag we get switching hand slots (it still lags when switching and not instant like we are used to in Java version).

*Bug: spawned in a log cabin from java version, spawned in very well, but texture '106' as shown by snapping to a construction element (log) did not match to building texture 106 to match (visibly different, the #106 displayed after BP spawn did not match and darker than #106 picked from crafting. Some texture mismatch is at play (could not find the proper texture to perfectly match what was spawned in from BP).

may have something to do with the new texture scaling feature in after thought.

Thank you Red51 = my favorite German ... need to market RW with having 'therapeutic value' ... e.g. 'Being creative and listening to excellent in game ambient music and sound effects coupled with great eye candy with endless creative possibilities reduces stress' <<--- true story --- Kudos to your sound people, please add more: (music and realistic sound effects .. does wonders for immersion' and thank you for your hard work, attention to detail and regular involvement with your community. ya

I had this problem as well (at JiW splashscreen, game would CTD).

Instead of uninstalling the game, close Steam, and delete the "_New Version" folder located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\_New Version

Then relaunch steam and it should re-download the unity version of RW and fix the issue.

thanks Red!! I look forward to checking it out.

See here:

Dedicated Server Setup [Java Version]

OK, I was able to get this resolved. Unfortunately I do not know specifically what it was. Went through and disabled all non essential Windows 11 functions I prefer not to have, and tweaked my UEFI/BIOS some after updating to latest. Updated the Samsung 800 pro firmware and setup OP (Over provisioning). I didn't have a chance to try your last two suggestions ( red51 ), I figured I'd try launching 1st thing this morning after my work last night and it worked. I'll let you know if I can identify what caused it. I appreciate your input!

I already tried running as administrator and verifying files via steam. I'll try your other two suggestions and get back to you. thanks!
