    I am not positive but these purple flowers seem to multiply when I am not looking. They are every where.
    So, you should be able to put flowers in the Vase, not sure what else to do with them.


    Any chance you have some different varieties planned for the near future?
    Are we going to be able to replant them when you get agriculture added?

    So I have run into a problem with ramp corners. The wire frame doesn't match rotation on placement, but is off by 90 degrees.
    It seems to only happen when placing on the upward version like on a ceiling.



    And after I place:


    FYI, It is interesting in making these shots and trying not to reveal what I am working on.

    I have been doing some extensive use of the rake and sludge hammer. Areas affected by these tools prevent the placement of blocks and raw material(dirt/stone) usually have to dig out the offending material with a pick to place, then having to redo the raking/hammering afterwards (and usually not as nice)


    These blocks were placed in lines but the gaps are affected by this bug:



    I have reached a good point in my latest project.


    I have started a second world using the map type surreal, and it poses new challenges.
    I think it may be a very interesting challenge once more of the survival elements are added.


    Here is the video of my new world and base.



    I do not have time at this moment to create some screenshots, so i will post them in the future.


    Enjoy - Quezax

    Tools -
    Rake - So after a bunch of laying dirt down in my barn, I had some trouble where the dirt meets a block, it kept wanting to leave a divet in stead of flat or a rise up to it. So I would recommend that you add a right click function to the rack has a propensity to builds up, instead of the current left click down.


    Watering Can - spread and re-grow grass. I like how the rake breaks down grass terrain. but now I have a few patches that were cut bare prior to the update and a couple spots where removing potholes ond small mounds have left bald spots. I think this would be more versatile in the long run than collecting grass seeds or such.


    Objects -
    Tool Rack - I will not be needing my scythe, sickle, or rake on me most of the time. So I would request a tool rake that can be placed on my barn wall to hang them in plain sight while I am not using them. Would look cool.


    Bucket and Half Barrel - decorative items for holding water for my animals.


    Fences and Fence Gates - See barn update...


    Chicken Wire - for my small animal enclosures


    Thanks again, really enjoying the game.


    So I started the game and joined my world, and found out I already had the game running... so SELFIE!
    Messes up you inventory as the second login got the original inventory it seems or something, not sure just weird.

    So finally got some time to play with the new tools. It let me get a little work done on my existing buildings. Here is a quick video of the updates.




    Screen Shots:


    And the outside:


    Well now I know how to kill grass, just need to figure out how to grow some back...

    I am not sure about an in game object, but this is a key feature for multiplayer server administration.


    Being able to setup snapshots on a schedule as part of the config would give server admins a basic fallback system for dealing with Griefers.
    Advanced features would be setting a limit on how many snapshots (auto delete the oldest), only doing a new snapshot if there were changes since the last(log note to know the job ran), and being able to setup multiple snapshot rules i.e. every hour, keep 24 and Daily keep 7, etc


    This is a feature that usually has to be added on and is not very stylish so has a problem of keeping maintainers for these mods, so is a constant issues for server admins.

    I haven't thought of any good ideas for my next project.
    Some of the things I have planned, like a farm house and live stock areas, I am waiting for the shovel and the EC Post to be added.


    So, looking for ideas on what to build next...any requests?
    Doesn't have to be in line with my existing farm theme.

    I am starting with just a compound/farm setup. I will build a town and such later, maybe on your public server ;). I still need some more practice with the interface and waiting for a couple of key updates for input on town needs i.e. protection, food, water, utilities, roads, etc. We will get there.

    Ok, i removed the smoothing feature from the video, so hopefully that makes it easier to watch. So let me know if that is better.


    As requested here are a couple of screenshots of the interior.


    Downstairs:


    Upstairs:

    Not a pro on the video creation, but I threw together a video tour of my first two projects.



    Screen shots of the barn:


    The upstairs floor took a lot of wood since I was constantly replacing pieces to get them to line up better. Used probably 2 to 1 of wood used to actual wood present.

    Tools:
    Hammer

    Similar to my Saw suggestion, This tool would allow you to adjust the placement of Extended Construction Objects.
    Left click moves one notch away from the side targets: Example left click on top of the board moves it one notch down.
    Right click moves EC Objet pulls it one notch in the direction: Example right click on top of board moves it one notch up.
    A notch i am thinking should be the same amount of movement as using arrow keys when an EC Object is locked with ctrl-key.
    The direction of movement should be completely based on side targeted, and not angle of incidence when clicking: If I am looking down and target the side, it should move side to side not up and down.


    Change to Scythe and sickle
    I sometimes want grass to be short vs cleared, and it is impossible to control it well enough to not end up on this result consistently. So how about adding a right click function to these that only cuts the grass to short and will not clear the grass.


    Objects:
    Double Doors
    I figure these are already on the list, but had need for them so just a friendly pook.


    Mirrored Single Doors
    Sometimes I want the door to just swing the other way depending on the room layout.


    Large Doors
    Thinking barn/garage doors size 6 blocks tall and 3 blocks wide, and availability as double(like previous entry).
    Additionally verticle or roll up doors, for a couple of modern options would be nice.


    Gameplay:
    Place Dirt on blocks.
    Currently it passes through blocks and are completely independent placement of each other. But thinking roof top gardens and such would need to be able to place on blocks without spilling out side the boundries. I figure there are some technical challenges here, but wanted to make the request.


    Pickup most objects
    I dislike not being able to move objects like tables and chairs, and I should not have to break them and remake them. So most furniture your should be able pick up(I.e. like garden torch) or moved with an empty hand action.


    Individual EC Boards interaction after multiple EC object place
    I use left click to place multiple EC boards to do walls. Preferably after the boards are placed I should be able to remove a single board of the set and not be forced to redo them if I want to add a window or door.


    As always, thank you for considering these suggestions.
