So, no one seems to notice here, but Red have published some news on trello.

Main changes are female character, map, maybe wolves (a screen without comment on trello), terrain materials for blocks, more advanced API... and a good surprise: a small sailing ship (dhow).

All the parts are in place if its possible one day ...

This tower windmill is a lightly modified version of one I have build on Medieval realms server (coord: 6850 4350). Its aligned to the grid. The red base is here to spot the floor level when you place it, and should be erased after. You should place the grinder yourself at the obvious place.

That's happen on Medieval realms some weeks ago. Yahwho have completely solved the problem, maybe he can share the solution. Until then, the only solution is a server reboot, at least it was on MR last time.

I think it's a feature, not a bug.

This two missing points help a lot to make an arch like the one in the screenshot. If they are three points, and not only the middle one on top, it will lead to a lot more mistakes when we place blocks on top of a triangle to make an arch. This two points left are the condition to make efficiently an quickly an arch with this method.

I hope that will stay like it is now.

Another minor issue.

On Medieval realm, thanks to Yahwho we sometime have snow on temperate biomes. However, the snow shader might need a slight adjustment: At the water's edge, the snow limit is too close to the water. IRL, waves create a snowless zone just above the water.

The point here is not to debate about last update bugs or ask new big features, but more to point out some simple noticeable things who can enhance the quality of the game.

So, that's the list of things I have noticed:

• The seat arrow is not visible in blueprints. The "Seat" object, used to make custom chair and bench, have a green arrow to materialize its orientation when you place it. However, if you include it in a blueprint, the arrow is not visible when you try to place the blueprint. It will be better if we can see it in this situation.
• Paint tool and color choice on workbench sometime don't give the exact same result. When you craft a block on workbench with some color (eg. #CFBF9F), the result will be a block with this color, but if you paint a block with the same color, you can obtain a block with a very close color (eg. #CFBF9E).
• Two useful block shapes are missing:
  • "Rounded cylinder". I often use the rounded blocks to make some noticeable stones in building (corners, arches...), but it some case I need a rounded one (gothic arch, central pillar of a helical stair...).
  • "Slope half corner (inverse)". It can be useful to make diagonal slope in alternation with regular "Slope half corner" (one triangle point up, the other down).
• Wild animals seem to be immortals. Of course, They can suffer a violent death, but never a natural death after some time. On long term server that cause accumulation of animals in some points and blocks the renewal of the population. It will be better if wild animals can die sometime without a player intervention to ensure a better repartition and respawn of the fauna.
• We can ride a horse at full speed with a broken leg (without splint). It may not be necessary to completely remove this possibility, but some adjustments can be a good idea (necessity to use a splint and/or remove the ability to sprint).

Quote from red51

Hmm... unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this issue... the code also looks correct to me Just make sure to not confuse the default values for these commands: For surfacescale, the default value is 1 1 1 (a scale of 1), while for surfaceoffset, it's 0 0 0 (an offset of 0 blocks)

Sorry, I have made more test and your right, the two commands work well. However, there is a problem which caused the confusion: "Surface scale" and "offset" are inverted at the left side of the HUD.

Thanks for the update Red, it's a very impressive work

However, I have an issue to point out :

The new command "surfaceoffset" have an effect on "surface scale" and not on "surface offset";

the "surfacescale" command works as it should.

Thank a lot Red for the detailed explanation, it's very helpfull. Thank also for the command in the next update, it will be greatly appreciated

Last small question: How many digits after the decimal point are taken into account in the parameters? 4? I do calculations to obtain the values of some parameters, this is to determine the correct rounding.

Thx Avanar for the answer, but its not that. Maybe with a screenshot it will be more clear.

With the "/size" command (in console) you have a fine control on the "size" parameter. I seach a console command who did the same for the "surface scale" and "surface offset" parameter. Actually, the only way to have some control on this two parameters is the arrows keys. It's work well on "surface offset" (if you use "/setl" command), but not on "surface scale", because this parameter is stuck on the grid when you use the arrows keys.

Is there a console command like "/size" to change manually "surface scale" and "surface offset" to a specific value?

Surface scale and offset are the "red" parameters of a block accessible through the right "ALT" key.

I know we have a good control on "surface offset" through "/setl" command, but for "surface scale" we are stuck on the grid.

Thanks Boing for the resources that you provide, that's helpful. You are right, the brake system and the drawbar need to be in focus for the next update.

If you have more documentation, I always appreciate it. I have no wood cart at my disposal to check all the details

Great work on the update

They are a missing feature that I hope to see soon : the resource cost for blueprints in survival mode. Where it is on the list ? More on the top or on the bottom ?

Thanks for your support.

Update v2, details on the first post.

Nice job Deirdre

Can I use your blueprint for a loaded hay cart in the next update of my old wood cart set? If you want I can send you the blueprint quickly.

Old wood cart set

27/05/2023 - Initial release.

27/05/2023 - Update 1.1 - Minor update for a small fix (including a "new" empty heavy cart).

01/06/2023 - Update 2.0 – More carts and variants for ancients carts

21/07/2024 - Update 3.1 - Total overhaul:

• All carts have been rebuild from the start. New carts are not exactly similar to the older versions.
• Thanks to the “local texture alignment” introduced in the last version, wood fibers are now correctly aligned on mains planks and beams, regardless of the cart orientation IG.
• 4-wheels carts (wagons) have a parking brake now.

Planed in next version : Feel free to make suggestions.

Description

It’s a set of old wood carts of different size and shape for preindustrial worlds. Most are designed to be used with horses or others draft animals (bullock, donkey, horses...). Of course, its only static objects for scenery at the moment, but that can eventually evolve if the game allows it someday.

They are tree main types of carts:

• Hand carts, with two small wheels. They are designed to be pulled by a human.
• Carts, with two big wheels. They are designed to be pulled by a single draft animal.
• Wagons, with four wheels, two medium and two big. They are designed to be pulled by two or four draft animals.

Each of theses carts exists in two different sizes (small and big), and with different trays (sticks I, Planks I & II, Box I & II). They are also some additional carts that do not fit into the previous classification :

• Hay carts in two different sizes (small and big), both in a loaded or empty variation.
• Transport cart, actually only in small size.
• The three sizes of wheels are also available separately.

Installation & usage

Just unzip the last version into your blueprint folder (usually \Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\_New Version\Blueprints).

Of course, you need to use your blueprint table to obtain the set content.

In each blueprint they are two blocks of rocks, one at the front, the other at the bottom. They allow to place the carts on the grid. For any other use, you just need to remove them after placement.

Thanks

Thanks to Deirdre for allowing the use of her "Strohgarbe / Straw sheaf" blueprint, which allows to make the loaded versions of Hay carts.

Screenshots

Thx Yahgiggle

Strange. I tested it again, and I still have exactly the same issue. However, yet we know that's not a blueprint problem. It's probably somewhere on my side. I will verify integrity of game files in steam, maybe my game is corrupted.

And yes, optimization is not done yet on this blueprint. Generally it's one of the last steps before publication.

Edit : Game integrity verified, problem persists.

Blueprint set updated !

Adding Impair modules and a lot of cornices. Description is also updated and more screenshot added.

Impair modules are useful when the room is 3, 5, 7... modules wide. Use them on top only.
