ArcticKitsu,

Well for me it was mostly excavating dinosaur bones, amber containing prehistoric flies with dino dna, gems and flint and rare items in jars are what I was thinking mostly. I think Red51 is going to implement smaller NPC animals at some points (spiders and snakes for example) but nothing really giant like Minecraft spiders. But I can totally get behind your idea of collecting bones to form a complete skeleton and making displays out of them.

If you recall the huge texture and tree update that came before the biomes updates, the new objects were placed rather seamlessly into the existing world. I'd imagine that implementing dungeons and temples and wood shakes into the existing explored areas would not be a big deal as long as no construction objects are nearby where the new structure will be placed. So hopefully the conversion script can delete a cube of unmodified mountain interior and replace it with dungeons.

I hope those round objects are indeed scroll jars covered in spider webs. I hope that the bones will be new objects we can collect or harvest. We do need bones anyways in order to make some primitive crafting tools so this is definitely a step in the right direction towards all that stuff we've speculated about.

Display More

You're now making me wish & desire for dinosaur skeleton displays from this dungeon update, something which may be causing Red51 to tear hair from his head. But yeah, my suggestion & yours is where it should be going, especially from that Minecraft dinosaur mod I shared with you months ago. That's been fun & rewarding that I'll happily make a museum to display my dinosaur displays, similar to how it's done in 'Animal Crossing: New Leaf' heh. Fun fun!

And looking forward to the smaller animal NPC side of things. More life. The rabbit alone is fun allowing more to be had.

And hope you're right because it simply means more to play with. Scrolls to also put into bookshelvings, desks, and such. That be sweet Be sweet even having bones used as cutting tools and such, as they once were. So many uses.

Nice! This is what I love seeing on my updates. That moment when you're playing a web game called 'KanColle' & 'SHooting Girl' to then see that Rising World has received an announcement update being dungeons. Sweet!

Loving the retro vibe (90's cave diving game. Morrowind also) coming off from both the images, as well as mention of abandoned cabins. Here's to hoping there's a way for them to spawn in already spawned chunks for those multiplayer servers by checking if there's player made blocks in a given radius, or not. It's been done before in Minecraft that I'm hoping it can be done in Rising World also by backwards scanning as to not crush people's hope & dreams this early. Granted, we shouldn't be attached to our worlds, yet we are. I am, and it's my fault

But yeah, hope those 'rounded' spiderweb parts shall contain various items within. Recipies, or whatever. Loving how foxfire is mentioning excavating bones because that's what I'm wanting to do also so we can display stuff in our homes. This'll give me a reason to make a museum, if we're given options this early to make skeletal displays. We'll see what Red51 has planned heh.

Hope there's no oversized spiders in RW because those are massive webs, Skyrim style.

Dirt & sand. yeah.

It's insanely tedious though. When you're trying for a river or canal you'll have those 'empty' voids underwater which needs to be filled that I'm wishing & strongly hoping for Red51 to change the coding that when you place the water blocks that it'll reach down in a column until it hits a solid block. Not spread out, Minecraft style, but just a column thing.

Removing it is also a pain that everything always leads into creative that I'm trying to shy away from it as much as possible, yet may be forced to just use it to smooth things out

These are indeed nice, and as to be expected. I'll just copy & paste a few from the other thread.

- Modern Coal Train:

There's some power to push & bull your minecarts

What Geneo said. I agree with it all.

People are stubborn that they must insist in having an economy in their game, such as myself, that we're constantly forcing it in, yet we just can't make it work. It does for awhile, yet never for long enough that it just goes bust. There's always something that just gives up that you go back to bartering. You try to by then expanding it onto other times by giving everything a price to simply go bust. Figuring out how to price items, it then goes bust. It's like trying to put a bed blanker over a train, or something over-sized. Myself & other players also have the pride that we would rather build things up ourselves without others lending a hand because 1) We want to show we've done it with our own blood, sweat, and tears with that personal touch. & 2) Economy like that tends to collapse from over-reaching & poor supply & demand.

The way I feel this working best is through bartering system that we could use elements from both 'Millenaire mod' for Minecraft & the way 'Timber & Stone' does things, yet minus coins. I need logs, and they need fish, so we trade that. We then make use of that, more so on player side of things.

Check this out: http://www.minecraftforum.net/…-new-villagers-in-players
[This had an interesting trading system that you can give them your supplies for them to build with it. They would eat food, and such. They would however give you tokens in return, or years back when I played it.]

When we get NPC Traders it be sweet for them to ask for items they need so we can then as for items we need to trade such [bonus points if they make use of those items]. I guess some light 'token' system could be in place to purchase from NPC supply stock at their huts, villages, and such, if absolutely necessary. Roaming merchants also, yet once things get overly monetized shall be when everything crashes. If Red51 can figure out how to make NPC Traders/traveling merchants more lively then I can see the bartering system being used more efficiently. Lively, in that they have more filters to read through, and that they can even add percentages & random number generations on what they need & how likely they'll accept. Token wise, Red51 could probably price the items in region-specific tokens, yet you would then be locked out having to grind when you could simply exchange one needed item for another. It's somewhat tricky when you want an economy going that I'd simply prefer bartering. Yet, a part of me wants to have a long-term RPG type bartering that my wordings becoming confused. I want to see NPCs make use of it that it's ruining my flow of thought.

If we can get NPCs into the mix then it be sweet if they can reward you with region specific food & resources. They want something from another region, you can give such to them. They'd then give something local back to you. Fun fun.

I favour bartering for one needed item for another. What you don't need can be happily used by another person. It makes me wonder though how deep Red51 wants to code bartering on the NPC side because it does get pretty nasty with what players demand. Player economy is just rotten that it just ruins things. Another fun example of a turned bartering system being, for example: I've seen people on Vortac's server making the sort of storage places I make by putting what they need in a public storage house for others to use. What we don't need is given to others, and we put things we don't want there for others to use. That's another form of it.

- Rising World - Niska Village: Ep 5 - Home Tour:

Finally able to record a new video that felt like throwing a little BBQ party for completing my home. Not fully, but enough to be homely & functional. Celebrating that I managed to make a backyard, have the main floor done, as well as finally decorating the second floor. Even talking about Pokemon GO, showing off my spiraling gold mine, as well as being a bit hasty on things. Even thanking people for the views, even if briefly. Many thanks!

Even made note of the sound bacon makes that it makes me wonder if that's proper. I would [Recommend this type of bacon placement & frying noise].
-----------

Image Wise:

1) Alternate view of my backyard with the maple trees waiting to grow.
2) Niska HQ with the main room being laid out as one would see in naval meeting rooms & various school type animes (Trinity Seven, KanColle, & etc).
3) Backyard after the threes finally sprouted to younglings. Patiently waiting for the main results.
4) Bismarck's throne chair is back! Back in my room, and this time with a properly placed portrait. I really can't wait for NPC Traders and their customization options. Please! Please have something close to Bismarck's clothing level, even in the slightest. Doesn't have to be that accurate, just close!
5) Main room after much curious experimentation & furniture decorating. Various Bismarck (waifu) portraits & one of myself in Bratislava, Slovakia in 2008.
6) The Kitchen-living room divide with Shinki Sharatang hung to the left & Varakitsu (my arctic fox personification) to the right).
7) Living room is messy because there's no TV displays, or TV objects. Needing some TV objects, and even a proper bookcase. A functional bookcase to store books, ones you even collect & crafted. Varakitsu with a halloween lantern also seen in this image.

I kind of wish I waited a bit to cut my ep 5 into two parts, yet you'll now have to join me in ep 6 (Thursday, or Friday) for some added fun. Time to let this video sink in & saturate views again. I guess for episode 6 I'll have to wait & show you the end results because there's still much to do for my home. Maybe even working on Niska HQ to have fun showing that off.

Not bad. Did share a few, yet I guess I can share them again for this thread. Let's start off small to then work our way up.

Dug this back up from my 'railway' thread on steam. Let's add some coal mining trains into the mix...........

- Modern Coal Train:

- Long-Haul [Yet others above works fine]

We really are going to be traveling FAR in this world that hauling goods is a must in these.

Sorry for the length! I got way into this because I can happily justify this

-----------------

Something to add onto this:

Dragons & Dragon Riding:

I'm not against having dragons, yet they would need to be VERY rare. When you encounter them they should be special, fearsome, and such. Maybe not always hostile, yet highly territorial (neutral-hostile), or 'spiritual' connection to the land with which you shouldn't mess with them. Targeting the eyes & mouth should be a special way to go about attacking them, IF they are hostile. Yet, you wouldn't wan to mess with them. Neither did those in the 'Gate' Anime I mentioned above. Another way to treat dragons would being able to raise dragons from their eggs, if you do manage to find any, so you can chose to ride them around. I'm saying this in that finding a dragon would take you ages to find, let alone finding an egg being that much harder. The growth period from baby to adult would be a tedious task (let's say a real week of game time) that you would treat it with the most care. Feeding it, and such. When you do fly it you'd be able to go anywhere, yet you would only go so far before resting again. Maybe a day's worth of resting, depending on how far you go. Basically something which would allow you to go from one camp to another to eat & drink as to note abuse how far you can fly. Even the Dragon would need resting.

Yes, I did borrow this idea from 'Lego Worlds', yet it's also an idea from vanilla Minecraft because eggs serve no use in there that it be interesting to see what Rising World could do. I would find it amusing to realistically care for a dragon that it would negate any "useless" fears about them. That, and I also blame Pixelmon mod for Minecraft for giving me the ability to fly on a Pidgeot to fly above the land. That's an awesome feeling spoiling you so much heh. Trying to imagine this in Rising World.....that's just awesome to me. Granted, the world generation needs to be polished to be smoothly rendering to handle flying entities, even flying vehicles. Helicopters & blimps/airships.

I guess you would have to think of 'Game of Thrones', or something to justify them. For me, I justified them via Minecraft & Lego Worlds. Maybe even Skyrim fears. AGAIN, keep in mind the 1% rarity I'm trying to justify it with. You'd have to spend your time searching for the fantasy biome, then seek out its nest, grab the egg, spend a real in game week hatching & feeding it, then seeing it gradually grow as you play. When you get it, it's epic & worthwhile. By then, you'd have used your horse & vehicles to get around.

-------------------------

Jester Jay! Welcome! Welcome, and thanks for posting thoughts on my level. I love them! I'm currently playing around with some in thought to see how Rising World can have fun with them.

1) Biomes: I agree with this! I would love to see various types of biomes, even ones you wouldn't see on earth. Again, look at my point made at #4 above with continents. I'm wanting to bring up Star Wars Galaxies for how awesome the terrain was with when you traveled to various 'landmarks' that you'd see neatly shaped natural landmarks. Crystal landmarks and such. Maybe I should be pointing to Xenoblade Chronicles X because the terrain seems similar, yet different in that same manner. That game is also newer & easier to access than SWG.

2) Floating Islands: This is something I can get behind, yet something which needs to be treated with care. Don't just make something float for the sake of floating. Don't even think of floating grassy pillars, yet something which can play into the day-night cycle, or even specific weather conditions. Even various forms of elements, even playfully from real world science. I approve of them though, just don't use the ones I searched up on Google.

2.1) Floating Structures: If you want to play with floating stuff in the air, then you can try putting floating vehicles. Airships, fantasy battleships, and such. I'd recommend taking a peak at the likes of 'Last Exile' (anime) for some thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. These stuff becomes very touchy.

3) Unique Enemies: Something I can also agree with as a whole. Shy away from the whole fantasy you guys are aware of and dive into the Star Trek, Anime, & Subnautica realm. Even the likes of Skyrim. Any entity Red51 wants to create, he should. He should happily play with anything and add them in. I would play around with the idea of shapeshifters, phantoms, territorial entities, among invasive types. There's many to play around with, yet Red51 needs to feel encouraged to do so. I want to encourage Red51, if willing, to just try playing around with various entities. Hell, I'd even accept Gargoyles to be tamed to turn into decorational statues for your home, yet would keep your area safe from bandits, and such. At first these Gargoyles would be a threat to you, but if you can tame them (in whatever manner) they'll be yours to use as a trophy, a pet, and a defensive asset to fend off bandits. Maybe even join you later. If you want them to stick in the rare 'Fantasy biomes', then be my guest. Just don't knock the thought

4) Stronger Bosses: I'd agree, yet not sure where to go with this. We need more wild hostile predators first, then bandits, then others. Dungeon bosses also. I'd keep dragons away, until we can solidify the hostile landscape. It's indeed needed, yet not sure what to insert in a boss manner. Mini-boss, yes. Bosses, not so much. I'd lean more on having dungeon entities roaming about to encourage you to fight them at the dungeons. Look at Empyreon with drones coming your way until you shut down the tower. You'd probably need to do the same to keep them in their little territory so they don't spread out. That, and to keep you on alert.

5) Magic/Magical Weapons: This one is touchy because you can't go too far into the deep end. I'd say having stuff from Skyrim & Dragon's Dogma would be the way to go by upping a 'ball spark' to see in the night with the light from the ball. It be time limited, if handy. Maybe even the ability to float in the air, go underwater, and such. Just things tied to how long you can use them, and even durability. You would have to recharge these tools in a painstaking manner by traveling WAAAAY back to the settlements, or whichever. Getting to them being even trickier. I even messed around with the idea of being able to use certain leaves (oversized tree leaves) as floating vessels to travel across the land. Nothing too crazy, or bizarre. I'd keep away from enchanting tools, yet having 'light uses' in magic be interesting.

Again, another anime to make note of being 'Flying Witch'. Check it out

6) Medieval-like Armor & Equipment: This is something I can strongly get behind. I can flood Red51 with various equipment & weapon suggestions that he'd go insane heh. I can basically point Red51 to Skyrim mods, Anime fantasy gear, as well as some games of interest. Seeing as how customization is being a big part of our character I see why not. This is something we can ALL get behind.

Possible NSFW via ads (use adblock plugin): https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2300058 - Click the 'Pixiv Fantasia' tag & just skim. There's many I can link, yet ironically can't link because not giving myself enough time.

7) Modern-like Armor & weaponry: Something I & others can get behind. As for steam-punk, that seems more of a mod thing at this point.

Item Modifiers & Enchantment: Something I probably can't get behind because it makes things a bit too complex, yet could probably see some particle effect changes. Turning some sparkles from white to blue & red, or a mix of whichever. Maybe even being able to store various sorts of 'fantasy' energy sources to use longer, and such. Basically still keeping things to the basic without needing to do spreadsheet gaming.

9) NPCs & Markets: This is something we need either way. We need NPCs, and we need markets. We need interaction, immersion, and trade in both a 'realistic' & 'fantasy' manner. Again, it be interesting to stumble across bandits to then loot from them, or to just do trading & bartering. That, or to learn and unlock recipes, or learn new ways of co-existing with the world. The fantasy element may even be how you could be taught in how to use various energy sources, food types, being healed, among other things. More wandering NPCs, as well as settled types. Markets to sell unwanted goods for wanted goods, regardless of value. If it needs to be sold, it'll be sold. Yet everything has a use in Rising World that it's all fine & dandy. It would actually be fun to bump into some dark elves (again, my friend loves them) that it be amusing to see them interacting with you in various ways in that village, nomadic, or a town-like experience.

10) Customization Options: Something we need either way, and should be getting in the "Player model & animation update" this coming August, or September. Being able to wear capes, jackets, shirts, and various sorts of goodies.

I guess the way the fantasy world could be unique is its equipment & clothing set, which can't be crafted or obtained in any other manner. Would love to show examples, yet the ones I'm seeking hard to find. Basically 'classier' outfits. I guess one could also say more anime-styled animal clothing accessories (cat ears, and such), yet still sticking to "realistic fantasy" ways.

11) Progression: 50/50, and unsure about this. I guess progression is there in the form of teching up, yet I guess that's where skill trees shall come in. Red51 did mention something about them, yet hope it's not point based, but activity based. Activity based progression is the better way to go about it. The more you do something the better you get. The more you mine the better you get. Skill trees is just stupid when you use points.

Also, fighting wise I'd see it via equipment, yet what are we really going to fight? That's all in the unknown. Bandits & wild animals. Even dungeon related threats. It makes me curious though if we can "upset" fantasy settlements to attack us when we break their social rules. Stealing, and such. I'm curious where we can take this.

Damn, I wish I caught this thread earlier because I'm seeing paranoia again. Let me put things on the table so you can judge things from that perspective. Also, I don't want to discourage Red51 because he'll then find making Rising World boring. Updates would become slower. It should be as fun for us as as it is for him so let's not barricade any thought, or such out of fear. Once you start blocking off one route, it'll block another, and another, because people are picky. I'm seeing tons of pickiness over monsters, and it's also spilling over to Fantasy. Let's block such dislikes to these two, no more. Rising World is fun, and we should try keeping it fun by being "open minded"

1) Red51 loosely mention on steam forums a roughly a year ago he "desired" (in a loose playful sense) that he would enjoy making a "fantasy biome" type addition. Just simple as that. Loosely, if happily, mentioning he had a desire to play around with the thought of adding a fantasy biome. Don't just assume typical dragons & magic, yet think more in how it can be "realistic". Try to make it more nitty gritty.

2) Realism is the way this game is going, and 'Savage Lands' is probably a game you should check out. Realistic fantasy, similar to Skyrim also. Skyrim has various environmental (Frostfall mod) & diseases (i.e rockjoint from wolves) which effects how your character behaves. To see where Rising World could go is to dive into the survival elements of Skyrim.

3) For any anime fans may want to check out the anime called 'GATE'. Here's a link for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_(novel_series). The anime is basically a Japanese Self Defense Force being attacked by fantasy type Romans seeking to expand, yet they appear in Tokyo via a GATE causing Japan to defend itself & expand into the fantasy realm of that world. They fight using tanks & such, yet any magic is kept on the down low. This is how I would see Rising World treating fantasy elements. Disregard any 'World of Warcraft' type mentalities & tropes, and etc.

4) Red51 mentioned that the whole world (ones you create) would be a massive ocean biomes with everything being various shaped islands. You'll have islands, continents as islands, and etc when the game is completed. That's his thoughts, or what I remember him saying. Now play around with this thought a bit in how you can have one continent focused purely on 'fantasy' related elements. Think of how 80% of the world is our form of realistic, yet that 20% can be put into fantasy. The world where you see Dark Elves with technology (not nature lovers), or something with phantoms living on sparkly floating islands which can only be seen at night. Think outside the box, yet keeping it tied to realism in a 'Star Trek' manner.

4.1) For those that claim to have played Minecraft should be aware of the mod 'Twilight Forest'. If you don't want fantasy elements in the main world, then lt's have a rare connection to an alternate realm (Gate anime style & Twilight Forest style) for those that ARE interested to go further exploring. Even to socialize, and co-exist. [ http://hexxit.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Forest ]

4.2) I'm sure most of you heard of 'Valkyria Chronicles'. I want to bring up some thoughts only from the first game to keep things simple by mentioning that we can use those weaponized lances in place (next to) of spears and such. Just some alternative ways to fight. That, and they could be given to these "rare" fantasy points of interest. Even the technology of having vehicles powered by crystals should be interesting. Having to charge these crystals in specific conditions which would encourage trade among players, and profession specializations. I'd shy away from exaggerated weapons such as oversized axes & swords, yet those lances would be something of interest to have displayed in your home as trophies.

Sorry for always sounding on edge, yet there's always something managing to get under my skin. Always one person doing something stupid, or just something not working as it should. Sorry if I'm offending people, but it's also because of people I'm constantly frustrated. I don't want to raise a big fuss because I don't want to stress out Vortac also, yet people don't speak up. People need to speak up. Speak the hell up. I'm now trapped in a stupid hill-side plot on Vortac's server because people can't speak up, which was nice when I got there, then someone had to cut my road off with their dirt path that I want to beat them silly. Sorry Vortac for venting here, but damn. Always something silly & stupid setting me off.

I jumped back into my Niska Village to carry back the Maple Tree road & wooden fencing because of such that I now have some things to suggest:

---------------

- NPC Comrades - Pathing & Errands: Just something to spin off from NPC Traders is the ability for either us to give them pathways to travel, or to give them things to seek out. Maybe even both because we're just busy. You would tell the NPCs where to harvest food from, where to get/gather water, what trees to harvest from (a general area), and to also a general section where to mine. All simple stuff that you'd simply be placing 'flags' for the NPC to use when idling so they can chose to walk around a set pathway as if a real entity. I'm thinking along the lines where you can hire them to be your bodyguards, yet when not so that they'd be on randomly triggering timers to follow the pathways to go on "errands", or actually do errands, to appear busy-bodied. Something to fill the atmosphere up.

Basically again think 'RimWorld', Sims 1, or even as basic as 'Timber & Stone' game where they idle until you give them paths and tasks to do. Basically everything sticking to simple player inputs, and maybe some hidden timer scripts of when they consider to eat, when they'll drink, and when they'll "randomly" walk around to appear full of life.

- Silver Ore Uses: I guess Red51 knows what he's doing here, yet it be sweet if we could make use of silver ore because it's gradually stocking up in my chest at home. Basically various silver ware, such as tea vases, tea pots, spoons, mirrors, trophies (Maybe even referencing WW2 in various ways), making mirrors with glass, and even with piping. I guess silverware related objects could be introduced when we can display items freely within the world in the fashion of when you press 'q'. Would be a sweet way to display items which would otherwise be hidden. All those ingots, food, and other sorts of items needing to be displayed. Even Googling deeper has me seeing various Medieval armor uses, chain links, and even lanterns (one of which was shared above). Can't wait to see more awesome variety.

[Linked by Foxfire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver#Applications ]

- Portable Storage: This has been mentioned in various other forms, yet it be neat to have a storage device you could pull around to store stuff as you mine. Minecart storage chests, horse bags, horse carts & boats would be what one would thing, yet something smaller & personal. I guess a wheelbarrow would be the way to go because you can pick it up & move it as you please.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbarrow ]. Maybe for the fun of it, even a suitcase of various sorts, or something with wheels no bigger than a wheelbarrow.

- Sakura, autumn Maple, or Crab Apple Trees: Basically something colorful to line the road with to allow people to visually decorate their roads. Maybe allow blooming cycles for trees to turn red or pink every 7th in game day, or something. To turn orange, red, or something "colorful'. Even as their own tree, or via seasons. Whatever works.
-------

There's probably more, yet probably forgot them. I however did desire a miner's helmet when going gold mining, yet that can wait because I know Red51 wants to make that.

You're very welcome. Thanks to Vortac I've also been experimenting with maple trees that I'll now carry that back to my main world whenever I can. People blocked me in so I can't build as freely as I want, yet experimenting is something I can still do on my private world. Seeing & being on Vortac's private server with the 'Cherry Blossom lane' is making me desire blooming sakura trees which blooms, as in the image below from 'Flying Witch' ep 4 anime. There's so many beautiful scenes in anime which I can also see done in Rising World. The roadway on Vortac's server needs this, as does our world.

When we get an garden update we'll be going full blown decorative heh. We're desiring the same thing so I'm glad we're hitting the same notes

Well, they should now poke at their curiousity with the dungeon update coming around. Then player models & Customizations after that for some bonus added fun.

That, and it seems Red51's buddies updated the forum overnight that I'm now seeing indented quotes in postings. All the nofications have been reset, and such, that it's fun seeing where things went.

And something I mentioned in my previous posting about what the plan was . Maybe I'm just going crazy.

But yeah, can't wait to see the raccoon finding various ways to get into people's chests to steal some food. You harvest tons of food so shouldn't be that much of an issue. Red51's idea which I want to see comically added into the game, among the things discussed here.

Quote from george1979k

I am very curious about a rough estimate of water physics implementation.!!. Did anyone hear something?
I mainly and personally desire stuff that I cannot build in the game(collision,water physics,mechanical stuff,lighting etc).
We can build chairs,tables and all but it wouldn't be bad to have some added.!

Give it about 2 years, or so. Other things need to find its way in which shall lead into dynamic water, and all that much more. Still needing 1) Dungeons 2)player models & Customization 3) Horses, camels, & boats, 4) Cooking 5) minecarts & rail 6) anything else & beyond.

I'd say what I listed is being highly generous of giving each update a 2 month period to be made & polished. That's the average of how long (1 month, yet 2 is being respectful) that it gives you 12 months (1 year). Now, double that for the nitty-gritty details for swamps, volcanoes, jungles, & various other biomes. Even with electricity, pluming, among various other sorts of features listed on the features page. Yeah, from the rumours & plans that Red51 has mentioned pushes things to two years in the future.

*sighs* I feel majority of my posts have been missed that I'll of course receive those types of replies that people shall side with Zork. Not trying to be rude in replying back, nor attention seeking, but yeah. Guess it'll happen because newer information trumps all.

Did note that these things shall not to be expected, yet that's what suggestions are to keep improving things. Red51 simply wanted NPC Traders to have basic RPG elements. Basically Pokemon gameboy game style of moving in any direction, scripting patterns, conversation bubbles, and simple bartering. We're now (or loosely planned) into obtaining wandering merchants after the constant requests for NPCs in our world from myself & others.

Not sure where I noted that, if on here or the forum, yet it's now back on here. And I also agree that most of this should be vanilla as much as possible because my Minecraft worlds constantly kept getting wiped & corrupted from all the modding. I want it as much vanilla as humanly possible that there's really no frustrations to be had on mod side of things. Maybe even some sort of script to constantly weed out the modded stuff to replace it back with vanilla content, or similar. Some safeguards, even on NPC village side & such.

But hey, I hope the post above has been noted because I nearly lost it in time. No joke. I hope it doesn't go to waste.

Barbie = Australian

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue

Barbie, BBQ, grill. It's what we're currently using to grill the meat we gain from animals. Mmmm, BBQ'd salmon & shrimp

Trading blueprints, yet needing the resources to build those blueprints should be the way to go. Treating blueprints as tradable recipes. Yeah. WOuld be sweet if we could learn recipes this way also by it having traded to us, being found, and such. Some would simply be off limits until a vendor, player, or someone else came across. Would even give servers the ability to limit & give access to specific types.

Learning from the settlements, bandits, merchants, among others.

Alright, bumping this thread because I want to make note of this train of thought, which I lost, to recently have regained is dealing with NPC Traders. It could deal with settlements, in a way, but this is more of what Red51 mentions of seeking player-made blocks.

Seeing as how Red51 mentioned we'll have a roaming merchant that it be wise for this merchant to have a coding of seeking out player-made structures, similar to how there's a code to find the 'most' human made blocks there to find your spawn. Just use the similar type coding of going from one chunk to the next (as quietly as possible), until this merchant calmly travels from one region to the next. From one settlement to the next. Even allowing to to go near dungeons, various NPC related settlements, among others. Even dungeons.

I'm also relating this to Skyrim with the roaming vendors there being 'Khajit Caravans' with them appearing in one settlement to the next. They're there one moment, gone the next. It be odd to see this in one settlements being vast in Rising World, yet be neat to see this merchant roaming both on foot, as well as in a horse & in vehicles.

- Bonus: Any future vegetation could be bartered for (yet currency could also be a thing) by gaining access to corn, wheat, among numerous others. Even completed foods, like poutine, Won Ton soup, pizza, among other local & foreign foods of various points of interests. Even various teas, orange juice, tomato juice, watered down beer, wine, among other sorts. Red51 mentioned he wanted to tone down the food-related vegetation, thus this being a good way to go about it. That, and to steal such from bandits also whom steal from your chest also. Even having a Raccoon to spy in the manner of "Raccoon showed me how to drink maple syrup from a tree" (first nations style), type thing.

From the rumours I noted on Steam forums that the animals shall have their collisions reworks because of the dungeons update which shall carry over to the animals, from the monsters/hostiles. Not sure how true this is anymore because Red51 noted that dungeons shall be empty upon release, yet it was because of the dungeon update that it was supposed to be "two birds with one stone" type implementation. Once dungeons comes out there should be something there to keep the AI in place, yet Red51 shall have to surprise us.

I"m really wanting to start farming of animals so I can make use of the BBQ options we have, yet can't because animals are limited. I don't mind being a lettuce & brocolli lover, but I can't wait to start grilling fish if we can't farm animals any time soon. Fish & fishing shall be awesome. Same with keeping mussels & oysters contained in an area, yet allowing them to over-populate so you can harvest them.

But I do love this suggestion because it's needed, yet so is everything else at this point.

Makes me wonder how people would view having tipi's, and various other sorts of variations of this from around the world to choose from.

Bedouin tents, Mongolian tents, among others. There's many to make note of :). Should be sweet actually putting a chest in one as a mini-home, type thing. Rising World is sweet that way if it would allow us that option.
