[Alpha 20 Dev Diary]

Hi. Hope you all doing good and well .

 Madmole, please i got a question:

 Wonder why Factory_01, and Factory_02 didn't spawn on my random map.

 Did you guys renamed those?

Should i put any special number for the Seed?

 I did check by Teleport POI feature. Only Factory_03 show up, and it's incredible, but i miss the other two.

 

 Thanks for your awesome work.

 Hello, hoping yuo doing well, please, i got a question. You are erasing all clothing and armors as i know it today in order to add Outfits? So if i want to wear a Cowboy Hat, but no outfit have a Cowboy Hat... And i'm saying Cowboy Hat, but you know what i mean.

So, if i want to wear Just nerdy glasses  there is no other option but to wear all the elements for that upper part of the Nerdy Outfit?

 

 Right now, i don't know what to think about that change. Lov the new outfits, but as an add-on to what we have right now.

 I'm loving the game so far, btw.

 

 Can't wait for the new Alphas to come out!
