I was referring to his poll that he keeps bringing up. Which proves the point even further. We have no real numbers as to who wants what. It is ALL opinion. In the end the Devs make the game they want. Regardless of how loud 3 or 4 are shouting about what they want and why they would uninstall forever.

 

Royal is trying to say the majority want it safe. But all he has is the numbers from a very small turn out for a poll.

 

A poll which, unless the totals changed drastically since I looked, doesn't even support his position to begin with. There were more votes for "No safe places" than any other choice.

The bloodmoon hordes dig. This is the result of two bloodmoons:

So it's not 100%. :)

 

I have had things like this happen as well, I came to the conclusion that it was caused by us damaging the ground when we missed the zombies and once there is a hole the zombies will probably make it worse, also they do random swings which will probably sometimes hit the ground.

Lol...the poll he brought up shows the majority want zombies to reach them anywhere. You guys are funny. The poll supports Jax but now Jax has already called the poll meaningless.

 

Oopsies....

 

Dont worry someone will cook the stats in the inferno mean mode median divide and renormalise and multiply by 0.000000000001

This is a tempest in a teacup. Let the pimps implement what they plan before getting too bothered. In my experience they do things in a fair way with the means to mod away the parts you don’t like. (exhibit one: spam crafting “removal”)

 

If the most they ever do is add back in a digging ability but keep it commented out I will be a happy underground dweller regardless of how they make vanilla. I’ll be playing Swiss cheese myself :)

It’s indicative of a broken system. Silly to play that way? Yes. A silly design flaw that should just be ignored? I hope not.

 

I would not expect that digging zombies would be in the first couple of groups of leveled zombies anyway. So it would still be a strategy early on, and that seems alright to me.

I agree. I would like the capability, probably in vanilla but when it comes down to it I will play whatever they come up with. I would like the SI to work the way I want because it would seem more natural to me, but if it does not then I will build within the rules that I have been given. Same with water!

I agree

But i think it is a case for some people of alpha stage and if you mod you cant take part in bug reports of the standard game.

Sometimes the zombies kill each other (due to the random swings). So cop explosions also matter. ^^

Psuedocode it into simple rulesets

 

Sounds interesting calculating SI of an area instead of a single metre squared column.

 

I am interested how you get each connecting area to sync up.

 

I think it would be a bit like this:

==============================

All blocks have a flag saying "I am structurally sound (SS)"

If a block is removed: Add block above, North, South, East and West to check list. # could be just location pointer.

For all in check list.

if block is air : next. # Air is never SS

if block is water : goto other checks. # Water is never SS unless there are boats that are build able and we have a whole other problem.

is block below me SS, I am SS, go to end loop.

is block beside me and below it SS, I am SS (check for all four directions).

I am not SS.

Do normal FunPimps checks for SI.

end of loop.

Have I changed state, if so Add block above, North, South, East and West to check list.

Move to next block in the check list.

==============================

 

Depends a lot of data structure efficiency.

 

I think this will work. It will obviously be more intensive then the current system. It probably has holes in I am not aware of, situations it will not work. I have other ideas that would make the extra load less of a problem, but would require a lot of work on multi-server configuration.

Ooooooh that poll is meaningless. It failed to touch on some of the core points that people do want and can only acquire right now by being immune underground or via platform. Polls... Pft

Fair freaking enough.

 

Can we talk about nudging TFP to include some of the awesome player made prefabs in the game? That'd be a fun one.

Has at any time any thing posted in this forum had the smallest affect on gameplay? I hear some say the pimps don't listen, they are going to do what they want regardless of what is said. Then there are others who seem to say that they are miffed that they gave in to whiners (not my word :) ), or are afraid they will . Was wondering which it is.

 

So do we have any say on how this game will turn out. If not, all this back and forth bickering is for naught*.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* this post was made entirely so I could use the word naught...

Congratulations. It's not every day you can work the word naught in a conversation. Lol
