That's maybe the worst fix I've ever heard of. You're able to fill a 500 stat guy by just knocking him out in a mine and saving a load of food and a wait for refill? Do you even lose a skill point or 2 anymore? :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you KO in a mine your character is now returned to your homestead with full biles.

So you're returned immediately even if you're in a claimed mine and with full biles? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Except that's not true. The fix was to make mine supports destructible.


As for an update on the state of things, I'd love to, but I don't really have anything to say outside what has already been said; namely, that the gluttony system is what needs to be fixed first and foremost, because we feel that almost all other meaningful things we could do hinge upon it.

As for what I've been doing while waiting for that little spark of inspiration needed for the gluttony system, that, too, is as I told Chief in that interview thread; namely, code cleanups and rewrites and stuff that I never really felt I had the prerogative to do until I regained sole responsibility for the prioritization of tasks. I know it's not something that is overly interesting for y'all, but it has been extremely liberating to me. :)

As for visible changes, I have at least been able to make the water look a bit better. :)

Is it you who have tried to PM me under various random nicks, including, but not limited to, the names "Lover", "mr_fribble" and "sockmister"?

Nice Water. I'll consider that an update. :D

Thanks for clearing up the whole KO in a mine troll attempt by the Chief.

How will the new water affect game performance?

Did you really believe any of the crap the Chief said?

I haven't seen any effect on performance when I've tested it. I'll make it a switchable option before I make it public, however.

Your the father... We need to talk.

And I found my nicknames to be very unique and amusing :).

Also please get Torchpost off your hotbar. Your embarrassing both of us.
