What...? What indexes? O.o

There's no such thing on the left hand side of the screen by default.

The only thing I can think of is something you yourself must enable by enabling debug mode, and pressing F3.

Is this stuff on the left hand side representative of what you're complaining about? If yes, Hit F3- Now it's gone.

Alternatively, If for some reason you want certain panels from the F3 menu to be visible, enable the F3 overlay and then open your inventory- Now that you have mouse control, at the top of the panels on the left side are a bunch of checkboxes for various informa... Read more

They are curated in that the devs took the time to pick specific seeds; But they are not 'built' experiences like Navezgane- They're just a specifically chosen RWG seed with whatever settings the devs found fitting.

The Pregen worlds are basically just there for people whose computer struggles to generate RWG worlds.

You can make a new map every time you start a save.

The console version has very similar limitations with the game controllers. I can't play it nearly as well on the PS4 as I can on the PC. And same goes for playing with the PS4 controller on the PC. (I do really like using the controller for driving though.)

Well....It has space around it now, Before we cram four of them into a corner with no room to do anything. :winter2019joyfultearsyul: Looks great though.

We won't be deciding things like that until the feature is in and we actually play and balance it.

No. I said previously that terrain diamonds can't fill a cube exactly.

Sure, each day is a day closer.

No. Different systems. A hand placed block on a road is not a decal mesh generated above a terrain block.

There is one planned, and it's been hinted at off and on over the years. I think some more hints will be dropping with a21.

It's fun to speculate about what it will end up being, and this isn't the first thread on it. Maybe go find somewhere else to troll?

But what if it is the true excuse and calling it out is simply telling it how it is? If we can't tell the truth about the cause because someone like you thinks it just sounds like a bad excuse then how can we communicate?

Alpha 16 was one of the buggiest versions of the game aside from a17. The only reason people say it's the best, is because it was the last version that still had some of the LBD system left.

In that regard, a15 would have been the best, but it wasn't around for as long as a16 was.

You have to know what the OP uses to set the bar for "enjoyable". Apparently it wasn't set on being able to have long-term saves or riding a minibike across the map safely.

I don't remember, but I was and am working on the decal shader, which is not a systems change. Just a change to rendering the decals we have on roads.

AO draws shadows where inside edges are. It does not make things disappear. Those bugs are normally with the occlusion manager, which has some fixes in A21.

A21 will be a big visual enhancement because of all the new art and custom decorative items they've added. Also, redoing and balancing the major systems of the game are exactly what they want to be doing right now.

Last week we made some graphics improvements to fix two old issues. Ambient occlusion did not render on certain plants properly, so that was fixed by switching to a new mode. Unity's screen space reflections were disabled because they barely did anything, so we switched SSR systems, which now definitely shows reflections and has more features than Unity's and complements the reflection probe system.

If you had put an LCB down, it's easy to scope the area of your base with a frame. Once you've done that, finding the entrance is usually rather elementary.

30k ping means that you didn't exclude the client from security software. This is covered in detail in the Support section of the forum. I've moved your thread to the correct section so you might find it.

The game had cube shaped blocks for everything up until around Alpha 8. They experimented with a number of different shapes for terrain voxels until they settled on the diamond (octahedron) they have been using since that time. It is unlikely having tried both shapes that they will return to the old cube shape since they intentionally abandoned it in the first place and have been aware of the terrain to crafted block gap since that time. As others have stated they will probably look at solutions when they don't have more pressing issues to resolve.
