LET US ROCK AND STONE WHILE REVIVING/ACTIVATING AGAIN THERES NO REASON IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED

please

It was technical debt, that needed to be corrected due to it being a potential liability.

did the devs take the feedback for the new secondary weapons into account? The wave cooker still feels the same as it did in the beta....

Yes

That would be a great excuse if we were smart enough to understand what it means.

Hah, as if we need excuses!

But technically it means that there’s been a cleanup of systems, that due to messy code and lack of optimization. So, it’s not been removed for what it did, but for what it was.

Why a week later for console? My fault for not seeing it earlier but I’m so bummed out right now lol

We need time to test it, and the cert process takes time. It allows us to get the first bunch of fixes in too.

Potential liability how? If it was an issue what let it go for more than 2 years without being corrected? (not angry, genuinely curious)

It means that the system did a lot of things that wasn’t intended or did it in unintended ways with some side effects. So, the system being corrected also removed some of the unintended behaviour. So, the fix wasn’t really to remove the ability to rock and stone while interacting, but to the system that did it. These things slip through unnoticed when something was made a long time ago, but since then has had new layers added. While it was fine to begin with as long as it only did one thing, the new layers will introduce issues.

So, as we add to the game we introduce new mechanics on top of old ones, that weren’t built with that in mind. At some point this lack of optimization can result in bugs, so we rework old systems so they will work better. Interacting has gotten a rework this time, and the rework also removed the ability to rock and stone while interacting.

I honestly don’t know if it will be back at some point, but we are monitoring the feedback, so we’ll see.

Out of curiosity (and shameless desire for moar V), could that make way for a new system that does what the old did, but cleanly?

I am ignorant, so if that's a hefty task pay no mind ><

It’s definitely possible, but it’s not me you need to convince.

Yes, the mod creators needs to update them. That’s the price of update engine components.
