Lesson: don't use exploits... ever. :ugeek:

Joke aside, I agree. The players should be notified of some of these fixes instead of stealth patched.

I'll pay money to prevent other people from seeing a comprehensive list of changes. The forbidden knowledge must remain forbidden.

I (almost) think known exploits and obvious bugs should be stealth patched as a matter of principle.

On your first wall tile? Or are you just digging through the walls that are dropping dust?

Anecdotally it seems there's more cave-ins on iron bearing rock but I suspect that may just be me.

We had 2 cave-ins, it's always been like this. Some areas just have more randomity to it

3 first tiles, yes, in different areas, and a lot of the secondary digging had cave dust so, obviously, not mined them. Also, in my area, i've found 4 cave complexes but prospected cassiterite only in two places in two caves, and nothing else all over.
I feel that some thingies in the game should be more "easy" for the player too: i've placed a stone wall around my claim with the idea that it will be replaced by palisade in the future.
When i started building the pally, i found that stone wall have a lower treshold in water nearness than pally, so i had to literally redesign 3/4 of my claim area, and i cannot understand why we can't have such simple things all the same. Another example: tide pools and tar pits are exactly the same as other regional resources, why it's not possible to inspect them to understand when they will respawn things? Mind that i'm okay with totally randomness and NO EXPLORE even on regional resources (so people will stop camping there waiting the last second for his bot to log in and nab the resource), but the problem is: why so many things looks so different and out of place?
The same is for food and his variables, or the rare cave ins we can have even under supports: these things are just confusing, and we should get rid of this confusion, having a more uniform game in terms of expectance of the player based on the game rules.

The search feature would be even cooler if it also searched through recipe ingredients, showing ingredient matches below recipe matches. I suspect that's not possible since client doesn't know recipes.
