Object controlled objects

[caasi117]

I have seen it mentioned in alot of updates, what are the and what will it do for the game?

[Teleskop]

bridges or walkable walls or shit like that

[Thedrah]

redstone type stuff so we can automate doors and lights

I really hope that when this update hits the door, we get an update to the tower that adds a hatch for the rooftop

You can move your knarr onto the roof, then accelerate and use inertion to break the wall

We have begun discussing the prospect of taking some time to fix "object controlled objects", a server engine upgrade which basically would allow for some objects to depend upon other objects in a more developed fashion. The immediate purpose of this would be to allow for objects which can actually be walked upon, which could potentially allow us to do things like walk-on-walls, rafts that can actually be walked upon and onto, non-pocket world houses, and bridges. It is a significant project, so it might be more than one week in the making. I'm not 100% that we'll go for this next week, but we want to do it at some point in the not too distant future, mostly because it seems like one of the more significant level ups we can give the game, but also because it is foundational enough that plenty of things could potentially come to depend on it, so it'd be nice to have out of the way.

I am assumed that these changes can be still on the way. It seems that without some ''pocket dimension'' buildings is to mean that the building can have a 1:1 spaces with the real world and to be in the same world mapping. Right now we can only have some previously fabricated building types with fixed looks, sizings. Will these new object controlled buildings replace the prefab buildings? Can the intentions be for us to be able with building our own buildings using some walls, stairs, ceiling constructions? I think this is a good way to be going. I think this game could be using some ''mega constructions'' like the dwarf building game. What do the people think about this one?

A more free form building system is certainly on my wishlist.

Fascinating post, Ysh. As long as they do not turn it into a brick-by-brick, inch-by-inch Minecraftian clickfest, This could be a very good development.

Minecraft was revolutionary and if the developers of this game want to take it in that direction that I think that it would make a wonderful addition there is not many better ways to express creativity in video games

It's not that Minecraft isn't brilliant. Trouble is, unless you learn how to master worldedit or somesuchthing, you are forced to construct houses brick by brick. That is incredibly tedious. I can still make some cool stuff in it, but most of them are pretty small. Imagine building a great hall - or worse, a stone tower - stone by stone and block by block, one at a time!

I find even building wall section by wall section - as in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, or Wurm Onlijn - can be a might tedious. Maybe that's my own problem. But I am just saying, I don't like that kind of tedium much.
