Game Development: Grasshopper Previews

[GamingRAM]

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about such big exclusivity of critters in each biome....

But now that there's more I'm really appreciating it. More biome exclusive critters = more diversity.

it switches direction on you when trying to locate a tree, at least for me. If this is not client related (Using Amber), please fix.

It's only a bug with :cam bad, which is not supported. May look into it, but it's not a priority for me.

Ah. So just switching camera modes (Shift+c in Amber) seems to work good enough for me. Thxs!

Grasshoppers should be able to be ground into flour so that those gluten free hearthlings out there have food options.

Mmm... Leaping yummy! Better just fry until crunch %)



...or can make lollipops:

what terrain do they spawn on?

[2d0x]

Grasshopper... Grass, I suppose.

Didn't you know you fish for them? They require chum as bait and a quality 100+ rod for a 3% chance.

Pls make grasshoppers available as fishbait

Ah, right, meant to do that, but forgot. Will fix, thanks.

I opened the thread, saw the pic and for an excited moment I thought we had purple stone, bit on the bright side tho, lol ... talking of which, I did some research, , and you can get various types of blue and purple stone, pls Jorb consider giving us a dark blue and purple colour stone in a future update.

A preview system is definitely handy in determining which mats go where but tbh I was hoping any kind of preview tool would be more like Apxs tool and show the finished effect or even one that showed amounts of materials, but it is ofc still a welcome addition.

We are considering making it so that you, using a store sketch, can reset a variable material slot on an already existing building to a material of your choice. Let us know what you think about that!

Now this, this is something that I can get excited about! Pls, pls, do this! It is sooo disheartening on a big build when you have made a mistake in calculations or error or even simply that the effect of the material isn't as you expected ... I wanted to move when I made that awful tower last world, lol, but I couldn't because everything else was already established, I had to look at it everyday for the rest of the world ...
You would most definitely get a bit more of my money with this.

What is the biome of grasshoopers? Grass? What kind of? I did spend like an hour to find them - no results!
