Re: Game Development: Loose Velvet
I really need to keep up with the announcements: Mined out a loose rock and thought wtf is this?
I'm glad I checked this out before I tried to destroy it (I tried picking it up first
)
And absolutely had PTSD response to the falling rocks animation around the mine supports - especially since I just recovered from a cave in!
But hey, I love surprises
Terrific patch! Thanks!

Empty button is fine, but I have to say I miss the trough gauge.

Historical context
About the "cycle of abuse" -thing, I have to admit that Jorb basically did this with the random boulders:
1) Throw a monkey wrench into an existing system.
2) Tell people to solve them by updating their bots.
3) Go radio silent for two years when people point out that everyone not botting just effectively lost area mining.
B-tier: Mining now
C-tier: Mining as it was before patch "Ghost Apple Gelatin" (2015-2021), Mining between auto-chip and "Loose Velvet" (2023-2023)
F-tier: Mining between "Ghost Apple Gelatin" and "whenever they finally hotfixed auto-chip into area mine" (2021-2023)
Mining was made much worse for TWO YEARS! Only benefit: can acquire boulders for Credo quests involving chipping (optionally, count cosmetic purposes now available.) Also these benefits are in the current iteration, you just have to manually stop your area-mining character if a desired boulder appears.

Re: Game Development: Loose Velvet

I forgot to test it when I spawned some slimes

Ok but can I still see the bar that indicates their fullness? That was useful and without it I realized I don't even know how full a trough can be.jorb wrote: [*] "Food Trough"s are now effectively implemented as a specific type of barrel, meaning they will present the same GUI as barrels, complete with, most importantly, an "Empty" button.
