Re: Game Development: Twinkle-Twinkle
Could we get an option to increase scrollwheel/zoom speed in the default client? It's really slow right now and it gets in the way pretty often for me

Re: Game Development: Twinkle-Twinkle
Always nice to see these QoL improvments.
As much as i hate to agree with shubla on anything bounding boxes would be nice for optimized item placement. Don't much care about cupboards taking up a bit less than a square but packing piles of dirt, bones, Skins and other stuff as closely as possible is a Thing I used to do everyday and it Pretty hard to Keep doing on vanilla. Also since Buildings aren't block sized either, bounding boxes are absolutly nessesary for me to plan terraforming around them and placing them edge to edge.
BUT, truth be told it is more annoying to have the engle snap on the camera when zoomed out. I think the bad cam is appropiatly named, but my plot is build in a way that these diagonal angles obstruct my view every time.
That said I really like your direction Right now and hope we can get to Object controlled Objects by the end of next year?
Keep it up!

Re: Game Development: Twinkle-Twinkle
So, just had to log onto default to remove my monocle after the update and yes, it is good to see some of these improvements, for me personally though I would like to see bounding boxes, crop stage (spent a minute and a half wondering why I couldn't make her harvest the barley before realising it was because it isn't ready yet ...
)
And I also very much miss the simple crops, the hand slots, and probably much, much more, but I'd had enough of not being able to see anything, lol, and logged back into Amber, now without being able to wear my monocle ... sucks!
I tried to use Enders but it just won't work for me, no idea why - tbh, I just want Romovs back ...

Re: Game Development: Twinkle-Twinkle
I have a hard time wrapping m had around why anyone would like to have simple crops if not just for performance (which shouldn't be a Problem with the new renderer), so pleas enlighten me.Amanda44 wrote: I also very much miss the simple crops

Re: Game Development: Twinkle-Twinkle
Yeah, Boreial has his finger on the pulse, for me, it just looks too messy, originally it was more for performance issues but now I'm used to it and it just looks neater ... purely personal aesthetics.boreial wrote:You do understand that everyone has differing views on aesthetics?Schattengaenger wrote:I have a hard time wrapping m had around why anyone would like to have simple crops if not just for performance (which shouldn't be a Problem with the new renderer), so pleas enlighten me.Amanda44 wrote: I also very much miss the simple crops

The above really is a must, plus the isometric view without snapping to edges. Option for hiding objects (trees/fences/buildings) might solve the binding boxes request.

Press enter to get the "bad" camera
If you want the default back type :cam ortho
