Usually I have to instigate things to get this sort of reaction.

Goodness you guys should just marry Toady already.

Goodness maybe you should just be quiet.

I actually found that comment to be a bit entertaining, but it is true.

The Toady Harem would likely slow down development. Therefore we must remain chaste.

We've got some more screenshots to look at.

A crafting system.
Am I the only one who thinks this sort of thing should wait until after 1.0?

The crafting system has actually been in there since the beginning; this is just the first look we've had at it.

Better to wait for a complete game than to graft unfitting features to an incomplete one.

Oooooh damn. An encyclopedia? I like the way this is going.

Still hype.

Clearly crafting the "Stick of sex" can't wait until v1

[ZeroGravitas]

Now it is a competition about whether this or Stellaris gets (something playable) out first.

Not much of a competition. Stellaris, no question.

It's not though.  Creating items has always been in the game and it's always fit.  HOw can you be Sauron without your one ring?

That was exactly the example I thought of.

Right, which is why he should work on the crafting system now rather than waiting until post-release.

But it should wait past-alpha.

But it should wait past-alpha.

But... isn't it already in?  Or am I missing something?  (Havn't really been paying much attention.)

Alpha/beta is a bit arbitrary, but I think the point is that the "beta backers" have nothing to play yet, so the game is not "in beta."

[Cthulhu]

Originally the transition from alpha to beta was when the game's planned features were implemented and you moved onto pure testing and refining.

Things have gotten hazy more recently.

Regardless, it's a feature that was always in the game, this is just the first time we've seen a screenshot.  Asking him not to put it in until after alpha doesn't really make any sense because it's already there.
