When I first embarked I thought that plump helmets were some sort of protective headgear for the miners. Why do I need 15 of those with only two miners, I thought. Subsequently my first expedition died of hunger without eve striking the earth .

[Neyvn]

I have always envisioned Plump Helmets to be similar to the shape of Button Mushrooms, they are short (Around 4 Inches) and have a large 'helmet' looking head which curls inward to form a lip halfway down its thick stem. They are coloured the same as any normal mushroom, white, but with a tinge of cream and yellow...

[CobaltKobold]

Definitely purple.

Oh snap, that eternally turquoise item under Map Features finally got greened out.

[SirHoneyBadger]

Better than red.

[Mipe]

There is still the rope thing, not to mention whole Final section, which no doubt will take quite a bit of time.

I wouldn't be holding the breath, if I was you.

[Orkel]

Two to three weeks is my guess, who knows

Glad to see another line greened out.

Here's a question I don't think has been asked, I did do a search for it so sorry if I missed it:

Spoiler tag for spoilers.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seeing as there is practically guaranteed magma in the underground, does that mean that there is practically guaranteed naturally occurring obsidian?

Aside from the much higher chance of dwarf manufactured obsidian of course.

Because searching for a good obsidian site for my mega constructions can kill off my half assed attempts to play more often than not. It also might mean a significantly better chance of getting both marble and obsidian, for plan "Dwarven chess featuring goblin prisoners".

Edit: Changed text outside spoiler to green so that it isn't missed.

Finally after over a month, the underground map features are greened out!

We are now down to the final stretch...rope ladders!

I wouldn't be surprised if he drops the rope ladders though after hearing what everyone has said, but if he does carry through with it, it sounds like this feature will take some time to put together since everyone mentioned about the reconfiguration of the pathfinder and so forth.

But from the looks of it the Underground could be greened out entirely as early as the 24th or 25th if he reds out rope ladders (which I wouldn't mind). Which would fit within my perdicted week  I made about this a while ago

Otherwise if he really decides to do this, we may have to brace for another 2-3 weeks  to a month depending on the complication of this matter.....

Only afterward will I begin the Finalization perdiction....

[Rip0k]

Does anyone remember how long did the "finalization" took for the previous major release?

[SirHoneyBadger]

Bets?

[btbtbtbt]

I wouldn't be surprised if he drops the rope ladders

Isn't that the idea?

Anybody else get an uncontrollable rage when they see he hasn't posted every day? I come on every day to view the DevBlog, and I get this odd feeling of puzzlement and murderous jealousy mixed into two when I see nothing new.

Oh cool I should write a poem.

My name is Az, I come to Bay12,
To share a tale, a story of hell,
Magma men, H F S, they're easy to kill,
But a day of no Blogging, makes me cry still.

Uncontrollable rages, murderous rampages,
Giant Bats in Cages, yet years-to-go mages,
All of these I've looked forward to for so long, feels ages,
My visions going hazy, catching the crazies.

So Ye Great Toady One, if you're even human,
Stop playing with my soul, and release the damn version!


I'm quite proud of that. xD
