I think it's on everyone's. This is Bay 12 after all.

Aye, but I'd be the freakish deviant who didn't fill it with lava "Freefall tower, for all your excessive suicide needs."

Fluid mechanics are definitely another of those current question marks, hum. Water can apparently be artificially increased to some degree (we see it quite a few times in the LPs, usually when someone digs a hole on the bottom of a pond/puddle/etc.), but I don't think there's any clear indication currently of to what extent that's possible or if there's any self-perpetuation conditions. Water/block producing items would be great, but probably horrifically, hum, unbalanced. You know people would sit on one of the floating islands and just hold the button down until the water/lava level reached them

Flooding the underworld seems entirely too easy, though. There's a massive ocean on one side of the screen, huhuhu...

Still. Would be interesting if there's a way to harvest water or lava, above and beyond those bucket things. I could see groups of
folks de-liquiding a world and then going to some other world and making it rain

How do you build things underground? Do you have to start digging the background from the surface, to the place you want to build in, cause I dont think you can just straight up make a hole in the wall underground.

[Frumple]

It actually seems you can do just that with dirt, as we've seen a couple of places built in the underground in the videos. We don't know if you can just take a hammer to the wall of the lower layers, because no one in the videos has actually bothered trying. At all. TESTING! *shakes fist*

Definitely can work your way from the top, at least with the top dirt layer layer -- we saw some of that when blue came into P's world, iirc, and possibly in one of dominic's LPs. It wouldn't be difficult at all to just drag, so to speak, a little 1 block line from the surface to wherever you wanted to build, then work off that, though.

EDIT: If anyone's got an SA account, you can try asking dominic to show underground building off. He's apparently taking requests for th'next LP over in their terraria thread.

[Max White]

I would prefer if in the Lp, the guy tried new stuff, like seeing what works on what, and how, and such. For example, he was unwilling to eat the glowing mushrooms, because they might have ill effects, but he should have been gulping them down because they might have ill effects. He should be looking for game features, not dicking around.

I don't know why they chose him.

[Duke 2.0]

 He was probably a buddy they could trust to not leak the game for whatever private reasons.

 I like to imagine that under the dirt layer digging out the background wouldn't have any effect. We saw the dynamite used to dig out dirt and it would clear holes in the background. When he used it in a pit it didn't dig out the background rock.

I seem to remember that same dirt background touching sky background within the explosion radius. You probably have to tear down dirt background from the sky interface. There's also the dungeon background that has to be torn down from the sides, ie touching sky background.

Of course we could always test it our selves when the game comes out and we are all working together. Be faster that way too...
Because of course. Who does better !!SCIENCE!! then the Bay12 Community... ^_^

Ya got t'admit though, it's pretty boss of Pbat to make so much progress with no armor apart from his copper boots, whereas blue keeps dying like every five minutes.

You clearly haven't watched enough PBat LPs.

He only started making real progress when he got Meterorite Armor. Up until then, he was dying left and right.

As for Blue....I wonder if he just stops looking at the screen while he talks.

[Darvi]

Eh, I'm only at 9.

Although, I can imagine him shouting "nerf water!!!" right now.

[nenjin]

Yeah. Wait until you hit 14, 15, 16, ect.... There are a few episodes that are literally nothing but PBat running out to the corruption, jumping over a chasm and fucking it up and dying, complete with a bitch-slap inducing "NOooooooooooohohohohohohohohooooooo."

Yes, that is a real link to the official website.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Oh yeah, someone posted that on the fan forums on (I think) Sunday.

haa.... that's actually pretty funny.

[KrunkSplein]

he just altogether dropped what he was doing, and started kind of.. walking/jumping in circles idly. I do the same thing when I'm trying to talk to someone while playing a game. It's distracting!

I do the same thing when I'm playing a game, especially online games where I can't just pause it.  Furthermore, when I'm on the phone while standing, I invariably wind up walking in a circuit around the room.
