If you get it now, you'll ruin all the awesomeness of playing the game for the first time on Monday.
I agree, I actually would love not to see Let's Plays too. So many stuff was spoiled for me.

They'll probably add anti-hack measures, that's sure to break compatibility. Worlds are probably going to be playable, they just won't have any of the new things in them.

And as far as spoiling yourself is concerned, a lot of stuff is available through the guide, including the recipes for the first two bosses (I think), so you don't lose much by playing the leak. More than that, you gain useful experience. For example, I learned to use the normal grappling hook to ascend up corruption chasms almost as fast as if I were flying. You'll also know in advance what to look out for. It's all good.

I think I may have accelerated the onset of carpel tunnel in my mouse hand with this game by about 15 years. Dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig......I may have to get auto clicker reinstalled for this game.
You know you can hold it down, right?

Yes, I do. And after probably 4 hours straight of holding the mouse button down over the last two days....mah hand hurts.

Unfortunately, the game doesn't seem to see Autoclicker at all.

If it hurts that bad, get a gaming mouse or something.

I'm considering adding a bomb shelter to my loghouse. Made out of ebonstone - because it's bomb-proof. ;D

The reason is mostly me finding out through experiment that platforms won't support thrown bombs. Specifically, I tried quickly dismantling my SkyLane with bombs. Had to rebuild my roof.

Extreme logging - use bombs to take down trees. Who needs axes?! Overkill points awarded for using dynamite.

A real dorf mines the ground beneath the trees. Then gravity does the rest.

Guess what isn't bomb-proof. You're thinking of dungeon blocks.

Doesn't ebonstone resist normal bombs, but not dynamite?

If not, then I wasted a lot of effort/money early on using dynamite to get to those orbs..

You can get through ebonstone with dynamite, demonite/meteorite pickaxe or purification powder (which turns it into normal stone).

No, it's quite literally bomb-proof. Dynamite destroys it, bombs don't.
