The size doesn't matter, except that it has to be at least 5 tiles tall. In addition, rooms can't share a wall with another room (you can make double thick walls to get around this, or a tower).

Background walls or just regular walls?
Regular walls.

I demand that you make a perfectly spherical sky-temple in that hole! With lots of glass and silver blocks!

Thanks for the inspiration- designing one of those now.  :P

Unfortunately, circumstances didn't permit me to get the game yesterday, so hopefully I have better luck in that regard today.

ED: Just realized that the hole is only 34x34; far too small for a 75x75 temple.  :P

Are all flying islands so tiny? Could make it hard to make a flying doom fortress, though I suppose you could expand them.

Flooded Hell... getting Obsidian was never this easy (even when I made an infinite flow, but that took a while to fill up)

In desperate need of a save feature. I spent at least 6 hours last night of some solid progressing when the game crashed. When I reloaded my game, my character didn't lose his inventory but all the exploring and building AND everything in my new chests were all gone!! I know you can save and exit but it would be great to save and keep playing. I was so mad that I just started a new world. Not fun to lose more than 6 hours of digging and loot. Why doesn't this exist already? Seems like a pretty standard feature to have.

Oh yes, autosave would save (heh) my ass more than once.

Also - inventory saves everytime you hit ESC, world (and thus house, and item in chests) only after you click Save & Exit.

thats odd.. i think the world saves at least ingame daily.. so short of it crashing during a save or something corrupting the save, you shouldn't lose -that- much. Maybe thats only multiplayer servers though, dont know about single player world save oftenness.

Edit: from what your saying, that doesnt apply to singleplayer.

That sounds hugely exploitable.

It is absurdly easy to duplicate items in this game. We've known this since the leak. :P
You can load a charecter with 90 meteor bars, and duplicate his file, and load chests up with meteor bars.

I like the idea of starting with nothing for PVP. With some tweaks Terrania could be like 2d Leauge

Ugh. I don't like steam; takes 10-15 minutes for me to log in. Shouldn't log ins take seconds? All the while its using about 90kb/s of internet, on my limited bandwidth, 15 minutes of that for nothing is unacceptable. Second, Steam forgets my login details every few hours, so I can't play offline. I know there's a way to fix that, but I dont see why it should happen in the first place.

Now my town has been evicted. Cant find any of it's residents anywhere :(

I really, really can't wait for dedicated servers. Imagine 40 people PvPing on a (hopefully massive if they implement it) world. I'd be fine with them removing the dungeon etc if they could implement additional map spawning every time someone leaves the map. Or maybe allow people to spawn maps back to back.

Really, teams should consist of 4 (or more) players each playing a dedicated role. One's a fighter, one's a crafter, one's a harvester and one's a god I don't even know. Utility? Demolitions?

But... but... the large world is already so... GODDAMNED HUUUUGE. I used that map viewer thing, and I got my mind blow away at the sheer insignificance of everything I did on the world. Even with 40 players, if they dont all just stick on the surface of course, there is more than enough space for them to never even find each other in the dark cave networks. I don't really see the need for a massive world...


On another note, you know what annoys me? I've had 2 meteor-landing-alerts on my current world, but never could find one even after I checked the whole surface. Using the map utility, it turns out that both appear to have hit flying islands. GAH.
