Not entirely sure if a year-old Calbiri!planned still applies.

Sounds like more effort and worse performance (unless abstraction is used) for basically the same effect. I mean, unless factories got actual visuals or something, but things having actual visuals and looking awesome seems to be Space Engineers and Interstellar Rift's territory, not "performance...

After combat, without returning to base (Not saying it's a good idea.)

I fail to see how Minecraft food is crappy, forced, or even unneeded, though I do find that the implementation could've used a bit of refinement (i.e. buffs; you definitely should not have to shove a massive beefsteak down your throat so often). Without the hunger system, though, there would be...

I think the metal grilles are fairly squish-safe. Dunno about the rest.

This sentence confuses me. If you literally mean either-or (as in some possible solutions would make the game run slower, and others would not but instead add a ridiculous amount of IDs) then why would there be "more IDs than you care to add right now"? Isn't an infinite number technically...

It was. I mean previously to that. I'm also aware that NPC revamps are coming, the particle system will eventually be integrated, etc. I was just saying.

But "incomplete" doesn't have to mean "crappy and useless/broken." The fleet system is incomplete. The galaxy revamp is incomplete. The logic system will probably recieve more expansions as we go on. Shipyards are still incomplete (but functional now) seeing as they will eventually auto-craft...

No idea why the devs are against requiring things like food. It works well in Minecraft and it can work here. Fall damage, however, I don't know if I support, seeing as our suits seem to have in-built jet boots or antigrav modules of reasonable power.

They need to be merged somehow.

Off-topic here, but didn't most of the forum suggestions ask for a warp/hyperspace drive á la Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, etc.? Whatever made you guys decide to put that off for eventual implementation as a capital ship system rather than as the standard form of FTL in the game?

It floated off as its own topic...

It means that - theoretically anyway - it has to be fixed before the next release. Although the shipyard bug where docked entities would pop off wasn't fixed for like four releases (just got a fix last release) with that priority tag...

If someone's thoroughly bored with the game, it's probably because they tried that and realized that the game doesn't offer enough to create a satisfying experience.

This is actually a brilliant idea. Ideally this would result in transit times being reduced because with more space between systems less time would be spent flying through system space. Of course, I happen to be a fan of replacing the jump drives with warp drives, but meh.

I thought we had reflection-mapping now? Couldn't you just bring most of it up to maximum reflectivity?

Yeah, I dunno why it still spins like that...

Nah; if it were an in-house API it might extend the development cycles a bit but it wouldn't cause too much trouble, I don't think. Aside from when big bugs arise :P

Forge has to be updated every update before it can work because every update re-scrambles all the names and parts of all the code (never mind the fact that it has to be compatible with actual functionality changes). It only works for Minecraft because there is a long time between updates. That...
