You could still remoev factory blocks form the shop and cubatom (literally the only places you can get them). You don\'t have to remove the item from the game data/index, just make it unavailable to players. Or remove the functionality of the item and leave it as a cosmetic block.
Yup thats totally true, and i honestly cant say why that hasnt been done. All i can do is speculate and provide limited insight.
Players cracked open and started modding minecraft LONG before the API was opened, and Mojang start implimenting mod feature into the base game LONG before the API was opened. Players have been shaping the development of minecraft since mid-alpha.
Nothing is stopping you from cracking open Starmade. Notch didnt start out wanting to make mods apart of the main code-base, it just happened because it worked well. I can totally forsee if there are wicked mods and good ideas implemented into mods, they will be integrated into this main code base. But just because it worked well for notch doesnt mean every indie dev who makes a voxel java game has to do it.
But he\'s not fixing anything, gameplay-wise
Do you look at the bug-squash list on every update post? Theres like 10 bugs crushed every time.
He\'s introducing \'features\' that don\'t require play testers at all until he actually does start fixing things.
How do you think he learns it needs fixing? By people just casually playing with the features. What you\'re doing right now, reporting about this over powered, broken crafting system is setting it on the course for being fixed.
Would it be such a ballache to change the shop buy prices to a fracion of their sell prices? I can\'t imagine it would take longer to do that than to introduce redundant crafting features.
Thats not for me to say, and if you really want, send him a PM and ask him personally.
It becomes a right when you pay for it. And I see you have payed for it.
No it does not become a right. You didnt agree to anything, nor sign anything. The game was playable before you paid for it. You had all the ability in the world to see what you were buying, you determined it was worth your 3$. You have a preconceived notion that you\'re owed something. I agree with you, you do deserve to have the game you paid for to run better. But again, ALPHA. You must be patient and have faith that by the time this game is released it will be stable and near flawless. Bugs are being crushed in due time, and Schema is adding and fixing things that he determines their time has come, not when you determine it.
You go on the \'Buy\' page up there and tell me where it says pre-order.
It also doesnt say, \"100% full release, By the way, it works perfectly\". It says, full-version, which you are getting. It also says right on the front page that this game is in development. It\'s common knowledge this is a preorder, you could ask anyone in any chat room and they\'d tell you.
To do you the same courtesy I went on the steam page for Rome II; it deffinately says pre-order. It may be an alpha, but what you pay for is the game as it is now and throughout development and release and when you pay for that, being able to play it is absolutely a right and not a priveledge.
My mistake! I wasnt aware ROME II was actually allowing people to play it currently. But as you even said, \"but what you pay for is the game as it is now and throughout development and release\", you\'re playing it as it is, if it\'s buggy and theres a few bugs that are persisting, then so be it. Also I doubt if you didnt like the way something was, they\'d change it to better suite you. That games every feature has been planned for likely, years. Where as starmade is open to suggestions, and many suggestions are used. If you were having issues with Rome that caused a crash that made the game completely unplayable, it would be fixed, just like with starmade. But if theres a bug every now and then thats a minor inconvience it would likely not be addressed for a long time, and it would be addressed by likely a professional game polisher, apart of a team of 20++ developers. Starmade doesnt have a polisher, it has 1 programmer, and hes working his bum off adding and fixing, so give him some time. The next few updates will be damn near entirely bug fixes, with very likely a cubatom balance.
