• New: Ability to switch dirt to sand and sand to dirt without having to drop the sand/dirt to turn one tile.

A better fix would have been to revert the knee-jerk GM change that created this problem to begin with.  Imagine if you could just dig them up there again, terraforming in a game based on terraforming, hmm what a novel idea.   All because some players were too lazy to catapult a 1 by 1 building and chose to complain to a sympathetic GM.

Nah

[TeeeBOMB 668]

Thanks the updates and fixes, and your continued efforts to improve Wurm. ? I will be looking forward to clearing some 'unknowns' from my ignore list for sure.

 

I don't actually understand why anchors can now be made from all metals. Sort of making lead less useful right? But maybe is for the best. idk. I will sort of miss the newbie search for local lead for an anchor for their new 10.0001 rowboat.

Any updates on addressing some of the bugs with Valeri?

[Niki 2,278]

Thanks. i'll consider this a birthday gift

Bugfix: Enchanted turrets will no longer decay on deed on pve servers.

Just a side note on the artifact change: This will not affect artifacts currently in the world, only when they go into the ground the next time around. So if you find an artifact on the HoTA zone that went into ground before this change, you will need to put in a ticket, if you confirm it is indeed there, as you will be unable to dig it up in that zone.

I like this, but it also hurts because I had a rare iron spear tip that was lost due to the bug. I don't suppose there's anyway to prove that?

New: Ability to switch dirt to sand and sand to dirt without having to drop the sand/dirt to turn one tile.
 

Minor note on this. it's a very very minor function.

• It can only turn tiles between dirt (not grass, not packed) and sand.
• It consumes a whole unit (20kg) per tile.
• It does not give any skill whatsoever.
• It's classed under the terraform permission on deeds.

It's basically a cosmetic thing. You find it by having a dirt/sand active and right clicking the offending tile. Look for "switch tile".

Another great QoL improvement. Thanks for listening!

GMs can't change the game like that, only devs can...   Though I agree being unable to dig on hota is weird to disallow after it already being terraformed while allowing to drop dirt/sand

nice

 

any thoughts to making it easier to pick trellis? last night picked my grape ones and its so hard to select the proper ones for picking when there can be up to 4 on a tile border (2 per side) as sometimes a mouse over shows the one behind

Thanks a lot, especially for the above ones - for the first two one it was a real fast response as well!

 

I'm also unsure about the anchors, some of the items would be preferred kept their special metal types (like don't allow tin dity statuettes please )

While we are thinking about trellis, any chance of getting the pick_sprout keybind to pick sprouts from a trellis?

The anchor change was more of a bugfix from the metals update - they should've been available as all metals back when that was added, as there are specific modifiers on the effectiveness of each metal type as an anchor: https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Metal_lumps#Special
