I really reallylike 99% of the update (although I've lost a window of opportunity as I was just planning to use one of my alts to squeeze out another winner title still I fully understand the 3 months limit).

One thing that is I'm terrified about is:

I'm heavily utilizing the bulk storage on the NEXT above level. Having a limit of how high they can be accessed is totally understood - I hope the storage will still be reachable on the adjacent level. Needing to put all bulks on the same level will mean a lot of clutter even in larger workshop plans - or a lot of inconvenient walks with all open windows closing etc etc...

 

EDIT: BSB racks with only 4 BSBs inside take quite the same space if not more than 4 BSBs dropped on the ground...

Thank you for the again unexpected amount of updates! Many issues seem to be solved too...

 

I don't know if that is possible at all but can large tile stretches of the same type have a few different textures on the tiles?  I think my issue with the large rockfaces now that with normal mapping they are so obviously having the same pattern is repeating on each tile thus making it a bit unnatural and plastic like.

Cobblestone and most surfaces look amazing - maybe expect sand could look better with smaller particle size..

3 months seems long, and it seems like all accounts now have this brick goal. Really seems like you guys are taking advantage of players now asking for more money.

24 EUR against the 100+ income from a tome? I don't think it is too steep...

For a legitimate player 3 months is an incredibly short time to achieve goals.

 

For an alt rolled specifically for easy to finish goals with little to no effort, it's a hurdle. 

 

The system is supposed to be there for existing players to gain the rewards before the system is removed, not for players to generate countless alts to win tomes, so we feel this step at least discourages the worst abuses of the system while still being not an issue for other players.

It wouldn't if you could buy the 3 months in advance and have it count. I'd probably do it but it again goes back my statement asking for money.

I feel like 3 months starting today would be the end date or even sooner. So you make us prem a brand new account and then cease it next month without warning?

Only seems long if you spam alts 24/7. "Really seems like you guys are taking advantage of players now asking for more money." Compared to the money you get for a tome it's nothing.

No one is going to throw money at something without a clear end date. 1 month seems more appropriate.

Sounds like that's their plan.

This also means it is much easier to dig back all the edges of a raised clay area - thank you!

That's going to be great. I can finally level out the clay pit near my deed making it easier to use it.

We really had our eyes on this change, and we're curious how players will receive it. This may be something we need to tweak a bit more to get correct, but as it stands it works in a vertical cylinder fashion instead of spherical to try and give as much leniency to the old system as we could. This means that if you can reach a BSB from 1 tile away, you'll also be able to reach a BSB directly above it, without having that distance shortened by the vertical offset. This functions identically to how it used to, where moving too far away on the ground would still limit you.

 

What this does change is having storage 2 floors above or below you. In these cases, you will have to adjust your storage solution to the new change. Having storage one floor up and down will continue to function as it has before this patch. That being said, we're eager to see what players think of this. If you feel it was a misstep, make a thread and list reasons why. I don't think the team wants to force changes that are bad for the game on the players.

We've also got our eyes on this change, too. If it's causing trouble in certain situations, be sure to let us know. These type of mechanics changes can be controversial and if you feel there's certain situations where this shouldn't apply, post some feedback and let us know.

I kept trying to put stuff on top of my rare large crate even though it's not on the list.  Can we put things on top of crates later in another patch?  Be cool to put a plate and candle on top of a crate in a lonely corner.

 

Other than that good update with lots of fixes.

 

Congrats Sindusk to joining the Dev team.  :)

This change will be annoying, quite often on construction projects I incorporate many ladders, materials sit below in the wagon and you just draw from that for building or simply transfer everything to a top floor bsb (rather than using a rope to haul something up 12 floors one floor at a time) , not the end of the world, but when you are using wooden openings as scaffolding, it was nice to take advantage of that feature.
