1. Yes we have had to add some specialized code for it, but it will work with them.

 

2. Yes it's based on your action the 1/10 part is based on your action limit, you can set it to queue up your maximum at each click on the create/continue button. And you can drag in stacks of items in the boxes to use while crafting so it's really nice when creating things in batches.

 

If I only need to create one item the old way of doing things can still be faster, I might still go with the creation window for when doing blacksmithing I never seem to be able to find what I'm looking for in the list.

 

Nice, sounds like it will be a usefull addition then, particularly the ability to work with floor based items as i always find them a pain to use :)

You talk about dragging in stacks of items are these going to be placed in the box? Are we still going to be stuck with having to load everything into our inventory first or is this some kind of new crafting table? 

 

While i have you here another thing i wanted to ask/request with the new container to container options being put in. Can we also get a way to set the amount of items we take out of a BSB so say i am loading a ship and i can load 12 at a time is there a way i can set the BSB so i can just drag to the raft without the popup asking me every time how many i want to take? 

 

I guess what i had envisioned when i talk about loading from a bsb to a raft is i drag the item to the raft and it just fills it up. Now i know this needs to be on timers for the actions i am doing and i understand that. But if that is not how that is going to work then can we at least do something about the bsb popup on every action?

Guy, if you are worrying about the lighting update:


 


Keep in mind that this is done by an external consultant, who is likely some kind of lighting specialist.


 


It is to expect that he will do some mayor bug fixes and optimisation with the old code as well as adding new features.


 


That means you will likely have a hjgher framerate when running with current quality settings. And there will be higher top quality setting for those who have the power.

I gotta say that you guys are doing great work.  This updates makes us feel good by letting us know what we are paying for.  And so far it is worth the money I have spent in the game.  Keep up the good work guys.

Too many comments to look through to see if this was asked or answered. 


 


But here is the most important question of them all... will we be able to walk under the bridges? Cause that is kind of necessary lol.

Bridges == Awesome +1


Love the rugs! +1


Lighting..... Meh +0


Crafting interface looks great! +1


 


However I am confused about something. I have been moving stuff straight from piles into my cart, and straight from piles into a bsb for a long time now.... How is this a soon to come feature unless you posted this a couple months behind? Or do you mean we can finally take stuff straight from a bsb and put it in the cart?!?!

Before you unleash the update plase take a look at the topic down here and do not make the same misstakes again please. codes / items name starting with uppercase "i" is not working properly on our operating systems.


Just take a few seconds and look at this topic pls for more info:

happy about bridges but didn't see an answer to these and i'd like to know




 


1. What will be the max length possible on a bridge are you thinking at this point in time?


2. Will we be able to join two separate bridges into a single bridge?


3 Will we be able to build fences on the bridge?


4. Will we be able to build a building on a bridge?


5.Will the bridge be free floating or will it have supporting structures underneath it? IE cross members


6. Will there be options for stone and wood bridges like current housing or will it have its own unique graphics?


7. Will their be width restrictions?


8. Will it be possible to build porch like structures using the bridge mechanics?

I hope you're right.. The last "performance improvements" were.. uh.. to put it nicely.. The opposite of improvements.

 

As for all the new shiny stuff.. YAY!! /dance

It would be cool if the rugs looked like the thing you killed. Like if you killed a champion bear you get a bigger bear rug. If you killed a sly bear you get a light blue(or what ever the color is) bear rug.
