Sure.

It is truly, truly outrageous. But I dunno. You really can't do anything practical with gemstones. It might be nice to be able to place them in the world as a microblock, I guess, but I don't know how to bring the gem's quality into. I suppose the varying levels of quality would just impart a larger number of sparkle particles with better quality, but I don't know if that'd be worthwhile.

I kinda like the "punching water" idea. It seems more believable than Steve's magic fish-skin that absorbs water when he stands in it. The fish-skin we have now was probably easier to implement than registering water punches, though.

Precisely how common do you propose these patron spirits are? Also, why do you think the player shouldn't know what the Patron Spirits want or hate? I'm certainly not going to burn a hundred different items just to see if Gurzelbloe will give me a 10% increase run speed while in his biome, or just to realize that he doesn't even exist. And all I'm going to be is frustrated if I'm doing a hundred different things and can't figure out which one is pissing off Yarbenk enough to spawn and aggro ten bears every time I leave my house. Perhaps there was an item or procedure that allows you to momentarily commune with a spirit? Something that might even use gemstones? It doesn't even necessarily have to give you all the information about a spirit at once, just a facet of the Spirit's personality or offerings. ... Unless the Spirits' whims only pertain to things in relation to their region, of course. If the Spirits only "ask" me to build them a ziggurat made from the top layer's stone, or to leave the native trees alone (but don't care if I transplant and farm some exotic trees), then I'd be just fine. I'd be upset if they decided that I couldn't mine out the gold deposit underneath my house, but would cope if all they did was make me a bit hungrier than normal. Just maaaaaaaybe rein in the variety of structures that could please a Spirit. A trinity of Ziggurat, Obelisk and Altar for possible structures should suffice.

That's great that you proved him wrong, I guess. I don't really think I'd like this better, though. But, yeah. Maybe tone down the self-righteousness and your overall attitude. I've never met you, and I seriously want to kick your ass call your mother and tell her what a bad boy you're being.

Psst! Warfighter! I think that was a joke.

I kinda like oceans the size they are now. Sure, it's really annoying when you realize that you didn't place your bed right and you spawn back at the world's spawnpoint, 15k away from your base next to a huge gold/sphalarite mine... But it's nice to get that feeling of true isolation on a server. Except when you want to trade some of that gold. Then it isn't nice. It's a love-hate thing, I guess.

That's more or less what I acknowledged. "The believability flies right back out the window," etc., etc. The second sentence was simply a bit of thinking out loud.

What can I say? It's a niiiiiiice blade. Don't you think it's a niiiiiiice blade?

It's an interesting idea, I suppose. I'm pretty sure, though, that for game balance, you'd need to build a chest. While it's more realistic believable to be able to just put your crap on the ground, it's probably too easy. The piles would have to have only a single item slot, I'd think. The believability flies right back out the window, however, when each and every single pile looks the same, regardless of what's actually in it. I doubt that the devs could possibly want to bother making a model for every conceivable pile of stuff possible; this probably isn't going to happen. Dunk seemed to like piles of ingots, though, so you might see those. Maybe.

No way, Jose! I'm going to pretend its a race-car, and drive it around. Oh god, why did I bump this

Niiiiiiice.

I've got a dirty sanchez and some chin pubes. In all of eight years, this is all I can grow. I suppose I'd just rather not grow facial hair; shaving, what little I've done, is a pain in the ass.

Unfortunately, I doubt you'll get much sympathy from these forums. They've got a "Construction" update coming up sometime; we'll probably see a couple of these things there, but I doubt they'd be for the purpose of making it easier not to use them.

Well, clearly there was an airplane crash. You were the only survivor and the plane disintegrated on impact, leaving only you and a bag of stuff standing out in an infinite wilderness. Why you're not trying to find a way back to civilization, however, is on you.
