    Edited Title/Topic:

    Sometimes when using a furnace or Metalwork Station in the Ship and/or trying to place something, it can sometimes trigger a bug where all windows disappear along with the cursor. Keys other than W, A, S, D will not function, though sometimes even W, A, S and D keys will cease to function. Escape key also fails to work. The only way to exit the bug and the game is to press Alt+F4 or click the top right X if in Window mode.


    Other things:

    L'm not seeing the point between 1 handed and 2 handed weaponry. For example, I compared the The Skewer and The Skewer XL (1 handed vs 2 handed varient). The only difference I notice between them is the attack speed and the 2 hander being slightly longer. Shouldn't the XL hit harder?

    Spears are my favourite weapon, but not being able to attack anything unless it is directly left or right is kind of annoying - I suppose you could say that it is a balance thing, but wouldn't the slower speed be a balance? Compare this to swords and hammers which have a wide top-to-bottom arc (roughly 160°-170°) and you can see the huge difference between the two weapons and their attacking angles. Secondary attacks individual to each weapon style/type would greatly appreciated.

    Few other things: Of course names need spaces in them, perhaps capitlisation and perhaps less jokes about penises in the weapon names. Would also be nice if the [F] key could be used as Flashlight button (with the Flashlight item actually removed to save hot-bar space).

    Finally - Remembering Window position in game. If I move the Window to left left (i.e. Inventory) and press escape, then bring the inventory up again, it will be in the same place I set it... which is good. However if I restart the game, or even just exit to the main menu and return, window position is reset... not good. It isn't bad, but it gets a bit tedious havning to place windows in locations that don't otherwise entirely block your character or its view.

    I understand that some things - like secondary attack moves on weapons - are being considered/worked on and that other ideas may come later. I also understand that grammar issues, etc are not a priority yet but obviously I'm just highlighting them anyway - like shields lacking a description, which is well known :p.

    Loving the game.

    (Bald hair (no hair) style is needed for Humans and Avians :p)



    Edit: Scroll bar doesn't work on some inventory-style menus in game.

    Edit: Also, wouldn't it make more sense to make torches from wood and plant fibre or wood and 'fabric' as opposed to coal? :wut:

    Also, please stop single block pools of Lava / Poison effecting the player. It is tiny, a single block should be stepped over (2 is a different story).

    The extra molten cores also applies to Circuits from the 2nd boss. I think this was done on purpose to give the player some spare cores, just incase. A single core is a bit meager, imagine you want to make another Metalwork station, because of reasons. You'd have to go through the motions of making a Beacon and beating them boss every time.

    This is true. I think 3 would be better than 5 though.

    Another bug which has been in previous versions which is kind of annoying: Using the Furnace or Workstation in the Spaceship sometimes removes the cursor and key functions from the game. None of the keys work and the only way to exit the game is by pressing Alt+F4 or clicking the top right X.

    I'd say, combine wood, plant fibre/fabric AND coal. Coal to light the torch, if you will.

    Coal is a slow burning fuel that needs a lot of heat to get going. It'd make more sense if it was wood and fibre or fabric. At the moment there seems to be a need to use coal for absolutely everything.

    "(...) Sometimes when it rains, Camp Fires and Furnaces will detach or dig themselves up from the ground, (...)"

    Water now collects and pools when it rains. Your fires/furnaces are popping off the ground because they got wet from the water traveling across the surface.

    As far as the multiple items that you get from bosses. I believe this was intentional for the developers. If you're playing with a party, it's handy that everyone gets their share of the loot dropped instead of having to summon extra bosses for that matter. All of the bosses, not just the Penguin and Robot, drop 5 of their items. Cheers to the developers for adding this idea!

    This occured on flat surfaces with no dip in it. so no pool of water was created.

    Edited the title and post.

    It doesn't take a pool of water to pop the campfire/furnace. Even on a flat surface with lower elevations for water to run to, you can see drops of water travel across the surface seeking those lower places to pool. These moving drops of water are what is popping the fire/furnaces.

    Yes but with this logic, any tool caught out in the rain, whether it is in between two small hills or giant mountains, will ultimately pop the item off of the group, even if the gap between said hills/mountains is quite large.

    I think it should only pop the item off of the ground if a pool forms next to the item, not if a mere trickle of water passes by it (although a camp fire would be more understandable, but things like crafting tables, anvils, furnaces, etc coming up are rather silly).

    Is it actually popping items other than just the campfire/furnace off the ground?

    I can place a worktable/cabinet/yarnspinner under water, I would think any object that can be placed underwater should not get popped off the ground.
