And there will still be another fifty threads because of wood.

I was gonna post it, but I was hoping the other thread with these notes would have gotten noticed first. Oh well.

 

Didn't see any posts about the notes on the first page - only reason I copied it up here =)

 

So now I can use my favorite guns effectively?

Time to find another Avian gun ship.

 

Glad to see this. I was about to start raging on the forums. This literally addresses every issue I'm having. Wearing the best armor for my tier, and still getting one shot by projectiles, the insane rarity of coal (and the massive demand for it) Ive all but given up using torches. Shields not protecting for squat... I hope this comes out soon.

 

So essentially, wood dropped from 1 fuel per one, to 0.2 fuel per one... Massive nerf if you ask me, way to big. :/

 

Better a nerf to wood fuel than no wood fuel at all. I think its a great solution. Keeps the other fuels a valuable commodity - while allowing those who cant find enough of them yet to still get around.

Its way too easy to get 1000 wood - keeping it at 1 wood per 1 fuel would nearly invalidate the other fuel types.

 

At least wood has a use again. Though they could probably decrease the amount of wood necessary to create one charcoal.

 

Yeah, you're right, they should just keep it so wood cannot be turned into fuel, at all. Good idea, Shiokuri!

 

Heh well what do you know, I posted complaining about 2 of those not an hour ago. Thanks for bringing this to wider attention

 

I know the whole wood thing is important but the note that has my attention is BACKPACK LANTERNS!!

 

Be thankful for what you get >_>

 

Beats mining the precious mineral though. I'm glad I can convert wood to coal, considering coal is needed for tons of things and being able to convert 1000-3000 wood per planet to coal is a godsend.

I also like the concept of the backpack lantern. Sounds like something you equip in your cape slot to have a mobile light source that's attached to you. I hope that's true.

 

What will the backpack lanterns do?

 

From the sound of it, add a passive "glowing" effect to your character.

 

Nice!

 

I would imagine, emit light like a torch, but it moves with you

 

if i unterstood it correctly, it is an integration of this mod:

Next patch already sounds like the patch of my dreams! Maybe I'll actually bother to explore underground when I don't have to constantly swap to a light source every 20 blocks.
