    it's an underground mini biome, though a lot of the ones I've seen people post on the coordinates megathread aren't mini at all.

    You can find them underground, it's a minibiome.

    there is already a mod to build teleporters, perhaps what they could do is work with the modder to work it into the game.
    as for the vanity items, i would agree with that.vanity items should be a lower priority.

    Just to put the thought out there. How about releasing the actual game instead of new weather types? Or a beta of the pvp structure? Not to be hasty im just curious when this game looks to come out because I've lost complete interest of the vanilla version.

    Ill agree also. More true game beta (pvp and three system sections as they stated). More new game features. Change it up! it takes me literally from photoshop to script..about 5 minutes to make a new 3 frame workable chest for this game. I know molly does the art but i want to hear from the programmers!!!! :)

    That's because adding stuff like vanity items is easier to do, Its also not done by the programmers so you dont have to worry about stuff like that getting in the way of actual game mechanics being added.
    My guess is that the art people are just enthusiastic and they are making vanity items and such whilst waiting on the programmers to finish new stuff.
    (coding really takes a lot more time than making 2d sprites)

    agreed. but rather than saying, something like 'Hey, we found some bugs {list} and squashed them, here's some vanity stuff for you to enjoy while we continue working on the engine directly.' it's sounding more like, ' we made these great vanity items you've just got to see,! oh, and we happened to squash some bugs while we were at it.' both say essentially the same thing, to wit, the coding is taking longer then we expected and the art department is working a lot faster than the coders. but they come across completely differently.

    Don't feel bad Art department, MMOs get the same complaints all the time,. they will promise the next BIG thing, before they are ready and then have to push vanity items for nomths before the promised new content is ready.

    This x1000. If there's going to be two Heck updates while not fixing the freezing bug I'll be sad. Perhaps it's been overlooked (the most popular threads on it had no employee replies and are not too large), so if it's still there we should make a collective effort to make a thread that eventually gets the bug noted.

    Whats up with tech slot? working as intended for me, You do know that you can bring 4 tech with you (4 tech slots .... ) but you can only use 1 tech at a time (selected tech) whats wrong about tech seriously?? or your complaining for something you dont even understand or havn't bothered finding an answer for yourself and you assumed it was bugged ???

    if there's a tutorial on how to do it, then nothing needs to be done.
    whenever they finalize the universe layout is what I've heard.
    there ain't no bug for me.

    That image really makes me think of pollen.

    Unfortunately, I don't see complex ecosystems using things like pollination on planets becoming a thing, seeing that creatures tend to kind of evaporate after you stop looking at them. :/

    You COULD try making everything persistent... but that would be an absolute bitch, loading and saving wise.

    Well, for those complaining about the speed of updates, I think it's important to remember that those making these items are not the ones coding the engine. So there's no need for complaint about these items taking away from the speed of the updates to the core game. I'd rather have these updates than nothing at all. And it isn't really a minor update anyways.

    So will there be a beta of the new progression system? Or just straight to release? I saw the old post (in October i believe) about how the game was going to develop but that clearly changed. :p

    I'm okay with it, I'm sure coding can be difficult, especially bugfixing, but I dunno, never tried it before. (But I'd love to)
