    Oh, the memories of fighting over that Flipper with friends.

    I wonder if you can get sucked into the "current" of water as it's stabilizing, like an object getting pulled toward a drain.

    Well they already showed that you get pushed around by moving water so that is a possibility. Would be a whole new dimension of drowning traps if it's true :)

    By the way, can this confirm natural volcanoes?

    If they add a race similar to the Gillian's, this will most definitely be my plan as well. :cool:

    Who knows, maybe there's some sort of high tech item that enables you to place/mine blocks half a screen away from you.

    Hey guys, to answer a couple of questions..

    The fish axe is an admin item, and has no range limitations. You won't be able to destroy blocks from miles away with regular gear.

    There are many doors to choose from, I just happened to have some wooden ones on me.

    I like how tall the doors are, you'd never really think about it but imagine a door the size of yourself like in Terraria, :rofl:.

    This improves on Terraria in every aspect. Since I love physics, this made me incredibly happy. I can't wait to play the game!:DD

    I really like the idea of water compression, but hope it's water only.
    Because this could result in major griefing if people used lava(if that is in Starbound)

    Besides the splash sprite, will there be rippling on the surface for items/material dropped into water? If so, would this cause a bit of water to go over the sides of its container if the waves are that substantial?

    there are several doors in my house the size of myself, so it's not that hard to imagine...

    Actually now that i payed attention, yes, there is no pressure in Terraria...
    I think the only thing similar is that the water flow is blocky-like...

    What I am curious about is when you mine a block under water say to create an air pocket like you would to suvrive deep water pockets in Terraria, will it actually create an air pocket, or will it instantly get replaced by water like it would in real life? Also will air pressure be a factor? I see the water does not fully equalize in the U shape demo. Does this mean there is a counterforce?

    Heres a few things I noticed. Square water when its dropping down, like in terraria. Flashlight is an underwater light, and lastly. Swimsuits? Lolwut.

    They are trying to fix the blocky look and the flashlight under water looks blocky to so they are trying to smoothen both.

    I think that it would cool if there were air pressure as well. Like in the space station or something.

    I am curious about the infinite water generators! Since water does not compress...where does all that water in the blocks come from? Is there a water generator in it, or has the water been...packed into a small space?

    I am also curious if there will be nozzle blocks of some kind or cappers. So we can make fountains...may be have a fountain and put it on top of a hole, send up the water and YAY!!! Fountain! SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!
