That being said, don't fix the terraformer. But please save the rock puncher.
So having it in one version but not the other wouldn't just be some minor difference, it'd totally change the feel and experience of each version. And yeah, you might not care what happens on the version you're not playing, but I imagine (I'm not a developer so feel happy to correct me here) it would also create two different development strands, and any future changes would have to be considered, balanced and possibly implemented differently or (not at all), all of which would take more time and resources, making development slower for everyone.
True. But they could have it only accessible via console commands or creative mode. There are alternatives. Of course, the reality is that maintaining two separate branches with different terrain systems probably isn't worth it (despite my vote
My own hope is that they eventually release terrain editing tools (something the developers have mused about).
I'm all for sea-floor dwelling creatures, so by all means re-purpose the Rock Puncher.
As the Devs's stated here, it's being removed both for performance AND design reasons. I'm sure I read somewhere that the sea bed respwning into buildings should be fixed with it's removal as well though.
You do know consoles are basically pcs, right?
LOL!!! Not even close.
I know that this is a thing, but it's fucking stupid and should be got rid of. Gamers shouldn't search for differences between each other just to prove that some are superior to others. If you play on PC, fine. If you play on console, fine. We're all gamers here.
Couldn't agree more.
After being a PC gamer for over 10 years I moved to console gaming because I liked the idea of being able to play the latest title without having up spend hundreds upgrading my machine every couple of years. I liked the idea of being able to play multiplayer without having to wait an age while at least one person updated to the latest patch version, or download extra drivers, software for chat and set up VPN's because having more than one player in the same house was causing IP conflicts. I liked the idea of games still getting better over time without me having up upgrade because the developers had time to learn the architecture and didn't have to try and cater for the thousands of possible hardware variants. I liked the idea of being physically sociable and playing games with my mates while we're all in the same room, the way I did as a kid back when networking was something only people did.
Do I think that makes consoles or console gamers better? Nope. Do I shun PC gaming or gamers? Nope.
My life has simply changed in such a way that I now have to spend my money on more important things than the latest CPU (for which I'll need a new MOBO, and RAM, and all singing GPU with UV light). And my gaming time is much more limited, so I've just chosen to prioritise ease of use and sociability over screen resolution and sitting in a room on my own every evening.
And remember, there'll always be someone with a better rig than you, so each to their own guys, play nice.
I have a lot of voxel creative games, and I love base designing, I'd much like to instead explore the world as it is and build my structures based on the world, instead of changing the world.
I have an 8 core system, 8 gigs of ram, 980 ti, and the game stutters and have frame rate issues, can't even get it to use more than 2-2.5 gb of ram. I'd rather a optmized fun experienced then a lag riddled game that let me dig some holes.
I'd keep it as a happy, non necessary extra.
