In one ruin was a chest with an unknown item, called bucket:bucket. I think the correct item name is bucket:bucket_empty

Fixed.

I dont get it. You want more sources of water or do you think the given are enough?

I was just wanting to know if you have sources of water deep in the ground ??? Sorry I was unclear on what I was asking :o)

No, there are none, but its a nice suggestion that fits the game. I think i gonna add them in next version.

BlockMen ..... I tried melting the snow I collected (in the mountains) in a furnace but it did not work ... I just guessed that you might have made this another source or water to be used :o)

Actually no, that was not the reason. I just wanted add snow to the landscape to look better.
The problem with getting the water from snow is that you would get a water block or a bucket for free, both is not in my interest.
So i would need to change the funaces to allow it in a good way and idk if i want that

A bucket for free doesn't make any sense, that's right.
And holding water in your hands are not really better.
But a crafting recipe like that could be the trick.
Bucket + snow = bucket of snow
Bucket of snow in the furnace + coal = Bucket of Water
But then we have the problem, that Wasteland coult be to easy?

Awesome game! You should add small villages too. They should have a few run down shacks with NPCs in them. Also, enemy mobs walking around, and hiding in caves would add to the wasteland atmosphere. Using the zombie_waves mod really adds an extra challenge. Using firearms to fight was really cool too. Some suggestions would be to add a rare underground bunkers containing weapons and precious minerals, and random piles of bones from dead adventurers with a few supplies in them would be nice as well in conjunction with the graves.

Yes, i want add mobs (at least zombies based on default model) but unfortunately im too stupid to make good mobs in blender...

Actually,I also think it does,because they say by the year 2050,we will experience the last drop of water.if we don't conserve water,trees and grass will die,and herbivores will also die and carnivores will die of starvation and we will die of no food to eat.so,WE MUST CONSERVE WATER! WATER IS LIFE!

Ever heard of conservation of mass and energy?

This is a great game, and I was thinking of modding this to include furnaces spawning in ruins. Would that be difficult to do? I'm not that good at lua.

It would'nt be difficult to add, but for what you want them? Just for "decoration" or for any special reason?

I was thinking of not making furnaces craftable, you can only find them in ruins. Just to make things more difficult for my character. However, it would make the ruins a little more decorative also.

im going to try it

what are grave stones for?

Hmm..i dont like the idea to disallow crafting furnaces. Maybe just as source for coal that is "left" in it

BlockMen ... I see you put this in the game .... but I can not seem to get the the right combination to get a bucket of water ... could I have some crafting recipe help please and thank you


EDITED .... I got it ... 8 snowballs + one bucket in middle :o)

BlockMen .... I know that there is cotton in your game .... but where or how do you get or find it ??? Again thanks for you time and help :o)

You dig up grass and sometimes they will give you seeds. Then you just plant them in soil. After a while, you will be able to dig the cotton.

To plant the seeds in soil, you will need to use the hoe on some dirt or dirt with grass that is near water.

To get the cotton, you may have to wait until the plant goes through 5 or more different looks before it is ready to harvest.

Nope, this game is based on default, not default itself :P

There is currently no way to get cotton since i have no use for it (yet) [and for now i want no beds]

That's funny, I tried this a while ago and I remember getting seeds from grass or maybe weeds and then planting them. Maybe it changed since then but I am pretty sure it was in this game.

I think you get wheat, not cotton

Not 100% sure nut I thought it was:

Grass --> chance of wheat seeds
Junglegrass --> chance of cotton seeds

I found a pool of water under a destroyed house. Is this a glitch?

Read the earlier posts, I think he mentioned that he changed it so that there are occasionally pools. Very rare I think though.

Its a main part of the game and a way to get water in this world

BlockMen ... just a thought for your Wasteland game ... what if you had it rain (once in a great span of time) and then had some kind of plant grow that was needed to help the players development (food, firstaid, etc, ect, ect,) but the rain would not be collectible.

Just an idea .... :o)

Weather (at least the way i think of) is not good enough to add it to the game. So yeah, in general a nice feature but don't expect something like that coming soon...
