I was looking at patterns today and saw it had a new update. It is showing as version 01F (49936). On the NEW screen are listed; ProtoWorld2 – The previous world Beta testers started with, Barren Plain – a new flat world, Red Bluff – a new vertical world, and Hanging Gardens – a fun build no doubt made to give people and idea of the possibilities.
Barren Plain
I had to learn to jump to get the materials I wanted. I also found collapsing shapes behave a bit differently.
Red Bluff
I spent so much time in the Barren Plain I haven’t played much here.
Hanging Gardens
This world has some interesting builds. I hate to tear anything down to build new things.
I would like to be able to turn off depth of field.
I noticed the update to f a few days ago. Be a bit careful in this version, it is very intolerant of a lot of physical objects laying around. This can happen easily in Hanging Gardens when objects that you think are going into the void land on islands underneath. This results in massive lag (<1 fps), crashes and corrupted save files.
I will get around to making a bug report for this but atm I am pissed at them. There is no way to submit a crash report and they told me to just give a thorough description of the problem and if they want a crash report they will ask for it! WTF! I paid to alpha test this thing for them and they can not be bothered with crash reports? This goes beyond bad support, as alpha testers we are part of the team and they are putting us down.
If I had run into that, I’d be pissed too.
