Yeah, thankfully i started in the summer so I got a lot of the time consuming stuff out of the way





Oh and the server that I had kinda blew up on me yesterday . So yeah, ill try getting another one up and running when I can, this one only lasted a day or two and the mobo kinda died.
Farming is buggy, but will be fixed very soon.

Animals can be killed the same way monsters are - fire. Get some Flint'n'Steel and use it to burn the mofos.

I tried playing it the other day and didn't see the point, it was just a bunch of blocks scattered about a level randomly and I could break them?

What do you actually do in this game?

Depends what version you are playing

Free = Just sandbox building game, have unlimited blocks, can break blocks in one hit etc. so its just like lego

Alpha = Game is still being made, not even in beta yet so tons of features are still gonna be added like a rpg like adventure mode, goblin villages, abandoned forts, mounts etc.

As of right now alpha mode is a "survival mode" where you gather resources, build bases and all that stuff in the morning then try to survive against monsters (spiders, zombies, skeletons) at night. There are also caves with monster spawners and junk like that. Every thing is randomly generated and your world is the size of earth x 4

I thought what a horrible game but i bought the alpha anyways. 5 hours later I realize I have just seen a game that can rival garry's mod.

Epic because it used music from Inception. Don't get me wrong, the trailer was pretty well done, but...I don't know. I'd still rather play Garry's Mawd

I had some issues figuring out that to use the workbench you had to make it, use it, then right-click on it to actually use it. but now i'm good, its so much fun just to explore and see what you can find.

Haha!

I don't think I could play this unless it was the summer and I had nothing better to do, tried to get the hang of it but can't justify wasting all that time! :(
