When I published 1.28 I wanted to add a big new feature to 1.29 that would make full use of the new 32 bit blocks. This is still definitely on but has been postponed to 1.30. Just look up to see how much stuff I had to do first :-)

First.
Your username will be named soon. Not ununpentium for long!
Hahahahahha
Omg
Not yet.
Checking files/technical. New texture. Nice
Coool!
Thank you Kaalus!… Yes it seems multiplayer is on the way.
It’s not multiplayer.. Kinda sounds corny about You being sure what the new feature will be on 1.30…
Awesome!!!!!!
BTW what about log cabins
No cabins, he built it by himself
He did not make log cabins, he made it possible to build them. For that you needed rotatable logs, which we now have. Thanks Kaalus!
You’ll see that I and a few others requested this quite a few times. This wish of mine came true. I’ll post a world with a big log cabin in as soon as 1.29 is finally out. I’m already building the base structure fot it.
Cool
Wow! Cab you update the Blocks data and icons in the files/technical section
Its not showing up for me
I guess that I’ve still to wait fot the 1.29 update…
Nice to see that The Default Block Texture is already available ;)
its out!!!!
Yes!!! Finally.
Not yet where I live :/…
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! I’m so downloading!!!!
-Added adjustable delay gate with user-configurable delay of 0.00 to 2.55 seconds!
YES ! :D
That’s exactly what I thought!!I ‘m luuuuving it!!(^-^)
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sei q não e o lugar mas qual a diferença da versão grátis para a comprada ?
Em demo você tem um tempo para jogar depois não consegue mais entrar no seu map.
Can we please have more creative options and tools, for example, more customisable options when creating a world. Be able to create much larger islands and adjust sea level / average land level without only using stupid flat terrain option. And faster / better creative tool options for building ( plenty of ideas in forum ) saves me going on and on..
After all creative mode players make a lot of worlds for survival players. So please help make our job easyer and make an update about this. So many players have quit great worlds because the work load becomes to boring and tedious. We need to speed up creative building to make it more enjoyable and keep the interest in a world a player is building alive.
You know it makes sence Kaalus.
You’ve already posted this about 5 times.
So far, so good. No complaints. Thinner fence, longer playing time for demo, huge spooky spruce, love it all. Thank you.
BUG: I was digging around in basalt, only about 10 blocks above bedrock and I found malachite in the basalt. I has not dug in the area since 1.29 update. BTW I love the decreased burning time in creative.
The creative inventory looks so different with copper stuff.
2 more things:
●The description for delay gate still includes ‘vertical surface’ instead of just ‘surface’ in recipedia.
●It would be very helpful if the 4-leds and 7-segment displays were coloured in the creative inventory to make it easier to find the right colour.
●I think you missed the nor and nand gates from the changelist
The Two New Gates have a lot of potential… Are Well Appreciated for me ;)
My Gosh… Due to the Fire that Can Extinguish On Creatures, the Fire arrows are terribly Nerfed… :/
They were kind of OP before though…
… Yeah… I can Agree… But now are too weak in my opinion…
Maybe should be increased the Damage of the Fire Arrow itself? (Like 6 Damage instead of 4?)
In love it. My favorite item is the adjustable delay gate. Thank you Kaalus.
I’m agree… With a delay of 0.01 Seconds, a Dispenser and some Bullets/Arrows/Bolts/Whateveryouwant you can create a deadly machine!
Axes are incredibly weak weapons at the moment. By my calculations machetes are 2.88 times stronger. Maybe if you increase their hit ratio to 50% that would balance it out a bit more.
All this new stuff is amazing, my favorite are the trees and caves.
My favourite favourite is caves.
Wow kalus u are god. Adding so many features this fast. We will have a Grand Theft Auto Online: Survivalcraft by the end of February
Good job Kaalus. So far, so good. It’s running ultra-smooth on my galaxy s5.
I’ve also noticed the New cloth called “Old Tank Top” and the Possibility To Put the Original Tank Top under a Shirt or a T-shirt…
To Put a Tank Top*
I was thinking that if you Put a Dyed Cloth and a Paint Stripper Bucket in the Furnace you can remove the dye from the cloth, but you can’t…
Could be a simple, but good idea?
Wow you have been busy…
Prob another week before we get it on Apple devices tho :(
Now world with lowest temperature and highest umidity are so cool!
Is it on Amazon yet?
No. He will post when he does that.
“Displaying number of worlds on singleplayer screen”
What does this mean now
It means how many worlds you have made
Yeah. But the notion of single player could mean multiplayer
That has always been that way. It has always said “Singleplayer”.
I hope the new textures look good. Can’t wait for the IOS release!
I am going to wait for the full verion of 1.29 and just a question who thinks that the secret item in 1.30 is multiplayer? I am wondering severely
The secret item is NOT multiplayer. The secret item is something that would require 32bit blocks. If you have no clue what that means, just know it doesn’t mean multiplayer.
Maybe, but there is a very low chance that will happen. But who knows?
UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! I have been waiting for multiplayer and it didn’t come out!! I am deleting the app.
As said thousands of time before, IT WILL NOT BE OUT UNTIL A GRAND STATE OF SURVIVALCRAFT IS FULLY ACHIEVED. Patience, patience.
Fine go ahead, Kaalus has his money.
Only 1 issue so far. In 2nd demo world one crash/game close using diamond pickaxe on big grave structure. Could not repro. Now on world 4 no probs. Lenovo IdeaTab S6000-F..
What a great release! The tree mods have greatly refreshed & enhanced the experience, way beyond expectations.
I LOVE THE EXPLODING PUMPKINS! Thank you Kaalus for adding that. You see, Kaalus does read these comments!
The tall spruce height clearance varies nicely, and lets you plant them RIGHT NEXT to a 1 story cabin. there can be leaf blocks next to fallen trees, so theres the bushes someone asked about. Animals recover from fire as expected.
The best organizational improvement is the separation of clothing into 2 tabs, Clothes and Dyed. All basic clothes,armor are now avail on one page.
Painting is great with stone and iron fence construction.
Kaalus said terrain generation may be impacted, but I like it so far. Got one that looked like an African savanna, didnt get overpopulated with trees and hills.
still lots to test!

Exploding pumpkins? Are those some sort of grave drop or something?
Please tell me about these exploding pumpkins
Placing stairs is now very hard. Like, first make a 4×4 (edge only – leaving a 2×2 block space in the middle) square of stairs. That would make 8 regulars, and 4 outside corners. Now try to place inside corners in the middle. You can’t without it ruining the rest and it will ruin itself.
Also, I can no longer use an empty bucket to pick up water in creative. This isn’t important but it is something noticeable. Still testing other stuff.
reproduced. unwanted way the stairs work.
create a new inner corner step out of 2 stairs.then go behind, and try to place a 3rd stair back-to-back with the full back of stair #2 (that forms the inner step with stair #1). you expect #3 to remain full width full height against the fullheight/width backsideof #2. but instead #3 changes to the outer corner stair with just 1 qtr in the top half.
Yeah, I don’t think placing stairs should modify surrounding stairs. If you need to change a surrounding stair you should do it after you place the ones you need to remain. That would diminish some of this.
Looks good. Unfortunately I get lag whenever I place something like torches and powder kegs which then proceeds to the game freezing for a few seconds on my Nexus 6P
No bugs to report! This is amazing! The biggest underground lava pit ever!!!!!! O can’t wait to do electrical stuff!!!
The copper rake doesnt till the soil!
You’re right! The only copper tool I didn’t test… Of course.
I didnt test any of the other copper tools except the rake! xD
There are also random dirt patches where grass is supposed to be and lastly, i dont know if I was unlucky but I got no drops out of 9 gravestones being broken.
Noted, will fix, thanks!
crashed again just walking into cave mouth. no warnings or errors in logs.
Try reducing visibility range, 1.29 uses more memory and out of memory is an instant crash.
Yes that’s it, the FPS was down to 7, CPU was hitting 99+%. Nifty little tool that viewer.
I wish I had the update. but oh well, go IOS!
Bug: If you combine 2 slabs different color slabs, it will become full block with color of last slab you put
I do not think that is a bug. Kaalus has stated that if you put two slabs on top of each other it becomes one whole block just like in Minecraft
It’s two different types of slabs though
Yes, but red slab + blue slab = blue block and etc. It’s not logical
But you want two colors on one block?? It isn’t possible to write a code for this if you work less than one year.
Hay kaalus check this out!
Made it myself just for you!
What do you think?
And this one!
And another!
Our hero gots guns!
Kaalus I want so badly to know what you think of all this art that I spent all week to make perfect just for you…. Please give me some signe of life…. Some kind of recognition….. Hec if you like it I may try to make the first one a T Shirt design and sell them to support our hero….. Or at least the you the one making our hero.. BTW you are my hero but I am referring to Survivalcrafts hero…..what are you going to name him…… ? I like the name Kevin. Please give me some recognition for a hole week of non stop designing for these pictures… :-D
Hi Justin, I’ve seen all the art you made, it’s great! Thank you. I am extremely busy with 1.29 release that’s why I don’t have time to reply to pretty much anything. I will be doing screenshot contest soon, if you feel you’re good with art you may like it.
Thank you so much!!!!
It makes me feel very good to know my hero actually likes something I made!!
I will try to make some more pictures like these and hope to impress you with them. Keep up your grait work love the update! You should see what a 1.29 texture looks like on 1.28 world’s brick LEDs are cool to look at!
I’m in!
Bug: Game crashes after 3 minutes of the demo 1.29
Thank you for the report, can you please tell me what were you doing when it crashed. What device do you have. Can you reproduce the crash. Is there anything in the log?
It usually happens when flying. Crashing is random. Device is next book ager 8
I can’t find this device “next book ager 8”, are you sure you spelled it right?
For me it was too high a visibility range, try reducing it.
Its Ares sorry
Hey Kaalus, when will 1.29 be out on Amazon?
Also, Amazon and Google are the only services that carry your demo. You should see about getting your demo into Windows and/or Apple.
There are lots of people who get only demo versions, but on occasion they will buy the whole game if they think its worth it, and with your game they’ll have no choice ( -:
Some years ago, my dad found your demo while looking at Minecraft.
He gave it a wiz and within a day we owned the real deal.
So I think you should send your demo to the other services.
Also, it would give you a lot of more testers for bugs after a release.
Tons of new features! Woo-hoo!
Ty Kaalus!
Ps.. If any skilled builders want to join this epic project pm me on SC forums.

A couple times dragging planks block to user tray the icon got stuck on the left side icons. Putting the block in try then throwing it away resolved it.
Kaalus I think there is a bug with render distance. If you go over 80 render it will say fast device and I have a textbook ares 8 from may 2015 and its fast.
I do not know what’s wrong but if it is a bug please fix it. If it is not please explain why. I really need help with this!!
I like the 1028 x1028 adoulkin texture1 setting but there are a lot of glitches in 1.27 and 1.28. Please help, I have an iPad mini.
kaalus why does an electrical signal get reduced to 8 when it passed through certain gates twice, took me about 3 hours to re-wire half my house so that all the lights are at a correct brightness, and yes it took me 3 hours, i made a very big house with lots of cool features that requires enormous amount of wires,gates, circuits, etc.
Use a wicher-lamp roof. Will look like a planks roof and if you cover it at top the players will not guess your secret.
Hello, friends. Please tell me what is the lowest platform on 1.29 works? Please help me!!! P.S. Kaalus, I love your work.
