1.29 bugs so far

  • Copper rake does not work – fixed
  • Empty bucket does not pickup water/magma – fixed
  • Paint stripper should be able to “undye” clothing and carpets – done. Thanks to Chris Drake for suggestion!

All these will be out in 1.29.2.

Please keep testing!

Btw. a great video from ArMax:

I love it.

    And the stair bug? The one I mentioned in the last post, where I reported the bucket bug.

    Here’s the bug in details. Tablet: Nextbook Ares 8 1 g ram. Blocks distance is 128 and the bug seems to happen usually when flying. It occurs in around 5 minutes and happens at random. Hoped this helped!!😁

    Btw I have a suggestion, when you paint a slab, and put a slab on top of it, the slabs go to the normal block without keeping half of it painted, this may be hard to do, but it wouldn’t waste paint. Anyway, that’s just a suggestion.

    I hope previous files import ok with the new 32bit chunks format? Demo version doesn’t allow downloads so we can’t test it.
    Just checking :)

    Kaalus, the creator of that video is a GENIUS. Also seeing as how the character was carrying a torch while it also provided light would be a nice (assuming simple?) addition.

    Maybe you should swap places of iron ore and malachite ore in creative inventory. Its a small thing but it would look better that way :)

    And bottom of sandstone slabs should use the top texture, not side texture

    Great video, but ya can’t hold a brandished torch lit can ya.. So….. Can you please make it so we can hold lit torches Kaalus

    • Posted January 12, 2016 at 19:24 | Permalink | Reply

      Amen, brother! :-) But if it was like that, torches should wear out. We have 32 bit blocks now, which Kaalus said he needed to make torches wear out, so….

    Another thing; there are tall spruce leaves but theres no tall spruce wood. Was that intneded?

    • Posted January 12, 2016 at 08:56 | Permalink | Reply

      The wood should be the same as normal spruce trees, shouldn’t it?

    I noticed that when I went into creative, there were birds, and fish but no land animals. There were no animals around. It was wierd. A world without animals. I wasn’t on static either.

    Kaalus, can u add the ability to light an area when u hold a torch in ur hand? This can be done irl and it is a very useful feature.

    What about the coloured 4 led and 7 segment displays in creative inventory. It’s quite hard to find the right colour because they all look the same

    When I was digging, I saw a bit of sky.

      You get that usually if you have an older device that can not handle the distance you put in place and you ‘see’ the sky. That happened to me long ago with my old iPod Touch, I wonder if its the similar one

    1) The Video is Really Funny, congrats to ArMax! I love the End who ironize to a well known “issue” of Survivalcraft XD (I’ve explained in this way to give no-spoilers)

    2) Wait… With The Fire that doesn’t last infinitely on creatures, is really difficult to get Cooked Bacon/Birds from Animals on fire… Unless if you spam Fire arrows or matches on them…

    3) Thanks for adding the Possibility to Undye Clothes, it’s a honor to me mentioned by you, Kaalus!

    I saw one of the comments in Google play for 1.29 he had problems with FPS of the game everything a word pop up like
    Your wet when your going on the water is this a bug or problems with the phone

  25. Posted January 12, 2016 at 11:45 | Permalink | Reply

    I dont think its a bug, but hunting animals with fire arrows/matches produces raw meat, i think ist because they extinguish themselves.

    • Posted January 12, 2016 at 11:54 | Permalink | Reply

      i mean even if fire kills them, you still get raw meat

      • Posted January 12, 2016 at 12:01 | Permalink | Reply

        I’ve already mentioned it… Technically you can get Cooked stuff, but only if the “Corpse” is kept on fire until they despawn and drop the meats…

  26. Posted January 12, 2016 at 14:29 | Permalink | Reply

    Kaalus, please consider making a few particals when a animal dies black specs and add fly sound effects…

    Maybe the new feature is more storage space. If the blocks are 32 bits then everything would be 32 bits.

    I found a nice seed for 1.29 in the demo version, im wondering will the same seed work in the full version once 1.29 is released there?

    Suggestion: Can you give fences the ability to connect to blocks next to them?
    Btw this was also shown at 0:12 in ArMax’s video but I’m sure it has been requested before :-)

    Idk if it’s a bug but I started/spawned on a tree it being a super tall spruce.

    Yeah I’ve noticed that wolves spawn in your home’s a lot. I would be off travelling and come back to my house with at least 1-2 wolves. Also I’ve also noticed that the carroways don’t spawn a lot like they should. Unless it’s because I Don t travel in desert A lot. I mainly travel the desert that I live in(just to remove the cold effect of having to use fire to warm up)

    How do you get the update for full version? Is it only for the demo?

    How to you test 1.29 for android full? Or can you only test it on the demo?

    Sorry if this is still something you are sorting but the “badrequest400” haven’t been able to upload a world sing halfway through 2015. Sorry if this is just repeating something someone has already said.
    By the way kaalus, 1.29 looks amazing I am so excited to get trees so that if you jump on a mount, you won’t die XD

        They may go underground, but I’ve never seen a wolf in deep caverns. You may be thinking of Hyenas, even though they aren’t canids. They sure look like it!

          Lions will also spawn underground. I’ve had them kill me before.

    Wait so, on Google Play if says there are about 500 Thousand Downloads (although there are probably more because it is not EXACTLY 500 Thousand). Based on the fact that SurvivalCraft is $3.99, that means that Kaalus (over the span of 3-4 years) has made $1,995,000 give or take a few thousand. Nice job Kaalus. SurvivalCraft has made quite an impact.

    My hope for the big new feature:
    “Autimatic-Generate-Structure-Block”
    1. Place “AGS-Block”
    2. Click on edit
    3. Type in block ID, orientation, x-y-z Achsis, widh, high and lengh
    4. Click “generate”
    5. Profit

    For example:
    I wish to build a wall of brickstones. I place the AGS-Block. Set the Brick.ID set the Axises (orientation), set in for 20blocks lengh, 4 Blocks widh and 6 Blocks high.
    So I can build my custom automatic generated stuff ingame.
    Mega Boost for creative mode!!!

    This is a MC example:

      After seeing your video here I downloaded this mod for MC. Incredibly powerful tool for building. Great fun, but not sure how feasible on tablets. I know they released one for MCPE but it is very buggy. Still, a game changer for building.

        I don’t think so mainly because 1. and 2. he said that he didn’t want to add anything supernatural and he just said on that same post that he hadn’t mentioned it before 3. Why would magic need 32 bits? 4. Wouldn’t it be relatively easy to do magic? He even said he had to look it up, so i don’t think so. No idea what int could be, though.

    I have a bug, but it doesn’t seem to be a version specific bug. It has to do with terrain generation. At coordinates 0,0 and lower you fall through the terrain. I personally tested on Windows 10 pc, and it has been confirmed by at least two other users on the forums with different devices.
