As you already know, the next version will have painted wires. I’ve seen a lot of you say that wires should not connect to wires of different color, apart from non-painted wires which should connect to everything.
After some fiddling with the electricity system I added it, but please tell me whether you are sure this is a good idea?
This is how it looks in action:
As far as I can see it has these positives:
- You can make smaller circuits because you don’t have to worry so much about wires connecting inadvertently
- All existing builds work as previously (because they have only non-painted wires that connect to everything)
- You can still use it for marking function of wires, as long as entire wire is the same color, which you would probably do anyway (unless you wanted to do multicolored markings, but that seems like an extreme corner case)
I can’t see any negatives.
I don’t have time to pore over this forever, please have a think and let me know whether you foresee any problems? Or if you see a way to generalize this idea any further, perhaps some colored wires interactions with other electric blocks?
We can still back off from this, but once it is released there will be no going back, because people will start using it in their builds.

OK
Omg kaalus hurry up and write something. It’s been almost a month. Did you die? I’ll switch back to Minecraft if you don’t say something soon. 😣
PS: I couldn’t find the angry emoji. LOL
I honestly don’t see what’s so fun MC. I don’t even play SC anymore unless I’m spurred on by a post. But I will never play non-modded MC again. Sorry if this seems nasty, i just don’t understand why MC is so loved. And half the time the people who like MC hate SC. :-(
Do you think that threatening to switch back to Minecraft will strike fear in him? He is either taking a break or working hard on the game. Have patience. He will eventually post something. He doesn’t have an obligation to post, and update us on the game each time he adds something new. It is a luxury. He doesn’t owe you a post.
I agree with you that he should not be threatening and that he should be patient but I think that Kaalus does have an obligation to keep us posted on what he is doing considering that we invested our money into it.
First
Lolnope
Darn
What’s the 60 in the corner?
Looks like debug stats
I’m going to guess that it is from the program Kaalus is using to record gameplay.
FPS 60 is Frame rate of 60 per second.
Looks like Fraps?
You can turn on fps counter in the settings that’s all he did here mine looks the exact same
There is a frames per second meter already in the settings for the game that you can turn on and off.
No, the left bottom corner.
Oh, I thought you were talking to me.
It will be what josmil said, fps counter for a screen recorder, why? Upload his videos on YouTube and use the screen recorders screenshot ability
And how to connect wires with different color? Maybe unpainted should stick to all of them, kinda universal wire
…aw right, you can already do that, never mind, now I see it! Awesome feature!
That is what Kaalus said.
“…apart from non-painted wires which should connect to everything”
“, apart from non-painted wires which should connect to everything.” Yup he said that, so it won’t mess with existing circuits
Yeah he said once its in the game it’s there to stay because if he removes it that would mess up peoples builds.
Proceed with it kaalus, it’s a much needed feature, that will greatly improve electrical mass displays and other circuits.
I too am not seeing any immediate problems to this, in fact it’s much more practical. As we have colour coded words irl, in nearly everything and they don’t branch and link together as far as I know.
I like the idea alot, and you can just use non painted wires as connectors
I think its great! Paint the wires!!
Bad idea, because if we want to make a straight line of colored wire blend in with the color of our walls we can’t because they won’t connect.
*Straight line of DIFFERENT color wire
That’s one very small negative. Just hide the wires, or use a connector such as a wire through block or unpainted wire but hide it
colored lines do connect to their color
I bet you thought long and hard to find that negative.:p
No tbh i was thinking about it that way because I have an old school building that I’m finishing up and I thought it would be cool to wire it to look old with the wires on the wall painted over to match the stripes in it… But other than that I have no problems at all with it!😀
Either way, its better than before. And coloring wires isnt really for making them blend in, its to keep track of what does what.
This is an excellent idea. Please keep it the way it is. This will reduce overall size of machines. Being unable to run circuit side by side has plagued my builds since the beginning of electricity
Its a good idea
Great idea Kaalus
were the 4 lights are I think that there are 2 wires on the same block? correct me if I am wrong
how about you put it on a test version of the game like a demo and let us test it and if all goes well it will go in the real game
That would take like 3 years then before we get 1.30
Great Idea! Keep it!
I only see good sides with this idea…
I like the idea I feel like it has more pros than cons and the one con is a worthless thing to do anyways. I’m about functionality not looks
dont get me wrong though im not against it but i don’t want to surprised by unexpected changes like when you change how light reacts to different analog signals, i like the feature but it took the a couple days to re-wire by whole house….and yes it a very large house with very complex wiring that make up automated systems, etc…..but in the end I added new functions to my lighting systems
“All existing builds work as previously (because they have only non-painted wires that connect to everything)”
its great idea i asked about this alot :)
Thanks and please dont change it.
This help to make some devices even more compact.
Awesome idea Kaalus
Still wanting cross wires
this is a good idea i am 100% sure it wil help ALOt of ppl
Looking great Kaalus! I have no problem with it. I just ask you put bug fixes in the next update. Thanks!
Wow, cool :) it is much simplifies the circuit, just super!
This will be amazing! I can’t see any downsides either.
Excellent work Kaalus!!!
I LOVE it!!!
I have been waiting for this forever!!!
I also do not foresee any problems.
Lol, I’m waiting for a very cultured non Spaniard to comment, their outbursts of anger amuse me
Keep this feature Kaalus I have been wanting it for so long. Please ad it
Im down
Wont affect me…good feature though.
It is an excellent option as well , we can make more compact mechanisms and no longer have to be Cruzen by mistake and apart so the new feature that comentabas that could be used with electricity maybe this will facilitate use
Interesting.
EPIC! THX KAALUS! NOW WE CAN BUILD BETTER ELECTRIC WORLDS/ITEMS!
Okay, I just realized this, but Awesome Sauce up there is not me (awesome sauce) in the forums. Also, looks great. If you are able to shrink down stuff, this will make it even more compact. :-) Good luck.
I’m not sure whether this would be possible, but crossover blocks would be very useful. As in, one wire crossing another wire but not connecting to it. Even if it was just one (copper) or two colors that it worked with. And I don’t see any downside to the new wires.
Are the painted wires going to be in electrics category or painted?
I understand why they would be in painted, but it seems pointless. I don’t know, what does everyone else think. Should they be in ‘Painted’ or ‘Electrics’?
Awesome work Kaalus, thanks for making such a great game!
They should be in painted, as to not clutter up the electrics area
Here’s my argument on the subject.
Why store a spool of wires in a cabinet on the left side of the room, when there is plenty of space in the cabinet on the right side of the room with all the other electrical equipment in it.
I think painted becaus it would take up a lot of room in the ‘Electrics’ section.
You should make an electric heater so farmers can grow plants anywhere (even in extremely cold areas). Grow-lights would also be helpful. Or pumps – allowing you to tap into pools of water not immediately where your greenhouse / grow-house.
Kaalus on the painted wires…get ride of that joining part, in the middle… Like the white goes to the middle joining the other color in the middle… The white should just be a straight line in this example… The the middle should just be one color. I.e. Standard color copper wire. I hope this makes sense.
*Rid
I think it is a good idea for more complex, compact builds.
Kaalus, that’s perfect for electricity and is it possible for you to make copper blocks, iron blocks, metal stuff conduct electricity? That will also be useful for some worlds.
I wish you can craft cool stuff with electricity e.g metal detectors! From magnets? I don’t get whats the point of having batteries in survivalcraft, they seem useless.
Batteries are used in more ccmplex builds to provide a selectable specific analogue voltage.
Kaalus Please let us cross our wires like irl! Like a blue wire can be placed across (and directly on top of..) a red, green, white, black wire. (Thus allowing much more compact and intricate electrical builds.)
Should’nt be too hard to add in. For hight I was thinking one wire would be the same as always but if you stack/cross twp different wires it is concidered a half block or slab in height. Think about it.
With colored wires this is easy. You put a wire-through block sideways and have one color of wire go through and the other go over.
Great idea! I’ll probably have to use this sometime if he decides not to implement this idea y’all came up with.
Kaalus is it possible to place wires underwater? Plus did you check that there are no bugs in the game? especially the new features don’t worry what’s important is what we get not when we get.
Then why did u ask for a reward for waiting….
About flight speed, how will you change speed? Button? settings?
I can’t wait for suvival features! It’s getting boring to survive!😫😩
Agree
This is the end result desired ( I think I can speak on behalf of most everyone here.) by all here…
The two wires ( If painted different colors.) Would overlap but not connect. Allowing for much smaller and intricate builds…
Also can you try and fix this? It has really hindered my ability to make smaller circuts and such… I can’t place any electrical equipment one block high and just run a wire to it.. it always breaks one or the other…
Now that I think about it.. thia would be a very hard fix.. as technically both wire and light/whatever else would have to occupy the same block space.. Maby look at this one later..
Kaalus can you please add wire-through-blocks that go through one end and comes out the sides (for changing the direction you are placing the blocks in) If you don’t know what I mean I mean that it creates something like an L instead of just an I. Sorry I’m terrible at explaining things
Yes please! This is needed since you added wire-trough-blocks. Maybe you can make them also paintable?
YES LIKE THIS! AND MAYBE ADD MORE WIRE THROUGH BLOCKS LIKE THESE!! lol
AND….
That would be awesome! You could also have the blocks painted. At least the ones that can be painted.
I see a difficulty:
Right now there are 17 pages of painted blocks.
If you keep the colored wires just for decoration purpose then you can make just a 18th page.
But If you decide to give the colored wires an actual technical purpose please let them in the “electricity page” maybe on page 3.
The reason is the practical usage.
Just for decoration without other purpose the colored wires would be useless in the electricity tab.
On the other side for technical purpose it would be very frustrating to switch several tabs just to find the needed colored wire if they are in the “colored blocks” tab.
Long story short: please keep all wires together in the electricity tab if you decide to keep the mentioned change!
BTW I am looking forward this new feature. Colored wires will revolutionize electric worlds!
I like it, I can only see how it’ll help manage wires.
If you added a wire/device that’s sole purpose is an cross intersection where North and South power won’t interact with East and west… That would be awesome!
There is no reason in the world for this to not be added!
Woooooooooooohooooooooooo
Add it please!
Yeah, the only downside would be art, but I’m not a pixel artist. If you are, please voice any problems that would be inconvenient. (Ok, I do some pixel art)
I have seen some people saying they want angle wire-through-blocks. Guys if two adascent sides are unblocked, the wire connects through a corner. If you mean so it looks prettier with a solid block of “wire”, look at your tv or pc wires in real life. Pretty? = No.
I think where it will be helpful, is if the corners are connected to wire through blocks. You can then still put wires on the outside as well.
I also agree with daisflaque’s post saying clicking on the same block sould lead to overlapping wires. Four or even just two should be max though.
Thanks for the support. I think its the next logical step to step up the electrical engineering part of the game.
I agree with you. This would be a great addition for the game. But don’t forget that the game is based on blocks. Each block can have exactly 1 BlockID. Every placeable item is considered as block. So two wires can’t fit in one block. Like two cars can’t fit in one garage. For this reason you can’t buld spikes left and right on the the same block. Or place anything on a high slab or stairs.
Ahh but with the addition on 32 bits of data per (block) you can do amazing things. ;);) xD
I am not saying it is impossible ;) But I think if it was just a small change in code he would have added it already. But on the other side: He reads our comments which means he is interessted in our opinions. And that makes him an extraordinary developer!
Survival Craft definitely has the potential for greatness. I find myself playing it more then ‘the alternative’. Quite alot I might add… Anyway yea Kaalus is an awesome dev!
Is that a dispenser where the wires go 1 block down?
Wire through planks.
This would be a great feature to have, now when I try to make a simple fireworks machine it turns into a huge build because whenever I get the wires to close they connect inadvertently
Just. DO IT!!! It’s awesome. Just. Do. It.
Yes! Keep this! We can easily make Electricity Creations with this! Good job Kaalus!
We can make our Electricity Creation Compact! Keep this! We can make our creations compact!
I can’t wait for the BIG feature in the Alpha 1.30 update!
What’s the big feature? I want to climb out of my ignorance!
we don’t know
Oh. Darn. Somebody said they knew what it was.
I don’t know
Some of us think it might be some kind of custome blocks, where you create your own blocks, like furniture etc.
It’s very obviously this.
Quite a while ago somebody jumped on me and perfusely badmouthed me because I very confidently explained that it is custom blocks. He mistook my confidence as arrogance. So now I’m just a bit more cautious to ruffle any feathers. There are still a few that believe differently though with weird explanations.
This is going to be insanely useful! Way to be Kaalus!
Couldn’t you have 2 options, to have this game michanic on or off or instead have it as an option while setting up a world
I can’t want for the update!!! #<3 Survival Craft!!!!!!
Ja, come on release it ! :)
What if some non painted wires are connected and someone paints them different colors, Kaalus?
Kaalus can we get an update on progress? Please?
Now with all the ideas rolling, can we get a wire through block with four wires. You can then connect wire through blocks in four directions from only one block, isolated from each other. It would be great if blocks with four inputs, could connect directly through the back to this block.
A few very needed features Kaalus (apart from MP of coarse):
1. More open slots in creative mode.
2. Further digging/building distance and higher digging/building speed in creative mode
3. higher mountains – this will require a redo of world creation. I think the total hight of a world is 256 blocks. This will have to be increased to 512. With this option, old worlds must also be changed, but keeping the ground level the same or just increase the depth at unexplored areas. Also bring more seed options, with higher mountans, deeper valleys, lower mountains as is now, etc.
4. With land creation, give us rivers and valleys.
5. Life must spawn on islands as well please. They are totally lifeless at the moment. Animals must also not try to return to the mainland – which is actually needed to keep them from drifting into the ocean – a bit tricky.
6. Animals must stop to disappear. It is frustrating to build a place and seed animals and return later to find them gone.
7. Allow more animals to be spawned, especially if they are far from each other.
8. It would be great if animals could increase over a long period of time, not like in MC with feeding. It is unrealistic. I takes many months for a baby animal to be born, so it must be. With cows, there must be a bull. With birds, we can use eggs, maybe just hatch more than 20% chance, which is ok if the birds didn’t keep on disappearing.
Maybe there should be two types of water, fresh and salt. Would this make sense?
Definitely! I’ve always wanted the same thing.
I agree. While there have been a lot of great new features, little issues are ignored.
Even with the option of setting temperature and humidity the landscape gets monotones after awhile. Distinguishable features are lacking.
The problem with animals despawning is is horrible. There’s no sense in making a cow pen if the cows vanish. Same with horses. Why bother keeping horses if they vanish from their stall.
Predators are too aggressive toward non-predator animals. I’ve seen an area completely cleared of cows and pigs by a single lion. YOu end up with a dozen lions and two dozen wolves. There aren’t enough non-predators and too many predators.
Other issues:
Fish are too hard to kill. A spear should kill a small fish in one shot. Small fish need to spawn more.
All forms of transportation are basically useless. Horses should not vanish nor get stubborn. Boats should be safe from fish attacks. I understand if a fish attacks a boat AFTER you attack the fish but otherwise it doesn’t make sense. Boats are also way too slow.
Farming for rye is too time consuming and bread is too expensive to make it worth the effort. I only build rye farms for the asthetic appeal, not for their usefulness. Rye farming should be more like cotton. Cotton farming is excellent. You get the cotton plus seeds.
Bread should be easier to make.
I agree with you on all points
Horses should still get stubborn but you shouldn’t fall off if you go under a tree.
IKR! Like in real life.. you would simply duck… like automatic… duh… lol
I hope you do know you can plant the rye you harvest and there is plenty of rye that comes from one rye plant to make up for the one you planted also the farm land keeps the saltpeter with it for a while after multiple replants
If horses got stubborn in real life the way they do in the game, there would never have been cavalry. Can you see the great Mongol horde galloping into battle and suddenly their horses stop and shake their heads?
Donkeys and camels I can understand but not horses.
I always replant my rye after harvest. After replanting I end up with a little less than what I dug up.
One loaf of bread costs 9 rye. If I have 9 plots of farmland I need to harvest (with replanting) twice to get at least 9 usable rye.
I actually like the bread “baking” process; i.e. making flour and dough. I just wish that 1) harvesting rye would yield both seeds and usable rye and, 2) it cost less rye to make flour. Or maybe 1 dough yield 2 loaves of bread.
Good idea to make it more realistic/user friendly! I approve of this post. lol
Agreed
I agree with those too. I really want baby animals. They’re so cute!
Agree with 90% of these. Great ideas/tips!
Certain aspects of surviving have gotten too monotonous.. Even on the verge of annoying.. If you want cloths to find food and such you need to have a huge..no.. massive cotten farm. It doesn’t make sense.. And as y’all said rye farming doesn’t pay off at all… Why should I grow something.. Then when harvest comes.. You just gotta start all over? Find all the raw rye to plant again.. Things need to be more realistic.. Simple.
OK one…
My smallest farms are 3×6 and provide tons of cotton
Two…
I agree to some extent with the rie farming however, instead of finding the all over again
I plant a portion of my rie crop to keep it a sustainable food source…
But good point
He didn’t want to encourage farm living. That’s why farming is hard he wants you to fight animals sometimes
I use traps. Actually going out to fight is dangerous. I simply make a drop off trap with food dispensers to attract said animal into trap. Water brings all drops to a line of chests. Once in awhile Ill have to run outside… for emergency rations have run out. lol
I didn’t like the clothing aspect at first but when I found out how easy cotton grows I didn’t mind. I only wish the clothes would last longer.
Horses can be tamed, but this is a video game, it is limited. Also, boats should be indestructable to anything tiny like parahnas or baracudas. Now if a rhino attacked, it would still have decent speed in water. Horses are living animals, depending on the rider, their treatment, food, mating and a bunch of other stuff, they will react differently. I’ve ridden them and know a fair amount about them since I live in the middle of the country in Missouri. If you don’t tell it who’s boss, it does what it wants.
Lord Kaalus, please do not put this in 0.30.0.
Why.
There should be an option or even a second kind of wire that does not connect. This will save everyone’s problems. Like a connecting and disconnecting wire.
Whatever I said before this.
I dont want colores wires… This is really pointless…
Do explain.
He probably doesn’t understand they all have their own connection
I have a question. My worlds won’t upload because it says BadRequest (400). Any ideas? It happens on all of them even though there’s nothing inappropriate.
I have struggled a bit as well. I now upload my world tp my phone and then upload it with Dropbox through my browser. Using the Dropbox app also gives problems. My world (Real Animate) is more than 7M in size.
Ok thanks!
I would like it if we could publish worlds without storing them in Dropbox.
YIt should work OK if you useoutlook.com. If you’re on iOS, it would be difficult, since iOS does not have a file manager.
Where did you go
So…
What do you play?
I would love some feedback from the community so I can improve this image :-D
Nice
Thanks! :-D
Great work again! You could actually try and make the wood planks 3D (As right now they seem just a 2D image of planks).. Thats the only thing I could suggest, a bit of depth..that’s it.. its good man.
Thanks!
And I am a little confused about how to make it 3d….
Grate ideas though! :-D
Like this my friend…
I guess I’m trying to say depth.. and shading to make it look 3D like the app icon. ;)
It is not as easy as you say…
The 2d and shading together don’t give a 3d appearance however I just made a new one which doesn’t need shading!
What do you think about this new quote?
And do you think it looks good?
BTW this one is not as big yet
And do you think I should get one of these on a t shirt?
If so, which one?
OMG BASKETBALL JERSEY! LOL
Awesome! Also, Justin, if you want to learn more about that game i wanted you to code, you can go to the blog, here: https://legendsofanancientcity.wordpress.com, or the wiki, http://legends-of-an-ancient-city.wikia.com/wiki/Legends_of_an_Ancient_City_Wikia
Good job Justin Briggs
Make edible horses . Add fruit trees , berries and bushes .
I don’t think eating horses is such a great idea. By the way, how do we know Adam and Eve was not Chinese?
Easy, they would have eaten the snake!
HaHa, Love it!!!
That’s raicist bro. Just. No.
You’re probably right. Sorry. Sometimes we can laugh at ourselves though.
I honestly don’t think it’s racist I’m ‘Murican and I would do eat a snake if given the chance. Especially if it ment doing the world a favor :/
Gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8 time to celebr8 guess its just f8
It is sad how ignorant Americans are these days. For example calling yourself Murican is disrespectful.
I am american from Arizona and snake is really good.
😂
Thats a good idea, horses are too buggy to really use for me. So having them drop food would be great, just like in terrafirmacraft! Fruit trees i would love too lol.
I wouldn’t eat a horse even if my life depended on it!!!
“I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.”
I sure could.
Gross, dude.
Yet people think it is ok to eat pigs and that is ok.
Have you ever had jello or gelatin? Voila! Youve eaten boiled horse bones! Youve eaten a horse!
I think I discovered a bug or a feature.
You already know that on negative coordinates you will fall trough the blocks in the void and die.
What I noticed is that you will fall for eternety. As you can see the body fell for over 10000 Blocks.
So I just wonder if that has some impact on the performance. I threw a lot of things down the void. Will they just keep falling for the rest of the time?
When I respawn will they still be falling? Or is there a code which just deletes them? If not I think there is room for an optimization. What do you think?
This happened to me, too! Confirmed bug. Please fix it Kaalus
There’s nothing to fix. It’s not a bug. Don’t fix anything if its not broken. There’s no reason to be in any void area of the map anyways, so who cares?
Yes it is. When you pass the negative
coordinates, you fall through the terrain
@aurasphere if you shouldn’t be in the negative coordinates in the first place, there’s no need to fix anything out there. It’s not like theres not enough space that you need to be in a negative region.
@brythok there IS a need to fix the bug. It is unrealistic to fall through terrain unless if it is water or magma.
It doesn’t count as a bug if it is something impossible to do within the normal constraints of the game. I know there is the stairs/slab method but that is not what should be fixed, not the infinite falling.
It DOES count as a bug.
Remember items despawn after like 3 mins or so. Cool find though
Correct
So that’s how the no clip mod works!
Please fix the bug with loss dropped items under gravestones and add weather button in the creative mode.
+1 for weather button. Stopping/starting rain/sun should already be in game imo.. Why a lightning button but no weather button Kaalus?
Yeah I agree. Sometimes I want a storm and sometimes I want to kill the storm.
True
I think that crops (especially rye) should drop more seeds, but take ages to grow. In real life, there’s one or two harvests per year, in SC, there’s one every week. Half a year would be a little over the top, but maybe make the crops grow for about 50 days? To equalize this, they’ll have to drop at least twice the amount of seeds they drop now.
I think crops should drop more seeds but take like 50 days to grow.
I agree, days could be lengthened a little as well.
I think that crops should yield at least twice more seeds than they do now but take AGES to grow.
Add a setting for a minecraft crafting User Interface. It’s just too hard to remember all the clothes recipe, So confusing!!!
Lol, looking up the recipe in the Recipe Menu must be so hard.
Just give us the update! I waited circa. 100 day for this update and now i dont want to wait any longer or i dont play sc anymore!
How old are you again..?
Older than you!
Where, it doesn’t seem like it. You’re acting like a little lid.
No i dont want to wait longer i wait since 60 days for builiding New things with the feature!
I guess you weren’t here before 1.28 announcement.
When did you came to survivalcraft?
Oh, sorry, didn’t saw this question. I just came when it was at version 1.18.
I think i played SC longer than you i play SC since 3 years. I can build very good ( i was the creator oft the maps: working firework (i think i was the first one that builded fireworks only with gunpowderkegs and uploaded it ~400000 downloads) and USS Atlanta (uploaded this january now ~70000 downloads). What did you build?
A life. Stop acting like that and have patience.
Hey guys, it is not nice to be so boastfull of who is the best. Maybe it is better to be a bit humble. Some guys can build better than others, some are still quite young and might not be able to build so great, even older guys might struggle to build great things. I think I can build quite good things, but I know there are others who build much better. I have a life apart from SC, but some live in SC. Some of the builds require so much time, I wonder how people have an income as well, let alone a family who they care for. I myself at one stage spent way too much time on SC. This is not a religion, something MC is more inclined to.
There is life after SC.
That’s what I meant with the last comment.
I love the tall spruce trees btw 🌲
Visit here please http://wp.me/p3UQ7O-el
If computers were faster, we could try to make games as realistic as possible, but the speed of electricity isn’t exactly going anywhere. When we find that loophole, things are going to get a lot more interesting…
Time to send off the alarm. Go to the Survivalcarft video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rh92zT0FYI and look at game.
IT SAYS MINECRAFT.
It’s just the games genre.. Minecraft did do it first.. so to catch the eye of minecraft players.. some tags miggt say minecraft.. simply to catch new potential players.. I found survivalcraft watching minecraft videos.. now he has a lifelong customer outta me. ;)
Another version!
What do you guys think?
And is there enough Depth?
:-D
YES IT LOOKS WIKID! lol really like it!
Awesome bro!
Well…
Its good looking, but the words are redundant.
Try changing it to “mine, hunt, survive” or something.
Hola kaalus sería algo muy bueno agregar más tipos de comida y cultivos y poder utilizar el dispensador para que el agua se pudiera expulsar para hacer mecanismos, y talvez para la supervivencia agregar la sed que nuestro jugador tomará agua al igual que la comida.
I have seen two people comment “I do not want colored wires.” Problem is, they didn’t say why. Your opinion is invalid if there is no opinion. Besides, I have aslo seen people mention Minecraft, this will greatly increase the difference between the two games and could encourage specific SC video tutorials for new advancements in circuitry. This IS a good idea.
You have truly impressed me with this statement….
Very very few have ever done that with such a short comment on this blog :-D
And I will gladly remake my shut up and drive game once he updates! :-D
Yes! It’s me! I can’t wait! S.J Friday! It’s me but names changed.
I have made quite a few changes to my world, Real Animation. Have a look at it. I have also added a new rectus pack I’ve created. Let me know if you like the world and the texture pack.
It is about 39th on the community content. You can also look at Logic City and My Log Cabin, but they are the same world beginning at different places, since the world is quite big.
You can create your own animation as well. It is quite easy with an excel macro I wrote.
With the new coloured wires feature, builds like this will be much easier. Even something simple like my logic sign was a bit tricky because wires connect everywhere. It can be made much smaller after the update. Maybe I’ll rebuild it after the update to compare.
Some might think that creating an animation like that is not such a big deal. It was not that simple. There is one other world that did something like this, Animator Pro, which is quite good as well with higher resolution, but the animation is not that great. The macro helps with that. Maybe it will help his world as well.
With the one lift I’ve used gates to create a computer to select levels (not a good as high tech elevator). Coloured wires would have been very helpful.
See if you can find my garden under the sea as well. Quite a bit of these things were created in survival.
Hola podrias poner el link de descarga de tu mapa??
Here is my link to My Log Cabin:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/osvoj42x1bphrdo/My%20Log%20Cabin.scworld?dl=1
Please rather use the Comunity download page to help the rating and rather download Real Animate. why would you rather have a link? The world normally also includes the texture pack but also download it. I am doing a small change to it.
excellent work very good friend
What an amazing world you’ve created. So much imagination! I found all the cabins, used the elevator, went in the underwater gardens.. Stunning
Great to hear and thanks for the compliment.
I also downloaded your texture pa k which is beautiful. I don’t know what the dispenser is for though.
I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this, but what if you could re-expand hammered objects? You could literally pick up your house and place it. :D
Evereone! Please download my new and first wallpaper!
And please give me some more ideas!
Wow… Great this one!
A litttle more darker and will be perfect… I mean the pickaxes, the SC logo and the Text are too enlightened In my Opinion but still great!
It would be better if you didn’t distort it, so it looks right out of the game because that’s not what SC looks like.
Is this any better?
I added a background :-D
Bad a** dude.
Thanks!
It’s my first wallpaper! :-D
Darker… And also have a background… Excellent!
Thanks!
I hope you use it on your phone wallpaper! :-D
On small Tablets Fits Better ;)

Will this work?
Nope…
How about now
file:///storage/emulated/0/MyFavorite/Survivalcraftnutnut%20logo.png
?
How do I post an image with transparency?
Maybe just put with white background
You can’t post an image from the file system on your local machine. Upload the image to dropbox or another image hosting place and then post the link.
Come on! We all want to know what the new feature is!
Regarding the addition of a new block in the game.
I do not open anything new, it’s just a usual wiring will only appear as a block. Wire block will simulate normal wire is also connected with all the mechanical elements.
technically you need to switch the ‘z’ and ‘y’ axis’ in that one picture you got there :) but I’m just being annoying
I like this location of axles :) So for me всё super ^_^
Sorry. So for me ALL super
For those who like diamonds:-D
I’m getting a new profile pic check it out!
👍
The iron looks better
Really?
I thought the diamond looked better :-D
Any ideas what to make next?
I would love to hear them :-D
Well… Something that involves Copper Tools/Weapons/Armor? Idk… Just a random idea…
Good idea however…
I looked and found no copper tool icons to use…
:-P :-D
Any other ideas?
That I could get on a T-shirt
Right now I am set on getting the blocks and pickaxes logo on a T-shirt
But you could give me an idea that may even be put on a T-shirt instead :-D
Ask Kaalus.
Some ideas that would be so cool ( revolutionary) for adventuremaps:
1. Teleporters (only for creative no crafting)
2. Soundpacks to add our own sounds (for a horrormap horrormusic or something)
3. Our own textures for clothes and tools
4. A function to give tools/items/food/blocks/clothes custom names
5. more food types
6. more guns (Revolver/shotgun)
7. a function to shot/reload faster
8. a function to spawn blocks or despawn them
What do you mean? Pls post your meanings!
Making your own music would be cool. What if Kaalus adds a recorder that records the tones played by the sound generator. Like make a sound/music circuit that’s hooked to a recorder that records all the tones, and then just hook the recorder to a sound generator without all the circuitry. If you understand what I mean.
With new block sizes, devices could be made mich smaller and do something similar.
Yes that would be nice!
As long as SC never adopts MC portals to the Nether. It is really lame, but teleporters will help with creative or even just faster flying. I do love MC’s minecarts though. Maybe something like that would also help.
but we do got horse’s.. and they aren’t stuck to a rail..
The rail is actually an advantage. You get on the radiorail and go where I want to, without needing to steer and at high speed. There is no need to navigate either. I never use horses, they are to dangerous, stubborn and slow. If you just come close to a tree, you need to watch out because you might die. To use horses, you need to build highways to be safe.
I would like to know if there are anybody who use horses in cruel mode.
Don’t get me wrong, I think horses are cool and unique compared to MC, just do not compare it to a rail system.
I use my horse in cruel mode. have a save file if ya like. Horses aren’t unique to this game.. MC has em.. even has horse armor.. lol
They are used for basically different things. Mine cart are supposed to be for mining and maybe getting somewhere nearby your house that you go to a lot. Horses are for exploring and getting to places you’ve already been to. The stubborn thing is more of a problem that gets way more hate than it should. Horses almost never get stubborn. I’ve played a world over 670 days in cruel and I’ve only had one stubborn horse. However, donkeys are awful. The big problem with minecarts is they are almost useless. They can be fun in creative, but in survival they are only good for making stuff automatic. They are really expensive too. Mobs love getting on rails which is another problem.
With SC I’m mostly referring to MCPE and as far as I know, it does not have horses. I am also not sure is MC PC has them without mods.
SurvivalCraft Eminem, you are right about mine carts is best for creative. But they are extremely handie in creative. What I have done, is to create a huge rail system and then play in Survival mode. I also lifted the rails from the ground so that I can avoid creepers. But even when creepers do get on them, they usually do not explode. Anyway, I do not like the unrealistic monsters in MC. I don’t even like the werewolves in SC.
Horses are still a bit combersome for me. It would help if Kaalus made 3 block high doors so that we can easily ride into safety. I have used normal door with gates at the top. Gates alone are not enough, since tigers jump over them.
Not shotguns or revolvers. That will make the game inappropriate for kids.
Why there is a gun in the game and bombs and machetes and bows and Spears and all kind of weapons why not one more?
The existing weapons are more appropriate than the the modern guns.
Flint lock hand guns were some of the first guns made…
Or are you to young?
No, I am 15. There are little kids playing this game.
Im 16 and a Revolver would be good! And a metod to load fast er
I do respect you opinion though.
Your*
But weve already got guns and bombs, plus its not like the game has blood, right?
The only gun is musket. Bombs are fine.
Eu acho estas ideias pessimas iria deixar o johos muito mal nao ia ficar bom e o suvivalcraft nao quer um jogo de shotter mas de survival mais realista possivel
I’m going to safly assume he’s either adding something we asked for or he hit a snag in the code.. he said he was almoat done.. just integrating it with community content.. but its been too long for just that.. seems like hes adding something.. and thats why its taking so long.. Kaalus.. can we get a confirmation?
Multiplayer? ? ? I mean it is 1.30 I suppose
A thousand times, NO!
that was a joke lol and why you hate multiplayer :( everyone like multiplayer
. .
, ‘,

You guys ‘might’ see a working LAN sometime.. I sadly, it seems, will die of old age. :P
The almost official seal of the dedicated miner! :-D
Coal block my favorite block to mine :D
Nice!
Very good
Maybe next you could add painted wires through blocks. Please.
Hey Kaalus :)
I’ve been playing your game since the earliest patches of survivalcraft and have been a n avid fan until today. I just want to ask you if you have plans with including NPCs to your game. Like the Minecraft counterpart–villagers– survivalcraft’s NPCs will be either hostile and non-hostile (you can call them natives or something totally different if you want :3). Like I said before, I’m a huge fan of your work and will be loving the updates to come. Cheers mate xx
I love this – it will improve not only creative builds but also the use of electricity in survival, challenging and cruel. I also love the idea of the wire through corners that people have brought up, that is something I suggested on the forum ages ago. Switching the placement of one wire and one granite, wood, basalt block could create the difference and allow for similar resource usage. Placement could be accomplished in the same fashion as stairs – with regard to directionality. To me the different color wires and wire through corners were the last two items that prevented non creative play from being able to fully take advantage of electricity. By making these additions Kaalus improves the game greatly for creative, while also giving something of a icing on the cake for challenging, survival and cruel.
I was hoping to see a new post saying the new release is ready. Oh well.
Me too.
Everyone too.
Another update googleplay
But nothing special
I’m sure Kaalus is ironing out the kinks. This is going to be YUGE!
Love the Trump reference. Well put.
:D Come on Wisconsin!
OK my idea is that you could stack wires so they cross over causing for more compact circuits
If Survivalcraft is supposed to be realistic, why do you “drown” whenever you are tired, even if your head is above the water?
You would be coughing water in and out of your lungs.
He has a point.. If you were swimming too hard (at least how I was taught) you simply stop swimming and relax.. float alomg untill you catch your breath.. Then paddle along back to shore.. SC you die.. no taking it easy.. death to all evil swimmers! xD
Maybe the character doesn’t know how to swim so he cant do that/ doesn’t know about it
Yeah.. But my point is swimming has been a basic human practice since.. well no scientist has been able to put any date.. so.. forever.. lol
I mean you can also turn pants into a life jacket and float with no effort at all but I think he wants a challenge in the game
Thats just funny.. but seriously.. your lungs are inflatable and keep you afloat.. swimming just isn’t realistic.. and getting attacked in a boat is preposterous… we need iron boat.
You can’t float well enough to keep your head above the water without treading water or holding your breath in. Treading water can not be done indefinately because you will tire and drown. If you hold your breath then you will duck underneath when you exhale. Since you have been holding your breath you will try to breath in quickly resulting in inhalation of water which causes coughing. Coughing means your lungs empty, when they’re low enough you duck underwater and inhale more water until you drown.
Preposterous! You can’t “hold your breath” in real life!
@daisflaque said “…getting attacked in a boat is preposterous… we need iron boat”. I agree! I confess I gave myself one. I figure if the XML is accessible it’s meant to be edited :P
The real question is why can’t I swim for long and why can’t I be a world champion athlete?
People have pretty much stopped talking about weather or not to have colored wires connect. Can you just post something new already?
Dear Lord Kaalus, please add an electric igniter. It isn’t as destructive or explosive as an elec. det. It would light anything flammable on fire. You could also use electricity to perhaps expand/edit the range of ignition up to 4 blocks. I know people will LOVE this feature, so please add this! Btw. I grew up on this game, so I would like it to stay amazing.
This must be BIG.
Agreed. Not idly does kaalus go silent in the middle of an update.
Nice one lol
At this rate, my Pacman knockoff will be done sooner. ;)
Been a long wait, but what the heck – software takes time – EVEN when least expected. believe me after 17 years experience in the field i know. thankfuly working at a business intelligence manager nowadays so the nitty gritty programming issues are not with me everyday – but i still clearly remember those days … pushing to get some extra features in while dealing with code that just becomes stale by nature as you add more code to a project…
Kaalus, I don’t want to bother you but please show us what else you have planned for SC.
I think he is adding the feature having to do with the urchins he said he was not sure if he could get the feature in this update but he might be trying to get the feature into this update and that’s why it’s taking so long for him to post and as speculated by other people he might use urchins for ammunition for the blowgun but he could have completely different plans with the urchin or he might have multiple plans including the blow gun but you never know when it comes to kaalus
Hey Kaalus, you should put in a new electrical device called “Signal Node Input” and “Signal Node Output”. They do what you think they do :)
Hi there
While we are waiting for the new feature, I thought to post on this:
I have basically finished my first attempt at a texture pack, but I think it is really nice. I have created quite a few of my own textures. The logs I have created and optimised so that log cabins looks great. You can see an example with my world: My Log Cabin (you can find it in Real Animation as well). My Log Cabin is quite low down in community, since it was fairly recently added.
My texture name is Johan Real HD. It is about 42nd on the list last I checked. There is also a low quality version for slower phones. I am not sure if it is needed to have two seperate versions.
Here is my texture pack if you want it directly:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5l6aasxtuahuixy/Johan%20Real%20HD%201.29.pdn?dl=1
Please let me know what you think.
Sorry, Wrong Link:
Awesome texture, man! I downloaded it and it looks super!
I still want to make a few changes. You are welcome to give recommendations.
By the way, I have replaced many of the electronic components with paintings. The mineral blocks are made to be used as floor and wall tiles. The wood texture is my favourite. If you want it customized, let me know and I’ll try to help. I am still not sure if the coloured lead glass works. I have previously used one with a cross in. Some old textures here are now redundent, but I just left them there. The top of the oven texture is no longer used for instance. Actiually it is a bit sad.
This is still a work in progress.
I see that the most of the people like the Minecraft textures. Why is that? Is it because people want SC to be like MC? Personally I find it extremely boring and low quality – that is the original MC texture. People also like funy textures or old looking textures. As you can see I like it to be a bit more modern and nice looking, closer to real life. This I suppose is more for creative, but I use it in both.
People like the Minecraft Texture only because it’s popular…
It doesn’t matter how is Good or Bad a Block Texture, if the Block Texture contains “Minecraft” in the Name, people will rate it 5 Star regardless of the Quality
You are probably right.
Wow. I’ve edited a couple of texture packs but nothing this elaborate. Very well done. I’ll give it a try.
Thanks!
I love the you used paintings to represent some of the electrical comments. Very clever to have more than 1 use for some items.
colored wires is a quite good feature. nice idea!
I think it would be great if the painted wires aren`t in “PAINTED” ,
but the category “PAINTED” should be removed and replaced by something like an down arrow
at each block which can be painted. You should be able to choose which colour of a block you want to
use in creative.
colored wires is a really nice feature
Kaalus is there a chance we can have sepaate textures for log cores as well as a texture for a stove top on the oven. Please also include something like sulpher, salpeter, rye etc. blocks. It just give us extra textures to work with when we create custom textures. i have created tiles from diamond, iron etc. but want at least one more. My boy keeps on asking for red tile blocks. I can use something like limestone, but i would rather keep uncrafted items fairly standard.
This should not be a lot of coding to do this. We can even help with the textures if you want.
Ha?
Pretty impressive. By the way, do you have any suggestions for trying to survive in cruel mode? I find it pretty hard to go any good length of time without dying at least once. Maybe I am just not experienced?
First off how many days do you survive on average in one cruel world
I’ve actually been in this cruel world for fourty seven years and fortunately I haven’t respawned yet…
“fourty seven years” ???
47×365=17 155 days (seventeen-tousands one hundred fifty-five)
So, look at this, (i found my old microsdcard, and i found some SCmaps backup):
So your just dead
That’s deep
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fx0rtwz49oypwgl/Tonnold.scworld
sorry…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qet8mr1m418d96e/Tonnoldy.scworld?dl=0
Dang! The longest I have survived was 102 days.
How?
I lived in a tree. Then lightning struck the tree and it burnt down while I was sleeping.
I don’t actually believe the second one. That would be about 333.76 days real life time. I think you screwed around with the coding.
You would literally have to have about no life to get that far. Assuming you started that world the day Survivalcraft came out (which we all know more than likely you didn’t) you would’ve had to play about 78.53 days real time every year.
About 22% of the last 4(1/4) years would be playing survivalcraft.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fx0rtwz49oypwgl/Tonnold.scworld
ooops
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qet8mr1m418d96e/Tonnoldy.scworld?dl=1
I still find that extremely hard to believe. Such a long time and so little was actually done in the world.
Root your phone (Kingo Root)
In TotalCommander got to Filesystem root/data/data/com.candyrufusgames.survivalcraft/files/Worlds
Here you will see your worlds what you’re playing
Open one and copy somewhere the “Project.xml” file
Open the copied project.xml file with TotalCommander’s own editor
In the file you can see, where you were, where you are, what are in your inventory, what are in your chests etcetc
And you can see the description of the world
First, you must identify your world. Search for the name.
You can see the TotalElapsedTime.
You can try numbers.
Huge numbers means huge days ina the game.
And you can disable the weather.
You can modify the gametype and he time of day (day, sunset, sunrise etc etc).
You can disable the adventure survival mechanics (asm). This means, if the game is Cruel, and the asm is disabled, in the game you wont be hungry and the temperature does not “hurt”you.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Idk if you heard my problem but I wanted to change one of my cruel worlds into challenging in the fear of dying. So thanks
You don’t need to root. You can get it by extracting a scworld file renamed to .zip.
You actually first need to upload it to sd card and then go to Survivalcraft folder. With Total Commander you do not need to rename it. You can just click on it.
What app should I use on windows 10 to do this?
Total Commander is originally a Windows program, so just use it. On mobile I cannot help you.
Last year Kaalus posted in April and we didn’t hear another word until December. Could we be in for another hiatus?
yes…
He did that after an update not dead center before a big reveal.
I think it is a great idea to not have wires connect because I found it really annoying that both MC’s redstone and SC’s wires would always connect when they were put next to each other. I always used the project red mod to get colored wires in MC, and I’m glad that I won’t have to mod SC to get wires that didn’t always connect. Next we need bundled cables!
Great idea to put colored wires can you put smoke effect when the water are falling down
Like in falls
Kaalus can you add wireless devices and a terminal or a control device to communicate with it
Like
Terminal (B1)—wireless signal ——–w.device (B1)
Terminal (B2)—wireless signal ——–w.device (B2)
The same signal name and same terminal name will only communicate
Terminal (B2)–×–wireless signal —-×—-w.device (B1)
Add abandoned or destroyed villages
There’s a tombstone that means there were people living there but died
Alright Kaalus.. Its my birthday now.. this means its been at least 2 months since you said the update is comeing.. Can you please give us an update on your progress? like en eta? even if you say another 2 months.. at least we have something to wait for…
Happy late birthday
Thx :D
This explosive lightning is insane it obliterated my marble house and shattered my glass ceiling I feel we should have some sort of upgrading machine for blocks to make them more durable against explosions or straight up turn the explosive power of lightning down a bit
I once had a tree house that was 50 blocks vertical and covered 320 blocks square horizontal. After I got far enough I made a fire prevention system with electric detonators and glass blocks. The system saved my house.
Update out guys
1.29 is out guys! Thank you Kaalus!
…wait..
1.29 has been out for ages.
Lol
When will the new update come out?
I think it’s cool and all that we can summon lightning strikes but I wish we could control where the Lightning actually struck
You can make towers, or lightning rods, it will most likely hit something tall
Yeah but I want to go on a killing spree or rampage striking everything with lightning. It would be cool to just touch my finger where I want the Lightning to go and have the Lightning actually strike there
It’s about time for Kaalus to post! I’m becoming very inpatient!
Here is a small feature that should be easy to add. When a world is generated with a random seed, it should show the seed in the world edit menu, just like as if a custom seed were used.
It actually does.
He said random seed. It only shows seeds that you typed.
So it actually doesn’t.
Hey hope that at some future can aver and colored glass blocks that already have cable outlet on all sides , would be very useful … Greetings from mexico
Kaalus is dead again. I will come back in december again. When 1.30 is out ;)
yea he prob. is time to take another 6 month break
Hey guys (and girls).
We need to relax a bit. As far as I understand, Kaalus has made his money from SC and is quite well off. He does not really need more sales, although it would be nice. I might be wrong on this, but SC has become more of a hobby now. If he does anything new for us, it is actually a bonus. This could eventually kill SC, but let’s hope his love for his game is strong enough. Then there is the drive to outdo MC just because he can.
What am I saying? Be gentle and if you (us) frustrate him enough, he might just drop the whole thing and go on a cruze with his kids and just enjoy life.
Maybe Kaalus just needed another break or maybe one of his kids is a bit ill. Let’s not be nasty with him please. Enjoy the day.
Gez Kaalus we have been waiting 15 days for s post already…
Hello. still waiting for kaalus
Oh, can you use HTML tags here?
Apparently, yes
They’re only being impatient like humans are. But they could put a little more restraint on their impatience…
You’re not human?
Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen!
+1
Amen for the last part. Just remember that Easter is actually a pagan feastival in honour to the goddess Ishtar. The calender was even changed by the pope to accomodate it. Just for interest sake.
I’ve never heard of a bigger pile of crap.. Easter was invented to give praise to Jesus’s rising from the tomb.. Never was even a thought in anyone mind at that time of “pagan” anything.. It was all about God at that stage in humanity.. Paganism was all but abolished by roman authorities.. Where the heck you get Ishtar? hahaha
I should not have posted it here, since this is not the place for it. I’ll just leave you with this last comment about it. The word Easter can nowhere be found in the Bible, it was derived from the godess Ishtar. This you research fot yourself. The Biblical word can be seen as “peshach” and can be seen in other languages like “Paas” (Afrikaans and dutch). I’ll not post stuff like this again. If you want to take this further, rather contact me personally. This was just meant as a quick comment, but turned out different. Sorry for that.
Technically, there are many theories of whee the word easter came from. Some say it’s the Anglo-Saxon Goddess for spring.
Well yes, Spring notifies the beginning of the mating season. Ishtar was the fertility godess in the Babilonian belief system.
OK, you are correct. I just checked it out.
And yes, the name Easter is pagan, but not the date. (unlike christmas, which is the opposite.)
Sorry for being rude.. I did just google that.. There may be some credence to what you’ve said. But the I celebrate Easter as a way to give praise to His resurrection. Nothing to do with Paganism. It really boils down to what you yourself want out of the event. Again sorry for being a butt.
happy easter!
A bit late… Happy Easter!
I’m late*
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++5000000000000
I’ll be waiting kaalus let us be patient for the next update
Yes I can make my house have easier and smaller wires all I need is red green blue and white to make it fit in my house is my real house I made it in survivalcraft #best update ever
There my google+ is working I like to use Google plus on this but it was not working but now it is can we get a look at the letter in a post u did
Ho Hum. Even a minor communication would be an indication of activity.
I wonder if he’s going to post one video for this update.
Hey Kaalus, a cool feature I would like is grass and snow taking up the same place. Snow biomes look kinda odd with random squares taken out beside the tall grass. Could you make them occupy the same block like the sea urchins and water?
Nice idea! That would be a great improvement.
or just not have tall grass in a snow biome. Like realistically if there is an area with snow every day of the year it is not likely to have grass at all.
It depends where you are at really. Depends how deep the snow is.
I’m pretty sure that kaalus will post before we get to 400 comments[i](which most likely means today)[/i]
well that ship sailed.
Hey guys, I know you don’t like it when people advertise, but I just started up by blog again. Feel free to check me out, zakthegamerdude.wordpress.com
That’s my new sports blog, if you want to see my survivalcraft related blog, that’s zakthegamerdude2014.wordpress.com
Ahhhhhhh!!!! I’m soooo impatient!!!!!
This is pathetic… Kaalus.. come on man.. You could at LEAST give us an update on your progress man!
Leaving us like this is not cool man..
If I’m updating one of my roms.. I dont say crap until I know for sure I have a relese date..
You just filled these kids with hope.. and disappear for months at a time.. WTF
Not trying to be rude.. Just in my opinion.. (especially with 90% kids for customers) no dev should give hope and dissapear.. Its kids man.. Give em a progress update bro. It’s the right thing to do.. even if you have to say 2 more months.. at least they KNOW. lol
Yeah, just kids that need to learn everything doesn’t go their way. Sometimes things don’t work out for the better
No one said anything about things going their way.. I’m just trying to give Kaalus some advise.. If he want’s his game to succeed then giving false hope to the few customer’s that actually care enough to be here… is bad for business.
He wasn’t giving false hope. He does this every update, so I think even the dullest of kids will catch on to this pattern. Like Miyamoto always said “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.” This can apply to updates for the most part. It won’t be ruined forever, but he would have to use just as much time fixing the issues.
As has been noted earlier in this thread, Kaalus has done very nicely already. He probably doesn’t need to keep improving the game to live comfortably. He does it because he enjoys it, or to make even more money, or for the sake of his fans. In case the latter is the only reason left, let’s not be impatient and rude. Yes, it personally annoys me as well, but talking down to him is not going to help.
Kaalus already finished poison,blowguns,urchinbombs,alpacas.and all that urchin stuff but his computer caught stationary fire and is now heroically fighting his evil computer that burns forever and right now kaalus as i type kaalus is fighting his computer so he can give us an update on the game and probably show us the evaporized computer along with the post.
I don’t think I have heard the truth stated any better than you have good sir.
That was funny
Let us be patient okay
kaalus you are alive :v
Okay whoever can offer me 2 full stacks of iron and a decent amount of diamonds i will give them a working movie theater in multiplayer no scam.
Wait a minute……..
Does anyone remember ,,ios user woes” or ,,galaxy note 4 crashes”? This is the same type of post… Kaalus. Please release 1.30 then you can take a break if you want or just give us another post…
I don’t think it is nearly that bad yet. Right now it is only as bad as the “Pelagic Creatures” post.
Maybe he is trying to do some bug testing on his own so he can give us a full not totally buggy version on the full version of survival craft or mabey he is making a new type of trap since it is April fools currently…..
Hello
Hello World Kaalus hasn’t posted
You guys should check out pcjs.org. It is an online IBM PC emulator written in javascript(My programming language of choice[I did not create pcJS])
Dang.
It’s been 20 days since your last post we are getting just a little impatient to say the least!
How will this new update be useful for survivalists
My survivalcraft updated to 1.30 !!!!
April fool ( in advance for some;-)
WordPress doesn’t allow to enter blank lines betwen sentences:'(
You can. Just hold down shift and press enter.
On mobile (I use Opera) you can just press enter.
Wow… This update sounds like it’s going to be pretty cool!
Zzz Zzz Zzz…
LAST TIME ON SURVIVAL CRAFT Z KAALUS WAS STILL MISSING AND STILL HASN’T POSTED ABOUT ANYTHING.THE SURVIVORS CRAFTED KAALUS’S PRIDE AND JOY THE BOMB AND USED IT TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE ISLAND. WILL KAALUS EVER COME BACK? AND WILL THE SURVIVORS FIND A NEW HOME? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON SURVIVAL CRAFT Z!
Nice dragon ball z reference
Nice
屌你老母
Well that is not necessary and extremely inappropriate :(
Alright that’s it. Kaalus is dead. Don’t expect to be seeing any more comments from me until 1.30 is out. Which may be never if Kaalus really is dead. Which he’s usually not.
I (and several others) just got an email from Kaalus with a 1.30 dev build. He said not to give away the new feature, but I know that everybody will love it when the release of 1.30 comes. I’m not allowed to give copies of the APK to other people, but he said in the email that 1.30 will be released sometime in April, if no new major bugs are encountered. I hope you will enjoy the new feature as much as I did when 1.30 is out!
**April Fools**
Yes, april fools. I have no idea when 1.30 is released, what the new feature is, or if it’s even worth waiting for. Nobody else got a dev build either.
u lil s.o.b, got me there for a second lol
If only!! Nice prank ;)
I’ve spent way too long in one giant build so now I dream in Survivalcraft. Just me?
What is the longest amount of time Kaalus has gone without posting after teasing a major update? It only takes a minute or two to post “Still working!” so I really hope he is okay, not sick or experiencing some kind of life tragedy. Best wishes, Kaalus! ~ Impatient but happy fan 😄
Honestly I think this is the longest he’s ever left during a major update
Hi guys. This is the bad side of having a single developer, but there are many upsides.
The downside is that all responsability comes down on one guys head. If he gets ill or has a crisis, the project stalls. I’ve seen people swearing and going on like babies. This is really not okay. I am also eager to see the new update, but please have grace on this guy. You do not own him! You have paid for a game that is exceptionally functional and Kaalus ows nobody nothing. The only thing you might be able to do, is to make Kaalus lose motiviation to follow through. He already said that his previous silent time was because of burnout. This might be it again and swearing will never help this situation any bit. It is extremely immature!
Kaalus, please do not not allow these immature persons affect you in any way. When the update comes, it will come.
I wasn’t going on about how he owes us anything. I agree he doesn’t have to work on it at all. You took these comments out of proportion. He asked a question I answered it. Neither of us trashed him. Maybe take that anger and direct it somewhere useful like the people yelling about how Kaalus took the money and ran. They are people who need to hear this not us. I think you are a little touchy.
I used your comment as a spring board and wasn’t meant only at you. Sorry if I offended you. The guys that used such bad language was terrible, but I did not want to go and search for all of them. Your comment was just part of a long line of comments.
Before you said your long comment there was only two comments in this chain and neither of us were complaining.
There was a guy who used the f word a lot. There was also a guy who said in Chinese.
What is the longest amount of time Kaalus has been “dead”?
6 months if I am correct.
Pretty much. It was actually 7 and a bit.
Yeah I remember that time he was inactive on updates for Survivalcraft. There was an outbreak of innapropriate worlds and Survivalcraft was just bad for those 6 Months… But I do not think he has bailed out in the middle of an update before? This is getting very very strange ussually Kaalus posts every 3-2 days but hes not posted in 23 days and hes in the middle of the best update to hit Survivalcraft… I guess we just have to be patient.
colored wires is a really nice feature.
it would be nice wether the colored wires are not in the PAINTED directory.
instead all painted blocks schould be at the prevailing block with a down arrow, that you can tap on it and
you can choose the prevailing block with diiferent colours.
i hope you understand what i mean.
it should be just like on a keyboard for a mobile phone.
you tap and hold selecting the colour as a reason
Guys… I know… I know it sounds bad… but… I believe Kaalus… Kaalus… has been murdered… I mean he usually dosnt bail out on n update like this… he hasnt posted in 23 days…well Survivalcraft has ended… or he just has gotten tired of working on 1.30… I do not know anymore…
he has gone silent for 7 months before.
He has never been out this long during an update though without a heads up anyways, but I doubt he has been murdered.
me too.
Weird question, but does Kaalus live in Belgium? I’m a mom, I worry, it’s my job ;)
As far as I know, he lives in Poland. But he did say that he went on a short trip. Now I am also a bit worried.
He lives in England, I think. It has a ‘Developer address’ on the Google Play Store page.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.candyrufusgames.survivalcraft
Scroll down to the bottom
I also think England, because sometimes when I’m bored I check this blog every 5-10 minutes, and one time there came a new post wile I was doing this and it said that he posted it an houre ago! And I live in Holland and it’s always one houre later in Holland than in England.
The UK is on BST (British Summer Time) at the moment making the time UTC +1. If Holland has summer time you’re an hour ahead. Otherwise it’s equal (during BST).
I know a bit of old norse. I know your name means bear. Cool.
:D
well guys, its been fun. Time to pack up and find a new game, I guess.
I’ve waited six months and expected him to do one update, then be done. Or else he was dead. He never would quit right now, and he even said some of his stuff may wait for next update, meaning 1.31 may come back to back. Try not to give up.
Yes, cause I’ve deleted Survivalcraft, it’ll hopefully be back to try the update, I do this always.
I mean this is insane. How long does it take to post something on Twitter or on the Blog? It doesn’t take any time at all. :/
For that reason some of us are quite worried about Kaalus. Something must have happened.
Johan Steyn, I want to know how do you make your own texture packs? And make them look realistic? Do you draw them?!! Please tell me how, your texture pack looks artistic. I want to make my own one.
My post disappeared.
I’ll have to repost. Here is an example: I’ve used this tree for my birch texture:
I use paint.net. Select an perfect sqaure area for your texture. You can see the size on the bottom left at bounding rectangle size. You then must go to image and select crop to selection. You then need to resize it at image resize. Choose best quality and choose 64×64. Uncheck “keep aspect ration” then it is ok if it not perfectly square. Click ok.
This is what I got:
Click on Crtl-A to select all and click Ctrl-C to copy texture. Now create a black new canvas of say 512×512 to work in. Paste you texture a few times and place them in line to make a tree or whatever seemless texture. You’ll notice a line between the blocks that is not seemless. Now use the clone tool to get rid of this line, by cloning other parts of the tree onto the line. Ctrl-click above the area you see marked to use as a reference point. Then click on the line are and it will overwrite it with the cloned data. When you have finished, copy the botom of the one block onto your other block, so that both ends are modified. Before you begin, place a block next to your “tree” so that you will know exactly where the block ends and begins.
You can now select the finished block and copy to wherever.
To chanche the colours, use Adjustments, curves. Use the RGB settings for everything.
I hope this is not to confusing.
I’ve tried to post, but the post is not going through. Can I send it directly to you?

What is the name of your texture pack? I’d like to download ig
Johan Real HD
It is on community content. I think it is about 48th.
Please let me if you like it and also if you want me to change some things. I’m not 100% finished with it, but am taking a break like Kaalus is doing. I do think however that it is a great texture.
He might got cold, spring allergy, sick, or busy? Hope he get better other reasons could be because he had to visit someone in his family or… I’m unfortunately going to play minecraft PC for the rest of the months until Kaalus is done
A change this big will strongly effect how people build their worlds. I’m working on an adventure map and a large city. If I keep working on it I might find this new update causes me to go back and rework a great part of it. I don’t think I’m the only one in this situation. This essentially means I can’t play the game at all until the new update comes out. I hate doing things over again.
I could still play purely survival of course. Some kind of message would be great.
There is a big problem with wordpress and using a gmail address to follow or to see replies to posts. I am following Kaalus with two email addresses, mainly because I’m struggling so many times with gmail in wordpress. On my standard email address, every single post comes through, yet on gmail, it only comes through now and again. Of the post I made about the textures map creation, only the last post came through. So rather use other email address if you want to follow Kaalus properly.
By regular I mean I actually use Facebook log in.
But how do you put the texture to sc?
When you finished with texture, you must upload it to dropbox and then share the link. You must then copy that link and dowload it “from link.”
Ok, I think I understand your problem. Do you know what a texture map is? That is the png file with all the textures on it. I have posted mine earlier. You need to paste your modified texture into the texture map png file using paint.net. After you have edited that file, you need to upload it to drop box. That link must then be copied. Do that on your device with SC on it. After have copied the link to your clip board, run SC. Go to where you can download content and choose ‘from link. ‘ Paste the link by long press and choose paste. Just remember to change the last zero to a 1 and this will download the texture. You can do the same if you want to upload it to community content.
Is that what you wanted to know? Do you know how to copy the link from drop box?
Don’t you use Texture creator for SC? Or… Something? Easier
Not as far as I know.
Thanks, I currently starting to finish the terrain category texturized by me, then hopefully all the rest : )
But the problem was I didn’t know how to use the clone stempel method you use
Do you understand how it works now?
Great post Kaalus! Colored wires are a great idea!
Well someone is late….
hehehhehehehehehehe
I was being sarcastic.
Well, I can defiantly assure you all Kaalus is not dead (And yes I realize It’s a joke :)) I may not accurately predict what he’s doing but I’am guessing he’s living his life and taking time smoothening out bugs in the programming which (Trust me) can be proven difficult at times. Another prediction is he’s “scheduling”
Kaalus im actually begging you, we don’t need coloured wires, we need village(r)s and multiplayer, take on one of these projects- this is what the game needs. Whenever you have time, but this is what you need to focus on mate
Kaalus im actually begging you.. we don’t need coloured wires, we need village(r)s and multiplayer. There’s rush people are more prepared to wait but you have to stop beating around the bush and focus on one of those two projects i mentioned!
Hmm. His house doesn’t seem very nice, it it’s even his real address. Having done the math, I know he should be able to afford a much nicer house, not a level apartment in a housing complex.
Dude that’s creepy, spying on people’s houses
28 days might seem like a lot, but look at the time between “Galaxy Note 4 Crashes” (https://kaalus.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/galaxy-note-4-crashes/) and “1.28 is coming” (https://kaalus.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/galaxy-note-4-crashes/). that’s about 8 months, so, compared to that, 28 days is nothing!
For some reason it didn’t copy the “1.28 is coming” link so I’ll post it again: https://kaalus.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/1-28-is-coming/
I think the feature kaalus Is adding about mini blocks is failing…. Who knows? I think he has to buy a bug spray! Lol!
Get it?
No
Bug=glitch
Somebody said that Kaalus is for sure not really dead. Do you personally know Kaalus to verify this? Some think this to be a real possibility.
Well, no I “personally” don’t know him but I can definitely tell you he’s not dead
To be honest I don’t even remember his last name but I know his first name is Igor and like kala something
Oh now I remember it’s kalicinski
Igor Kalicinski, it’s all over the place on the web. No social media presence however. Anyway, you can’t ‘definitely’ say he’s not dead if you don’t know him. It’s just extremely unlikely.
Hay kaalus!
Can I use your candy logo for this?
On a T-shirt?
Survivalcraft nees piston
Survivalcraft need pistons
Not long ago Kaalus said “And remember how excited I was about it a week or two ago? It’s better now :-)”. So I don’t think he’s become bored or disillusioned. Of course he isn’t dead, that’s just silly. However, as Sherlock Homes said, After you remove the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how unlikely, must be the truth.
Hay Kaalus, are you going to make dogs that you can train?
Ok we are ready for a new post now
Please
It’s been so long
no dip
deberia poner indios porfavor kaalus
I bet that Kaalus have met some issues while was developing the “New Feature”… This could probably explain this “1 Month of Silence”…
We know that Kaalus post something new only when he had done something of new, so… I don’t think that we should be Worried…
Heck, will color wires ever become a “thing” in SC?
I hope so…
In a sense the coloured wires might even be a bigger feature than custome blocks, when it comes to electronics.
Yeah… I’ve underestimated the potential of the colored wires…
Any of you want to bet he posts by summer time? (of this year)
I bet that he’ll post before the end of May…
I’m right there with you
He posted next week
wha?
Erm, what do you mean are you from the future? Lol
Guys remember back when he first announced clothing. He was in the middle of the update and disappeared for over a month the same for the new explosion engine. He still has a while to go before we assume the worst
This gave me relief thanks :)
This gave me relief thanks :).
Seriously Kaalus it’s been a month since you last posted, please hurry up and post even if it’s not the update, at least let people know that you’re still around!
Kaalus will be back. He doesn’t have to spend all his time on the update. Kaalus has a life too, don’t expect him to always be working on this game.
He has a life?? How dare he!
lol
Out of the 3 years I have played SC I do not think he has bailed on such a serios update before…
Clothing update
Yeah I remember that but I think 1.30 has a bigger feature than clothing… but yeah clothing was a very big step into Survival Craft
when comes the next post and the update?
No body know other than Kaalus (and quite possibly his kids) know
Wires on inside corners would be nice :-)
Haha I think IOS users have had plenty of screenshot contest time. We can move on.
(I’m joking don’t be offended)
Lol I agree :). The day that the contest started I was able to upload my screen shot because I was on Android I did feel bad for IOS users though… My screenshot was of a sunset with very detailed re builds of the American Warships: USS Iowa, USS, Fletcher and USS Yorktown and a random medical ship. It took me 10 weeks to build everything but luckily it was finsihed when the screenshot contest started.
Finished*
Kaaaaaaalus!!!!
He’s dead. Again.
This is strangely long…
*One long and boring week later* Kaalus: I’m going to have to announce… I’ve stopped developing the game due to recent… events I’m sorry, but your tears are delicious. Everyone: RIOT RIOT FLIPPING RIOT HOLY POOP RIOT I CALL A RIOT Me: I will find you and I will give you a free bannana.
Drunk typing?
Nah, I doesn’t make enough sense to be drunk typing. ( :
*It*
Kaalus has temporarily cut himself off from the SC peepz.
He won’t let us know what he’s doing because he feels like if he does, then we will insult him or something.
So he waits until we lose interest in the next update. Then when he feels that we lost interest, he comes back and releases the update.
Yeah like that’s going to happen. 😕
Why would anyone insult him? Anyone who does insult him for anything he has ever done to this game, it’s not credible. Anyone who insults Kaalus purely for the reason that he doesn’t update his game for an extended duration of time is a disgrace to this world and is worthless. You paid for what you knew you were getting. You don’t go and pay for a game like this, thinking “Oh, I’ll just pay now and it’ll definitely get updated later”, so if you DID insult Kaalus, stfu and sit down, kid. We don’t want you here. And I’m sure Kaalus has heard or read over a thousand times that you want multiplayer. Stop it. Go play minecraft if you want multiplayer. Otherwise, shut up and wait ad quit beggin.
“stfu and sit down, kid.”
*sits down quietly*
2000 years later…
You guys tired of clan worlds clogging up community content? Me too! Here’s the solution, someone made a website for the clan world people. Tap on my name for the link. Pleas help me take back community content! #TakeBackCommunityContent
hey it would be very nice if the dispenser and the furnace had have the same collector function as a chest.
in a result you would be able to build stuff like an itemlift, which collects items and lift them up in a chest in your house.
+1
+1 x a lot.
You could make item tubes that carry items from a mining facility or farm to a chest in your house or a storage room.
Kaalus HAD TO OF DIED!
You guys who say kaalus died as if it is a proven fact will be very embarrassed when he posts again.
You need to not be so exaggerated and dramatic.
Yup, they’ll be soooooo embarrassed by a few ppl he doesn’t even know except online. You wanna put some money on that?
It’s been a month and 11 days… I know he did this on the clothing update but I don’t know why but this seems way more strange than when he bailed on the clothing update.
How? You just said that you know that he did this on the clothing update.
If this seems to be the same scenario, what makes this one strange?
You should notice that the comment section is not for drama.
I am having a problem viewing the world’s I posted on community content. I know that the maximum number of world’s that you can post at once is five, but I have only seen one of those five uploaded to community content. The other three were posted two weeks ago, but this last one was posted today. Is there another way to view what world’s have been posted?
It’s very clear, possibly he could have RIP. You know what I mean. I’m very sure, 67% in exact.
Agh!! I’m 100% sure the sculpting update is an epic fail! Trust me! There’s no way it’ll be out.
Why 3 months?
BTW kaalus would tell us that the development for sculpting has canceled or tell us that everything is good, or bad. Or he’s nearly done like he usually does in close update realeses, other than that the only possibility is that something must have stopped him from working or he’s no longer working now. So there must be something and these are the reasons.
He’s not dead.
I’m with you, Colby … 👍
me too?
Thanks.
I’m also not dead, so that makes two of us.
…or maybe I am. Maybe this is a robot version of myself.
It isn’t; I’m alive.
LOL (:
He is probably adding multiplayer and this is him punishing you for thinking it was so easy.
Can we please stop with freaking multiplayer… He said he’ll add it once single player is done and if so he’ll announce it before he works on it.
I don’t think you’re getting the point. I am not saying I want him to add multiplayer. I am saying that kaalus is trying to prove a point.
This is something else…..
Please give us the update! I’m dying over here.
I think Kaalus is taking so long because he’s actually recreated a real SC by his house, and he’s playing it real-life to work out the kinks. Yah Kaalus!
Kaalus is working in a big update and now need wait
Or may be… May be Kaalus is working on another business because Survivalcraft doesn’t provide enough money (or this other business is very interesting). And, as i do, when he is working on something, his other projects disapear from his mind.
That is highly unlikely, at least for the reasons you suggest.
On Amazon, the game came in second in number of downloads.
That means it had to have a minimum of several thousand downloads.
If each download is $4 per download then Kaalus is making very good money, and that is on Amazon only.
So sorry for my intrusion into your personal finances Kaalus but I’m glad you’ve done so well with the game. :)
I made my opinion on the iPad sales. I might be wrong and i prefer that.
Kaalus has made $1,000,000 +
On android alone, the full version has between 500,000 and 1,000,000 downloads. At $4.00 US each, that is 2 – 4 million. Add the other platforms in, and that’s likely about a million a year. Unlikely he’d give up on his cash cow in the middle of an update… Something personally important came up.
I’m wrong very often, but this time may be my record :)
Kaalus is a mutha-f***in genius. I just typed what we were all thinking. Get off my back.
Does anyone read the “No swearing please” above the comment box? :(
Let’s keep this a clean site.
Please be respectful.
@brythok shut up.
Be patient. He has put a ton of work into this game already, but you guys are acting as if you don’t care, the only thing you are concerned about is the update. Be content with what you have. There are thousands of possible reasons why he isn’t posting right now. He will post when he is ready.
This is ridiculous how long does it take to post? Why keep us waiting for months? Obviously you not post for a while, I get that you may be in busy but why do you have tendencies to just abandon something then come back a while later? Do you care about the plethora of people who payed cash for your game? Even a small post would be nice were not asking you to build a rocket ship I mean if this is the biggest update in your games history why just leave us waiting like you did last year. this is poor practice
I noticed a bug that’s been in the game for quite awhile now, that effects iPads in particular. When you look directly at the moon your FPS drops to like 30-40. I have iPad Air 2 running iOS 9.3.1, and I know this only effects iPads because my iPod 6 is uneffected.
Also my friends iPad Mini 2 is effected by this annoying glitch. However if you turn off Sky animation the moon dissapears. But it works 🙂
30-40 fps is good -_-
No, 200-300 fps is really good, 60-100 is about average
If you think 60 – 100 is average, you are playing on top quality devices. Try play on an iPad 1 or 2. \/
KAALUS THANK YOU, FOR YOUR KINDNESS
“I don’t have time to pore over this forever-”
-Kaalus
Atleast we know he IS coming back, it will be before forever.
Lol what music? Sounds nice.
exactly what Kaalus is doing right now. “Remember, I wont be back for you!” and he leaves us with this game as he sails away…
After the man, it will be only pineapple.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNN
Someone to tell me how to post a picture on this forum, please ?
You have upload you picture to Dropbox or any other online drive. Then you have to click share on for instance Dropbox. It will then give you a share link. You have to copy that link. Then in a new message you have to paste the link. Just one snag. The zero at the end of the link, must be changed to a 1. I hope this helps.
Sorry I missed it. You have already posted a pic.
My bad, i should have say i found the trick.
Thank you by the way.
He has retired, AGAIN
Maybe it’s like the clothing update and hes inactive again…
But, somebody in his family could have died and he dosn’t feel like working on SC at the moment.
Kaalus u r a smelly fuking dum cu.nt. FUK U BIC.TCH
fuking suck on my D1CK. U R A G.AY C.UNT. I hope that u get A1DS. FU.CK YOU
GO SU.CK ON A HUGE DI.CK AS.SHOLE… FU.CK YOU AND FU.CK SURVIVALCRAFT. CU.NT FACE NIG.GER
Everyone, if Kaalus is still here, he would remove this trash and probably ban my account. Let’s see if he does…
No WordPress will. You are such a …..
LOL SURE IS TAKING THEM A WHILE!
What a disgraceful way to prove a point.
Well, it sure is fu’cking working, isn’t it?
Can you actually read the words above this box? ‘Leave a Reply. No swearing please.’ I understand that you don’t mean it but you can not say those things.
I see one “No swearing please.” but an uncountable amount of “Kaalus post please.”
so I think that doesn’t matter
Tom is %100 right.
He is correct, I shouldn’t be swearing, but it sure is nice having the developer consistently giving up on my favourite game. I am doing this to see if he even checks his blog anymore but it seems he has quit that also.
I agree with Pili, for god’s sake, can people please refrain themselves from such faul language, just because internet anomynizes, does not mean we should say things we would not tell eachother face to face, please, have some decency.
Kaalus is a hard working man that have been working way too hard untill a burnout occured like he mentioned before, anyone who knows what a depression or burnout feels like can acknowledge how paralizing these things can be… (Including myself.)
People that cannot understand should at least keep an open mind.
We should not behave like little kids that keep whining and swearing when we don’t get enough candies…
Something like that is called “patiënce”…
When Kaalus needs to get a break, he needs to get a break, pushing himself beyond what is healthy is never a good thing, he is a person with feelings, not a robot, let’s treat him accordingly.
If we lose that what makes us human, all that remains are a bunch of apes, is that how we want to identifies ourselves? Because some comments show all that.
The game was never intended for permanent updates, those are all essentially freebies on the day we bought it, only serious bugfixes are
to take into consideration when updating, if people do not like the game, they should not have bought it, or at least played the demo.
Although some fear from people of losing Kaalus’s updates is understandable, but please, not everything always goes the way we want it, same thing goes for Kaalus, he did not ask for a burnout, he is equally stuck in this as well, he does not do this for bullying perposes.
Image any of us getting all of this fame, hundreds of emails, everyone to take into consideration, while coding the game around the clock, could we handle all of that alone?
There is only so much one person can do, the stuff that he did all by himself exceeds the stuff Mojang did with their entire foundation…
Anyway, like Mr. Resetti, (from ACWW) I am done with my rant, and here is a comic I (hastily) made. (For a quick giggle to cheer some people up again.)
Funny Comic! Not Recommended for Horse-Lovers but still good!
Thanks, next time, i’ll make something more animal-friendly. (-:
Nice comic, I am the guy and the horse is survivalcraft
Poor Survivalcraft…
Good comic lol
Thanks, I think I’ll make some more.
I’ve had this conversation with him before. He just don’t listen. :-/
And here an edited image of Survivalcraft:
The previous image was derived from my world “DutchShipYard” (Community content.)
Hey Kaalus can you give the musket either 2-3 times the durability it currently has for realism? I mean most guns can be used hundreds of times before degrading…plus iron is harder to find, making muskets almost not worth the time, plus the iron for the bullets.
fu.ck yes
I assume this was autocorrect’s fault and you intend to type ‘Yes, that would be an excellent idea.’
no, I intended to write ‘fu.ck yes’ because there is no Kaalus to stop me because he has given up again.
@Scruel you are being stupid for no reason. You should never result to swearing.
I have a reason. I am testing to see if Kaalus still checks his blog. Been a few days and he hasn’t taken down my trash that clearly brakes the rules. So I am being ‘stupid’ for a reason, as sh!t as it may be. Also, “never say never” -Justin Beiber, 2011.
You’ve got me to stop you again. :-/
;)
Well, if people swear then there will always be counter reactions… Or was that the intension in the first place… There was a name for such a poster…. Hmmm… Lol!
We can’t act like children just because Kaalus is silent. As many people have said wisely, he’s got a life too! And he has no obligation to post! He’s probably working really hard on the next update. He probably has had a very bad bug with he new feature or just a simple roadblock. He’s gonna return.
Yep.
I hope. But if he returns, it will only be an update or two before he leaves again.
He’s back. And thanks forgoing what i said you wouldn’t. You kept it “cool”, which is something I could not when i posted that comment.
ME TOO
My requests for 1.30 and later:
•NPC villages or tribes
•NPCs (obviously)
•Trading (copper, silver, gold could be main currency(
•Multiplayer (Not getting my hopes up)
•More generated structures (abandoned mineshafts, Abandoned farms)
•More musket durability
•Body temperature more effected by time of day (warm days, cold nights)
•Pistons
•Fancy Graphics switch
•More trees
•Thirst bar (saltwater and freshwater compatible)
•More variety with random seeds
•More crops (carrots, potatoes)
•Baby animals
•Obsidian
•More 3D textures
•Injury and sickness
•Medicine
•Non-fake blocks in negitive Coordinates
•Much larger biomes
•Possibly seasons
And that’s all I can say.
Eu acho que pintar os fios de outra cor e uma boa ideia pk se eu quero os fios no mesmo sentido nao pintaeos eles ligamse e se eu pintar um de uma cor e outro de outra nao se ligam e isso e muito bom para fazer criacoes
I agree with all except for obsidian(not really needed), medicine(too modern), Non fake blocks in negative coordinates (These’s no need to be in negative coordinates anyway) and larger biomes(maybe optional)
that’s if we can make it to 1.30 without Kaalus leaving all the time.
It says your just alone on the island
I Really miss kaalus now itso been such a long time
Wishlist
•Sail Boat or blocks that can float and I can build my ship from there.
•Multiplayer (we all wanna kill each other…)
•Wheat should drop 5-7 grains to be a better food source.
•More crops (carrots, potatoes, etc) and more dishes (Cake, pie, cheese, etc.)
•Baby animals, this would stop random spawning to a degree, and make cows/pigs a good food source.
•Ways to increase health, eating right, sleeping good, exercise, just one time random things.
•Smaller worlds, 100,000 blocks would take awhile to navigate.
•Much larger biomes, and lose snow biomes. (North and south Pole maybe?)
•Seasons, that would add challenge, every 30 days in game the season would changes.
Thank you Santa Kaalus~
You know, this could also be useful for making special “keys” for adventure maps!
Make the color of the wires change the color that 4-LEDs display! When using colored wires for the inputs of a digital to analog converter, connecting the DAC output to a 4-LED would change the color! Make the color of the wires customizable using things like RGB values so that you can get any color on the 4-LED!
