You may have noticed, a couple of days ago I submitted 2.1.14 to Google Play. The only difference from 2.1.13 is a fix for water flow direction bug introduced in one of the previous updates (water animation was flowing uphill).
Yesterday I also published the same build to all other platforms, to bring everyone up to date. The latest versions are:
- Google Play: 2.1.14 (in store)
- Amazon: 2.1.41 (in store)
- Windows 8.1/10: 2.1.23 (in store)
- Windows Phone 8.1/10: 2.1.33 (in store)
- iOS AppStore: 2.1.52 (still in certification)
These are all the same builds with the same feature set, so once they hit the stores, no one should be at a disadvantage.
Unless something catastrophic is discovered, I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.

600th comment!!!
KAALUS this is what people have asked of the furnitures, I know that I am somewhat intense but I think it is for a good cause
Things that are required in furniture.
1. that placing a semiconductor block on the crafting table with furniture, can not interact with the hand, only with electricity
2. As you know, the doors in survivalcraft are 2 blocks high, and it fulfills its function of “door”, a door of a single block would not be realistic, because the personage measures 2 blocks; So it happens with furnitures, for example, if we create a bed, it is unrealistic to place one part and then the other, it would be incredible a way to paste furnitures, then when we place it, for example the bed, and occupy two two blocks, And if we destroy the furniture, destroy the two glued ones.
3. There is something that is annoying, not only with furniture, but also with several blocks of the game, it is water, water is the great destroyer of everything in the game, slabs, furniture, electricity, steps, stairs, Leaves, etc .; Maybe the electricity if it is something that is destroyed with water, but the steps, or the furnitures, or the leaves should not have this, it is complicated and very when we have buckets of water in our hands, LITERALLY, we are afraid that accidentally We are riege and destroy everything, whether doors, fences or furnitures, and I AM 100% sure that a lot of people are bothered by this, not only furnitures, but also different objects,
4. I do not know if this is possible, but many people have asked: functions to the furniture, something that was that the furniture had states, with it could be made doors and hatches, also that could be combined with torches, this would Light to the furniture, we would like more features to the furniture, for example, if you place a furnace and a furniture (for example) in the crafting table, that the furniture has the capacity to burn things, or if it fuses with A machete or ax, cease to be a block and be converted into an item with those caption machete or ax, this would give the furniture more than a touch of decoration, we could even make fridges for food, who knows.
5. this is a request of mine, I would like the furniture to have a maximum of 16 states, why? If the previous point (4) is accepted, I would like to combine a furniture with 16 states with a 4-bit-counter, or with a battery, and that each state of the furniture is a voltage, so, we could decide which state We want furniture when we want it.
Thanks for reading kaalus and people, people who likes to idea please support.
Idk at all how to make furniture. If you don’t mind please email : xvicc@me.com. So you can teach me please
I would be more than happy to support you as well.
Do you still need help?
Yeah furniture is awesome, but I’m awesome too.
IDGAF
WTF??!!
Help me please! I want to download Survivalcraft Demo and when I tried back 2-3 months ago windows store just closed 1/8 of a second after opening! Is the app corrupt?

Last yall i think idk XD
I experienced a problem with my Xbox one controller when I go into a world my character spins in circles and I can’t get it to stop in till I disconnect the controller then it stops and I don’t know what to do (I’m using a Samsung Galaxy S8)
@Those people who cant wait for the next post: You could write in the meantime a proper wikipedia article. The One now is really short. And the fandom wiki is a good source… so write one! It would be sad if SURVIVALCRAFT was represented by this article. Just have a look at this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivalcraft and compare it to the minecraft ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft . Survivalcraft needs a better article than minecraft!
Agreed!
One thing I would really appreciate, and I’m sure other people have the same issue, is if you could change how lightning works. The trouble is that trees, and not just trees, but whole forests have been burned down to the ground after almost every thunderstorm. And what’s even more annoying is that these are forests that I planted to bring out the natural beauty of the landscape. Eventually I just decided not to repair them and wait for this to be fixed because it happens too frequently. So what I am proposing is that normal lighting bolts will not catch things on fire. There should be a incendiary lightning bolt that occurs rarely. A normal lighting bolt would simply create a small explosion like usual. And fire should not spread at all if it is raining. In a dry climate the fire could spread, but not in lush or wet or very cold places. This way the landscaping out in the front yard doesn’t have to be replaced every three days. Same goes for the street lights and such.
Agreed
True
Lightning is the most destructive force in the SC worlds! Something should be done about it and you have a good solution! Another one would be to have forests able to regrow after devastated.
I’ve even had a forest fire start while I was replanting it! Arrgh!
Yeah in nature when lightning hits forested trees it will create forest fire after that when it rains it slowly grows back into a forest
Apply some green basalt to the top of your trees, that should save them. I’m almost surprised … I thought trees would just be wood and more material for you all to consume.
What a ridiculous suggestion! Besides, basalt is NOT lightning-proof, anyway…
But stanimus it isn’t that ridiculous in my opinion…. I use basalt to protect electrical equipment from lightning in my challenging world. So why not protect the tops of trees with it. It makes sense, and I have never seen basalt break from lightning… dirt doesn’t even always break! Just imo
Yes, please.

?
Wrong send
I’m aorry for that
*Sorry*
I have just agreed with a person saying that the lightning is too powerful in SC, burning whole forests which is true. What’s wrong with that? Are you sure you have not sended that reply to me by mistake…?
It’s a mistake sorry Yell Ow I send it to the wrong person
Geez u are a bit sensitive it’s just a mistake or a test
Sorry, but I didn’t see your replies. For some reasons, you replies arrive with a very big delay to me. Sorry for the last reply… I just wanted to make sure your negative reply is a mistake, but I was in a bad mood and I reacted somehow negative… Again, sorry for that…
Good to hear. Have you been able to fix the Windows bug where the taskbar activates?
Yasss
You know, even if NPC’s aren’t added in the next update, I think that ruins would be cool. Perhaps like ancient temples or old abandoned cabins, stuff like that. I think it would go really well with the gravestones already in the game.
Yeah thatd be cool. An idea for NPCs and gravestones tho: what if future NPCs visit grave sights sometimes, making NPC interaction not too rare?
But only visiting graves would be illogical.
They should first have a shelter. Unlike minecraft where it’s a village and they work together, in Survivalcraft:
Red Indian hut (in low humidity plains), Jungle hut, Desert tent, Eskimo igloo or tents.
Remember the traps? Maybe for the each NPC inhabitants in the land had put the traps which means that closest traps are their property and they visit them every… two days? Or whatever to collect the loot or kill the animal.
For graves the NPCs add items in them when visit them? But visit them rarely? I don’t know.
Well, I hope theyre like classic indians with the head dresses and moccasins, and theyll live in their camp communites in tents, and hunt animals for survival.
Yeah, Kaalus should make a mechanic where it calculates how poor or rich you are depending on what’s in your inventory or what your wearing so they give you items, a place to sleep and hunt food for you if you’re close to death or your level is 1 or you don’t have valuable items in chests or in your inventory.
There should be some sort of way that they will trade with you if you have achieved a high level and give discounts to advanced players, but will only give items, a place to sleep and food for money or valuables.
No, I didnt think high level players should have an advantage. It should be a karma based system. If you attack indians frequently, they will refuse trade and maybe attack on sight. If your good to them and trade frequently, they will allow trading bigger items like weapons and armor.
They should, there isn’t much use to being high level and reach high levels is very difficult in Survival
Im level 17, and there is an incentive. Its being UNSTOPPABLE. I deal like double damage almost with weapons and im 1.5 times faster when I wear boots, and my food meter drops significantly slower and it helps a lot
You’re playing in harmless right?
Lol no, i play challenging
It’s kinda hard to believe, I’m sorry, but
Ok. Im not asking you to believe me, Im just tellin you the truth XD
Well, I don’t know but it’s not easy, even if you think it’s easy, I am not saying you’re lying just saying it’s kinda unsual, I played Survivalcraft for a long time, I don’t have to tell you that again. It’s becoming harder and more rewarding. But it’s not very believable to hear you saying it’s easy
Yes, it is not easy, but there are a couple of things that make it much easier. If you spawn in a snow world and the biomes are huge, you may just not make it.
1. Get wood and leaves. Leaves can be used as fuel and doors.
2. Make crafting table
3. Make wooden axe and get more wood (you can skip wooden axe)
4. Make wooden spade, pickaxe and machete. If you have enough wood, make a spear as well if birds are nearby.
5. If you have enough time, get some food. It is actually important to get some food on day one, but it is possible to survive without. Do not eat meat raw.
6. Dig a hole. If you are close to a mountain, dig into it or next to a cave. Use leaves as a door, but make sure the top is covered so rain won’t destroy it. Leaves have the advantage that you can see through them if there are animals outside. Do not try to build a shelter as some suggest. It is way too time consuming.
7. Get granite and make a furnace. Make charcoal and then make torches, about four is enough in the beginning. Cook food, but only eat if you have to.
8. Make stone weapons (machete and spear) as well as axe and spade. If you have enough wood, make a chest and put old weapons and extra wood in it that if you die you have something left. Only keep most essential, including sticks.
9. Sleep and next day get food, especially birds to make arrows. You also need to find coal as soon as you can. You need to practice to kill birds with spears though, but you can hit them at quite a distance.
For the rest I will not mention days and sleeping:
10. Look for a pool of water to begin a farm in it, because you usually won’t have copper early on to make a bucket, not right next to your den, because animals will trample it at night. In the beginning, you will not have enough resources to make a fence. Yes, you will loose some, but it usually is not too bad. The pool should not be too small either. Use dirt in the pool. It is usually better to make the pool deeper and just put the soil over it so the water seep through it.
11. Plant cotton, especially if it is in a cold area or if no vines are available. A bow and arrow is essential for survival in the beginning. You need different kinds of food, so pumpkins and meat won’t be enough variety. I plant even rye quite early on. It is great as the stored rye or flour does not go bad over time. It is a lot of work though to get enough.
12. If in a cold area, you need to kill bears early on. Also make sure you get leather to replace your shoes.
13. If you have stabilize, begin looking for copper and iron. If you do not have a cave, you need to dig down and search for resources. In my game Furniture Trap, I could not find any coal for quite a while and had to use a lot of wood to make torches. I mined a lot and got some coal and copper and later even a bit of iron.
14. Only now you can think of building a house.
15. Use iron to make a hammer and use it to make furniture as in my trap. You’ll need copper as well for wire, but if you don’t have, you can activate the trap with only your hand.
16. Harvesting gives you a lot of experience points. I do a lot of farming and that helps grow your level.
This should help you survive most scenarios. It differs from place to place though. In snow, wood and fur is essential. In the dessert, you need sticks and cacti, but you will need to find wood, so travelling will be necessary at some stage. At least clothes will be optional, but hunting birds will be trickier. Be careful for traps!!! Look for gave stones to get extra goodies. I hope this helps.
Ok, thanks, that’s generous of you.
I am not trying to be condescending or even suggest that you don’t know how to play. I am just sharing what worked for me, others might have better ideas or alternatives that also works. It might also help a few newbies.
Yeah, sure. The wiki might have this stuff, someone hear like Stanimus contributes in making pages with similar information you included
OK, I have not really read the wiki page at all.
I actually never make hard armour. I will take Kaalus’ advice though to make wooden armour. I use leather and clothing mostly. The rest slows you down too much.
I also make wodden armor at all times, but you don’t always find veins nearby, never risk traveling at the first days just to find vines for armor. Instead, make an underground shelter that has all necessities and dig diagonally until you find copper, keep creating chambers and make sure you keep an eye! Gravel means death. Never dig gravel at the side. Always at the top or two blocks away to prevent the instant death when it lands beside you. That’s how I died in many precious level 10s cruel worlds
I already do countless ways to survive in cruel, but I die in less than a week after getting copper, wear full armor at all times and I died from getting hit but gravel whilst mining a coal patch.
Does this list differ from what you do? I am asking because of what you said before. So maybe I’m asking if this is helping in any way or not.
No, it doesn’t, i always stay in trees, caves or holes as a shelter.
The most annoying part is when you have collected all items and you have filled chests, and want to build a proper large house. That’s the worst part, I died in a cruel world because of this. I wasn’t wearing armor or had weapons, only a copper spear and that didn’t help me stay alive as my inventory was filled with full 40 stacks planks to build my house.
I could add this to my list.
I always carry two weapons, a machete and a spear. If one of them is near the end, I carry an extra one. I hit the animal with the machete and when it runs away, I use the spear. I also never build with wood, since wood is too valuable for me and it can burn. I also make pits near my house to trap predators and reduce chances of dying.
I bet everyone does this, because it’s an automatic instinct in you as a Survivalcraft player to carry these essentials.
When gone hunting, I carry:
• a Machete
• a Spear
• an Axe
Because axes miss a lot but do the most damage, I use it as a kicker hitter when the creature is cornered and stuck under a tight tree spot, a steep mountain slope, in water, or a cave wall.
This is my instinct advice for axe usage. Probably many people also do the same.
Ow, and what’s that “Furniture Trap” method you’ve been talking about? It sounds soo familiar or maybe it’s just a usual déjà vu.
Download my world Furniture Trap.
It basically just squashes the animals using two stage furniture. Just see it in my world. It is a simple world, but nice to play in.
Ok, thanks, I will also rate five stars for your generosity
I’m having a hard time finding it, can you give me the link instead?
It is quite far down since it has not many downloads. I’ll try to send link tomorrow, otherwise just browse down about 7 screen or maybe 10, i cannot remember.
Ow, bad lucky me… ok… I will look for it
I wasted 10 minutes looking for it, scrolled and loaded more than 38 pages or mores, i lost count… never found “Furniture Trap” in Top Ranked-Worlds.
When did you publish this map?
Please send me the link if possible
It is there but here is the link
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1l0osi6qcc7ewnm/Furniture%20Trap.scworld?dl=1
Thanks for the link
Why? I’ve not played much lately and the one world “Furniture Trap” on CC I am on level 14 and I have not dies once. This is even in a lower temperature place where clothes are not optional. It is also before the fix for iron and copper. I did not even have pumpkins. I travelled extremely far to get some eventually. There is not even one cave nearby. I actually have not found a good cave far away. So resources like iron and copper I could only get by digging.
In the beginning I almost died from flu twice and hunger was also a great issue. There were no trees with vines. I planted cotton to get rope. I also got vines together with the pumpkins. It is a fun map to play if you would want to try it out. I have ample leather because of my trap. It is simple but I always use these to gather leather and fur in great quantities.
You already said about this Survival diary log before in a post remember?
Yes, I am repeating myself, but though it was fitting. I hope it did not bother you though.
No, no. Why will it bother me? No I’m pleased that someone is seeking help
I mean the other help, the one when you go help not get helped
Fine, I was a bit confused.
Two things I always strive to find early on are cactus and ivy. Cactus is actually the best fuel since it is low cost (regrows fast) and has a high fuel value. Ivy for string for a bow. It also regrows fast.
If you have ivy, you only need one bird to make arrows then it’s much easier to get more birds.
The new survival mechanics definitely changed my strategies but the tweaks in the bugfixes have helped a lot. If you can make it through the first few days, it becomes much easier. If it didn’t always rain the first day, that would help immensely! More often than not, I would catch flu on day one and rarely survived it…
Ruins or other more extensive generated structures! The game Block Story reigns supreme in that regard. (It also has ‘infinite’ vertical space.)
Agreed
Native American settlements and totem poles lol indian tribes and Indian chief(leader of the whole member or tribe) that would be cool
Kaalus, post more picture hints! Those are the best!
What I want to see in 2.2
1.Indians(Npcs)
2.Reptiles(Crocodiles,snakes and turtles)
3.More Fruits and vegetables(crops)
4.Harpoon(instead of fishing rods)
5.Tents(for hiking or going other places to rest)
6.Mammals(Elephants,gazelle,Hippopotamus,and gorilla)
7.Ships(huge pirate ship)
8.More generated structures(temples,ship-wrecked,etc)
9.Wagons or sleigh
10.Tameable Reindeers
11.Zebra sounds
12.pets or companion
13.birds(penguins and turkeys)
14.Marine Mammals(Blue whale,Dolphin,seal,and walrus)
15.flying mammal(bat)
And also volcanos
Harpoon seems like more difficult tool then fishing rod.
No
Yes
I like the fishing rod more. I you’re on a boat and see a fish and throw the harpoon then you can miss, causing you to lose the tool, or result in you jumping in the water and freeze up.
A harpoon is really for when you’re in water, as I’m assuming that you refer to a harpoon gun. Completely impractical otherwise. And in any case, being in, or even on water is a death sentence nowadays, what with wetness, the flu, and all the hostile sea life. A fishing pole is a much better option.
+1
Bug Report. I have seen this quite a long time ago on the first post of 2.1. Sometimes there are open lava spots under the sea. I have seen this before this update underground where water is on lava without the lava turning to granite.
I have always seen this to, everywhere in sea, well not literally, figuratively it’s everywhere.
Btw how do you put pictures?
I found one right next to (about 50 blocks away from) the shoreline, it looked exactly like ur 2nd picture but it was all water and no magma. It was very easy to plant a garden down there :)
Add natural disasters. They should be the main feature of 2.2
Only if they can be turned off! Lightning already destroys too many builds.
They could be turned off. The reason is the make it more similar to the real world + for people who cant get enough of destroying stuff could use it. If u dont want it u can turn it off
It would be cool to simulate wind. Add like a grass blowing affect? Maybe show leaves blowing from trees? Windy days could be cooler than usual too.
Why natural disasters? Why did you first pull into natural disasters?
Natural disasters would be too much at this point and time.
Still need true multiplayer, some means of storing food for longer, and possibly some way to heal injuries quickly. Last thing we need is getting half crushed by our house falling down at night and eaten alive by the lions that spawn in from the resulting hole in the roof.
Disasters and seasons would have been great back before food spoiled after a few days and we got sick for getting full on milk.
Lol that would be crazy AF
when kaalus added natural disasters
players complain “Its too strong, please nerf them”,”they destroyed everything”
natural disaster nerfed
players complain again “Please add more natural disasters”
games shut down
We need erosion if we are going to get natural disasters so the land can slowly repair itself and trees being able to grow back in the general area of where they once were will help too. Otherwise the land around you would become unplayable over time.
Hey Kaalus, now that we received Creative and Survival updates, I think it’s time for an Exploration Update. We haven’t seen any new generated structure since 1.23 (graves, grass traps) and you said that was a test for future structures. 2.2 could be an exploration update. Survivalcraft 2 is going well with creative stuff like furniture, pistons and survival things like flu, sickness, rot, levels, etc, and obviously split screen multiplayer, but the game needs more incentive to go out for an expedition or exploration. I know we have taigas, rivers and islands, but that’s not enough, perhaps you could add a few new generated structures like that forest cabin you showed us during 1.29 development. Others structures like villages, mineshafts, temples or ruins, igloos could be a good addition or maybe new rare biomes. I hope you can take this idea in consideration for 2.2 update.
I fully agree, well you see… Kaalus didn’t give us an idea or a hint to what’s going to be the feature, if we wait and see what he will show us, we will be having the ability to give him more ideas or suggestions to this feature which will inspire Kaalus to do it. You should go and tell him that in the next post tell him about exploration… my idea of exploration improvement is recreating all Survivalcraft biomes, and actually do something to have a higher altitude limit which will allow to improve mountains/hills, fingers crossed.
+1
What about canyons? I personally think it would be a great addition in biomes.
We already have those, kinda. Be more generic. I say we need more biomes not just hot or cold or wet or dry. We need a simple number of biomes like 5 different biomes from each temperature and humidity.
Ow, and every biome should have its unique variety of flora and fauna.
Agreed
I’m looking forward a volcano in SC: A very high mountain with magma on “top”.
+1
and increase the visibility range or add maps u can plan out where u can go. If u add higher visibility then the player should build a tower where he could plan out where to go.
Unless Kaalus increasesd the maximum height limit. Right?
We need minecarts
Increase it to 256. I feel we will get 1024 block render distance in the future so yea
Yeah, ok sounds good
+1
+1
I noticed a bug, when placing furniture as a building block (such as stairs or a wall) the furniture will make other blocks around it invisible.
Hmm. Wish you would have made cows less rare but, thats ok I can get us to not having cows around I guess…
…
Now I’m super hyped about 2.2! My name theory based on previous updates is that he will hint on something really cool, but not tell anything solid. Then go silent for months and release right before Christmas… I can’t wait!!!
That would be the best Christmas gift ever!!!
Kaalus, I have a bug report with boats, an ACTUAL bug.
I was out fishing for food and some sharks attacked my boat to the point where it had low health, so I took it too my dock to put it out of its misery, and I sunk it by my dock.
I then made a new boat, left what I’m assuming was the chunk my home was built in, came back, and the boat that I had sunk was now afloat at max health. It just popped back out of the water when I returned.
Its not a big bug and doesn’t affect gameplay, but yah know, justa heads up :)
Kaalus,
You must focus on survival, and heres why:
-We need flashlights or hand held torches
-Stronger boat/Motor boat/or metal boat
-Predatory animals need to fight each other
-And we need explosive resitant armor
Obviously its just a suggestion, not an order. Sorry if this sounds demanding.
Those arent reasons why, those are just features you want… You didnt make one point.
And your point is?
The point being that you didn’t give any reasons for those things. You just listed things to add after saying here’s why.
Did I now, I just realized it, oops,
the reason why is to enhance the survival/exploring experience for everyone.
Lantern! i want lantern instead of hand held toches
Great idea! Lanterns, flashlights, and maybe miner helmets would be helpful when in caves.
Kaalus.
make predators fight a animal depending on what damage they do.
And if they are grouped.
And maybe add a predator that normally attacks another predators
Nice. The iOS update is here now btw
I don’t know whether this is a bug or is intended to work this way but the ‘leveling’ system and improvement of stats seem to be broken, here is the issue: I play “challenging” mode when I reached level 20 my stats for the following were: STRENGTHx2.00, RESILIENCEx2.00, SPEEDx1.75, HUNGERx0.80 , now that I’m on level 30 my stats have not changed since level 20, I also feel the “nerfing” the https://kaalus.wordpress.com/2017/07/20/2-1-9-released-to-google-play/ update implemented was un-necessary, bugs fixes fine, as bugs should be fixed, also there is no problem with “lightning” All I do is clean up area of trees where lightning occurred and replant saplings. lets keep “Survivalcraft” challenging ! and not turn it into a soft toy cause one cannot grasp the notion “If at first you don’t succeed,Try,try again”
Try Try Again
by T. H. Palmer
‘Tis a lesson you should heed,
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try, try again;
Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear
Try, try again;
Once or twice, though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try, try again;
If we strive, ’tis no disgrace
Though we do not win the race;
What should you do in the case?
Try, try again
If you find your task is hard,
Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again
All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view:
Try, try again.
4 hours and my comment hasn’t show up or was “moderated” !? whats the deal ? so your employing censorship on post that tell it like it is ? COWARDS ! the whole lot of you, and this to a customer who bought your POS app when you had the gall to make it a sequel, jokes on you, the monies spent on this was from GP anyways , not my hard earn cash from this owners wallet
What even
Um, ok so I updated. When I looked at the things this update added, it listed all the stuff from the previous big update. 🤔 And if that was the update that was supposed to rid me of strange biome squares, it didn’t work. Was that supposed to be fixed? Or did I just
re-update the same update I got before. This is kinda frustrating. I am a little worried that the new update will not fix the ugly squares. 🙁
Can you tell if occurrence of iron and diamonds is any more common now?? I don’t want to update again until we have better odds of survival, given that iron is so hard to get, since last update.
Hell yeah! Its way better man. Ive got a decent amount of iron now!
I noticed that everytime I took a screenshot the game crashed. I’m on an IPad mini 2 (Retina display) The current game version is 2.1.50.0
it san apple think dont worry
Kaalus said: “everytime I try taking a screenshot, apple helpfully kills it 😦”
Does no one know what is going on? My update was weird and it didn’t work. Was that THE update, the one that meant to fix the ugly biome squares? Or is this a bug on my personal software that causes previous updates to appear again?
Suggestion: Animals increase when they are in their herd and baby animal
You meant breeding?
Baby animal? Please.
I know that you prefer the current multiplayer that is the current, but I think most or some prefer Lan or with servers. I know that this current multiplayer can amount to teamwork but with Lan multiplayer you can exactly do just that, depending on the situation. But of course, it would be better to have both of those features rather than sticking to the current multiplayer feature. And most of all, the current multiplayer feature lacks convenience to both parties when playing split screens rather than actually “multiplayer”.
After milk and pumpkin soup rot，can we get our buckets back in a healthy way?I hope to fix this bug.
+1 we should be able to pour them out!
+1 Why don’t we simply tap on a block to pour it out( like water placing, but it will place nothing in the world)
Kaalus,
Because Thermometers and Hygrometers are a little useless,
I have a SUGGESTION:
Can you please make the bestiary contain what temperature and humidity the animal spawns at?
It will be useful for the tools and makes finding animals easy with thermometers and/or hygrometers.
Here’s an example:
Wild boar:
Attack power: bla bla
Resilience: bla bla
Temperature desire: -50 – 50
Humidity desire: 75% – 100%
Please make biomes don’t only go in max and min temperature please, make them able to be a whole biome e.g a whole biome with the temperature: lets say + 8 forest or a -4 spruce forest.
I would like to know if you are going to do this, do it if possible. If not, ignore this comment, Kaalus.
NO. Since people only understand one word replies and you need to learn to shorten your want list.
Dude, Can you like not always comment with anger control problems?
Don’t mean to attack you but… what’s up with you?
dang this Survival Crafter need help. you mad bro?
He always is.
That would be a great idea polar animals can’t resists the heat unlike desert animals
I think having a digital thermometer and hygrometer would be extremely important as an item, not an electricity build because you travel while holding the thermometer or hygrometer.
I think to craft a digital thermometer or hygrometer would be adding a segmented display with it and some copper wire all over each other in the crafting table. Please let me know what you think.
Can you make it in units? It would be amazing to do so.
Temperature in °C or °F: changed by tapping the edit button to change the units.
Hygrometer in %
I hope you might agree to add
NO. Since people only understand one word replies and you need to learn to shorten your want list.
Ow and I was with the “finest simplicity” explaining in that paragraph.
Nothing complex or a lot, that all is like six sentences in total. So don’t judge a topic by its comment size.
It changes while in your inventory. You don’t have to place them for them to show readings.
I know, I was talking about the digital thermometers and hygrometers not the items it’s self.
And BTW I already know that since the update of thermometers and hygrometers.
*items themselves
It’s realy just a matter of learning to read them. They can be very handy as they are, once you get used to reading them well. It can help to edit their textures to make it more clear but that’s not even really necessary.
would like that they put a few tracks and a meter for survivalcraft 2.2 to build more in my city
Something just isn’t right. That update was simply all the things added last time. Things like improved skins of animals and decreased flu likeliness. That’s what it said the update was when I pulled it up. And it certainly did not fix the ugly biome squares. 😕
Good notice, keep your eyes peeled as more updates are coming next month. Some include new features, according to what Kaalus have been saying in his post.
Yeah he is ooooooohhhhhhh!!!!
Did it fix anyone else’s strange squares?
Read his note above. He clearly stated that if any chunk with the wrong calculation was in any way modified, it would NOT be corrected with the bugfix. This is probably what you’re experiencing. Sorry.
Can some one tell me how to upload a pic in this page?
Bcuz i have a report.
Upload the pic on dropbox, then copy its link and paste it in a comment.
I’ll try it:

Good day.
Please add ( giant stingray ) or more marine animals please.
Marine animals are interesting :)
Thank you for reading my comment.

+1 I agree

You mean a Manta Ray
We already have two species of stingrays.
Golden Panther but Manta Rays are unique and quite bigger than those two species they live in saltwater not unlike brown ray in fresh water and yellow ray in artic cold waters while manta rays are bigger and live near beaches
Please add white shark or Huge Animals please
These days are just too short. Especially with the longer nights. 1/3 of gameplay is watching the zzz on the black screen.
Yeah I’m looking forward for more
+1 It really destroys immersion!
you can “wake up early”. i always spend 5 seconds only to watch zzz then i wake up. then my sleepy bar full. really i dont care whether i woke up at the night or day.
That only helps if you can actually do something at night…
i went for hunting to gain experience orbs
Who’s HYPED for 2.2!!!!!!!
Me!
Me too!!! I think we can pretty much safely say everyone is. :-)
Kaalus, you fixed the flowing texture of water – how about fixing the water itself? Lightning and buckets leave HOLES IN WATER. The source block regeneration of water is obviously broken and has been since about 1.29. Why is this ignored?
If the water is only 1 bock deep, it will restore itself but not if it’s deeper. This makes no sense.
+1
I agree about the water thing. Another thing about water that would be good to add is some way of draining water from large areas. There is really no good way of doing this. You have to completely fill in the area and then break it again. This is very tedious. I mainly bring this up because I’m a big fan of underwater cities. I am currently building one in Minecraft and I am able to use spaced out rows of sponges to drain the water from the buildings. But in SC there is no water draining technique that doesn’t take hours and hours just to get one or two buildings finished. Also some kind of diving suit that allows you to swim faster and stay underwater for longer would be super cool! Undersea survival! 😃
+1
logical enough,
I like that you’re looking for a way to stay longer underwater using advanced crafting like micro fabrics that make up a full diving suit with snorkelers and air tanks. It’s gives more use to machinery, metals and crafting which will allow players travel the sea. A harpoon must be the crossbow of the sea, the only projectile weapon as strong as a crossbow but yet not extremely far distant but will protect you from all sea bitters including whales and beluga.
We need a mask or some sort of goggles that help you see well in water rather than murky or blurry vision underneath.
Building underwater is easy, I built an underwater done once in cruel mode cause I was bored, but now I HAVE to focus on finding new and fresh food sources … so building underwater is pretty much impossibly expensive now. I’d have to charge players 450 germanium or 900 diamonds for just a small underwater dome. Before it would have cost 15-26 diamonds depending on dome size, but now forget it.
Food costs are crazy now that milk and pumpkins are pretty much worthless, if you want to travel far for anything longer then 2 days you’d better have 8 or more flour on you to make bread in case your food spoils, or makes you sick from eating too much of it.
So I would need help building an underwater dome, that’s 2-3 other players wanting diamonds for their “help”. Distribution lines of dispensers taking food from one player to another quickly/automatically. Building supplies of sand, tools, glass, etc. $$$$$ you would bankrupt dozens of players assuming they could get 40 diamonds using the same distribution methods and had enough faith that their “friends” wouldn’t forget to feed them daily!
I’m going to go play survival craft one now…
I used to love building underwater in MC. After a few tries in SC, I’ve given up. Hours of removing water and a single slipup can ruin it all! Not to mention drowning or freezing you… I did get one large area cleared properly – once. Now, if I want to, I’ll build under the water, then remove the dirt etc above and around the build.
The most realistic method as I see it is this: If you build a box underwater which is sealed off from the rest of the water but has a hole in the bottom, all the water should eventually drain out from it. It’s not a ‘magical’ fix and still would be difficult (as it should) but it would allow us to build underwater.
Yes. Though, I was talking about creative mode. I’ve never actually tried making under water things in survival mode. But I can only immagine how hard that must be after the food spoiling update. I’m sure in time there will be ways to preserve food. Like making a freezer using ice or making dried or salted foods. The food rotting won’t always be a huge problem to creativity in survival. That beats the purpose of the game. The fun in survival is the fact that we can create yet still have a challenge. The challenge helps keep it from being boring. But if you want something easier and/or faster you go to creative.
Hard? Lick your own elbow, because that is easier than the present updates. I’m still living in a hole in the ground on day 20. I use to have a decent house built by day 20.
Please add NPC Native as you can trade with them, please add it I feel good only in my world, just surrounded by animals and men Wolf Porfa Add Kaalus 😞 😢, For Sure I Have An Idea. I hope to thank you and esque when a wolf attacks the natives, well when it is night by the natives who were previously attacked by the wolves, these would become the werewolves, you do not think that you would have something more than logic, Make A Village Alo Type Indigenous 😉
SC 2 lmao…glad i do not pay gor it.I am from SC 1 and this is dead, the worst thing is the multiplayer excuse and yhe only good thing i found new is yhe FLU feature other yhan yhat get starbound and yes i am hating.
Lol starbound BLOWS. Its not even good XD and yes, im hating ;)
It’s called patience. You could use it.
Kaalus, the amount of frustration i am having is off the limit with SURVIVALCRAFT! IF ANYONE INCLUDING KAALUS THINKS I MADE THIS COMMENT FOR FUN, OR TO JUST BLAB AROUND THEN YOU’LL BE THE IDIOT. THIS ISNT SOMETHING TO IGNORE OR JUST READ, THIS IS SOMETHING TO MAKE SURVIVALCRAFT A BETTER PLACE.
This is serious. Please, Reduce fall damage. It is very annoying, falling 6 meters is not going to instantly kill you! I lost my other precious cruel world I made yesterday because this absolute nonsense.
Please reduce it. I beg you, I am no longer playing a new world just to play and die because of some nonsense stupidity.
I don’t care about whatever reason people will say about this negative comment, I will say whatever I want to help improve Survivalcraft. I don’t care if people disagree, because I doubt it. If you, THE KAALUS is not going to fix serious stuff, I am tired of being ignored when I’m trying to show generosity into naming over a dozen problems in Survivalcraft, this is helping, this is hard work…
If Kaalus is not going to revolutionize Survivalcraft to make better, then I’m outta here!
And btw sorry for the increased anger, I’m supposed to express my emotions and my repetitive experiences!
You should get into the habit of backing up often. I’ve been playing a shared CRUEL world that’s been going since February! The project.xml file says we have a total elapsed time of 3699893.3338474226. Not sure if that’s in days or what, but it’s a loooong time. The trick to not losing it all is backing up!
Oooowww, great idea… Thanks for sharing this idea but I want to play at a normal environment where in Survivalcraft you don’t get hurt because of stupid reasons.
Yeah I found a way to cheese cruel mode so you can just reload back to before you died, avoid the same mistake and carry on, so length of time “survived” in cruel mode means next to nothing.
As for fall damage, yes the developer is basically saying you die instantly if you fall from 24 feet (8 blocks), which is about 2 stories. When in fact you should only die if you fall from 3 or more stories or about 36 feet (12 blocks). But guessing Kaalus fell out of a tree as a child, or just thinks humans are built to sit at their computers all day.
Those football players must DIE every quarter in Kaalus’ world. Now if I could just figure out what they’re doing with those giant forks and a pig’s skin…
You don’t die instantly, you should only get badly injured…. huh…. I don’t know what to say but it’s just what Kaalus thinks.
That’s how I lost a cruel world
If anyone including Kaalus wants me to show you an organized-well-mannered, civilized numbered list of must-be-fixed things in the game, let me know as soon as you see this message, please! We don’t have time to waste! Let us help Kaalus! If you saw this message Kaalus, I want you to know that you are such an amazing person, I am so eager to help you, this comment isn’t anything ordinary… this is something I’ve been wanting to tell you for many years. I just hope you take me seriously and helpfully… I don’t want you letting us and everyone down 😔.
Thanks for all these years of hard work, please… show us what you can really do! You have it! We are here to be with your side!
I just wish everyone can understand how I feel, I hope we all feel the same way…
The bugs can be very frustrating – I understand well! Especially the long-standing ones. We would be interested in adding your list to our own at the forum…
Which forum is it? Is it the Official Survivalcraft Wiki? I will add my list in a few minutes
I hear you, but I might be missing something. I play the game, yet I do not have the same level of frustration for bugs. I am not saying there are none, but I think you might be over reacting a bit. I find the game quite playable and challenging, but for sure not impossible. Some things are actually still quite unrealistically easy. Where can you run away from a bear. Not everything has to be super realistic. This is still a game. i am more for realism than most, but for the sake of the game, realism sometimes has to give. Dying from falling is a bit unrealistic, but there is a solution to it, just don’t fall. Drowning while in water with flu is a bit rough, but for now, stay away from water when you have flu, or better yet, don’t get it in the first place. I don’t like the severity of lightning, but it is not that it destroys the game.
People claim that they cannot travel at all now that food rot has been introduced. I have not found this to be true. I travel with meat and pumpkins, but I take a bow and arrow or just a spear with and hunt birds. On a sleep over, I make a furnace and cook it. I have a lot of flour, but don’t use it while travelling, too bulky.
I do not see myself as a pro, yet I am able to survive without dying once. So, yes, this game has become more challenging. Is that so bad? Instead of shooting it down, maybe we can ask Kaalus to add more playing levels for those who struggle with challenging or even harmless. There are cases where your complaints are valid and I’m sure in time it will be addressed. Do not panic but be patient.
It’s not realism for go sake
sjFridays I am not trying to pick a fight or anything. What do you mean with your answer about realism? Just for fun I went on quite a long trip that took me about 10 days through different biomes. I did not even prepare for the trip. I only had pumpkins, but added meat and bird on the way. My clothing was old, so I lost my shirt and jersey and more. On the way back I make a jerkin to help with the cold but still had to make a fire. I had to fight off a few animals including a rhino. I also had to scale many cliffs.
I got back home safely though. The scariest part was dodging many traps. I found coal and copper, which I needed.
I am not trying to patronise you, just trying to understand your frustration which I am not experiencing.
No, for god’s sake… it’s not about realism!
It’s about stability
So I am going to make a list, and ow my… that list is gonna change everything, it’ll be filled with lots of problems and reasoning
Johan Steyn Is SAVAGE!!! Lol
You should actually think about it, so many issues about problems in SC. I can name you as much as I can, this isn’t an overreaction. Got it? We all have an experience in Survivalcraft and most of know that a lot has been not well-treated in the game. Just wait for the list it’ll be there soon. I hope you acknowledge this list very much. It will show you all I mean.
Please, don’t consider this a fight. I’m trying to tell you how many of us have been experiencing frustration from in-game issues. So, when your world… I tried it, I’m impressed, jaw-dropping… I always do things like this in many cruel worlds but do die and thanks to Stanimus for his advice of backing up your world every now and then. I will make a cruel world, reach over level 10 and have a good-looking shelter when it is the right time.
The problem I am talking about and have seen the difference from your world is that you are supposed to avoid certain features in Survivalcraft for safety! Which I hate! This makes it very wrong… but you know safety first.
For example you should avoid using for your safety in your precious worlds:
1. Riding horses, donkeys or camels
2. Using boats to go somewhere
3. Using Gunpowder or other gunpowder related explosives
4. Going out at night for exploration
5. Walking down hill or a mountain
1. Horses are only usable on plains etc. I rarely use them, but they are great to cover long distances where there are no trees. But yes, when there are trees, they are useless, but how do you want to fix it? If you ride a horse into trees, it is very dangerous. Maybe an alternative could fix the problem.
2. I never use boats because it is too dangerous. I build bridges over rivers. But yes, it would be great to be able to use them.
3. Explosions are a problem. If you explode something, windows break etc. quite far away. I also don’t use it in survival.
4. I stay at home at night. I think it is OK though, since in the wild, it is the best thing to do. I live in South Africa and if I would go into a place like Botswana, you would not go walking around at night.
5. I have not had issues going down mountains. I do it very carefully though. On that map of mine, if you go in the direction of the nearest mountain, quite a distance away, you’ll find a few mountains that are very steep, but I do not see a problem there.
You are right that these are issues, but I would not call it so serious really. If I can’t use boats, it is not the end of the world for me, same with horses. With the new update, if your level is high, horses are not really faster, if at all. Maybe horses should go faster now.
I know, but how do you still adore the game so much when these issues don’t get fixed or give attention to? I wish Kaalus could understand me, this is something bad. Kaalus must make a big fixing update.
I am pleased that you now understand what I mean by the word “issue” because you thought there was nothing bad about it and you thought I was overreacting to them…. no, this isn’t something to just talk about, its something much worst in Survivalcraft. This is something to debate.
I do see it as an issue, but also think you are overacting a bit. But I suppose for you it is more serious than for me. I can play the game just fine even with these issues present. I agree, it would be nice if it were solved though.
Ok, good to know but you never use any of them, like you don’t ride horses a lot, use boats or use explosives as weapons or for creating mining facilities.
Yes, I do not use them, therefore I survive. As you say, they are too dangerous, except for horses on plains.
I use them, maybe that’s why I die because I play Survivalcraft correctly. I do everything in Survivalcraft. Ow, and I die innocently
Why do you say I play it incorrectly? The name of the game is “Survival craft.” So I survive. For me that is the right way to play it. You can say I do not use all the aspects, but not say I play it incorrectly. I have used boats successfully before, but I see the risk is too high. I have complained about it long ago and things have improved.
The only thing you can say is that the game is not perfect, which is true of most games, but to say that I play it incorrectly because I want to survive, is not right, is it?
No, I don’t say you play incorrectly. I only mean you are overprotective on yourself which surprisingly makes you survive for a long time.
I think everything horses, boast and explosives, all of their danger should be tweaked
Most importantly, today is the international day of friendship (July 30)
Please do the most of it to show us all your coding grit!
Im coding a game featuring my old teacher as a gangsta
heh… Ok?
Im showing my coding grit lol
I was talking about Kaalus.
Kaalus, could you consider adding the ability to change the time of day in-game in creative, when we have it ‘fixed’ from the settings? Rather than (or in addition to) setting it only from settings, the sun/moon icon could still be in the menu bar.
Most creative builds are of course done at high noon but sometimes we may want to see how things look at nightime. It’s difficult now since we have to quit the world to change it, then open it up to check, then quit again to change it back to fix the build and repeat, repeat… It would be much more convenient if we could change it through the menu bar.
Thanks for your consideration.
+1
Yes, this is a great idea.
Yes creative mode is awesome, but i’m even more awesome.
Before adding new features, can you please fix things like lighting and water physics?
Water physics is currently broken (not the water direction bug.) So is drowning. You can still drown in one tile deep water if I remember correctly.
Lighting is also broken. It doesn’t light up where it’s supposed to relative to the light source.
Yea, see #32 and that’s only 1 of the water physics issues.
But I see the lighting of lightning a minor issue – the big one is how it eventually destroys EVERY forest around you! And often will leave eternal fire blocks burning in the sky.
Oh yeah. Those fire blocks are annoying. You can smother them though.
I’m actually talking about lighting in general. Try placing light sources at night and you can see how messed up it is. But lightning burning down entire forests should also be fixed. I remember when I thought I was so smart by planting a tree plantation only to get it demolished by a single lightning.
If anyone gets bored waiting for the next update and loves Cruel the best, find me on Discord to join a community game that has been ongoing for seven months!
Considering I use discord … well never if at all, It should be easy to find you and your serv… I’m lost.
I’m scneophyte#1599 on discord. You can message me if interested.
Fracture! when you fell, the damage reduce but you will broke your leg.
Yeah if you fall from 40 to 60 feet (13 to 20 blocks) you likely will break several bones in your legs, possibly have internal bleeding, fractured ribs/coughing blood. Anything higher than 60 feet you die instantly (only few documented cases of falls 60+ feet, but they had X variables that can’t be added to the game).
This is also where having a method to recover HP quickly would come in handy. First aid kit: 3 canvas, 2 red and 1 white flower, 2 string and a machete.
A first aid kit would be slightly costly at recovering only 3 hearts, but worth having at least one on hand. Also make it so people can only use one a day so use it wisely.
FYI, over 15 thousand of people DIE every year from falling IN THE BATHTUB!!! That’s much lower than the 6 meters you want to claim is so safe – and most people DIE or are permanently disabled (i.e., dead in any survival situation) from falls greater than 30′. This is reality…
In a survival situation, if you break your leg, unless you are extremely lucky and very skilled – you will die. PERIOD. And people often break their leg from a 4 meter fall.
I understand, you’re reasoning you land on your head. Most cases of bathroom death is usually caused by the toilet or counter. Most of those deaths are a broken neck. You CAN drown in a bowl of water, but anyone with some degree of awareness will not. So unless the players are pushed from 30+ feet and not expecting to hit the ground (Player is always standing upright so their feet hit first), a person deciding to make a jump likely knows they’re about hit the ground.
*jumps some rope and dies*
Notice I said “falls IN THE BATHTUB” – not, “in the BATHROOM”. Yes, even more people than that die getting onto or off of the toilet. Most of those are the seriously elderly. The vast majority of falls do NOT land on their feet – humans just don’t have the cat reflex of spinning in mid-air to put their feet under them, whether they are pushed or not.
Just try it – climb your roof and ‘slip’ off it. See if you can spin around in time to get your feet under you. You won’t make it. Generally people land on their backside – and break their back. Or land face down and the momentum slams their head to the ground – splitting it open. You
And like I said, even a broken leg in the wilds is usually a death sentence…
But this uninteresting conversation is moot – the game is what it is – just avoid falling farther than a few blocks!
Everyone, I have some questions:
How can I create a texture pack?
What device is possible to use?
What application/program is best recommend?
Any advice for making texture packs? please let me know, I am really eager to make the perfect texture pack for you guys.
*recommended
Your best bet is to visit the official forums. They have an entire section to help with texture packs.
All you need is a program that lets you edit pixels and allows for transparency. There are many for each device and OS.
I am now on a vacation so I am not with my windows computer. Thank you for the help, I will check the forum but any other more specific suggestions?
1. You need to start with an existing texture – it truly makes it much easier.
2. On Android, I use Pixel Maker.
3. If you haven’t toyed with textures before, you really should look over several existing ones and get to know how they are arranged.
4. More help is at the forum…
Use Paint.net.the best on windows
Ok
Wait, I can’t find it
What’s paint.net? A Website or an Application? What is it?
It is a Windows program. It will be on Windows store as well soon. For now you need to download from their site.
Can you give me the URL?
www. getpaint. net (don’t forget to remove spaces)
Ok, thanks
You are welcome!
Ok, I will be making the texture pack after several weeks, I am not with my desktop computer right so, ok, thanks, you’re a life saver
Again, you are welcome and another thing: You need at least Windows 7 SP1 for Paint.net.
No problem, I already use the latest update, I have Windows 10 on my PC
Ok. I was just worried that all your excitement in making texture packs will end up like mine: I have W7 cracked and I can’t update to SP1 then :(
Ow, ok sorry about that
Hey, I’ve noticed it’s a little inefficient and time consuming to use paint and manually drag images on the textures to create one, isn’t there a much easier program or something that’s much faster for creating one? When I mean faster, I mean like… um lets say 45 minutes in creating and editing rather than hours and nearly a day to create a texture by scratch.
If you use paint, it will take you very long. Dis you mean Paint.net?
Textures do take a lot of work. I have done the Real texture packs, like Real HD Midevil etc. Making a sinning texture seamless is not easy. It can take very long just to make one.
I do know how to make a texture pack but the problem is when you place blocks over them, I don’t know which one is which, some blocks I don’t know what they are for me to put the right block
Are you confused? I wasn’t as clear but are you?
1. I made a autocomplete error. I meant seamless texture. Sorry for that.
2. Paint and Paint.net is not the same program. Paint is a Microsoft Windows program (that almost got axed by the way) that is part of Windows and Paint.net is not. There is a huge difference.
Hm but they are still similar, I already know that
That is why I asked, because Paint is far inferior to Paint.net, that is why I asked which you used that took you so long. You contact me privately and send textures for identification or whatever.
My whole point is focusing paint.net and I want to know what makes paint.net easier than paint.
This is a huge question. It could take very long to give you a run through. Lets try just a few:
Cloning (!!!!), expanding and contracting, layers (extremely important), curves (!!!!), magic wand selections (!!!), different rotations with selections, colour wheel operation 100x better, brush etc hardness, fill hardness, resize with resamplings.
How on earth do you create textures without different Windows? This is essential! Paint cannot effectively be used to make a texture pack, unless you want to grow old quickly. But guess what MC’s first texture pack was made using it. Maybe that is why it is so ugly.
It’s because I’ve figured out how to do all of what you mentioned in the first paragraph without using paint.net but something else… but forget about it. I will use paint.net when it’s time
For interest sake, what did you use?
Forget it, I told you I won’t make a texture pack now. Let’s not worry about it because we’re wasting time.
I can’t do the texture now, I will do that later because it will require some big time usage. So, ok.
OK. It is not as easy as it seems. I have spent a lot of time creating mine. There are two distinctive parts to creating a texture pack.
1. Setting up the texture pack. You can actually create a texture pack by just copying other people’s textures. This is then just a copy and paste process I used other people’s textures as well, but enjoy creating my own more.
2. Creating textures. This requires a lot more time, art and talent. It can take quite a bit of time to create just one texture. Sometimes it is easy to just use other textures on the internet and convert them. For my trees and man other items, I have used photo’s of actual trees and then made them seamless, but used curves to make the edges darker. With my meat, I needed a bit more work with painting and especially cloning. The cobble stone took a while to get seamless. To make a texture seamless, you need to paste the texture into a larger canvas and re-paste it top bottom left and right of it, then play with the cloning brush to remove the “lines” between the textures, re-copy those sections again a repeat the process. It takes time, but I enjoy doing it. The glowing box ( with the torch inside) with the copper dragon on it (forgot the name), took quite a while to create. I had to delete every hole manually, but I think it worked very well. The ores also took a lot of effort. To make a paintable texture, you need levels and then you just increase the gamma a lot.
Maybe this will help a bit:
I don’t know. I have only heard only about Paint.net’s reach features but, as I said, I have never tested it…
Ideally use GIMP, but it takes time to learn. If you want to get started quickly, paint.NET is a good choice. GIMP is also available on GNU/Linux, where paint.NET is not.
Ummm it said IOS was still in certification…as of july 27.. when i looked at the updates menu… i see Survivalcraft 2 but the updates were the previous ones (like the one with the spoiling food, rivers,etc. update)
[Posted on August 1, 2017 at 16:00 (UTC +1)]
(Correction)
time posted was at 17:00 (UTC +1)
It’s normal, that’s how some bug fix updates in some apps in the AppStore are see as, it doesn’t always say what the update is really but from the inside, it’s was fixed but you don’t see it.
ROT – this is killing the fun, at least for me. Seriously it has zapped all enjoyment. We don’t want to just forage like homeless cavemen! I don’t see kids enjoying this at all.
It’s hard to focus on non-food-gathering mussions like construction and mining. Arriving at a semi-distant site just to find your food is rotten and useless just puts you back into the endless cycle of hunting, killing just a few animals – IF you can find any – trying to maybe corral some, but not stock up too much food. And with the lack of ore, why bother mining? Iron is a thing of the past. You can’t hunt and eat long enough to find any.
Please make ROT optional. It is KILLING the fun. Sad as I am to say it, I honestly can’t give v2.2 many stars. It’s Miserycraft.
Well, I won’t be so rude about that, but making rot optional has its positives, including attracting new players to SC. I have recently tried to tell some more MC players about SC, and they found rot not fun. It is good to have challenges in SC, but I now think that I can compare this situation with the werewolf one: some players want werewolves while some players disable them. I will personally continue playing with rot even if we could disable it, but there are also some players that want to keep it disabled.
(without moving to another blocky game, because they still like SC the best)
Not meaning to be rude, just trying to make a point because I care about the game. There is so much challenge in the game already compared to puff pieces like MC. Rot as it is now is a stagnating slap in the face. There ahould be an option to turn it off, you know, for those of us that aren’t complete masochists.
The idea of having food rot IS that it keeps you hunting, instead of just hording lots of food eiht away.
Keeps you hunting with no time for anything else. It’s out of balance.
Lol, no. You hunt for a whole day. Get 5 birds or maybe 3 steaks. Then do whatever you want for the next 3-4 days
I agree, it is really not that bad at all. I store up a lot of wheat and make bread when I need some, add some pumpkins, bird etc. We really do not eat constantly, do we? Even when I travel, food is not an issue. I just hunt along the way. I do not even take a bow with, just my spear for birds. I take a bit of food with that last a few days and add thereafter.
Come on guys, the game is fine. Just see it as a challenge if you are struggling now. I find it very playable and I don’t even play a lot these days. In my one world I have not died once and it has been a long time, even though I’m only on level 14 or 15. i play it very casually.
Haha yeah, i recently died for the first time from falling working with pistons and went from level 18 to 9 :( Have not run out of food though
Completely agree with making tot optional, at least if there isn’t an option to turn it off, there should be some form of refrigeration so that it delays rot considerably, or stops it.
The problem is the process is way too fast. It must be doubled.
I personally think that doubling the rottting process’ duration would be fun, letting us to do more than hunting in survival, but not realistic. Think of what if the fridge didn’t exist in real life. How long would it take for the food to rot then? I agree with you, we are now hunting too often because of the fast rotting process, but doubling the speed of rot to take is not an option in my opinion.
It’s not like the real life, it’s not complicated. It should just be doubled, two days wrapped meat in your pocket not two days to rot, should be four at max.
I wonder if Kaalus is either taking a break after 2.1 bug reports work or is working on the new features for 2.2. What do you think?
I am going to be transferring all my stuff to a new device soon. Before I do that tho, I need an answer. Will the ugly biome squares be stuck there if I upload a world while they aren’t fixed? I really need Kaalus to explain this to me… in a way a computer genius would to a small child. I am NOT good with computers and all that technical stuff goes over the top of my head. I need to know what I can or should not do with my worlds to get these ugly squares fixed but still transfer them to another device. And the last update DID NOT fix the squares. In fact that last update did nothing at all. I’m not even sure what it was, ’cause those things in it were from his last major update. So please Kaalus, explain what I should do with this. /:)
And if all that work I put into making this awesome world is unfixable, I think I shall lose the will to play SC. :(
I don’t want that to happen, but it is really devastating. Like if the most amazing piece off art you ever made being wrecked. You couldn’t even remake it, or anything else.
Repeat… THERE ARE STILL UGLY BIOME SQUARES. THEY ARE NOT FIXED.
Yeah i agree
Kaalus please do something new.
Like the 4 seasons,that bug whistle at night,and relaxing rain sound and the effects on the windows,trees and ground.
Its gonna be awesome.
The last update “Multiplayer update” was awesome for xbox, since you could play split screen, but what if you want to play multiplayer on mobile devices? Can you make local wifi multiplayer.
Kaalus please please please fix the piston bug. I’ve facing this since 2.0. Always when I try to edit more than one piston, they all turn to just one piston! I have losing all my pistons just because I tried to edit them all. If isn’t possible to edit multiple pistons just once, why we are able to do that? Again, if I have 10 pistons and try to edit the pack, they turn into just one. It’s very annoying.
This is true. I did the same thing with a stack of 4 pistons and I went to place them. I placed one and realized the rest were gone.
Hope Kaalus will fix that!

I would like to vote, but your pole doesn’t include people’s carefully-thought requests. I mean, just for your information, not all the players here requesting new features (wheter if they simply wish to have something new wheter it is or they want a specific something new) are “KAALUS ADD MINECARTS, RAINBOWS, HIPPOS, AND STUFF!!!”. Some players here have really good and logic reasons for requesting specific features. Not all are spammers. Some people here really THINK before making their high-quality requests. Also, what is “Me like Orange”??? How old are you??? Do you THINK before wasting a World Wide Web link like that? Don’t you think that your pole is just annoying spam like some, but not all of the requests here?
Kaalus, I have a serious question I’d like to ask about Survivalcraft. Do all creatures and animals have the same health and just have different resistance multipliers, or is health across them all different? I am honestly curious. And which system do you think works best?
I can’t help but feel like I’m being ignored. :/
Kaalus does read these, right?
Idk, I mean Id rather him work on SC that answer my question but Id still like to know. I think multipiers are actually a very good system. Might try em out.
First, you’re confused between resistance and resilience.
Second, here’s what Kaalus said about the creatures health/resilience:
“damage = attack power of attacker / resilience of target
A random factor of +/- 20% is added to every attack.
For example, a human male using bare hands has an attack power of 1. If attacking a brown bear (resilience 60), the resulting damage will be:
damage = 1 / 60 = 0.0167
Not much. You need about 60 bare hands hits to kill the bear. On the other hand if you’re wielding an iron machete (attack power 7), you just need 8-9 hits.”
Third, health is not calculated, but only acts as an indication to the human player in the bar how much damage is left to death. So this means other creatures don’t have a health bar but are calculated between the division of the attack power of the attacker and the resilience of the target. The reason it’s made like that is because it’s more organized and accurate to armor protection percentages which is does not go well in hearts, resilience is a more educated answer than just hearts which is why Kaalus isn’t going to do anything. Trust me, Kaalus knows what he’s doing which is why this calculation exists in the program phase of Survivalcraft and he gave us proof as seen in the Second point I’ve given.
Ok thanks. I wasnt making a suggestion tho for him to change anything. I know Kaalus is a far better programmer than I am, I was just curious cuz I might do the same thing for my games.
Hmm… you know you’re not amazing at lying by the way, keep that in mind, nice try.
Heh… just kidding! ; )
A bug on iOS (haven’t checked Android yet) regarding the thermometer, the 40 and 60 Temperature icons are flipped, so it goes from 0 20 60 40 80 100 instead of the usual 0 20 40 60 80 100
K
If everyone’s wondering why I have said biomes are an important part of the game is because you don’t have savanas or other important biomes. I think they are very important, we have more big cats but yet we don’t have their habitats. I think if we are having an update, I wonder what it’s like to have cheetahs in Survivalcraft? They would be dang fast probably faster than horses like twice as fast.
+1
Kaalus, the whole Survivalcraft bestiary isn’t true, it’s the wrong reading of all animals including humans.
What the heck? Humans run like in the fastest reach the 30s km/h
Please fix this and I wonder if any of you guys would thing have different running speeds in the player would be important.
Walking, jogging and running,
Walking would be the speed at 0.33
Jogging would be the normal pace which is 1.0
Running would be 1.66
If any of you think this is relevant please let me know, I wish we have this because it would help so much, walking nearly takes 6 minutes to lose all stamina, normal Survivalcraft jogging takes 3 minutes (I’ve tested it out and it takes 00:03:10), running should take 1.5 minutes.
I don’t think humans should run slower. It would have to be pretty slow, annoyingly slow even, to be proportionally accurate. Though, I think horses should run faster. It seems that now that I’ve got to lvl 20 or so, I’m extremely close to outrunning my horse. I think that once you get to a certain level, you will no longer increase running speed, but your stamina will run out slower. This just makes sense. There is no point in having a horse even in the plains if I can run faster than it! XD
Another thing related to running I want to mention is swimming. It’s fair that at first we aren’t great swimmers. But once you get up to a greater speed level you can swim faster. I like this, but you can only swim at a decent pace if you can run at a ridiculously fast pace. If running speed gets reduced, I don’t want swimming speed reduced too. I would want the swimming speed to be separate from the running. Because in real life, swimming really is a whole different thing. People can swim pretty fast. In fact people who swim can swim faster in waist deep water than they can walk through it.
I don’t think you got my point, did you?
Again, I’m going to say… UGLY BIOME SQUARES ARE NOT FIXED. This is serious. If my worlds are lost like this, as much as I love SC, I don’t think I’ll ever feel like making anything ever again. My worlds were perfect. /:(
But now they’re not. And they CANNOT be remade. :(
Ok, well maybe the cheetah should run faster to be accurate. But who wants the cheetah to run that fast. Seriously. I mean my first reaction to the new huge and powerful shark was, ‘Oh great. Just what we need. A new predator.’ I think we have enough predators. And if they get any more dangerous… 8\
If you edited the terrain then those biome squares won’t revert back to normal terrain!
Kaalus, if I sleep near lava and get to hot than the “Zzz” start to blink on and off.
Kaalus, I’m going to list this as a bug report, since I do not think you intended it to be like this.
I think you have to look at the world rendering engine again. Apart from the complaints that has been listed already, like squares and ugly trees, I want to complain about caves and mountains. In the old SC, you could find caves fairly easily and they were very often quite big and went deep. I have randomly created a few worlds and looked for caves in creative, yet rarely find them. When I do, they are small or do not go very deep. They are also more edgy or ragged and not as nice as the old ones. Most caves are just a tunnel through a mountain. I did not dig to find caves, I am just talking of open caves. In the old SC, caves sometimes had big rooms, which I have not come across now. It would also be nice to have open caves in on the plains. It is OK to be rarer, but still.
Mountains:
Mountains are interesting, but now the floating islands which were once a rarity, is now very common. Although it is interesting, they are very unrealistic and disrupt the scene.
Extra:
Biomes: The new biomes are great. I just think the sizes jump to much with each setting. from 1.5 to 2.0 is a huge difference. It would be great if scaling could be more gradual.
Mountains could still be higher – maybe a setting in the creation for mountain heights, valleys etc.
Plateaus would be nice as well like in MC
Deserts tend to be mostly just flat. Variation would be great. The old engine did it great. Even the plains could have a bit of highs and lows.
Offshore islands would be nice as well.
I haven’t even touched the ugly squares. In fact I haven’t even touched the worlds since the terrain got messed up. I didn’t have anything built on them either. Before or after. But it is still very upsetting. The last update basically did nothing. Nothing new at least. When I looked at what was new in the update it listed all the old stuff. You know,… improved zebra skin, added flu, support of multiple players… ect. So I guess I am just trying to figure out if that was the update intended to fix the squares in the first place. Or if there was some mistake. That’s why I keep asking if anyone else’s ugly squares were fixed. And I forget what Kaalus said, but it sounded like he was implying that to recover the original terrain you have to have uploaded the world prior to the bug so you can re-download it in its normal state. And if that is true,… then all is lost. Because my worlds are new enough that I have not bothered to upload them. But they are old enough to have more than I could ever rebuild in them.
I agree, I have suggested this already similarly.
My opinion is sand shores in the continent or in other islands found in the sea must be bigger, they are a little too small.
What you see in the game is a 5-8 blocks of sand only, it must be further to create a more beautiful simple shore especially in islands.
What you see in life is either larger sand shores, gravel shores or cliffs. This is all never seen in the game, which is quite annoying, it must be quite simple to do. What excuse is their not to improve islands or shores?
I agree with you! Hope Kaalus will improve the shores in the following updates.
Yeah, me too ok thanks
I just looked at the version history of SC in the App Store. It was literally the same update twice. The only thing different was the version numbers. Though, SC is not the only thing doing this. Clash of Clans just released an update and it was the same as its last one too.
One thing I guess we all want in 2.2 is a way to domesticate and/or reproduce animals like cows.
I know, it seems important for farming and petting wild into domestic varieties of creatures. Animals in the game seem not very useful. All you could get from them is killing, which is meaningless.
Yeah. We should be able to use bulls for farming and transport, cows to reproduce and get milk, also domesticate and reproduce wildboars would be useful. Maybe domesticated wolfs could help us with the cattle and so forth.
Kaalus I love your game …. one of the best in the play store and good price …. I have no complaints about your game, great for fun times … I would just like to add more objects and Weapons ….. a LAN multiplayer and that to the creations of furniture we can put specific functions …. thanks kaalus for bringing us this game …. I hope your answer …. like: D
Confirmed: Kaalus isn’t posting this week. We will have to wait 1-3 weeks
I hate it when we are left out, it don’t feel like the feature is being focused. Where’s the post of “feature 2.2”?
Ok. I stand corrected. I got back onto my worlds and the squares are ‘mostly’ fixed. However there are still some places where it looks like a square cookie cutter took a chunk off the side of the beach. And I did find a couple places where the biome did not change even though they had not been touched. Fortunately these are nowhere near my builds and are in the middle of nowhere. So it isn’t a huge deal. As far as the land. That can be changed. The only thing I cannot manually fix is the temperature of a place. Mountains can be blown, ponds dried, sand replaced with dirt block, but you cannot change a biome. So at least that is fixed. Thank you so much Kaalus!! *huge sigh of relief*
He is on vacation, i think.
Maybe, he will come back in september.
Until that, he takes a break & spends time with his family.
He isn’t a robot, he is a person, who can burnout. So, before it happens, i think, he takes a break.
So, that’s why he posted this summary.
Ok, I’ve been thinking it all the time, about him being on vacation. He is.
So…
It’s likely that he is. He lives in the UK, has children and it’s the school holidays here at the moment.
How did you know that besides Children?
But, good point, yeah he may be resting… so it means that September may be the time he will post a bug fix update or talk about the 2.2 feature. : / can’t wait.
Is anyone having this problem. Survivalcraft on my PC is not recognizing that I hooked up a second gamepad. The Computer recognizes but not the game. The game says Gamepad 2 (not found). So I can’t play 2 player with gamepads.
Sounds like it is not the games problem. But you controler or computer has a problem…
My thoughts:
First are both controllers same brand?
2nd make sure the controller is recognized by the computer. Check in devices and printers.
3rd make sure correct drivers are installed.
4th make sure that the controller is x input and not direct input.
5th restart the computer.
…
Thanks I checked and the computer does recognize the controllers. And yes they are the same brand. It worked when the multiplayer update first came out but after the last bugs fix. The game doesn’t recognize the second controller I connect. Thanks anyway.
Something I think that needs changing is raw food. Fish in particular. I absolutely LOVE sushi! But in SC, if you eat raw fish it tells you not to eat anymore because it tastes odd. Humph! Not! 8/
Sushi is amazing! I’m not saying that it should be as safe as cooked meat. I’m just saying there should be a lot smaller chance of getting sick from raw fish. Sometimes beef, and DEFINITELY bird are not safe to eat raw, but fish is more than likely ok. I mean, people eat worse kinds of seafood than fish raw! XP
Anyways, considering how little nutrition you get from sea urchins, I think we ought to be able to eat more of them. And I also think seaweed should be edible. In fact maybe it could have medicinal properties. Because seaweed, or kelp, whichever, are actually good for you.
thought that kaalus does not earn so much money due to the problem of apk and wanted to give you an idea since minecraft was updated and so e heard and can not download apk of MPE should Kaalus grab that idea so that they can no longer Make pirate copies of the game make survivalcraft 2 have a purchase verification since it is seen that when survivalcraft 2 the first result is to download the apk is something that I displeased a lot since for those few people probably Kaalus could pull in a Future survivalcraft 3 for lack of money, and only for those people who remove the apk. I hope that Kaalus grasps the idea of MPE in getting a verification of purchase so that those few people who take the apk are finished !. Because if they did not exist those apk from the beginning kaalus instead of taking survivalcraft 2, we were left with survivalcraft 1.30 Thanks
Another problem is that when I uploaded the report on the error of the duplication of pistons not abia researched enough, and now I discovered a new error and it is exactly the same with the previous with the pistons but now with batteries if you want to see the error here le I leave a link to see the error that is still present in survivalcraft 2. Many thanks to kaalus for creating an excellent game and I hope it continues to improve
Here is the survivalcraft 2 bug video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BgDmR4Mbkg
That would be a problem for people who can’t afford or have no money to buy the game
Maybe kaalus should do a donation for the game(SC 2) that way he can earn money I think like a kind volunteer to donate SC2
Even now, the only thing i dont like about this game is so much killer animal respawning in survival mode/challenging. Like when i wake up in the morning there were so many wolf outside my house like 10 of them 1 tiger and 2 bears. It kills my survival imagination and my chance to fight and go outside to hunt or farm food. I really like survival thing. and so much powerful animal just waiting to kill you outside is killing the mood. It so unrealistic about survival. Maybe 3 to 5 killer animals at a time is more realistic. I know someone will say that more wolf like 10 is realistic.. of course they move in pack. But in real life theres many thing you can do to avoid them like climbing trees and or switching trees from there, and the benefit of adrinaline rush when you been hunted. But in game you are limited. so the only fix In mind is to reduced them i think 3 is better. Maybe they can be more like what they are now but Must be coded to be not gather altogether in one place. I mean, like this. In morning i wake up and there will be 3 wolf outside fine maybe i will kill them. Then i walk to find food. On the way see one or 2 lion or 3. Together ok i avoid them and walk away then the other way saw 2 hyena and the other way has 1 bear on the othere part was boar that is fine. You can chose which way to go or ingaged with. But the current setup. All killer animals can be in one place like outside your house and attacking one is your doom! I hope you got what i want to point out. Im sorry about my english and grammar.
-hope kaalus will noticed this.
And yeah. Maybe harmless you say?
-animal wont attack unless u hurt them first.
!It kills the survival aspects.
This game is now easier than before. I usually had to get rid of many predators in the morning, now only a few, so I do not know what you mean. Wolves don’t attack you in the day, so you only had a bear and tiger to handle, not too much at all. Sometimes it helps to first practice in harmless.
With the new update, predators move away in the morning, it used to be harder.
And yeah. Maybe harmless you say?
-animal wont attack unless u hurt them first.
!It kills the survival aspects.
It depends if the animal is agressive or harmless
That’s why don’t get closer to agressive animals like rhinos,bulls,gnus,cassowary,bisons,and predators
Also wildboars
Kaalus, can you please update the chunks32.dat information in files/technical section. I heard it is a little outdated, but not sure if that is true.
Kaalus I see that there are now animals spawning on offshore islands. It was an issue quite a while ago and I only now noticed you fixed it. Thanks.
I have another problem. I have created a few very small islands, 30×30 or 30×80 and I have not yet seen animals spawn at all, except wolves and animals in caves. This is fine, but getting food is a real issue. I have managed to survive though with very scarce birds and once killing a shark using a boat (so they are useful after all). Rye very scarce but slowly beginning farming. Also no pumpkins. I do think it would be nice if there were some animals though, but the challenge is also OK.
yes I was diging hole in the island wall and jump in water when a shark come to kill me I go out and close the water source and after he die I take the meat and hey can you watch my video https://youtu.be/83JR2sXZllc
I think sometimes when edible animals don’t always spawn nearby or never spawn, it’s a fun challenge for those who are looking for a challenge in a new terrain like a small island. I think it’s obviously possible to survive. I love how neat it is to survive in different ways. It’s very useful if when you choose island terrain mode and you could choose an option to have other islands to be generated as well, It’s not necessary but useful.
Ow johan, I accept your challenge, I made a CRUEL mode world and reached level 10. I have all mining resources including diamonds (20 diamomds). I have a three story house with a replace and a chimney, Beautiful living room with well organized cruel-made furniture, A garden, a mining tunnel, a bedroom with cabinets, an attic with a balacony of a glass floor to allow you to see through what’s in front of your doorstep, very useful if you want to check if it’s safe to go out.
The world’s name is Survival4ever for obvious reasons:
Here’s the link: h ttps://transfer.sh/PiHj3/Survival4ever.scworld
Remember to remove the space between h and t.
Please tell me what you think about the world johan.
Great, but I’ll not be able to get to it soon. Time is a bit of issue now.
Ok?
:-\
hey if you are a fan or a pro in survival Craft like me I hope you like my video about it and top 6 games fps survival… And kaalus back to post new animal and things you are posting boring things now
I would like elephants and crocs
Well, hope the silent period here will end soon. I am so bored…
Ow I forget the link https://dl.dropbox.com/s/2qksop8y5pv22yd/Falconbourne.scworld?dl=1

Kaalus this is what people have asked of the furnitures, I know that I am somewhat intense but I think it is for a good cause.kjbkjbk
Things that are required in furniture,
1. that placing a semiconductor block on the crafting table with furniture, can not interact with the hand, only with electricity.kjjnkjhoi
2. As you know, the doors in survivalcraft are 2 blocks high, and it fulfills its function of “door”, a door of a single block would not be realistic, because the personage measures 2 blocks; So it happens with furnitures, for example, if we create a bed, it is unrealistic to place one part and then the other, it would be incredible a way to paste furnitures, then when we place it, for example the bed, and occupy two two blocks, And if we destroy the furniture, destroy the two glued ones.jbkjb
3. There is something that is annoying, not only with furniture, but also with several blocks of the game, it is water, water is the great destroyer of everything in the game, slabs, furniture, electricity, steps, stairs, Leaves, etc .; Maybe the electricity if it is something that is destroyed with water, but the steps, or the furnitures, or the leaves should not have this, it is complicated and very when we have buckets of water in our hands, LITERALLY, we are afraid that accidentally We are riege and destroy everything, whether doors, fences or furnitures, and I AM 100% sure that a lot of people are bothered by this, not only furnitures, but also different objects,kjbkjb
4. I do not know if this is possible, but many people have asked: functions to the furniture, something that was that the furniture had states, with it could be made doors and hatches, also that could be combined with torches, this would Light to the furniture, we would like more features to the furniture, for example, if you place a furnace and a furniture (for example) in the crafting table, that the furniture has the capacity to burn things, or if it fuses with A machete or ax, cease to be a block and be converted into an item with those caption machete or ax, this would give the furniture more than a touch of decoration, we could even make fridges for food, who knows.kbjhk,uh
5. this is a request of mine, I would like the furniture to have a maximum of 16 states, why? If the previous point (4) is accepted, I would like to combine a furniture with 16 states with a 4-bit-counter, or with a battery, and that each state of the furniture is a voltage, so, we could decide which state We want furniture when we want it.bkjbk,j
Thanks for reading kaalus and people, people who likes to idea please support jbkjnkujb
All the techy stuff you mentioned goes over the top of my head. My worries are that if you messes with the system he already creates the furniture I have already created will become obsolete. Kinda like how my worlds became obsolete when he changed the terrain generation and ugly squares of wrong biomes were appearing. I would hate for something terrible to happen to my sculptures. Because, like the worlds, the are literally a work of art and cannot be made a second time. Anyhow,… I second that comment about the water destroying stuff. It isn’t fun when trying to build fountains or wells, or any other decorative/practical things involving water.
*he
Agh! So many typos. And they’re all autocorrect’s fault. 😝
As a furniture maker, I’ll respond to you here.
1. This would be a great feature but I disagree with using a semiconductor block to do it. Germanium is much too valuable to use up 9 for each furniture block…
2. What you’re asking for is extremely complicated and would hurt other things. Is it really too much work to break two blocks instead of one?
3. The answer here is so simple – just never keep a bucket selected when you aren’t actually using it. I learned this my first days playing SC – after I burned my shelter down with a magma bucket. It’s not hard to remember. I usually don’t even keep full buckets in the hotbar. Immediately put them away in your inventory…
4. Some of what you ask here are things that most would like, such as making cupboards that will actually hold things. But are you really asking to make a cobblestone block act like a machete???
5. Actually, furniture can have an infinite number of states. Because it can, there is no way to choose one of those states – they always have to follow in order. I too, would like to choose the state but we can’t have it both ways.
And, what’s up with all the nonsense gibberish at the end of your paragraphs?
hfgfgshdgfgfhhsgdgfgfhfgdg – like that?

And how to show photos I found a rare bull it was white aslo I make a screen shot to my worlds on download
Here’s a thought on freezers. I think that the fish in the corner (the one that indicates rot) should turn blue to indicate that the food is frozen. Freezers take a little time to freeze the food. Sort of like an oven. And then if you put food that is frozen into the oven it will take much longer to cook. Another’s thought is that if you leave a chest outside in a freezing climate, the food in that chest will freeze. So basically the chests will have “body” temperature like we do. And depending on the climate, the food in the chest will either freeze or rot.
Freezers will also need to be refueled. With ice or snow perhaps? Snow being the equivalent of logs in a furnace, and ice the equivalent of coal.
There should be more foods, for example fruits, corn, and if you include sugar cane you have all the ingredients to build cake, so cake could be making dough with flour, eggs, milk and sugar. Then you put it in the furnace, but it could have multiple cooking cycles before it is fully baked. Another idea is seasons for the island world gen, as it would give more incentive to make cotton clothes earlier on, before winter comes. And natural disasters as an option, so you can choose whether to have tornadoes, floods, earthquakes. And maybe a food storage thing, so you can make your food last longer, or being able to smoke and/or dry food. And also ruins in the game.
Also maps, as maps would be awesome.
Yes! All that sounds awesome. But I want to make sure that natural disasters won’t happen very often. Because lightning causing forest fires every two days is plenty a disaster! ☹️
Dude natural disasters is not possible cause if you think about it… (since kaalus is literally the only developer of this game and creator at the same time)
Sudden flash flood…
Destroys all the grass in lots of chunks (loaded and unloaded)
All of the grass in the surrounding area would turn into soil…
Which would probably cause lots of lag…
Tornadoes…
I may not know how to program but I do know that it would be really hard…
Not to mention how would you program blocks to fly around getting picked up then launched…
Game would lag…
Earthquakes…
How do you… code a freaking blocky world to shake..
Well, even if the proggramming part would be possible, natural disasters will not be fun at all. (Think of the flu and rot that give us new challenges we love. People already react negative on that.)

I’ve found a bug with furniture : https://www.dropbox.com/s/xrccqd0f5zzeoha/Survivalcraft%202017-08-10%2016-06-43.jpg?dl=0
All these block are furniture,i try to make a MarioBros with,but…WTF?
That is the complexity bug. It happens when you exceed the complexity limit per chunk. Just try to use less furniture and it will be fixed! : )
Hello everyone, I’ve made a PVP kits map for you to enjoy, check it out in the community content (Remember to filter into “Recently Added” content.
World Contents:
• cool flat dry land field with 2 fortresses with a very simple PVP central area
• up to 16 PVP kits to select and enjoy with your friends
• kits organized in chests, a sign and a status to find the right decision for the right time for victory!
• no kits are overpowered, they are all neatly fair
• you start with four players, but you could change the game mode to creative, remove them to the desired number to start with and change into Adventure mode.
Map name: PVP SC by SJ
Link (if you’re feeling lazy): h ttps://dl.dropbox.com/s/03vx4obnncqxgba/PVP%20SC%20by%20SJ.scworld?dl=1
remember to remove the space between “h” and “t”
Thank you Kaalus for the wonderful update we have got months ago, this map will make things better together with kits and battling fun.
Please let me know if there’s anything you might think would be better to do or let me know if you liked it.
I will always reply to you and do your suggestions if good enough.
Link doesn’t work even when I removed the space
No, I tested downloading it, it works.
Did you tap “world and then download it?
hi my last video has lag this is the link https://youtu.be/A7M7aHC-VS8 share it
Added Npc plss
YESSS!!
Indian tribes
They should add natural disasters like tornado ,flood ,huricane ,etc.
You know, I’ve always been wondering why some people only grab on the first point! NATURAL DISASTERS! And not all the important and highly suggested features like thirst, genders, breeding and taming.
Like it’s just so weird: “FIRST NATURAL DISASTERS… then everything else!”
I’m only saying this because it’s really not I would say…
I mean think, would you just be so interested in playing Survivalcraft if natural disasters were added? Are we looking for more destruction? Or what? What makes it fun? Natural disasters are like the 20% chance weather around most of the world.
It entirely makes no sense. Do you think we would have tornadoes and hurricanes everyday in SC? They are obviously rare so, you get the point.
Natural disasters are far more common than the unrealistic taming of wild predators!
It’s not about realistic taming! It’s about realistic breeding and petting. DON’T JUDGE THIS, history is there, it happened, people did that, it’s possible, it exists, it’s pretty common in certain circumstances and no, natural disasters are rare generically.
I agree

@sjFridays EH DI WOW!!!!
What?
Nothing
You can’t even understand Tagalog
Um, sorry I can’t understand Tagalog. Don’t worry I know what Tagalog is, it’s the Philippines language. So, yes! sjFriday 1 – kakashi 0
Does it count that I partially understand Tagalog? I mean I already know what it is! So it kinda counts as acknowledgement aka I know what you’re talking about.
You know what? I don’t even know where I’m going! Well ok…
At least I know what “you’re talking is” not what “you’re talking about”.
Yeah it’s getting awkward, I don’t know what I end up talking about because I could be making endless conversations, it’s just me, you know. But um like…
Ok see ya!

Invisible portions may be an indicator that you are approaching the chunk complexity limit.
Yeah, but none of the Processed Units are low in memory so they game shouldn’t be acting like that, definitely has to do with the game not the device.
I know, complexity limit occurrence approaches when there’s a high furniture density in the chunk. I had to remove so many furniture to have it clean, which is frustratingly frequent in most cases of gameplay.

yeah my last poll messed up, but these should be fixed.
voted
IDGAF <3
I would like to vote, but your poll doesn’t include people’s carefully-thought requests. I mean, just for your information, not all the players here requesting new features (wheter if they simply wish to have something new wheter it is or they want a specific something new) are “KAALUS ADD MINECARTS, RAINBOWS, HIPPOS, AND STUFF!!!”. Some players here have really good and logic reasons for requesting specific features. Not all are spammers. Some people here really THINK before making their high-quality requests. Also, what is “Me like Orange”??? How old are you??? Do you THINK before wasting a World Wide Web link like that? Don’t you think that your poll is just annoying spam like some, but not all of the requests here?
A. Accept I had one throw away answer that could be discounted as someone not understanding … anything, so I would have data to throw away
B. Kill yourself (This choice would make your argument invalid)
C. Make your own poll, with your own choices, with whatever criteria YOU want, so then the majority of us can chose NOT vote on it
D. Ignore my poll, because everyone accepts that this data is fully useless and is only meant for the person who made it to enjoy other people’s stupidity/had nothing better to do for a week while school started back
E. (“”) =^w^= (“”)
F. And your point is?
G. At least I am glad that you do know that your pole wasn’t more than a waste of time for everyone including you.

You should stop spamming or WordPress owners or weird programmed codes could detect your frequency in comments that are not useful so the ones that aren’t replied/ones that get messaged at the same minute?
Avoiding doing the wrong thing is highly recommended.

Wow u you have a point I better stop or maybe your trying to scare me that there are hackers or criminal people that I do no not want to mess with
I know you’re bored, I know exactly how it feels to be bored. It happens.
Yeah I’m just impatient about 2.2
Yeah, been there
Been there done that
Hello, everyone.
If you have tried my map then thanks a lot, it makes me feel rewarded. One thing to remember is to please consider contacting me here for any further recommendations for the map. As I always say, I will always reply to you at anytime as soon as I see the comment.

Thank You
Nah maybe it’s next week I think
no
he is on vacation
he is with his family
he tooks a break
that is why he posted this summary
maybe he come back in september, but maybe he won’t post
i think if he return to SC2, he will read the forums, and will make a list, and order priority
So, we can write here our wishes
Wishes but NOT requests and claims.
I think, we must say to Kaalus a big “Thank You”, because he’s listening us.
But he is not a robot.
So we can have wishes. And when our wishes become true, we will happy. But our wish does not oblige its implementation. (Except bug report)
So, we must be patient.
Your commentflush is useless and irritating.
You wrote, what is your wish. Kaalus will read that.
If you write down several times, you will not achieve anything, only annoying others.
So, please, be patient.
[sometimes, i used google translate, so i’m sorry for linguistic errors]
The armour in this game looks silly, ik kaalus probably worked hard for the design but pls make the armour reach the arms. Change the helmet design, it looks pointy. I like late roman or Viking armour :))

Something useful… how about elephants? I think these would be especially cool. They would be tameable like the camels, strong like the rhinos, and once you have “adopted” them, so to speak, they will defend you as if part of their herd. They should be exceptionally intelligent. (As should dolphins and dogs when added ) They should know if your intentions are hostile. Like if you approach them with a weapon in hand they will become hostile to you like a rhino.
Thnx for agreeing
I detest the thought of that being true. I’m quite certain I was not agreeing with anyone here. I was giving my personal thoughts and suggested elephants.
I really think berries would be a good thing to add. And maybe other fruits as well. Some tropical, some not. Pineapples would be cool. Maybe some citrus fruit too. And maybe there could be date palms that can survive growing in the desert sand. But,… I’m just brainstorming. There are a TON of options for fruit. But berries are a must when it comes to the survival aspect. Because berries do grow in the wild in many places.

Kaalus! where you are?
The amazing creative mind is working. All good things are worth waiting for. :)
And when you want to make something awesome, it helps to be patient. Rush someone to make something and it will turn out sloppy. Pictionary is a good example of this. :D
It was far from flattering to have my comment liked by tanya glamhoth. Anyways… it is so weird. There is this eclipse going on. It is so bizarre how the sky is cloudless, but at the same time it is dim as though it were a cloudy day. It’s messing with eyes. XD

Hey Spoon3r! I love your Batcave map! I love all the lights and the piston animations. But my favorite part of this map would be the crossing game’s music! I think that’s the same music in the Battlefield 1 trailer!
I have one suggestion for the game: when we have a torch or a wicker lamp on the hand or the hot bar it should illuminate the environment. It would be useful mainly in caves.
The Isle
500 COMMENTS!!!
So, how about that eclipse yesterday!
I had a partial eclipse still kinda dark were I lived
Yeah. The eclipse was interesting. The sky grew strangely dark as if a storm was rolling in. But the sky was actually cloudless.
I was able to travel to the path of totality, so I was able to see the whole thing. IT WAS UNREAL!!! It turned as dark as if the sun weren’t there, and when you look at it, it’s a black circle surrounded by a fiery yellow ring! Before then it got cooler and darker but once totality hit, it was 5 seconds and it was night! The shadow of the leaves were also weird as they look like little crescents.
That sounds really cool! 8D
I wasn’t directly in the path the of the eclipse, so it didn’t quite get that amazing. But I could tell it was going on. I’ve always wondered what it was like.
Eclipse eh?
Yeah srsly pls change the armour design kaalus
Diamond armour looks too bright, and less intimidating and bold
Yeah. The diamond armor looks pixely. Or gritty. I think it ought to be smooth and a little darker. And I think someone mentioned the helmets looking too pointy at the top. And I would agree. In fact all hats are annoying in this way. If there is a way of smoothening the top of the hats that would be appreciated. Also, something I really love about chain mail is that I can put it underneath a coat and hide it. It would be nice if we had chain mail headpieces and could hide them underneath a hat or helmet. And chain mail leggings too, that could also be hidden under fur leggings.
Btw,… does anyone know how to post pictures on the comments? Or is that even possible?
yeah i was the one who mentioned the pointy top thing.
over coats would be awesome. this can give a good impression of the nomadic tribes like mongols, these would high durability and insulation. and more variety of fur or leather helmets like ushankas.
It has been a month since this post!
All platforms
i saw this build in wurm online. would REALLY like to make something like this in my harmless world. the warm environment throughout the island, ahh i wish id be there.
but gathering the resources would be very tough, it would leave floating leaves around and thats a major visual pollution to our worlds. most trees take a long a time to cut all the wood because of the branches.
maybe add a feature that drops all wood blocks to the ground like sand when we harvest the bottom? but that would spoil ALOT of buildings with logs.
+ Any of you comment dwellers have tips or tricks to harvest these trees easily??
do any of u guys switch to creative to get extra resources??
pls tell me im not alone. i usually switch just to plant trees.
No, that’s just defeating the whole purpose of survival mode. It’s also called “cheating”.
also pls add locks and keys. would be useful for maps
Yes I have supplied myself with stuff. Mostly in worlds I did not create, like Kingdom of Elm or Elswyr. Those are cool worlds if you like Middle Ages sort of stuff. And Elswyr also has fantasy sorts of stuff to. I’ve kept them for forever cause they’re so cool. The architecture is awesome.
And please Nadiv, could you tell me how you posted that pic? I’ve got pictures of worlds I’ve been wanting to post.
There is a way to implement lock and key with electrics. Message me at either the wiki or forum to see…
How about if a log has been in your inventory, it will not fall when placed. If the log was generated or a tree grew naturally, then you cut the tree and the blocks fall. In creative mode, the logs will not fall either. They would only fall when naturally generated. (Generated terrain, grown sapling…)
If you’re having trouble cutting trees, collect leaves to jump into. You can jump and quickly place leaves under yourself to help you up into the tree and get the higher branches. Its how I’ve always done it.
Good idea. And thx for the tip.
The thing I sent before wasn’t a picture. It was a video lol. Some people send Dropbox links for the pictures. (I think)
Btw, do you have the download link for the kingdom of elm? I’ve been searching for it recently for inspiration.
Ugh! I tried copying a photo so I could paste it, but now it doesn’t give me the paste option! 😫
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/vsqohspfkw0v6n2/Kingdom%20of%20Elm.scworld?dl=1
Here it is.
About posting pics, there were pictures way back at the top of this comment string, someone actually posted pictures that were not links. They were visible on their actual comment. It was a picture of a bug they were trying to report where lava wasn’t being fizzled out by water.
All pictures are links, usually dropbox. When you paste a link, it takes time to be moderated and that is why you see only the links and not the picture. when the link is moderated, the picture will show. Just remember that when you post a dropbox link of a picture, chabge the “0” to a “1” at the end of the link, otherwise it won’t show.
Ok
Thanks. :)
Hi, I’m very disappointed by Survivalcraft, it can not be that you can not put out the fire with your hand like it does in Minecraft. Because of this I have lost EVERYTHING. All the progress I’ve made and the hours played have vanished with a single fire. Incredible that you have not put a solution to this serious fault.
That’s why you should back up often…
The nights are longer than the days.
Hey Kaalus you should add “radioactive zones”, which give radiation sickness when entered and the player can craft a radiation suit to protect from exposure. Also radiation pills for a temporary cure would be cool too. Also add a Geiger counter.
I don’t know,… Are there actually natural radioactive zones in real life, or are those always man made? Cause that sounds extremely annoying in survival. I think we could take a break from adding hazardous things. A huge break. Time to add more pleasurable things. Like fishing, new foods to craft and eat, a safe way of boating, improving the AI of horses and other rideable animals, household pets like dogs,… etc. You get the idea. Survival life has become more and more dangerous and when you are defending and healing yourself nonstop, it isn’t as much fun.
I just had an interesting thought about the flu. What if as your level goes up, you are less likely to catch the flu. It would be sort of like your immune system.
Oh yeah, and Nadiv asked me for the Kingdom of Elm… I sent the link for the world, but it is awaiting moderation. Not really sure what that means.
https ://dl.dropbox.com/s/vsqohspfkw0v6n2/ Kingdom%20of%20Elm.scworld?dl= 1
Just remove all the spaces I put there. It should work.
dude thankss
Let me know how you like it. If you haven’t already downloaded Elswyr, you should. It has been one of my all time favorite worlds. It seems like a world you could make awesome adventure maps on. I’m pretty sure it’s still in the top rated.
Kaalus you should rails,trains, and train cars in the next update
Kaalus you should add rails, trains, and train cars in the next update
Kaalus, pls add backpacks. They would have different colors and durability based on their materials. And they would have different storage options. More storage means bigger bags.
They can be equipped and increase inventory space. If their durability goes to zero, they don’t break completely but instead, we are unable to equip it.
Bags would also decrease walking and riding speed.

The original link I sent days ago, maybe even last week,… it is still waiting for moderation after all this time. 😝
I think it would be cool if horses and donkeys could pull carts. And camels and elephants (when added) could have larger packs mounted on them. That way you can bring resources home or to a build site. Or bring back the stuff you’ve mined over time. One way I like to mine is to build a small hut in or near a cave that is rich in resources. Then when my stash of pickaxes have all wore out I pack up everything I mined and go home, leaving all the necessary stuff at the hut. But I can only carry so much home. Many times my inventory is completely stuffed and I have to leave something behind. One thing you can do is put stuff in your crafting spot. (I usually put spare clothes there) But it only gives 4 extra slots. A cart would be very handy in this scenario and others.
I replied to a comment about the eclipse and it said it was awaiting moderation and then just disappeared and never showed up. Not sure what moderation means?
The comment finally showed up after 2 weeks
this must be a awesome or amazing update
Hey Kaalus, I think you should add railroad tracks, train cars, and train engines (electric, diesel, steam) in the next feature update. Reply if you agree!
Yes! Trains! An awesome thing! 8D
And maybe hot air balloons. /:)
I think a great feature for 2.2 would be direct access to the forums and blogs just like the community content.
I have a few suggestions for the eventual 2.2 update.
1) add a feature called: “Fire does not spread” Or the ability to turn off lightening, or add a new item called: “Lightening rod” that casts an area of protection around a certain amount of blocks. This area would be safe from lightening strikes, and the higher up you build it, the larger the area of protection is. I suggest these because I hate it when my house burns down due to lightening strikes, and it seems to happen more frequently since recent updates.
2) Torches create light when holding them. This has always been something I have desired from a survival game. I would like to hold a torch, and have it light up the area immediately around me.
4) Flashlight. Essentially the same as number three, but with the ability to turn it on and off.
Thanks for hearing me out, and thanks for making the game.

where’s number 3?
Lightning really does need to be toned down. It makes permanent holes in WATER (!), leaves holes in the ground, sets forests and cities on fire. It is the most destructive element in the game. Instead, he made it even MORE destructive!
To reduce the chance of burning your city down
1. Never use flammable materials for roofing or anything that is exposed directly to sky (basalt is best).
2. Keep all flammables (trees) at least 5 blocks away from any flammable walls.
Mama mia here we go again
Lythronax
On point 1: I don’t like the idea of making lightning optional because it isn’t realistic. And I also feel like it’s cheating. I had posted a solution to the fire early on in this string of comments. Normal lightning would cause an explosion, but wouldn’t catch things on fire. Then there would be rare incendiary lightning. And the key word is RARE. Let me emphasize that word. What also should happen is fire will not spread while it’s raining. It just makes sense. And to balance out the difficulty, rain will also cause campfires to fizzle out if they are small. If they are large enough they should simply go out faster.
On point 2: Lightning rods can be useful, but they still don’t fix the original problem. They are good for protecting structures, but they won’t be useful for protecting whole forests.
On point 3-4: I think flashlights and torches are a great idea. And as far as I’m aware, Minecraft has no such thing. So this is an opportunity! :)
i don’t like the fact that the campfires’ combustion doesn’t serve any purpose to food cooking. Also, eggs should have the ability to be cooked using furnaces too, maybe give less nutrition than being boiled in water buckets.
Hmmm… imagine if you could have a second hand like on minecraft, (I have never owned minecraft, but I have some friends who do) what if you could hold a shield, which would greatly improve your fighting health, at the cost of movement speed and ability to jump. Imagine if you could hold a torch in this second hand, that would always be lit. Imagine the potential!
Block Story does a good job at that.
That all makes sense
Also when u hunt fish using your spear is ridiculous when u throw the spear into the fish it will not impale the fish like in real life that would have been better than fishing rods
Right?
I now suggest that there should be more visual and behavioral performance and enhancement improvements in the game by the next update, if not, then new features are always appreciated, Kaalus.
I will update mine to this version too! So excited!
Btw, for the next update, I may suggest fixing the tree generation thing that when you plant a tree and it grows, it consumes the dirt, which is a disadvantage if you have stayed in just one island. This may make planting trees harder, unless you can make a tree grow by using a sapling above the last wood of a certain tree, like oak saplings above oak wood, etc.
I see what you mean about the dirt on islands. But if you do some kind of major construction on your island, like building a house for instance, you will probably get a lot of spare dirt. I don’t actually get rid of my dirt, and one of the things I use it for is filling in the holes from trees that I’ve cut.
Everything in the game has a cost, just like real life. Trees grow into the ground rather than just float on the surface, like some other games…
BUG REPORT
Is anyone else having this problem? Burning coal blocks are disappearing after a time!
Now that staying warm is more critical than ever, the main source for heating my structures is the ‘eternal’ burning coal block but that is failing. Why?
We have a shared world that gets built partly in creative and partly in cruel. It seems that coal blocks placed and started during creative *do* burn forever but every one placed during cruel *disappear* after a number of days. This makes it impossible to set up truly safe zones. Is the game really forcing us to build *only* in deserts? That is unacceptable!
It’s really becoming no surprise as to why activity here and at both the wiki and the forums has virtually completely died. The new mechanics although well intentioned, are still severely unbalanced against the survival mode player…
I created a huge sign with wirethorough blocks, wires, switch and lightbulbs. Surrounded with burning coal blocks. Some minutes later, some of burning coal blocks disappeared, but the disapperaring effect and sizzle sound stilled there, like when the thunder hit a tree, but you leave the tree, and when you come back, you see flames in the air.
And for encore, some wirethorough block disappeared too. I separated the burning coal blocks from wirethorough blocks with colored granite blocks, like this:
burning coal block
colored granite block
colored granite block
wirethorough block
But sometimes some granite and wirethorough block disappeared too, but the disapperaring effect and sizzle sound stilled there.
I was in creative mode.
Woah! Now this is bizarre! For weeks now, every time I checked this site, the last post was #83. Now all of a sudden, all these other post just showed up! Is wordpress having compatibility problems with firefox??? Or am I slippin’ into the twilight zone?
Yes, it is having compaitibility problems. In the past half hour, it’s crashed firefox a dozen times… Sheesh
The app is great, one thing that will make it better is if you can use any generic usb game pad to play the game considering they all have the same generically placed buttons as an xbox or ps3 controller that way people don’t need to spend a lot of money on an out dated ps3 controller or xbox controller. If usb game pads were to be added, then people who do pc gaming would be able to use the same controller that they use for other pc games rather than having to go to the store and buying a new one. Once again, this app is great, greater than minecraft I would say, but I believe this would put it over the top.
One thing I’ve been wanting to mention for a long time now,… and didn’t because I forgot, was about the spawning of certain animals. Lions spawn in every biome there is, and this just isn’t right! There are no lions in tundras! Tigers, yes. But having lions spawn in the snow is as absurd as coyotes on an ice sheet. Oh, that’s right! Lions and tigers spawn on ice sheets too! Absurd! Polar bears and wolves are fine and realistic, but lions and tigers spawn literally everywhere! We new to cut it down! Tigers can spawn in snow, lions should not. Lions should not spawn in jungle and lush places either, and again the tigers can. But I think tigers should should not spawn in the desert. That is the one where lions SHOULD be.
*need
Basically we need to separate our jungle and savana animals. They have been mixed.
Are you sure they are actually spawning there or thay following you into those areas?
CHINGA TU MADRE KAALUS
Glamhoth! Cormlle naa lost. Lle awra elear atara. Sut wethrin! Aghast I am! This very thing fuels my love for fictional worlds, and the hatred of my own. But it will end. It will end and glamhothrim will be no more.
May we speak of useful things? We are a committee. We cooperate together and improve the game. This is something few games have. We are here to feed more ideas into a great artist. I doubt adding ‘ — tu madre’ to the game would improve it at all. *snort* 😤
I’m anxious to hear GOOD ideas. While we wait for Kaalus, we should brainstorm. If we do, it is more power to him, and to SC.
If there’s one thing I’d like cool ideas on, it is ocean exploration. Anyone have any ideas? And it could be over or under the surface. Or new (non-dangerous) ocean animals. Ideas on new kinds of food would be great too. You guys just throw something cool in there.
He should add dolphins,corals,seals,penguins,marlin,sardines,some game fishes
Yehey!!! 600+ commwnts this means for a celebration!!!
Prince depedro is marko diaz!!!!
Test
Test wut?
I have suggested this before on a previous post, but what if there were to be a thirst meter on the character. The character would carry around a leather water pouch and would have to drink boiled water to avoid sickness. Another thing that I think would be useful would be wooden buckets that wear out. That way people don’t have as hard a time trying to find copper but if they want one that wont wear out then they would have to. Another more thing that I would like to see is something like a bycicle. It would wear out the character’s stamina but won’t be begging for grass or running away. One more suggestion would be a rope you could tie around your horse and a fence, that way you could keep your horse in one place. Let me know if you guys think these ideas are good.
Yes. I like all those ideas! Both moisology’s and kakashi’s. Penguins is something I’ve never considered, it would be cute to have penguins. And dolphins. And with the boiling water thing, being able to cook over a campfire would become essential to the game. And the point you made about wooden buckets was a good too. Another thing I think would be good, is rain coats. Something you can wear to keep you dry, but can be worn over a sweater or under a coat, or somehow you can keep both warm and dry at the same time.
Also penguins as a christmas update in SC because sc is quite lacking a bit arctic snow animals so he should add penguins as an easy food source for the snow or winter,and dolphins too
Glad to see people still posting nonsense here, and glad to see people keeping kaalus’ blog activity up for months now.
Yeah like me ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Also a big survivalcraft fan!!!!
BUG REPORT
Placed leaf blocks are disappearing within seconds of being placed, even if they ‘connect’ to a living wood block. This is making harvesting of tall trees exceedingly dangerous!
Blocks spinning too
The spinning blocks are called pickables, which in this case should disappear, because IRL if you throw away an item you can’t certainly know if you will find it there or not the next time you come there. I am not sure if that’s the exact explaination, but what I do know is that pickables are supposed to disappear after a period of time.
Im not talking about the pickables im talking about the pickables spinning and floating around which scares the crap out of me
FFS
BUG REPORT
The animal spawning has serious problems.
1. They do not seem to despawn as they did. I can leave an area for many, many days and when I return the very same (huge) wolf packs are still in the same area. Not just wolves but all creatures. This can be helpful at times because the horse I neglect for weeks at a time will still be waiting for me, but so will the predators piled up outside the door…
2. The wolf packs get so huge that they reach the limit of creatures the game allows (27) and no other creature can then spawn (or be spawned). Since they also don’t despawn, the entire world starts looking like it’s all flea infested, but with wolves! They end up forcing all other creatures away from the area, either by predating them or just by their own population pressure.
1. Yeah that was meant to add challenge and add some extra danger~
2. yeah that is a glitch, food animals will de-spawn forever once they move out of your visual range. All dangerous animals will remain there forever and ever waiting to kill you or any cows and such you bring into the area. One feature that was added that made things better is you can place cobblestone or any “non-natural” block down and creatures can not spawn on top of them. Not sure if the de-spawn mechanic is linked, but that is something you can do to stop animals from randomly spawning in your area.
I think animals you have captured should never de-spawn. I don’t like going on a long journey, and coming back to find my favorite animals gone without a trace. It is very upsetting. Minecraft did that to my horses and I was extremely angry. The predator thing happens to me too. I had to make it part of my daily routine to go around my house killing all the panthers, bears, lions, and wolves. I can keep their numbers down to almost zero, but I shouldn’t have to do it THAT often. What should happen is that the same predators that ran off once morning came should come back, instead of new ones spawning and running off in the morning and adding to the collection.
I ran some tests before 2.1 and determined that as long as you got within 40 blocks of your animals, at least every 24 days, they would not deswapn. This made sense – it was like you had to tend to them or they would starve. No, you didn’t have to actually feed them but at least had to ‘visit’ them. It’s unrealistic to have your penned animals live forever without attention. Especially if it means the wild animals also stick around forever.
There really is no way for the game to tell which animals are free-roaming and which are desired ones, except for ones we’ve put saddles on. Perhaps if we could ‘mark’ animals then the game could tell them apart. But Kaalus would have to add new behaviours for ‘kept’ animals so they don’t just run off and join their bretheren.
At least the wolf overpopulation problem is better than the lion overpopulation bug in 1.27-2.0
Yes it does make sense if they are penned, but what about pastured animals. Obviously the animals survive in the wild and find food, if your pasture is big enough then they can find food for themselves. And I think it should be the way it works in Minecraft, (or the way Minecraft says it works even though it doesn’t) that when you name an animal it will not despawn.
Naming them would be one way to distinguish wanted animals. Another would be to brand them. Any way for the game to tell them apart should work. If we could brand them and maybe even design the brand, then multiple players could tell their animals apart from other players’ animals.
Kind of a weird ask here, but could you enable us to paint leaves? That way i can create autumn looking trees in my forest. Also, wind swishing leaves and grass would be nice, the world seems so still and dead.
Yes seasons won’t be happening, at least not until we get more food/a way to store food for long term. Winter is NEVER coming in survival craft.
Kaalus is full of surprises, so who knows. I think seasons are needed to morivate me to keep playing, so i can look forward to summer and fall. Food preservation is also important though. Seasons is the most needed thing now in my opinion.
In the winter it freezes, and frozen food is preserved food. :)
But frozen food would take longer to cook which will use more fuel.

Hey guys whatsup
Nothing new… Just waiting for the next update…
Trololil
Or for Kaalus to post…
December i guess idunno
Have you ever heard of vacations? Yeah. Kaalus could be in one. We just have to wait.
I know me too. I hate waiting. I’m feeling worried about Kaalus. Well, trust me. I have experienced this so many times for the past two years.
I know, so annoying yet really boring seeing the latest post: “All Platforms”
If you are looking for something to do while waiting, visit the forum and start some conversations. That is a real discussion forum, this isn’t. Or, help the wiki update their articles to 2.1
I guess that Kaalus is busy in real life or maybe on vacation… Well another period of silence from Kaalus I think…
Well, is not new and also we do know that usually Kaalus returns roughly at December so we just need to be patient…
BTW… Everything OK, you guys?
ready for the next free game? Survivalcraft 2 will be 1 year old as well.
Anyone know of a good rustic furniture pack? I need one for my northern winter cabin. Im terrible at making it though..
Hmm. No. I haven’t actually explored furniture packs. And I don’t think I’ve made any myself that would be along those lines. Sorry I can’t help.
I’ve make furniture packs “to order” sometimes. Go to the official forums and start a new topic in the furniture forum, and I’ll respond there to see what you’re looking for.
Alright, i’ll see if i can do that.
Hello everyone! I’d like to thank many of you who have been enjoying and downloading my map PVP SC BY SJ.
And as a reward for you all, I added new features to my map! This will really make you have fun without waiting and looking at the bored “ALL PLATFORMS” title.
Backstory:
Captain John, the person responsible for marooning you “on the shores of an infinite blocky world”, has just found your fighting playground. A vaguely powerful storm has blown the ship off the ocean into the land of Shiapan island, surrounded with nothing but dry flat desert uncovering strange ancient artifacts like the newly discovered center of the flat of Shiapan that used to be an old fighting arena. Trees were planted, forts were built and Walter and his friends have survived waking up in the middle of nowhere in a bunker, filled with all different powers from different people around the world. Now, they will learn and embrace the fighting powers of battle. But this time, with the appearance of John’s Ship.
*Choose your kit, play with your friends and show em’ who’s boss. It’s that simple.
Changelog:
• Added John’s Shipwreck
• Added Platformed huts that also consist of secret parkour trails that lead you up to the ship’s deck.
• Added 4 new kits: Captain John, Bukaneer, Flibustier, Ninja.
• Added certain rare discoverable armor loot in chests.
Link: h ttps://dl.dropbox.com/s/wdzelrss53johxn/PVP%20by%20SJ%20Plus.scworld?dl=1
(REMOVE THE SPACE BETWEEN H & T)
Please share it to your friends if you enjoy this map. Like, tell them about it, play it together. You will have great fun!
Deal?
If I see a 5 star rating average = New features in the map immediately!
So rate if you love it!
Have a great day everybody!
You can make world posts on the forum that people can subscribe to. Then you can add pics, links, and people won’t have to scroll this aging post to find your updates if they subscribe to your post. Just a thought. :)
I know, but I just did here to cheer up the everyone who’s bored waiting for a new post.
😊
Do you know the map PVP SC BY SJ?
Don’t worry about Kaalus. For the past few years now he has taken long absences as he develops. He’s the only developer of SC and it’s getting pretty robust. Yes we’ll probably see another post closer to the holidays.
If you’d like to engage more regularly with fellow players, as Stanimous has pointed out the official forum is a great place. Also the wiki. There are links up top. There are lots of resources, builders, electrics gurus, and community world builders on the forum. And it has a staff to crack down on spammers and trolls. Go check it out.
hi, my name is pipe,i speak spanish, i have a problem with the forum of SC, i don’t know use, because is in english, can you explain me how tu use, THX, sorry for this english
670 Comment!
Queremos actualisacion.
Quiero actualizacion
I want upgrade
Please add bugs and insects to survival craft. Let roaches spawn around rotten meat
yes, i said that last time, but anything, sorry for this english, please kaalus, agreed this
I have a great idea for a new supernatural creature, the Wendigo. Here is the campfire version of the lore: 🔥 In the cold woods of Canada and northern U.S, lurks a monster. It was once human, but after running out of food, it turned to his family and ate them. Such a morbid crime stained his spirit so much, that he lost his mind and ran off into the woods. Its metabolism is so fast, that when it eats a human, he becomes hungry again in a few minutes. Its bones are visible through its skin which is gray as death. Its eyes are sunk into its face and almost lifeless. It is also essentially immortal. 🔥
Kaalus, do you think that this would be a cool addition to your game?
kaalus died again everyone. i think its official.
Its only been 2 months
exactly
Can someone update med creative? Please. Thank you.
I think that adding a Wendingo is one step closer to Minecraft. :(
Wearwolves are enough guys. I mean, I guess I can’t help but have my own exceptions, being a Tolkien fan. I always thought it would be cool if there were creatures from Lord of the Rings. Like Balrogs, giant spiders, Rock Trolls, Orcs, Giant Eagles, Ents, Dragons, Oliphonts,… etc. Although I don’t doubt there are mods for that sort of thing. But as long as there are good mods for those things, we don’t need to add those to real SC. If you want scary creatures, get mods or something. It is better that way because if people don’t want that thing they don’t have to have it. And those that do want it can just get it by other means.
Customization. :)
I don’t want survival too fantasy..i just want it to be realistic….(∩_∩)
Add Bluetooth multiplayer
Heh I wish
. .ladies and gentleman ,for a year think of an update which can travel other dimension…..but it ridiculous because it not real….and because I don’t want survival craft to copy 100% Minecraft … I suggested to add TRAVEL TO MOON UPDATE 2.2 XD…what you guys think.pls leave a reply.
.
.
Also to make more realistic…add SEASON!!
Ooooh!! Space travel! I like it! 8D
Although, could there be any practical reason to go to the moon? I still like the idea anyway. Also, there is a problem…. XD
The world is infinite, and the moon is round, meaning the moon would not be infinite and looking down at “infinite” earth will be, um, well I’m not sure what you’d see logically. Some huge flat thing that stretches miles in all directions? 🤔 That’s a big puzzle! XD
DO NOT ADD SPACE TRAVEL TO THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!! It would ruin the survival aspect of the game. Instead, make a whole new game like no man’s sky where you hop planets, explore and create with the same blocky gameplay as Minecraft. But if you were to do this, it might not be able to work on a mobile device (or at least mine). But it would be a really cool idea!
It’s a good idea. But some years ago he said about go to civilaztion, and I think that would be a nice idea to add tribes. But SC needs a reach to goal, something that we need work hard to reach (for example: in MC you can kill the dragon, but for it you’ll need find lava, make the portal, kill blazes, kill endermans, and so on). SC it’s pretty awesome in creative, but need improvements in survival
Well one end goal is fine, but several games have goals you can reach as your progress/related rewards. For example: Take 300 hp damage and get a copper helmet (this is Sparta) achievement, or milk 10 cows and get a bucket. Some achievements like this and the goals can get longer/crazier, but still do-able.
Milk 25 cows: get cowboy hat, Milk 100 cows: get saddle and cavalry boots
Craft: 10 machetes get a machete, Craft: 40 machetes: get a copper spear, Craft: 100 machetes get a diamond machete
Just “fun” challenges and prizes for the players’ troubles, also gives players something to reach for if they’re a “Completionist”.
I’ve been mentioning that a lot… like too many times… achievements could be generally simple, useful and encouraging.
At least I hope Kaalus goes creative with the puns in the achievement titles. That would be number one necessity.
Winning the items as reward could be unrealistic even though it would be fun. Maybe gain a level or experience could be useful as a reward. What do you think?
Perhaps, instead of ‘winning’ items, we can unlock the better recipes. Block Story does a pretty good job of this. In order to get a higher ranking tool, you first have to use the beginner’s rank tool for so long. I.e., once you break 500 blocks with a wooden pick, then the stone pick recipe is unlocked. And so forth.
Nah, I think it should be the opposite. Cowboy hat, saddle, etc. in order to milk cows. How are you supposed to trap and milk cows if you don’t look like a cowboy?
I have noticed while building with a lot of furniture, there are odd entities that appear in the game like glitches. Here is the rundown of the story. I created custom blocks to build a church, I had to use a lot of them for things such as columns and decorative blocks. As a result, some of the blocks have become transparent, others have entities moving around inside them, and there is a linear black dash that appears in the middle of the room. If this bug can be fixed, it will help me out a lot in building my city.
Kaalus told us: do not use furniture for building.
If you put a lot of item into one chunk, the glitches will appear.
So, when you use too much furniture design, this will happen.
It’s an old problem.
And i think, it will never be fixed…..
It’s a rendering complexity limit and not just limited to furniture. It can be reached with an extremely complex build, without any furniture or electrics. Furniture and electrics just make us hit that limit quicker.
It’s actually been in the game from the start or at least very long ago. So it’s unlikely to be dealt with in the near future.
Exactly? We discussed that like a hundred times… heh
consider I didn’t put that question mark. That was accidental.
Some people find it easier to just complain and hope somebody else gives them the answer, rather than doing the research theirself.
Or, they’re so new to the game that they had no clue it was an existing problem.
What did I complain about? All I asked is if the bug can be fixed. You could have just said “no” period. Furthermore, I’ve played survival craft since it first came out, I just haven’t read the post considering I only recently created a wordpress account.
I didn’t mean to cause offense. Sorry for that. I did say ‘some people’ and it is true.
Clearly, you fall into the second category of, “I just didn’t know”.
This bug has plagued nearly every major electric builder, furniture user and even some ‘regular’ builders, from the beginning. We all wish the game could do better here!
You’ll see who’s causing offense very soon.
I thought I am the only one who is had that kind of bug.It also happen while i was building a castle.Pls Pls pls fix this major bug in the next update…
Why do you want multiplayer? http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=59e256d5e4b036a938d4f6c6
Just so I can know why everyone wants it so badly, and maybe someone important might read it.
Where is our Kaalus?
hey kaalus, so I have a question about the view distance! Why can’t the players that are running on a PC have a max render distance of 1024 blocks? Even if some pc’s can’t handle it makes you want to have the pc surivalcraft. Now you can already do this by some file manupliation or something but wouldn’t it be nice to have it anyway? Or make a system that trackes how much ram you have, then locks you donw to that!
Like how mcpe does it, it trackes your ram then gives you a good render distance that you dont lag in!
Because some PC’s just can’t do that. Haven’t you thought of the PC users from 2005????
windows 8 and 10 arent from 2005
I feel like proas(small maneuverable sail boats) should be added in order to move faster by water. With faster boats, people would have an easier time traveling from island to island.
And PLEASE! Sharks should NOT be able to bite through boats! At least not all kinds of boats. And only the biggest sharks or the smarter kinds of sea life (orcas for instance) should be able to even bite through a wooden boat. The idea that piranhas could sink a wooden boat isn’t absurd. Same goes for barracudas.
*is absurd
autocorrect 🙄
Why did kaalus disappear? I’m surprised that kaalus didn’t show up for so long. Maybe kaalus is going to do something else, isn’t it?
BORED…
U didnt make anything for a long time is there something wrong?
Pls we r waiting for something new.
Maybe he wants to surprise us. :)
I just hope he reads our comments so that our requests and good ideas don’t get lost in this endless stream. :(
All the comments here … are lost. http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=59e256d5e4b036a938d4f6c6
Usually when he takes a while, he comes up with something good, just look at how long he took to create the new biomes.
You can all chill and relax. Maybe watch Rick and Morty as you wait patiently for the update.
Have patience, brother.

Kaalus, please change the armour design into something better, we look weird with pointy hats and light blue armour. And also, please add tunics, or overcoats.
Also add shields please!
I love ur work! I have a couple of suggestions but i don’t know where to put them.
1 pistons don’t work with dispensers and chests
2 it would be nice if wires of different colours dont link to each other but only to wiers of the same colour.
3 please make a block that is like “wire trough stone” but with wires on 4-6 sides it will be great if u make things with wires and pistons
4 a see trough block with high resistance would be nice, like bulletproof glass
5 make crocodiles an aviable animal :D
A pit full of crocodiles looks scarier
Those would be nice, but not number 5!
I am the biggest noob in the world of surivalcraft. I have never made a bucket simply because I could never find copper. I always threw away malachite because I thought it was useless. I finally found out that malachite cooked is copper and just about quit after all my time of trying to bake bread xD
Don’t worry, that experience is actually showing that you’re becoming a more experienced player, the more you learn, the more you’ll avoid, the more you’ll avoid, the more you survive, the more you survive, the more progress you make, the more you die, the more you become better. Practice makes perfect and no pro became one without making a lot of mistakes.
The thing that bugs is that I don’t have enough time to do the things to survive. I always dig underground and hide there, covering the open spot with some leaves so I can see the light. But I am already starving and my food are rotten. I can’t go out to hunt cause it’s dangerous and dark there. I tried to sleep but I accidently tapped while I was sleeping, now I can’t go to sleep because “I am not tired enough”.
If you jump in place for a little, he’ll get tired quicker. Then you can get back to sleep.
Yeah I do that too, but it still annoys me.
Survival is not fun any more, it’s just stressing the hell out of me. The daytime should at least last 30 minutes, I know it’s a lot but we would have so much more time for experience and get things done. I could already build a small house in day one.
Survival is meant to be stressful – it’s SURVIVAL, after all. Not “Chilling in your cabin.”
It would be extremely unrealistic if you could build a house on the first day of a survival situation. It would be unrealistic if you could do it in the first few weeks!
People really like to overuse the word “realistic”. If that’s really the case here, then I guess the player shouldn’t be able to break wood (or pretty much any block) with their bare hands. Of course survival is meant to be stressful, but with that short amount of time, it’s nearly impossible to do anything. You are saying it wouldn’t be realistic to build a house in the first day, but not everything has to be realistic. You can’t compare a video game logic to reality. It’s doesn’t matter how much well-developed or how much “realistic” it is, it’s still a game.
The point is that this is a survival situation game. If you could build a house on your first day, then it’s pointless to call it ‘survival’. Kaalus makes a point of being as ‘realistic’ as reasonable in a blocky game.
I’ve made your same point – that I’ve never met anyone who could punch a mature tree in half! However, there IS the adventure mode, where you can NOT simply punch a tree for wood.
I’ve also made your other point, in that a 10 minute daytime is too short. Many others have as well. I don’t agree that a 30 minute day is preferred but perhaps a 20 minute daytime would let us get much more done but still not be too long…
Well you don’t necessarily have to build a house right away, I just used that as an example. But I agree, 20 minutes is at least enough for the players, I was crazy when I said 30 minutes.
Take a shot, everytime I say “realistic”.
Just remember that ‘overuse’ is your opinion and others may disagree with you…
This IS meant to be a more realistic game than the mainstream one.
(After a few more ‘realistics’, you should be quietly passed out drunk… LOL)
To me it’s just a challenge and it very fun after you survive for long period without dying. If it’s stress you out like hell…play survival in harmless game mode.I’m already level 8 while playing in cruel game mode and I’m just okey……I didn’t mean to show off but it still possible to survive with more effort and skill (ALTHOUGH I DIED BECAUSE SUFFOCATED BY A DIRT WHILE RIDDING A DONKEY) BUGS…😑😑
In 1.27 before malachite was copper, and we before he did the mineral reduction I had so much malachite I began just throwing it away. I also had a whole chest of diamonds and chest fulls of ores. If I had known about what would happen later, I probably wouldn’t have thrown away so much
And *way* before
2.2 is most likely not going to be here until next year. Perhaps not even an updating post. Kaalus may have something special, or he may not.
He always has something special! XD
Nope. It’ll be out before Christmas probably.
My advice to everyone is to just play maps if you want to play Survivalcraft but you’re waiting for new news about feature 2.2
I have been thinking a bit about the graves. He should have deserted dwellings, eg:Mud huts in the wasteland, hunting houses in the plains, igloo on ice sheets etc. I was also thinking that under terrain generation he could have volcanoes spawn occasionally in the extreme hills, and exceedingly rarely, a kimberlite pipe with diamond ores. Sulfur crystals could be collected from the volcanoes. Some other ideas of mine would require a higher terrain level, but I was thinking about canyons and waterfalls. And please, MORE FOODS!! In reality no-one would be able to survive too long on pumpkin, meat and bread. Maybe a cake, using a wild sugarcane, by first making dough using eggs and syrup, then baking it, and finally icing it with more syrup. And thornbushes could also spawn in the savanna as well as quicksand in some marshy areas. A toggle-able hydration bar? But so far, even though I have only known the game a year, I am hyped for the next update, and really enjoying the game.
Graves were meant to be a test and prelude to something ‘more’. Hopefully, he finally decided to explore that ‘more’ and will be giving us more generated structures. All other blocky sandbox games have them and if he wants to keep interest in this game (does he???), he needs to do something even better than those other games…
I’m currently doing a vegetarian challenge, only pumpkins, pumpkin soup, bread and milk is my diet.
Haha! Fun idea! XD
Nice idea, that’s an actually interesting idea!
He about also never kill a single animal included in the vegetarian challenge? 😂 that would be impossible! And weird but actually makes sense so who would do include it in the veg diet too?
For high end devices Kailua should really add 512 blocks, I think it’s worth it since that she max mcpc can do. Also remove 288 block render distance and add 384, 448 and 512. Something like a one plus 5 can handle it easily and since suevivalcraft has amazing performance I could see it in 2.2. But no i think 32 bit system have 4gb limi, so 1024 blocks will be for pcs. 512 blocks any pc can run easily.
He died again.
Hey I had a few ideas on Survivalcraft 2.2 or future updates. These are just ideas I thought would liven up the Survivalcraft worlds. Hope you guys like it!☺
please Mr. kaalus adds the multiplayer in interconnection transmitted to lan by playing two is very complicated in a small cell also bothers a lot the back and has errors that sometimes mix screens
more animals and also the children and I’m your fan number 1
I been playing Survival Craft for a while now. I haven’t downloaded Survival Craft 2 yet. What you should add on the 2.2 update is the 4 seasons; winter, spring, summer, & autumn. You can add Maple trees and the palm trees. You can also add new animals like foxes, wild deers, and squirrels. You should fix the clouds where they block the sunlight a bit. You could add a couple christmas decorations like wreaths & stockings. I hope you try your best to put those ideas on there. I’m excited for the new update your making.
This game is my favorite IOS game. The cruel mode in the new version is quite challenging, I love it! I have tried local multiplayer, but playing with gamepads is pretty tedious. If it had real multiplayer (even bluetooth) many kids like my girls would play SC more than Minecraft. But they cannot be bothered with the gamepads :(.
So many things are done so well in this game…in my last cruel game a shark beaches itself and I got tons of fish. Had a great start, but then on day 3 I was chopping a tree and didn’t check my surroundings …boom Panther kills me. Frustrating, but fun
Yes. Once I got so far that I began to build a castle for myself. Unfortunately that required being up in high places, and in my case, falling from high places. XD
Kaalus, I have some suggestions. Don’t you think it would be a good idea if you can add some npc human in the game? Because I feel a little lonely being the only human in the game. So I think it would be a great and more realistic if you could add native tribes along with their structures like houses.. Just like the villagers in minecraft.. But this time not villages but tribes.. And also a cannibal tribe would be a good idea too.. And please can you add something like breeding animals in the game?? And support a local hotspot multiplayer..
But thats just suggestions.. I hope in the future those ideas could be added on updates.. Thanks
I think what an earlier comment said is right (sorry can’t remember which comment), with all the other updates, we need an exploration update. If it is possible to put in maps I know many people would use them a lot. I would, due to the fact that I like playing on island terrain gen, with a large size, but always wanted a way to be able to map the island. The generated structures would also encourage exploration. More biomes and biome specific foods (eg: prickly pear in deserts, certain fruits and berries in forests) would also encourage people to explore, even just to look at the world. And this is rather off topic, but should a basic grappling hook be implemented, or would it be too hard to get to work well?
I agree with qarabinaka.. Adding different generated structure and biomes that contains a certain treasures and products that don’t exist somewhere else ( but remains realistic ) could motivate us to explore the map.. For example, like what I mentioned before , TRIBES and other structures.. Because now.. We only explore the map searching for food.. So if you don’t like the idea of the furnace-like block at least you could make breeding possible for ALL animals.. That realism you know.. Thanks..
Kaalus, Please Add Multiplayer on WIFI and LAN.
And also kaalus. Can you add the THIRST in survival craft.. I guess you can add Clean Water then when stored for so long becomes contaminated.. And also.. The way to prolong the food from rotting. After it has been cooked.. Because you cant really store more food just because it gets spoiled too fast.. I guess you can add another block that works simmilar to the furnace but uses ice block or snow balls instead of coal.. And its purpose is to preserve food and prevents it from spoiling.. But also just like how furnace use up coal.. This furnace-like block also use up ice block and snowballs.. But longer, more like this: 20 snowballs last 1day of preserving then get used up.. Then you can add a recipe to make ice blocks in survival mode so it could be used to last longer.. I hope you could add these features in SC to make it more realistic in your future updates..
Anyway I just want to thank you for your none-stop hard work just to give us along with my fellow survivalcraft players a wonderful survivalcraft experience.. I hope you won’t stop bringing us happiness through fulfilling our requests.. I sincerely thank you..
Sorry for my English.. I hope you get what I mean..
Just downloaded the new Survivalcraft 1.x update
Where u download it…
Most of this is update requests for horses, but you should add more colors and breeds, make hay bales, english and western saddles, make tack able to take off.
And besides the horse stuff, yo should make wolves tameable and we can have dogs as pets
Happy thanksgiving my American bros
I ave some ideas for the next upate 2.2; diferent sounds for swapping/switching to an item in the hotbar [swords should/would have a realistice drawing sound] a new sound for switching to an empty slot in the hotbar. new footstep sounds and breaking sounds to sound more realistice. diferent sounds for placing diferent blocks. diferent sounds for diferent plants growing. a sound when an item is crafted. new rain and thunder sounds to sound more realistice. new fire sounds to sound more realistice. new water and lava sounds to sound more realistice. new swimming sounds to sound more realistice. realisitice sword sounds. a new sound for rowing boats. new door sounds, new trapdoor sounds and new fence gate sounds. {would have a different sound between iron and wood}. realistice sound physhics. a new exniting sound for matches.
an option to enable and disable the furniture feature.
improved first person view and a few new character animations. seastars being a food source. new ores {limonite} shields {wood, stone, iron, copper, diamond and limonite} 13% less trees in forests an option to go to 20+ on the sea slider option.
750
Me gustaría que añadiera la pesca, la sed y un tipo de recipiente para que la comida no se pudra tan deprisa.
Muy buen juego.
GUYS THERE IS A 90% CHANCE FOR KAALUS TO POST SOMETHING ABOUT 2.2 ON CHRISTMAS
Rip kaalus?
Nah, he’ll be back either before Christmas, or around spring. He always works in silence like this, or takes a long brake like this.
Yes and he said that he is working on a new game for christmas
Might get Multiplayer for Christmas … then we can have hell on survival, death to newbs.
Or better… a GIANT survival update. I keep running out of things to do
Yeah sucks for me, I don’t have any friends or atleast the ones that would play with me.
With an honest online multiplayer, we could start a board at the forum just for people to find others to play with. We don’t need a costly server, either. If he implemented it well, any device could host a world and the owner could invite and allow only those s/he wanted.
If all parties also ran a chat service app, like discord, they can communicate in real time as well.
I didn’t think about that. That sounds really interesting.
Real time chat so we can hear other people cuss when they die, but yes a local invite system so only a single device contains the “world” would be good. I would like there to be a limited world on a server with thousands of player, but that’s asking for too much.
need iphonne x support
Can this comment get like at least 1 reply :)
Why do some comments take more than three weeks to post, I am still waiting for some of my comments to appear that I posted in the beginning of November 🤔
Love the ideas. I would absolutely love a grappling hook, if it can be done. I haven’t played SC in a long time. I find myself playing MC instead, and I think the reason for that is for the adventure element of it. The world is almost a quest in of itself. In SC the sequence for adventure goes…
1. Need to find shelter for the night.
2. Need to find food.
3. Find place to settle.
4. Build your house.
5. Expand your farm and your collection of valuables.
And that is where it ends. For MC it follows those same lines except it goes beyond that. You do all those 5 things so you can….
6. Build an armory so you can…
7. Go on a quest to find ancient structures or…
8. Discover hidden treasures or…
9. Travel to another world.
I don’t especially love the idea of portals, but I would love for there to be some greater adventure. I am a Tolkien/Middle Earth fan. I would just fall in love with a block/build theme game like this that incorporates lord of the rings theme things, both the friendly and the unfriendly things.
I had mentioned before that we need an exploration update. Say, a bunch of unique structures (like Block Story) or a rare village (like MC). Or even rare biomes. Something to make us want to go explore the world!
I see the rivers as a first baby step. The ‘crazy’ mountains could have been something too, but they aren’t tall enough or crazy enough to make me want to go around mountain shopping.
Ancient structures WITH hidden treasures sounds good and super rare, really weird biomes could be almost like ‘another world’…
Yes! I love the way you put it. Mountain shopping! 🤣 Love it!
Stanimus – I found an interesting seed… I tried “Mojang” with no quotes. After spawn turn to your right and follow the coastline crossing rivers / creeks, collect pumpkins and raid tombs, until you get to a large sand mountain. Everything in this seed seems exaggerated. Your gonna face some cold areas (despite all that sand) so dress warmly. Coal for torches is there, complex cavern systems, copper and iron, and easy access to flat plains area. +1
COOOOOOLL GAME!!
Hi there guys. Support this guy’s videos. He is a Minecraft Youtuber (Eckosoldier) that has begun playing SC. This is episode 13:
A few MC players has even bought SC after watching this. It is not bad at all.
Sorry, Ep 14
He needs to grow up
He seems to be alright, needs to become more “pro”, but so do many on here. I “beat” survival craft so I guess I’m pro enough to say this.
I am watching this series now and supporting the channel. It’s nice!
Well, in the past years Kaalus usually released an update before Christmas (There’s a reason if some people jokingly call him Santa Kaalus), I hope that in this year does the same thing…
However, is already 10 of December… Oh well…
I’ve looked through previous years blogs back through 2013. He’s generally had 2 releases per year and always one before Christmas, to get into the buying rush.
– 1.24 was still getting bugfix releases until dec 28 (2013)
– 1.26 had its final bugfix release on dec 19 (2014)
– 1.28 had final approval on dec 19 (2015), and
– 2.0 was first released on dec 10 (2016) and had bugfix releases for awhile after.
So, he’s not far from typical yet and can still get a release in before Christmas. But, in the past he has usually made some noise by now. I know, it’s really tough dealing with an indie dev who acts even more aloof than the biggest corporations…
what has two thumbs up and knows what he is talking about ? ^^^THIS GUY ^^^
What’s progress on the update? :)
Hope it will be multiplayer :D
Yeah, post before xmas in not happening this year I believe. Hasn’t posted since july, and with 15 days to go untill christmas, I don’t think so.
Maybe not a release of an update, however a simple post is still possible…
I would prefer a surprise update, if it is a post with a preview means that we would see the next update until the summer.
I need update! We need you kaalus!
I can’t believe we are gonna have a Christmas without a Survivalcraft update. I was really looking forward for a release this month. Just hope that Kaalus comes back soon.
We should have a button in world options like the one where you can disable supernatural creatures, but it should disable/enable food rot.
Kaalus you still there?
Let’s start a game. Over-under for when he will post next: March 1st.
For those of who may not know “over – under means you pick whether you think he will post before (under) or after (over) March 1st.
I guess over.
Under.
under
Under
over
Hey Kaalus, I’d like to report two people on the forum, one being a random commie, the other being Stanimus, the owner. They were saying some pretty nasty and rude things to each other under the furniture section, TheCommunist said a few rude insults and so did Stanimus. Stanimus even said that the post would remain so people will just bully the poster, even after the poster asked for it’s removal. Very unprofessional of an owner, and offensive from a member. I don’t support communism in any way, but I think that guy was initially provoked. Stanimus should be demoted, and both should be banned for that vile behaviour… This great forum shouldn’t have such toxic people in it…
I honestly don’t even think Kaalus will ever get around to this post. The forum is dead right now anyways.
Yeah, now that you say it you’re right. Not much going on there anymore.
Checkmate, eh?
Timo,
If you’re going to complain to “papa Kaalus” like that, the least you could do is be factual. For instance, as I stated in that very post, I am no ‘owner’ of the forum – I am just another user. The forum is not ‘owned’ by anybody, except tapatalk. Kaalus has on occasion paid to keep the ads off but that’s virtually the only connection he’s had there in years. I have no power to delete or not delete any topic there.
That isn’t the only fact you are incorrect about, too. Perhaps you should read it through again. Clearly you didn’t comprehend it well the first time…
My question to you is, “Why did you deem it necessary to spread an unfortunate incident, rather than just leave it alone and let it fade away?” Please just MYOB?
P.S., YOU just committed the same “offense” as I did – using the shorthand term for ‘communist’, while he used undeniably insulting language. So you just were as “offensive” as I was.
Right, my apologies for that. I use that word without thinking about it, I was indeed as offensive as you. You were just as insulting as him\her. Using words like twisted and they DID have the right to defend themself from you, as you were a little bit provocative and harsh. They’re allowed to support what they want, even if we don’t like it. You have to be more understanding of other people. Though I agree, they took it quite far, even though I don’t know what a pig dog is. Again, I apologise to you for my own mistakes. I am however allowed to express my freedom of speech, be respectful of that, even though you seem to find that difficult. BTW is Kaalus a man, to be “papa kaalus”? I never really knew…
Pig and dog are lesser words to be concerned about. After reading some comments way back in this string by some people I will not name, those two words only made me laugh. XD
Ya, there’s been some pretty foul language used right here. It’s shocked me that it wasn’t censored!
Kaalus is a man by the of name Igor Kalicinski. He has two kids and lives in England (the address is known as well). That’s about it.
Read it again – the word ‘twisted’ was meant to refer to his statement that there is no distinction between good and evil. Perhaps my english was not clear enough?
And by your statement “They’re allowed to support what they want…”, do you really mean to include supporting murder, genocide or terrorism? Because “…what they want…” has NO boundaries…
And please don’t imagine you have a clue as to what is inside my head. I.e., “…you seem to find that difficult.” That is your interpretation, not my intention. As you have the freedom to say what you please, then I have the same freedom to reply however I please!
(P.s., that thread has continued – and calmed down as well.)
Also, I find it very disturbing that when people use catch-phrases like “You have to be more considerate of other people’s opinions”, they are in essense telling me to keep my opinions to myself…
HUH
Oh, and I used ‘papa Kaalus’ as a pun, seeing what time of year it is…!
You know, ‘papa Kaalus’ – ‘father Christmas’. Maybe it was just a puny pun.
English is not actually my first language, so I don’t always know if what I say will mean the right things. I meant no offence.
Yeesh. Somebody keep this argument going lol. This is the most activity I’ve seen in over a month!
Sorry but I think we’re done. Maybe you can start an argument with someone else?
(This is a clear sign we’re all a bit frustrated.)
Fustrated*
RIP Survivalcraft 2011-2017, you will be missed.
Merhaba bence artık survivalcraft 2’ye çoklu oyuncu özelliğini getirmeniz gerekiyor oyunu 2015’den belli oynuyorum ama bu oyunda tek istediğim çoklu oyucu ve bir tren veya bir araba yani oyunda hız artırılacak bir teknoloji. Teşekkür ederim.
Survivalcraft is dead?
On Oct 3rd I had an actual 2 way correspondence with Kaalus, on an issue about administering the forum. I followed it up with a plea to re-establish his presence there. I got no response.
Kaalus created this community. We’ve all enjoyed it. Sadly I wonder if he ever did. I picture him as some genius developer with zero people skills and a total inability to enjoy SC beyond the code.
This is the first Christmas he’s been totally AWOL. I guess Kaalus has shied away from human contact for good. Blame me for asking him to touch base with the people he brought together, that cate about him. At least he gave us a great thing for awhile, and I will always appreciate Kaalus for that.
And he did one thing right in the end. He gave us SC version 1, without the soul sucking Rot feature that finally killed the last shred of hope and respite in this game that will never now see true multiplayer or even just NPCs to break the loneliness.
When something ceases bringing you joy, it is time to move on. Perhaps this is the last lesson Kaalus has for us.
If you made me comment after months of silence, then you are sounding awfully pessimistic and disappointing…
Sorry if I sound a bit rude, but please think twice before disappointing the others.
First, proggramers have felings too. (You have one talking right on your screen now.)
Secondly, did you code before saying that it is not enjoyable? That satisfaction of the code working can’t be replaced with anything else in my opinion, and as SC is the best blocky game that tries to win the fight against MC, Kaalus is surely more than satisfied and will surely continue working on SC as long as he is still alive…
Thirdly, if you think better, all the other game developers I know have more than one proggramer in the team and community managers too. Kaalus is maybe the most sociable developer we’ve got on Earth.
Another thing I want to tell you is that Kaalus is surely silent because he is working on something probably very big,
being already very busy with his life and SC code, and he’ll sure not forget us and the Christmas post.
Remember 1.29? He was silent for a long time, then the SC spark came along again and he posted about 1.30, which turned out to be 2.0.
One thing I know is that Kaalus would rather delete all his code and start over again rather than giving up, and you should learn that too.
This was Kaalus’ last words: “Unless something catastrophic is discovered, I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.”
So maybe we can just wait and see when 2.2 will come. This is not the first time Kaalus has disappeared, is it? To launch full multiplayer was too much work for one go, so he did it partly. Before he could implement full multiplayer, he had to get the mechanics right, like having more than one character. The split screen was a way to test it and get it implemented. I cannot see LAN not making it to 2.2 – please see the double negative.
You are totally right! That’s some words I forgot Kaalus said, some words that prove again that Kaalus will return.
I hear you Yel Owl139. Sorry if I sound disappointed and pessimistic. It has been a long road to get there, and I don’t post it lightly. I also code, for a living, though not on Kaalus’ level. But I also did not create a community, with a staff of volunteers that gave a lot of personal time and dedication, just to fade on even them, with no word at all. Like it or not Kaalus put himself in a leadership position by creating a community, and that calls for at least some leadership qualities, like communication. I’ll leave it there. The non-coms can only keep morale up for so long with the leadership MIA. I reached out privately. That failed. Publicly is the only route left, to save a dying community. Wouldn’t try if I didn’t care.
Sigh, I meant NCO’s, not noncoms.
I did not say you didn’t care… The only reason I have reacted like that was because I was somehow afraid that your words will disappoint someone who is still hoping Kaalus will be back before Christmas… Or will ever be back… I am only afraid that this kind of words could help the community die rather than help it survive on the island where Kaalus let it just for a while, to focus on bringing it more than they had rather than abandoning them there… That’s true, Kaalus has some silent periods, but that doesn’t mean that he is not working silently… What about us? I suppose that most of us are just enjoying the game silently and the SC community is not in danger of death… And if we stopped playing it while waiting for an update, the true reasons why we love SC will bring us back everytime…
You are probably just a wannabe coder. I have coded in the past, it is boring and stressful.
Not for me… It’s strange, but I actually enjoy everything involving pushing my brain’s limits and I do tire harder than the other people… Of course, I do enjoy having fun or simply taking a break, and I am stressed too after working too hard or too much, but I am somewhat different when it comes to thinking… I don’t know how to explain you and maybe nobody except my dad who behaves similarly will ever understand me, but thinking is actually the activity that I like best and the fact that programming was so complex is what I enjoy at it. Even when it comes to leisure I am different… I read books in the 21st century and my favourite author is Jules Verne, which some people consider to be ‘very hard to read’, I only enjoy abstract or realistic video games in which you must build your strategy or think your way out of some almost impossible levels, I sometimes walk on the street and my mind is still working in the background, so I usually don’t see what’s around me… I am not antisocial but I am very selective when it comes to friends… I always choose people with big brains and good hearts and I just can’t understand the ones who have the hearts so small that the surgeons can’t operate on them or the brains so limited to fall in the bad temptations of life, like drugs, crimes and so on… I am just different, an exception of probably everything you’ve me in this world before… Sometimes I ask myself if I do really belong to this world… It might seem strange for someone who dives very deep in logic to say that, but I’ve had contacts with the ‘paranormal’ how we call it before and I do believe that the logic of the universe is harder to understand than simple humans can do… Also, you can read what pshicologists say about people who favor blue like me here: //http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-blue.html
To shorten the whole story: I am just different and why wouldn’t such a strange person with such a personality (that is built against the laws of 90% of other people’s personalities) be agains the normality again and like programming? Seems unusual to you? Well, get used to it: I am not normal…
I don’t want anyone reading this to think that I am bragging that I am better than the others (Maybe the others are normal and I am crazy…), but all I wanted to do is to dispel your opinion that I am like the crowd…
Is that credible enough for you?
Hope it is!
*you’ve met in this world before…
*like the rest of the crowd…
(Even shorter: I enjoy programming, that’s me and I am proud because all these differences from the other people that I have make me special… Of course, everyone is special in its way… That’s one of the ways *I* am..)
Ok… That was just another Yell-bomb… In the future, I will try to think twice before being that rude…
Sorry for my rudeness… Let me rethink the same words:
Don’t loose your hope! Kaalus has disappeared before too and he always returned. I am sure that he is not the person who would give up that easily, and there are still 6 days left until Christmas. In this time he could post even twice, and I am sure that, when 2018 is so close, as everyone starts to look into the past, at the year that almost passed, thinking about what they did in that year, Kaalus thinks at SC and most importantly, at the SC-ers too.
My $0.02. My partner runs a business basically by himself. It is all he can do to keep his head above water with everything he must do as part of the business. I suspect the same goes for Kaalus.
My issue with Kaalus is that he engages on this blog once or twice a year using a familiar tone and attitude only to then disengage completely leaving many bewildered, confused and disappointed.
He’s done the same to the forum.
He is welcome to be however he likes but he should strike a tone and stick to it. If he can’t handle being communicative and needs to back off a simple message to that effect would suffice.
He always returns. He will return. He will continue to tweak new features and seem to ignore giant bugs. He will ignore us then ask us to test and provide feedback. We will wait patiently and then lament his silence.
Hold on: I think we are all hosts in Kaalus’ Westworld traveling our loops…
Ps: I’ve gotten past totally hating rot. It does have serious implementation flaws, though. Now flu? That’s the part that is a game killer for me.
The tone: Maybe he is just friendly? How would the SC community feel if after all the time they waited and the tme and passion they gave when playing this game, all they hear is: List of new features: feature 1, feature 2, …
The bugs: Why would he ignore the bugs? Maybe because he did not find a way to solve most of them? Maybe because he couldn’t reproduce them to find a fix? Anything it would be, he must have a good reason for that.
And about rot and flu: You have the right to tell your opinion. Mine is that the rot and flu add a new realism-based challenge to the game that I really enjoy.
Yel Owl139 no worries that was pretty polite for rudeness ;). you are passionate and hopeful. I have been in those shoes. I have even lectured as you did.
It’s been a wild ride and I’m glad I’m on it. Even now. I never give up all hope.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas or whatever you may celebrate, and keep on enjoying SC.
I’d leave my Christmas wishes for the time when it will come… And talking about my rudeness… Let’s just say that I was screaming without sound while typing the first message, so I later found it extremely rude from myself…
I found something in this website, not sure if it’s important though:
https://www.gosurvivalcraft.com
Please don’t let the game die Kaalus ;-;
Hey! Another (different) argument to liven the place up. LOL
Hmm, let’s see – – – should I join in? Why not…
Let’s not fool ourselves, Kaalus has a long history of not attending promptly to bugs. You can make up any amount of imaginary reasons/excuses but we honestly don’t know why. I can tell you that several of them are NOT hard to fix. For example, the stairs placement bug must be a simple matter of a missing ‘OF’ in a ‘CASE’ statement and should take no more than a half hour to find and fix. Lightening blowing PERMANENT holes in water is likely another easy one. It seemed to be introduced around 1.28 or 1.29.
Other ‘problems’ like the erratic nature of food rot are very likely extremely difficult to improve upon. From my own analysis, I could tell you with reasonable assurance how it’s implemented and it’s not at all a clean or elegant process. One alternative would require many more inventory slots – a different one for nearly each PIECE of food. Now, nobody would accept that so we have to live with what we got unless he can figure out a different way.
I think Neo’s point is that Kaalus wants us to support him when he needs it (i.e., money and testing) but does little to nothing to support the community. Especially when all it would take is a weekly tweet that says, “I’m still here, progress is still being made.” The forum is rife with ads when all it takes is a couple dollars a month to keep it ad-free. Most devs gladly pay that paltry sum out of their profits. It’s an infinitesimal cost of doing business in the internet world we live in today.
Virtually EVERY other dev and especially indies actually communicate with their customers. I’ve only heard of 2 people who have EVER had a response from him and they are both ‘very old timers’. (One is Aesop, above!) We often hear how programmers are “treated like mushrooms”, well Kaalus treats his CUSTOMERS like that. (If you don’t know what that phrase means, look it up…)
Now, it looks like this will be the first year (ever?) that he doesn’t have an upgrade ready for the Christmas rush. That alone speaks volumes, but what is it saying? All we can do is guess, like most of YellOw’s statements of hope. All guesswork. Sorry but it’s true – none of us are close neighbors of his so we don’t know ANYthing about his mindset.
I truly hope I’m wrong but I started having a sinking feeling about that (his mindset) ever since about the time he posted the unusual rant on advertising. It’s got worse latley. This nagging feeling is that in a way Kaalus regrets putting SC on the market and wishes to have his life simplified to how it was before everyone nagged him to add this and that to his game… (Hope he proves me quite wrong!)
I personally still think that Kaalus is either working on an interestingly big feature and he did not have time to finish it before Chrismas (in this case I expect him to appear with a Christmas post, telling us that he is working on 2.2… ), or he has taken a 6 month holiday from SC after two very complex in features and very big updates (Remember when he said that he has almost rewritten the entire game from scratch? After such a hard work, he really deserves a break.).
Most probably he hasn’t done anything in the past months (and in this case I still expect a Christmas post from him, saying that he is working on 2.2 because he just began to or not mentioning anything about the upcoming version, because there is nothing done for it yet.), so he had no progress to show us, or at least to tell us he is working (because he is not and maybe he doesn’t want to lie us, because:), and also no update because he has no new feature to release. Concerning his ‘focus on 2.2’… Here it comes the guesswork: Neither this possiblity is 100% true because of it… Did he lie us? I don’t think so… Was he going to begin working on 2.2, then changed his decision? … I neither think so, because then he would edit the post above…
Anyway, speaking about his regrets about all his time that SC kills… They don’t exist in my opinion:
1. Here, in Romania, the salaries are very small for those who work in our country’s institutions… And as all the stuff that our family has is quite old, it always break, so we constantly need some extra money to afford buying, for example, a decent washing machine, not to say about electronic devices who have a short life. My parents both have two jobs to afford renewing almost the whole house. The monitor I am now using is older than me and it could stop working again every moment… That makes me think: What if SC really became a necessity for Kaalus, as a second job or a primary job… Let’s pretend that he was fired, for example… Then how will he and his family afford the same expenses from now on? Luckily, even if he was fired or not, he always has another income source: SC. Think that SC secures his future and anyway another income source is always welcome. That’s why I think he keeps our community alive as much as he can, with two major updates per year (the only exceptions being between 2.0 and this year…).
2. He has kids; his kids play it; his kids are his joy; SC is part of his kids’ joy; how would his kids feel if ‘papa Kaalus’ (A good one, Stanimus!) would suddenly stop adding on new features to the ‘fun game that dad made!!! ^_^ <3' ? (Anyway I believe that Bugs was not Santa Kaalus' idea; it was the two Santa Kaalus Jr.' s…) Like I said, Kaalus surely has a heart and feelings, and will sure not be so 'Cruel' with his kids.
But what if he has still worked on something, but it was not 2.2 ? Do you remember Bugs? Is Santa Kaalus working on a new little game? Is he working on another big one? We don't know, but in my opinion we should consider that too.
Anyway, I agree with you, Stanimus, except for those things I felt I should clarify or add on…
(My point with the twend parantheses pair in the twend paragraph was that Kaalus can’t tell us that he was working 6 months and then release one or a bunch of small features.)
*the only exceptions being between 1.29 and 2.0…
Can someone make a Christmas furniture pack? I only found one but that’s not enough.
Make it yourself
No
Oh yes! Why not? Just try your luck! Neither my first furniture models were very good, but with time I discovered my talents with it…
Because I want the furniture to “work” as it changes when you click on them. I don’t know how I can do that.
Well, there are many sites you could visit to learn that… The wiki, the forum, even here!
For making multiple state furniture (‘changing furniture’), you first need up to nine different furniture pieces, one for every shape you want your furniture to take. To make it animated, you should put them togheter in the crafting table in the order you want them to change.
Furthermore, you can make multiple pieces of furniture to change simultaneously or you can even make button and switch furniture, but as explaining it here might rather confuse you then help you, I think it would be better to see the tutorial in action:
//https://youtu.be/40zhtJMwJWE?t=2m32s (Kaalus’ funiture video part 2; tutorial starting at 2:30)
//https://youtu.be/LIMvLCbudpo?t=9s (Kaalus’ funiture video part 3; tutorial ending at 1:50)
Also, check out rochthalion’s comment below (his/her explaination is a bit more detailed).
Seems kinda difficult, I will try.
When I discovered SC I found a beautiful thing. A world was like a canvas of built in inspiration. I discovered my love for building and decorating houses. And now I know what I am going to go to college for. SC has come so far and is still an amazing game. If I came that far with something, I would most definitely not quit at it. And trust me I know, cause I have a large, like, HUGE building project on SC that will probably take me years to finish. And the truth is, I have to have the inspiration to work on it. When I don’t have the mind power I take a brake and progress WILL be slow. It isn’t that I don’t care about the game or my project, but like I have said before, if you rush art and do it with no clear vision of what you are creating, the result will be sloppy and disappointing.
Like the fun nicknames for Kaalus! XD
Papa Kaalus, Santa-kaalus,
Agent Kaalus… :D
Oh and on the furniture thing, to make a nine state furniture, you must make each of the nine different “looks” individually. In time you’ll learn the best ways to save time with furniture making. Then place them in the crafting table going in the order you want them. Your first piece on the upper right corner of the crafting table. Like this…
|1 | 2 | 3 |
|4 | 5 | 6 |
|7 | 8 | 9 |
Each piece goes on in the order you would write words. If you want a block to go from pink to green to yellow, then pink must go on 1, green on 2, and yellow on 3. If you want the order yellow, green, pink, than yellow is #1 and so on. It almost works like stop motion animation.
Was this helpful? I think I made it too complicated.
Very good explaination, although I may add that not in all languages people write from left to right.
What does it have to do with the fact that in some languages it is written from right to left with the explanation?
Well, Rochtalion said: “Each piece goes on in the order you would write words.”, which if (let’s pretend that…) you live in Saudi Arabia doesn’t apply.
Actually there’s a way to have a multiple-state furniture with more than 9 states. You can have virtually infinite states and it doesn’t seem to affect the game in any way.
Whoa! More than nine! You have to tell me how to do that! 8D
Actually, I’ve always found the actual crafting recipe a bit unintuitive. I mean, to add a new state to a 6 state furniture you first need to ‘extract’ the already present 6 states first then recraft it. I was always wondering why Kaalus didn’t just let us craft an n-state furniture with another furniture piece to obtain an n+1 state furniture. But now I think that maybe Kaalus has stopped to 9 because the game can’t handle more than 1024*9=9216 unique furniture designs.
“Your comment is waiting moderation…” Apparently there’s not even anyone around to moderate our comments! Have we truly been orphaned???
There’s help to do this on the forum:
First, you need to be able to edit the project.xml file outside the game. See: …/groups/survivalcraft/xml-hacking-tutorial-t19406109.html
Then the thread about many-state furniture is here: …/groups/survivalcraft/multi-state-multi-state-furniture-t19407297.html
The links above are to the official (tapatalk) forum. I’m also taking all that information and building a cleaner article on the wiki, about ‘hacking’ the project file but it’s still under construction.
This message will never be displayed if I “waited for moderation…”.
If you have any questions, post a pm to me on the forum (or wiki). I check in at least once a day.
Stanimus, my comments have been awaiting moderation for over a month now, you will probably not even read this comment.
Posting this in behalf of my son:
Hey Kaalus I have a LOT of ideas for 2.2. First can there be towns or villages generated in our world. My idea was that if you want a house but don’t want to go through the work of building one or maybe you just want some friends or company you can buy one with the resources you have so far. For example, a small, simple house wouldn’t be all that expensive(maybe a few ores or some food or blocks), but a bigger, better house would cost more(it could cost some diamonds, some cooked food, and/or tools you make later in your world).
My next idea was that there would be new food items like more fruits and chicken soup. The fruits can be grown in a farm. Chicken soup can be made by cooking raw chicken/bird with a bucket of water. Drinking this can heal sicknesses like flu and nausea.
Next is new animals:
-Foxes(gives 1 piece of leather)
-Elephants(gives a lot of meat)
-Wooly Mammoths(gives a lot of fur and meat)
Another idea is that there are other survival maps like surviving on other planets and Sky Block. You select these worlds just like if you wanted an island or flat world.
Next was the idea of natural disasters:
-Hurricanes
-Tornadoes
-Floods
-Meteors
-Blizzards
-Sandstorms
Next would be a change in multiplayer. Can we do local and online multiplayer. With online you can create your own server and play with other people and can communicate by typing messages to each other. Local can be near a friend or sibling.
Another idea is that we can tame all sorts of animals, not just camels, horses, and donkeys. The way it could work is that you HAVE to hold the type of food the animal likes or else it will attack you or ignore you. Next there would be an icon on the screen or button to press in order to tame it.
Another idea would be a fishing rod. You can make it by using three sticks and two pieces of string.
An idea that I thought would be cool would be another crafting table that makes stronger, better tools. The way you make it is by surrounding an ordinary crafting table with four diamonds.
Another idea is that we could make ore portals. For example, a diamond portal would be made out of solid diamond blocks, an iron portal would be made out of solid iron blocks and so on.
If you’d like, please add these to Survival Craft 2 in 2.2.
You need to be able to edit the project.xml file outside the game. See: https://www.tapatalk..com/groups/survivalcraft/xml-hacking-tutorial-t19406109.html
The thread about many-state furniture is here: https://www.tapatalk..com/groups/survivalcraft/multi-state-multi-state-furniture-t19407297.html

MERRY CHRISTMAS
No you
Merry Christmas,
Or not, I do not wish to impose mandatory fun onto you.
Have fun building until kaalus decides to reply
Happy Holidays!
Hopefully he’s posting something before next year.
Merry chrismas for all!
I hope the best for all :D
Merry Xmas to anyone here, including your friends, family and even the Lion that is waiting for you outside your shelter!
Merry christmas bungee-bear who keeps jumping off my roof to get me!
🎁 MERRY CHRISTMAS (by the time this comment will show it will probably be Easter)
Wow, I expected a post by the 24th but I guess the rest were correct. Jeez…
Yup. First Christmas without an update…
Merry Christmas!
Happy Jesus’s birthday
Merry Christmas to everyone… who is still alive on the island!
Aa’ menealle nauva calen ar’ malta!
🎄🎁🎄😃
Merry Christmas! Anyone going to be festive and craft a Christmas tree? 😁
Or make a firework show! That’d be cool!
It has been a while since I have posted something like this on this forum.
I am just listing a couple of bugs and nice to haves that nobody seems to realise:
Land generation:
A. The new land generator is a great improvement over the previous one, but:
1. Open caves are quite rare and many are just holes through mountains. Now with larger biomes, it would be nice if there would be open caves in plains or flat forests, like a hole in the ground. Dare I say it, like in Minecraft.
2. With the old generator, there were islands around the mainland, which was a nice touch, even if they were sterile – which was bad. With the new gen there are no islands.
3. If you build soil offshore, it is sterile. No grass will grow on offshore ground. So you cannot customise a landmass offshore. No life except wolves spawn on this offshore land, which is an improvement on the previous gen, since nothing spawned on the old gen, except underground.
4. The mountains can very erratic with many floating islands which should not be there. This is less serious
5. On large islands rivers should also be a possibility.
B. Life
1. After a while, all non-predatory life disappears, except for flying birds. This is especially bad on an island. Either you kill them or other predators kill them and then they are gone, never to respawn. Then you see only wolves, hyenas, lions etc. I’ve played for quite a while on an island where all food life are gone. This is not OK in any way.
2. When you move to a new area, you find nice new animals. After you slept there, the predators would have killed off most of the animals and the longer you stay, the less they become. On my island I have managed to save three horses. They tend to last longer because they run faster.
3. Sometimes predators
C. Horses
1. Please make that when horses push you against a roof or a tree that you only lose a lot of damage but not die. Since the level system, the danger of getting killed on horses make that I no longer want to use them at all.
D. Pistons
1. When you use pistons horizontal as a means of transport, they very often kill you. I build a furniture “cage” which the pistons then push and pull, but the cage kills you.
2. They are still quite expensive for survival.
E. Of course we are still waiting for LAN, but you’ve heard that one before.
Ah, also I have some bugs that have my tired like:
Dirt trees:
In some worlds I see dirt trees, with the trunk made with dirt, and some leaves made with dirt
Sometimes, when you close and open the world again the dirt trees disappears.
Block that break with water:
Some blocks like stairs or slabs break with water, thats is unrealistic I am tired of that.
Sorry for my bad english.
And also. I cannot stress this enough. TOO MUCH FOREST FIRES!!!!!!!!! 😫
I wish I could show you a picture of this forest, which was beautiful, and some storm came through and lightning caused a little flame and it has spread, SO FAR! It is extremely frustrating, not because it spreads easily, that is realistic, but the fact that it happens SO often. I can’t bother myself with replanting the forest because it will only happen again and again. Lightning should rarely cause this much damage. And this fire I speak of is still spreading. It hasn’t even stopped yet it already destroyed a huge amount and it just keeps going. This MUST BE FIXED!
If anyone wants to show me how to post the pic I will gladly show you. I even took a picture of the fire further back when it was smaller. Not small mind you, but smallER.
Yeah, I hate the lightning. I have old builds from like 1.20, back when lightning was no problem. All those builds were with wood, and all have burned down. I often use lightning rods these days. How many blocks out has your fire spread?
In Survivalcraft you can make some “lightning bolts” to prevent wood constructions from burning??
4 years playing Survivalcraft and I never knew this
<>
No, n1sen. Lightning rods do not help. Other people and I have tried and it makes no difference. Some people think it does but that’s never been shown to work in actual tests.
n1sen, they are actually iron fences stacked on top of one another. They work very well for preventing lightning strikes, as long as you use them smartly. I’ve tested it many times, and it always works. You can test it yourself like this: build a 3×3 wood structure in creative, then place iron fences in the corners. (3 high) then fly up and press the lightning button while looking at the structure. The wood won’t burn. On rare occasions it might dodge the rods, but it is so unlikely it is worth it. You have to be smart, because if you place them in a stupid way, they won’t do anything. I’ve used this method for years, never failed me.
OK, so you (Timo) are not actually making lightning rods. A lightning rod (in theory, in-game) attracts lightning to it, preventing it from striking elsewhere nearby. You are using the iron rods to protect (only) the blocks directly below them. That works, and I always use basalt or another strong material for my buildings’ roofs for the same reason.
But building a tall tower in hopes that lightning stikes it instead of other place (a lightning attractor rod) has never worked for me or anyone else I know who’s tested it. (Testing it with the Zeus button is not a valid test since you are in part directing the lightning…)
(Actually, a true “lightning rod” doesn’t work this way either, but this is how most people think of them…)
Of course they’re not real lightning rods, they don’t direct the energy anywhere like real life. They do indeed attract the lightning away from my wood, so it works alright. I use them like this: where x is wood and n is wood with rod on it.
X N X N
X N X N
If that structure is a roof or something, lightning will never burn it down.
dirt trees

i planted another trees onto them
Well, I have some ideas for Survivalcraft:
A “mute sign” option:
This function would make sure that the signal doesn’t say anything when connected to electricity.
Support to special letters:
Like the letter “ñ” or “á, é, í, ó, ú”
For a person who speaks Spanish it is annoying not being able to write those letters on the signs…
A special memory bank that can save words and numbers.
Sorry for my bad english :P
Nah. We can understand you just fine.
And to answer Timo’s question, I think it wouldn’t be worth the time counting how many blocks. I mean, how do you measure the render distance? It has spread so far that I would have to measure it on that scale. ☹️
Hey guys, I’ve created a real colour TV with Survivalcraft electronics. I’ve made a video of it. Let me know if you want the world. I’ve wanted to make it bigger, but it takes a lot of time. Tell me what you think. Here is a video, no adds and stuff. Please give likes so that others will see it as well.
My world with the color TV is now uploaded and published. It still some refinement, whenever I’ll get to it. It is still hard to find in the Top Ranked, but I’ve asked Kaalus to whitelist it. It should soon be3 under “recently added.” It also includes the working train that I’ve made as wel as my old animation – it used to be called Logic City.
It is: Johan Real Color TV
Please download and let me know if you like it. It is a colour animation using 60 memory chips and 1 LEDs. I’ve made an Excel macro to create the data for the animation. Maybe someone would like to make a bigger TV with more LEDs. I am willing to help create a macro for that. Mine is at 12×5 pixels (60 LEDs). It sounds small, but it really works well and looks great. This is something no Minecrafter can do.
Yeahhh, it’s not there. Could you post a link?
I can’t find it!
It is there. I could not find it at recent, but found it when tor rated is selected. It is a few scrolls down.
How are you getting the data from the spreadsheet into the banks – by hand?
Copy & paste using linear setting. Each cell contains 256 numbers. i just copy them from Excel, go to SC and paste. You do it 60 times, not that bad. I want to build a TV with higher def, but at some stage the limits will kick in.
Hope you like it. I want to write VB that can convert a video to this TV. It would be something.
Oh, I was hoping you had a program to edit the banks, out-of-game. I have projects that need hundreds of banks programmed. Even cut/paste would take too long.
I am not techy enough to understand how all those electrical components work. XD
All sounds cool tho.
thats pretty impressive, someone should try and make a 64×32 pixel tv, in SC a HD tv would probably be 108×64 pixel tv.
For those who are still looking for my world (Johan Real Color TV), it is now easily available on Community Content.
Your world is amazing! Imagine the possibilities of making a cutscene for an adventure map. How long did it take you to do this?
I tried to make a tv but there is a bug that causes frames to skip and it throws off the entire animation
Spoon3er has also noticed this bug when he visited his animated tv
The file is corrupted, I try to download it but it doesn’t allow me.
Wasn’t corrupted for me, but it was huge. Make sure you have enough space.
Yes the file is huge and might struggle to load on one devices with low RAM. It would be a good idea to clean your RAM and make sure you have enough storage space. You can also manually download the file from Dropbox with your browser or Dropbix and copy it to your SC folder.
385 megabytes
installed size
must be enaugh space in /data/data/com.candyrufusgames.survivalcraft2/files/Worlds
The compressed space is 12.8M. That is the download size before it decompresses.
Yes, it is 12,8 M. But after downloaded, the game immediatelly decrompress (without any question), and if you do not have enaugh space (385M) in root, the game will display error message.
The game will extract-decompress the map here: Filesystem root/data/data/com.candyrufusgames.survivalcraft2/files/Worlds
By the way, the map is awesome :)
Happy new 2018, people from all around the world!!
Happy new year!!!
So, I know it has been a while since that comment, but did nobody get my Star Wars reference?
The one about all of Kaalus’ fun nicknames.
Huh?
Happe new year :’3
How did you do that?
It just happens at midnight on new years.
i changed my system time to a minute before new year and waited and it didn’t happen
There is a bug that is preventing me from downloading on Community content

Until the very end, I believed that you really did build all this in cruel. However, the last image seems highly suspicious. I understand that there is a mod that allows for stacks to be infinitely large, that is not my point. The point is creating almost 10,000 pieces of each of those clothes would undoubtedly take A LOT (months) of time. Would you really want to spend so much precious time on this long, tedious, boring process? I doubt it. Even an extremely patient person would give up after 100 of each piece.
Hi
It’s not a mod
If your device is rooted, you can change some things.
Like in SC2
In total commander i went to Filesystem root\data\data\com.candírufusgames.survivalcraft2\files\Worlds
Here i searched my map, it was World4
I went into it and with total commander i edited the Project.xml file (you must copy to somewhere, edit, and copy back, rewrite)
In this file you can see the world statistics, where you were, your statistics, the worlds specifications, and all chestss, dispenserss, furnacess etc etc content.
For example:
You can change the world type
You can retype the Creative word to Cruel or to Challenge or to Harmless
You can add entities to the world.
I added plus 3 Belugas and plus 3 killer-whales.
Copy the Entity, paste, and write a huge number (for example 456) to x Entity id=”x”
and also rewrite the coordinates.
Coordinates:
easy method, you fly a bit higher, and tap the “back” to see the game statistics
find your coordinates fe: 280, 27 at altitude 77
in project.xml file this will look like this:
so, the new entity should be added under you
Simple, you can change everything.
I created that world in Creative mode, and after i finished, i edited the Project.xml file, and exported the world and uploaded to dropbox.
And yes, you can cheat…………
oh my god….
the wordpress is idiot
i wrote a long code, and after i pushed the Post Comment button, it disappears.

It would be great if Survivalcraft had support for mods, and to make mods, they could be programmed in C# with an API that allows you to create blocks, items, modify the behavior of the game, and so on.
(Survivalcraft is programmed in C#)
What happened to this site? It’s 2018 and nothing has changed since July of last year.
Sure things have changed. There’s been a ton of off-topic discussions, several arguments and a lot of speculation about whether Kaalus is ever going to show up again!
My guess kaalus will return in Feb or April (April fools day maybe)
Just an update, I have been able to get a shortcut to write the data to the Excel file without having to edit every single memory chip. I have increased my TV to 20×8 and created an animation for it and write the data to a file. I still use copy and paste to put the final file into the project file, but that is minor. i just need to do it once.
It is still not 100% there, with a few errors, but will make it possible to build huge TV’s.
Let me know who is interested.
If Kaalus is not giving us updates, let’s make our own!
“If Kaalus is not giving us updates, let’s make our own!”
How made our own updates?
Well, we can all share awesome builds. :)
I didn’t want to spoil mine, so I won’t. It’s hard not to tho, cause it’s going to take a LONG TIME. I am building something called full scale, and when something’s full scale you can bet on it taking forever. But… it will be awesome. :)
My Star Wars reference:
A list of Kaalus’ fun nicknames..
Papa Kaalus
Santa Kaalus
Agent Kaalus
We could also share skins.
I cannot find any “Star Wars” reference…
Well I am a idiot, I never see Star Wars in my life :P
I have proof that Kaalus is till active and alive. I’ve asked him to white list my word so it would show at “strict” and now it is listed there. So just hold on, he is still brewing…
Yah, see. Awesomeness takes lots of time and patience. I know because of the build I am working on. XD
I have to remind myself not to rush and to take my time with it.
I hope you’re right but technically that’s no proof. It may have happened regardless of your request. This is exactly how superstitions are created…
Stanimus, here is my VBA sub that writes the data to the memory banks. There are four different lines inside the loop, because the memory banks are not at the same height. I write it to a file, then find the memory banks in the project.xml file and just delete the whole block of these specific memory blocks and paste this in there. This is all done in Excel. The data is read from a table that I’ve created with another sub:
Sub Skryf_File()
Dim X As LongLong, Y As Long, Z As LongLong, XBegin As LongLong, XEnd As LongLong, YBegin As Long, YEnd As Long, InSide As Integer
Dim Paste_1 As String, Paste_2 As String, Paste_3 As String, Paste_4 As String
Dim Skryfdata1 As String, Skryfdata2 As String, Skryfdata3 As String, Skryfdata4 As String

This writes data to 160 memory banks in a jiffy.
Thanks, Johan. I’ll certainly check it out.
I’ve been working with someone on decoding the chunks file, and managing the interactions between that and the project file. In time, there may even be an out-of-game world editor from this effort…
I have a theory. The reason Kaalus is taking so long, is that he is working on a very big update and needs to keep it quiet. MC keeps on copying his ideas. They have so far copied almost all his animals and more. They copied lightning and other stuff too. Just a thought.
Can be multiplayer? Finally?
btw also would be great a mod API…
“he is working on a very big update”
Ok, but does not have 10 sec? Just write something like this: Hi guys! I still alive, and i’m working on a very big update. More info soon.
That’s it. I can not believe, he does not have a bit time for this.
“needs to keep it quiet”
Ok, he must keep his ideas in safe. But it does not mean, he must not inform us. Just… just some words. Not a novel, just like i wrote above..
“copied almost all his animals and more”
pig, chicken, parrot – no
horse, donkey, mule, cow – maybe
spider, dragon, slime, pigman, jockey (fe zombie on a spider) – no
MC, MCPE graphic is a bit dry to me. But i can add shaders, fe SSPE Lightweight Shader.
I play both game, SC2 android and MCPE android. I started to play MC on my laptop.
Both game is good. MC, MCPE rather went to magic and build (enchant, skeletons, nether, end, enderdragon….). SC rather went to survival (clothes, food rot, flu….).
And it is everywhere; everybody, every company copy from the other man, company.
a. it’s disgusting, why not have their own idea?
b. it’s ok, because they improve a bit the copied thing.
…
My question is:
Why does not Kaalus have time to write a few lines to let us know what’s up?
[Sorry for linguistic errors, sometimes i used google translate.]
Nah, I can understand your english, you can use DeepL translator, is very good…
btw… kaalus also have a family… Also haves a live
“copied almost all his animals and more”
Well, I have just checked out the official and updated MC wiki (Trust me, I didn’t know they’ve added so many new awful fantasy mobs since I left MC for SC.), and the only animal I can certainly say it was copied after SC were horses. I don’t say that that’s the only copied animal, but at some point in my life I have played both games and the last time I installed MCPE after a long period of playing SC just to see if they’ve improved (I still was sure that they couldn’t make it any better than SC, but I was just curious…), I have checked out the game and it had horses. I have looked at the changelog and I have seen that horses were added in the last update I have installed at that time. And SC already had horses for a long time before. I was so shocked that MC copied after SC. (Seriously guys? You make an unique game, but you decide to spam it with ‘Vex’,’Magma Cube’, ‘Husk’, ‘Zombie’, ‘Ghast’, ‘Evoker’, ‘Endermite’, nonsense portals and so on… You make an unique game, but you decide to make it too easy… You make an unique game, but you decide to destroy it with awful graphics… You make an unique game, but you decide to break it and then copy from a better game to fix what you’ll never be able to fix…) After that shock, I have never checked out MC again. I can’t say if the horse was the only copied animal, but it was the only copied one I’ve noticed and I can prove.
(And was it even unique? Have you guys inspired from somewhere else? Terraria…. maybe? Ok, you’ve copied… What have you improved? Have you? Are the 3D and the last SC-based improvements enough? At least SC copied from you and got unique with rot, flu, electrics, furniture, split screen and so on! Is it right for a gigant-company like Microsoft (, the ‘grand’ continuer of Mojang’s work) to copy from the only Kaalus???)
#MCSteals
ohohohoh
I can say: Kaalus copied the ladder:
SC: version 1.2, about December, 2011 or January 2012.
MC: version ???, exactly 7 June 2010
Yes, he did, but as in a game of the same genre there should be similar items (that actually make the game playable like weapons, ladders and so on…). Kaalus copied from MC. I did not say that’s fair, but think of Microsoft! A company filled with thousands of people! Kaalus fights with the SC-weapon to make it the best game of its genre. Kaalus is a single developer. Who knows how many Microsoft studios have been working at the same time at MC so far? It is not fair that Kaalus stoled MC’s concept, but a gigant company, a big group of people, stealing ideas from the only one Kaalus there is on Earth? It is not fair that Kaalus stoled MC’s concept, but I’d expect a big company with great resources to have its own ideas. It is not fair that Kaalus stoled MC’s initial concept, but at least he has improved it a lot, he has gone unique, and anyway don’t you think that it is even more unfair for a whole company to steal from one single man?
This is what i talked
endless debate
The reason people say that MC stole from SC, is exactly because MC fanboys keep on calling SC a rip-off and that SC stole MC ideas. So it is in reaction to MC guys actually.
I have assumed that it could be endless debate before coming up with the idea, so instead of spamming you with the people’s endless debates on a very delicate subject I have first requested you and everyone’s permission and opinion about it. We have different opinions, and just your reaction made me think that I’d better not start #MCSteals. However, I might post one sample episode especially for you to see what it would consist of and how simple the concept was comparated to what you’ve imagined it would be.
Just wondering, does anyone know if a texture pack that only changes water exists? Or if it’s even possible? I like the nicer water, such as the water in the Johan Real texturepack, but the rest is just way too crazy for me. If only shaders were a thing in SC like it is in MC lol
I can create a texture pack like that for you. I’m Johan. Maybe you can say what else you would like in the pack.
Ah, I’m a big fan of your pack, but some things I just don’t really like, such as the window and wicker lamp. ( Those give me a small headache if I look at them too long) I love the water, lava, natural things (anything in plants and terrain sections). Those can stay, as well as the digital to analog converter (cat!) And I also like the wood and cobblestone, and the crafting table without the black siding. I’m not sure if it is possible, but can there be other wood colors? Maybe by changing the painted wood into a natural look of wood. Same nice texture, but instead of cyan, for example, it would be a nice natural green taint. Again, no idea if it’s possible to do, or if I even made any sense. I always loved the terrafirmacraft (mc mod) wood colors, so I didn’t know if that’s doable. If it’s too much, that’s fine. All I wanted was water, but this stuff would be very neat as well. Sorry for huge post btw
You have to change the colours yourself (in your world options)
The unpainted and painted versions are indeed different block textures, but all the painted colors use the same texture. Unfortunately, we cannot have one texture for yellow wood and a different one for red wood.
Like S.S. said, you can change the color palette to add a nice rich green/brown (or any color) but everything that used the original color will become the new color, so you have to be careful with changing the palette.
There are still a few tricks you can do with texture packs. I’ve managed to create something I think you guys will like. This is using the standard texture pack. I usually only change salmon to orange:
Let me know if you like it. I’ll update my texture pack with it. Let me know if I must rather just put it into a different pack.
I get it. He has a life and SC is just a part of it. But I think it’s really unfair to demand more money from players with promises of many updates to come and then turn back on us and go silent for more than a half year. Not a single word can be spared. I admire Kaalus for his programming skills, but his skills at keeping community are rather bad. I kind of wish I didn’t buy the new SC2. Looks like I bought it prematurely.
For those who are following my world Johan Real Colour TV, I have updated it with a bigger TV (20×8) and a new movie. I have also added some polishing to it. It needs more polishing as the glitch of too many items in a chunk slowed me down a bit. It still needs polishing, but I don’t have time for it now. Somebody can help me if they want to.
At last we have more than one plank type with my texture pack (Johan Real HD 2.x). There is one drawback and that is that you cannot have a white picketed fence any more. If this is an issue for somebody, please let me know and I’ll make a separate pack. This is what the wood looks like:
@Those people who cant wait for the next post: You could write in the meantime a proper wikipedia article. The One now is really short. And the fandom wiki is a good source… so write one!
The last nickname was the Star Wars reference. There is a character from the Star Wars universe named Agent Kallus. Not spelled the same, but it is pronounced how I think Kaalus is pronounced. Does anyone here actually know for sure how to pronounce “Kaalus”? XD
I pronounce it like the Klingon hero’s name.
Wish I had time for that… But anyway whoever will write it, Kaalus should be the first mentioned and there should also be links to his blog.
WHEN is the next post
I have decided to rather create a new texture pack with the new wood textures. I called it Johan Real HD2 2.1. Please let me know if you want changes. I kept the wicker lamp as I like it, but it is different in my survival texture pack. I have changed the crafting table texture, which also affects tools and sticks. I have also changed the battery texture to make a rather fancy refuge bin.
My Colour TV is also updated. If you have performance issues, switch off the Logic Building near the sea – switch on inside.
Very nice, love the vibrant wood looks, and thanks for the better window! I’ll certainly use this!
Hello Johan, don’t work too hard on your texture pack right now. You will have to do a lot when update 2.2 will be out. Just sayin! Because I’m looking forward for Kaalus’s return. My prediction would be him “returning from the dead” (no offense, it’s an inside joke that only you guys will get) would be no further than January.
Usually Kaalus only adds new stuff and old stuff stays the same. Last time the food and some ores changed and maybe something like that might happen again, but otherwise nothing is really lost by designing now.
Stanimus, Yell Ow, etc. I now have internet and everything is working great. However, Discord (online) is being weird. When I press the open button, instead of loading the servers that I’m on, the screen goes blank (greyish black) without any sign of loading or anything happening at all. This has happened to me once already and that time it fixed itself. So please don’t kick / degrade me on SBC because of the fact that I wasn’t online for like 5 weeks now…
5 weeks? That’s not that long and as most people are active during summer, I only do kicks if the person disappeared in summer and never came back until the next year or if we meet a troll… I thought that you still did not have internet! Anyway, about Discord, I may ask you: Have you changed/ updated your browser lately? Do you use a browser not used by the majority of users (E. G. Internet Explorer, Edge, Opera, Safari, any mobile browser almost nobody heard of, etc.)? Have you tried turning off your adblocker or letting the sites you access run Javascripts? I am asking you because any of these could interfere with Discord and I am trying to figure out what’s your problem. Trust me, I use Opera for its Adblocker and Anti-bitcoin mining and as most of the people use Chrome and Firefox, I always encounter loading problems and missing dynamic images because of the adblocker or simply because of the browser itself. If it still doesn’t work, I’d recommend you the Discord apps for PC or mobile phones.
Also, can you please remind me from which country you were? I think you specified somewhere, but I forgot. The way your ISP might provide your internet might cause problems with Discord too.
I’m in England and I use Internet Explorer. I don’t use adblockers or anything.

.| Since IE it’s not supported, I suppose the last update for Discord web made the site totally incompatible to Internet Explorer (Are you sure you aren’t using the Windows 10 version of it called ‘Edge’? If so, I found this solution that might work for you: //////feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/11141421-support-for-the-new-microsoft-edge-browser). If you are sure you are using IE, I recommend wheter downloading the Discord PC app or switching to a new browser. The old Chrome and Firefox became better in my opinion after the last updates, and as they are the most used today, I’m sure you won’t encouner any problems with them. The only inconvenient to any of them is that in both you will meet annoying ads unless you are installing an adblocker extension. I personally use Opera because of its adblocking features (Not all ads are blocked but most of them do. The only annoying ads that it can’t block are those on Youtube.), fast loading and lower probability of your browser getting infected with a hijacking virus. Fast, secure, ad-free and it also comes with a free VPN service.
My opinion is that while it will surely work with the mobile/PC app, I use it both ways on different devices both for saving space and accessing Discord easily from multiple locations.
If you use IE because you don’t like Chrome, Firefox or Opera, Vivaldi (Never even heard of it, so I haven’t tried it…) is also supported.
What is up. I haven’t seen y’all in a good minute. It’s been a crazy heck long time no see. Also, I’m so bored right now, and I’m like literally a daily SC WordPress post checker much like y’all because feature 2.2 is getting me insanely motivated to check for a new post every single day. Who also has this problem?
Me too, I check this wordpress like 3 times a day or something.
To anyone here who knows PVP SC BY SJ, I’m out of ideas. Please give me your suggestions and I will reply, discuss, test it out, implement it and successfully publish v5. If you have no clue to it is, PVP SC BY SJ is an SC world that consists of a PVP battle ground that has kits to choose from and compete with friends.
Just had a thought… If MC has copied horses and ‘They copied lightning and other stuff too.’ (Johan Steyn, comment #246) and we can do nothing important about it, I still feel like there is still something to do… I do know that SCREAMING ONLINE will not solve anything, but as it is an important and interesting subject, I might do a research for stuff that MC stolen from SC and as long as they continue to steal, there will always be something that anyone would like to know… That’s why, seeing some per world toggles that seem inspired by SC, I thought of a series on WP and Discord called #MCSteals. We all know: Kaalus’ blog was like a FaSCbook for us… We showcase builds here, we debate here, we make our own updates here (‘If Kaalus is not giving us updates, let’s make our own!’, Johan Steyn, Comment #243). Let’s face it: This page looks more like a Facebook/Tweeter-like news feed. I would like to start it as soon as possible, studying the old changelogs and comparing them by date to see what and for how long MC has stolen Kaalus’ ideas, but I am not sure if anyone would appreciate it or if it will get annoying for some…
I would like to hear your opinion on it: Should I begin #MCSteals here? Do you agree to with it, or will you treat it like spam? Is it a good idea? Let me know, and if most of you don’t want it, I’ll just make a simple list I’ll post once instead of individual items spammed every time I find out that #MCSteals.
(Johan, I appreciate the way you think… I should begin quoteing you more often! ;) )
Haha. you’re welcome….
MC has stolen Kaalus’ ideas – this is a big sh*t
SC has stole mojang’ ideas – this is a big sh*t
Man, if i create a game, and put in it horse, i steal Kaalus’ idea?
In SC the horse added in 1.21, about April, 2013.
In MC the horse added in 1.6.1, July, 2013.
Is that an irrefutable evidence?
Ladder
SC: version 1.2, about December, 2011 or January 2012.
MC: version ???, exactly 7 June 2010
Is that an irrefutable evidence?
So, i think should not begin #MCSteals.
If in MC there will be a laptop, and some weeks later in SC too, Kaalus steal from mojang?
or
If in SC there will be a minecart, Kaalus steal from mojang?
or
If in SC there will be a hamster, and some weeks later in MC too, mojang steal from Kaalus?
So, i think should not begin #MCSteals.
There will be an endless debate-quarrel.
That is my opinion…..

1. Watching???! Have I mentioned I’ll keep it for WP and Discord communities? I think so… And I also think that I have KINDLY ASKED if it would be annoying for the others or not before being NOT an internet youtube celebrity how you thought it would evolve, BUT ALL I WANTED was to show people how awful those coming with ideas are: even a single developer of a game whose idea is copied after theirs can get more creative than them. I was looking for how to show people what’s right and fair, and not to become another selfish youtuber. I just want this to be clear for you. AND READ EVERY WORD BEFORE REPLYING!!!! Right? Good that you understood. You should have done it before being that rude to me for something I haven’t intended to do. If I was going to be a one of those youtubers that think of themselves like semi-gods and don’t care about their watchers, being disgustingly cool and recording like robots, adding the awful ‘Subscribe to me!’… Sorry, that’s not my case…
2. ‘Man, if i create a game, and put in it horse, i steal Kaalus’ idea?’ No, if you are the first who adds it in a very determined genre of games. Imagine you copying a part of a random article on internet and pasting it into your own article, telling everyone that your article is written integrally by you… But it’s not… You were not the first who written the exact combination of words and you have not quoted the original source. That goes the same for blocky games. If you are the first to introduce a pony into the x genre of games, congratulations! If you are not the first who introduced a pony into the x genre, then you’ve copied! Deal with it!
1,
I wrote Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe. because what i wrote is too offensive
It was a joke, but i missed the target.
Sorry
Well, your different opinion sounded casual and just yours. In fact, the joke was the only one fact I found offensive.
Having a different opinion from mine is not something I find offensive. In fact, different opinions are what I search for when publicly asking everyone if I am right. If I am not right, I want to know why, so that I can change my mind and make my ideas better and more right and fair. So no problem on that! Neither on the joke, as you did not want it to be offensive! :)
2,
I did some research
If i correctly follow you
(” If you are the first to introduce a pony into the x genre of games, congratulations! If you are not the first who introduced a pony into the x genre, then you’ve copied!),
Kaalus copied a lot of things from Mojang….

Thank you for doing what I wanted to! Yeah, Kaalus copied a lot, I agree, but I still think it is more unfair for Microsoft to copy from Kaalus than backwards.
“Microsoft to copy from Kaalus than backwards” – ???
What is/are the thing(s), which MS copied from Kaalus?
Minecraft is developing by Mojang and publishing by Microsoft.
What i researched and found, Mojang copied: slabs, spiked plank, adventure mode, polar bear, coal block, horse, kelp
Yes, Microsoft (MS) is a big company, which try to buy new ideas, and if MS can’t buy, MS will copy or stole that. I hate that.
But this does not make Kaalus guiltless/relieved of the crime of copying.
And yes, Kaalus improved the copied things, for example the piston. Much better than in MC.
[that’s what i told: endless debate]
I think, MC went to magic, fantasy.
Maybe Kaalus saw MCs early versions, and saw that magic, fantasy. He decided to make a similar game, but not with magic-fantasy rather survive. And SC was born. A lot of things must been copied, but Kaalus made those thing better. And the game (SC) grown and is growing.
And we are the users, who will be glad, enjoy the updates.
I play both game on my android phone. If i want to fight, i play MC. If i want to play real life, i play SC. Both game is awesome. Enjoy. :)
[Sorry for linguistic errors, sometimes i used google translate]
Well, I didn’t say that Kaalus is guiltless because he has stolen the idea, but I say that it isn’t right for one robber to fight against hundreds of robbers.
Also, check out these recent additions to MC:
htt ps://tw itter.co m/argo_ma jor/stat us/9509 01009143836672
(Seems inspired by SC’s per world toggles)

(Not so copied after SC, yeah?)
ht tps://tw itter.c om/Mi necraft/st atus/915589794 813693953
(October this year. That seems to be extremely original!)
Horse is there too, but as you already knew that I won’t post a link.
I have also seen dinosaurus in the marketplace too, inspired by one SC mod, but no link since it’s a mod and it’s not Kaalus’ work copied.
And there might be more, but every new feature on their tweeter is far from the previous one, so even if there is more, I don’t have time to travel so many scrolls away.
And
Sorry, if i hurt someone, or i was rude.
Again, there is no problem if you did not intent to be rude. The problem was at me because I imagined your words as being rude. The only problem with internet is that we can’t see our faces while speaking to each other, so I did not see you laughing at that joke for me to know it was a joke and not a rude reply.
This is a major issue in Survivalcraft history…
Not just about the copying, because it isn’t an actual issue. I was referring the updating. To add features before it’s taken by an other game, especially Minecraft.
That’s true too…
Yes, it is, but also in MC’s history, as there were steals from both developing teams… (If we consider Kaalus a whole team… He is not a team. He is even better.) That’s why I have asked for the people’s opinions before starting it. I wanted to see if anyone considers it to be a good idea and why someone doesn’t. So thank you fr sharing your opinion with me… Maybe the subject is too delicate to debate it every #MCSteals.
Kaalus is clearly an incredibly gifted developer. I have to admit, I am more impressed with the work Kaalus has accomplished rather than what Notch has done. #SupportSC
By the way guys and gals, eventually games like MC and SC will have to give way to the modern sandbox games like Rising World, Medieval Engineers and Seven Ways to Die. There is still a chance SC might develop into a game like that, but it would require major rewriting. Especially Rising World has taken many ideas from SC, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
I do not play those games. To be honest, I know it would just swallow me whole with addictiveness. I would also miss electronics too much.
Just for fun Stephan, we sort of have new updates now, the TV and new wooden planks.
Sure, I agree. I could imagine Survivcon in the future much like Minecon these days. We never know what Kaalus might leave for us in the near future, or how revolutionizing it could become… there’s one way to find out…
Just ask Kaalus :D
I hope Survivalcraft will become much like Minecraft.
I hope it won’t. All this rubbish mythical creatures etc is terrible. It must be realistic, like it always has been.
But what about Survivecon 2020?
By the way I wasn’t referring it being literally like Minecraft. Ow no, no, I meant the Minecon part only when I said “I wish Survivalcraft became like Minecraft”. No, don’t be mistaken I don’t like Minecraft’s fantasy, I prefer Survivalcraft. I may have mistyped.
100%
I guess I didn’t get what the modified game names could refer to… Could you be more clear with your Minecone and Survivcone, please? :)
look xcaldmannx’s reply :)
Seen…
Take a look at xcwaldmannx’s reply:
“Anyone who cares that much about a game, to the point where they go to real life events for a GAME, needs to get a life. You shouldnt get that sucked into something. Its just going to far.”
Again, seen… But thank you for trying to clarify it at least…
Your welcome, sorry about my late reply though ;)
Anyone who cares that much about a game, to the point where they go to real life events for a GAME, needs to get a life. You shouldnt get that sucked into something. Its just going to far.
I do hope however that SC may thrive and prosper. SC will never evolve to a game with anything more than block voxels (or whatever). Kaalus would just make a new game that allows simpler implementation of such systems. I think SC is perfect how it is. Just needs a few more updates for it to really take off like MC.
that’s exactly what i was trying to say.
In my opinion, I think Survivalcraft will make a big turning point in its history if it reaches a point where it becomes so beloved that it can reach a point where it celebrates real life events. Yes, it is too far but think about what the future will give us for a second.
BORED
Just took a look at the updates history… Kaalus is adding more features every update… really cool! Nice work @Kaalus !
I love the adventure aspect of fantasy. So doing something along the lines of adventure in SC would be awesome, except it wouldn’t be using unrealistic stuff. In MC my siblings and I have a world where we are ninjas and we battle against hostile forces,… zombies. And another where we are elves battling against armies of orcs,.. ahem, zombies. And another world where we .. and so on. But the truth is, we were always pretending the zombies were something else. The enemy doesn’t have to be something that doesn’t exist. We just need something, like pirates, or bandits, or something along those lines to play around with.
I can say that, ok, a bit of fantasy doesn’t ruin a game, but in my opinion, MC is exaggerated. I mean, keep the potions, zombies, mooshroom, skeleton, enderman, ender dragon, but just don’t go crazy with it. Don’t go beyond my limited imagination! Go on with casual mythic creatures instead of creating your own, nonsense ones, and don’t forget to make them turn-off-able.
I personally prefer SC realistic (Exception: Werewolves) as it is, and I would not want more fantasy in it. MC may have its dose of adventure for players who like to play with fantasy, but in my opinion, the game’s experience breaks when you realize that you are more in a world that looks like ours and behaves unrealistically hostile, instead of being in our real world beating fantasy creatures. Fantasy is okay if you either make a full fantasy world or a half-real half-fantasy world, but when they tried to make us beat fantasy creatures in real life, and then kept adding too many unrealistic creatures, they have destroyed the half of realism the game had. Instead of being a real world where you fight zombies, it became like a cloned of the real world that has suffered awful plastic surgeries, making it too artificial.
At least SC has kept on one idea instead of going on two ideas, both awfully unmantained (MC is neither realistic, neither high-quality fantasy in my opinion). The game has its fantasy drop, well kept in one realistic world, not in a badly plastified combined one.
I am also someone who prefers the idea of having features from our true world.
Does anyone have any idea when Kaalus will be back?? It has been a little over five months since he last communicated with us about the “next feature update”. At this point I don’t even care about what the update is adding, I just want to know that he’s alive and well and is making progress with his work on the update. Who knows, maybe something happened. Maybe a family member got sick or maybe he did. Maybe he’s (God forbid) having marital problems and is taking a break to fix that. Whatever it is, I really hope to hear from him soon.
Hello Kaalus, I don’t know if you will ever read this, and I don’t know if you’ve been working on an update, or if you’ve been taking a break, but can you please post something? At least “Hi guys, I’ve been taking a break from Survivalcraft,” or “I’ve been working on an update,” or something? And if you are working on an update, I know it’s going to be awesome.
Hey
When i did research, who copy who, i found Kaalus post SurvivalCraft Explorer
You can load a map and explore
Works with SC2.1 but not very well, but enaugh
survivalcraftexplor er.sourceforge.n et
remove the spaces from the link
:)
That’s an old viewer and was discontinued in 2016. It was NOT made by Kaalus, either.
Yell Ow, I think I may have lost you somewhere in the middle. XD
But I agree with games being muddled by all the fantasy. I think that having a sort of list of fantasy things to add in the game could be in the settings and you just check the boxes next to the ones you want in. That would make adventure maps a lot cooler. Actually, it would be great to have that for all creatures. Adventure maps would be much more moldable.
2018… I am tired of waiting this is horrible, ugh…
The moment you start adding all the mythical creatures, even if they are optional, you change the character of SC. If people want it, they can play MC. I do not think Kaalus needs to make SC just another MC.
As you say
I totally agree.
Minecraft is now a s***…
I think this is now a record time for Kaalus’ neglect of his user base. We’re fast approaching 6 months of total silence from our absent dev…
:'(
Likely, I still remember the “ios user woes” post, that took forever…
Well, we need to wait. If kaalus is alive or dead…
‘Negelect’ is a too strong word… If Kaalus is silent because he’s working, then you are using the wrong word in my opinion.
You are of course entitled to your own opinions but as I see it, when we report the same bugs for version after version and nothing is done about them, that’s neglect. I.e., you can still be personally attacked while in the boat, corners in stairs still do not form properly, animals still glitch through wall corners, partial blocks still ignore local heating, the complety limit still halts many large builds . . . (I could go on.)
Stanimus at least you have to agree that these bugs are really not that serious. I play the game and it does really not affect me. The dirt in trees is quite rare for instance.
I happen to have the same opinion as Johan has. Most of this bugs are rare; maybe Kaalus couldn’t replicate them to fix them. Or he doesn’t care because those are rare bugs which occur extremely rarely and don’t affect gameplay that much. I don’t say every bug is not replicable and/or fixable. (E. G.: If he’d put a filter for the damage taken from small sea creatures while in the boat the boat bug could be fixed. Note that land animals and other players should be able to attack you while in the boat.) But who knows? He might have a reason behind letting those bugs there. For example, the stairs have so many placement positions that he couldn’t fit the local heating data into 16 bits for them, so as we now have 32-bit blocks he could fix it. The complexity limit of which we were warned can be fixed by staying minimalistic with furniture, as it is not an unlimited feature. One little thing he might do is to let the player know where there is too much furniture in the chunk where he tries to place it and stop him from placing it. (Go on. I can follow you.) Also, I’m sure we are now talking about bug neglecting, not about ‘user base neglecting’. About that, as I do know how busy I am during school, who knows if Kaalus didn’t get a new job than he had or he didn’t and he might be busy this period, so he can’t post? He might be sick in a hospital, so he can’t work/post? He might be enjoying his life after working on SC, so he can’t post? He might be working on a new game #267 so he can’t work/post at least not on SC WP. And so on… Kaalus always disappears, but not because he neglects us, but because he has a real life apart from the online one and he most probably can’t work that much on SC and write posts too at the moment.
…Or he might be working on something technical that we don’t care about… Who knows?
Regarding the bugs issue – each one of the bugs mentioned has also been reported by others, so they cannot be that rare. Most of them have been reported for well over a year, too. Yes, I do seem to have more than my fair share of bugs, as well! That’s probably because I tend to push things to their limits.
The stairs bug is NOT complicated. They form differently depending on whether it’s a left-had corner or a right-hand corner and that shows that it’s a matter of faulty code. As I’ve said in the past, most likely a missing ‘OF’ in a ‘CASE’ statement. This ‘OF’ must be present when computing for left-hand placement, so it should be there for right-hand placement.
Re the boat bug, he claimed that he fixed it and indeed, it seemed that he did. However, during the changes in 2.1, this bug has reappeared. I was not the first to notice this.
The local heating is not kept in the blocks data, it is computed ‘on-the-fly’. There has been problems like this since he introduced freezing to death. I had report other issues and they were addressed. This one may be difficult but DOES seriously affect gameplay. E.g., you build a house in a cold region and make a fireplace to keep it toasty. Then place a wooden slab to sleep on. Then you wake in the middle of the night from freezing, while a fire is burning only 2 blocks away from you! I have a video to demonstrate this bug.
The complexity limit is NOT just about furniture – you can hit it with no special blocks whatsoever. Electrics and furniture only make us reach it faster. Many people have complained about this one – even before furniture was introduced. I understand that this may not be easily curable but other block games I’ve played seem to have NO issue like this. It’s probably a limit in the graphic rendering routines he’s using. Most likely pre-written from a developer kit, so he should investigate whether a better one is available.
Having HOLES IN WATER is more than a cosmetic issue – it can affect boat travel if you cannot avoid them. I believe I understand how this is happening and may be able to suggest a fix. In one world where I’ve played a long time, there’s a body of water which has nearly 50% of its surface destroyed by lightning strikes. Not only is this horribly unrealistic but this body is now unnavigable by boat!
I barely consider dirt trees as a bug. I just don’t even care about it. It’s the ones that DO affect gameplay that bother me. Animals slipping in through walls is pretty severe.
I just found another one, too. I just watched debrised blocks (pickables, or broken blocks) fly right through solid walls. Youmcould be mining away and the blocks are breaking, but you don’t find anything to pick up! This is another case of ‘special conditions’ but can be a problem for some. (The ‘special condition’ is that the wall next to the breaking block must be only 1 block thick.)
For WHY he hasn’t addressed these issues, and why he goes silent, NOBODY knows for sure and all any of us can do is guess. Most peole will guess based on their own emotional state, rather than on what facts are available. My guess is no more valid than yours without additional data. All we can say is that he has been notified about them and they have BEEN NEGLECTED. Each issue mentioned above has been repeatedly reported by others.
Personally, I’m with YellOw, in that I don’t hang on waiting for his next upgrade. As a matter of fact, I assume there will be NO MORE. So, I play the best I can, with a game that could be excellent but has many frustrating bugs. I work around them as best I can and just put up with the rest… But my point is that people have been reporting bugs WHERE HE TELLS US TO, but he apparently never even checks to see what they are… That’s neglect.
As far as him not having time to make simple encouraging posts – seriously??? It takes less than a minute to toss a post out here from almost anywhere in the world. Unless he’s living off the land without electricity or communications, there’s really no reason why he can’t drop a note once every couple of weeks. He’s made some decent of money from this game and claimed he’s bought many different devices to test it on, so he clearly has a smart phone (or 20). He clearly has the means to have some interaction with his customers and yet continues to ignore us. That’s neglect.
‘NO MORE updates’… Well, I might be able to change my mind about neglection if you insist enough, I might be able to hate stair placement bugs that haven’t killed anyone on a cruel world if you insist enough, but the fact that Kaalus abandoned SC… That’s almost impossible, unless he abandoned his life, which honestly I don’t think at this point. I’ve said it and I’ll continue saying it: For Kaalus, SC IS A SECONDARY INCOME SOURCE, A JOB FROM WHICH HE’LL NEVER BE FIRED, YEARS OF WORK, THE THING THAT MADE HIM PARTIALLY FAMOUS, A PART OF HIS LIFE, A PLACE WHERE HE INVESTED LOVE AND THE JOY OF SEEING HIS CREATION BREATHE… Hard to throw away that if you think about it… Hard… No, almost impossible for him to throw away SC! Who knows if he is focusing on new features right now while ‘neglecting’ us? What’s wrong if, let’s say, he took a one year break from it? We can’t know what happened, but clearly Kaalus did not abandon this game.
So its safe to say Survivalcraft is dead now?
Absolutely not.
Maybe… :(
btw this is the 1000th comment
This is the 1001st
And how many of them are useless/ written in the same day/ containing the words ‘boring’, ‘waiting’, ‘2.2’, ‘first’, ‘x th comment’/ trolls/ offtopic… Count just every mature and right comment here and you’ll find out that it isn’t that bad…
Also note that Kaalus became more popular and we more active so that’s why there are so many comments. Just count mine: there are aprox. 100, so ten active people basically wrote almost all the comments.
Lmao, funny guy, eh? Game’s not dead. Kaalus is either spending that hard earned cash or workin on the next update
Well, it’s not dead, but it may be orphaned… We’ll have to wait and see if Kaalus ever shows up again.
#264… Also, #223 reply one… Kaalus has enough reasons to not abandon this game and if he really does, aren’t there enough people who love it? Enough modders, programmers, and smart guys who might be able to understand, continue and save it? (Rare chance of this happening, but why not? As long as we credit Kaalus… If he doesn’t like it, there are enough people who’d pay for the permission to modify it… Many pieces of software were sold from one company to another…)
Of course not. Please see #264 before thinking like that…
2.2 in this year?
I dunno. When will there be another sign of kaalus
Well, I am bored, so let’s talk about… Everything?
Why do we need to only talk something different when we can do something different? See #264.
Well, ok. Here’s some topics:
What is the meaning of life?
Why does my cousin’s car smell of a public loo?
Are goose berries just baby watermelons?
Why did I need that liver transplant…?
Why does my house look like a bucket of vomit?
Am I an attack helicopter? Someone assumed I was at the local Walmart.
Should I call the police because a blackberry bush tried to stab me?
And finally, why am I writing this again?
LOL most of these are from other games haha
Guys, I just realized something. Bacon is just meat now. How long ago was this change?
Since in 2.1 many aspects of food in-game were changed, I suppose that this change is since 2.1…
I can confirm that…
Reasonable rename
Yeah, I remember that a bunch of people used to get quite upset over it back on the forums.
Sorry for replying on the wrong comment, but as I am on PC, I can’t reply directly to it… Anyway, I was just curious why did the people on the forums get upset because of changing ‘bacon’ with ‘meat’? I mean, do they have a logic reason for that or just they don’t like changes? I’m asking because it seems funny to me that some people get upset on such a small change…
No, I mean they were upset that all meat WAS bacon.
Oh… That makes sense then.
I love survival craft 2 but why if multiplayer must using split screen?
Just keep calm everybody! SC is not dead yet! Most probably the large gap between 1.29 and 2.0 just repeats between 2.1 and 2.2… Kaalus might be out of ideas again, he might be checking if the refactored code since 2.1 is efficient and stable and when it’s not he might optimize it… (For our 30 seconds sleep time to be significantly shrinked, and so on…), he might be doing 64-bit conversions or infinite world height… He might be just relaxing after all the exhausting amount of work he put in 2.1… He might just be doing something amazing beyond our imagination or something too technical for us to understand that will take SC to almost infinite possibilities… (Sorry for the exaggeration…) Your pessimism is just killing me guys! Take a deep breath, go to a long walk next day at 5 A. M. and leave your phone home. It’s easier to wait if you just forget about it! It’s just a game; if you can’t get your fun dose outside it in your real life it means that you are not searching where you should… Start a new hobby, go on a trip as long as possible, learn to do something new, read a book, watch and subscribe to various youtubers, make something DYI, play a new game or an extremely longer older one like Candy Crush… I understand you; you love this game as much as I do, but in the 21st century where we have so many options for fun, leisure and learning, it seems a horrible step back for humanity to me that we don’t enjoy the real life as much as we enjoy our sometimes boring phones… I feel like a change is needed and all the people from the contemporary society must re-learn how to leave their lives! So your friend, Yell Ow, the strange guy with his old-school Alcatel phone with buttons, advises you to try something new and to leave your phone uncharged for a few days, in which you should try to live your life to the fullest! Just have fun outside your online life, and live your offline real one with a smile on your face! One day, your phone will beep and you’ll see how fast the time has flown while you were trying something new instead of waiting bored and you’ll be ready to enjoy Survivalcraft two dot two!!
Thank you Yell Ow for your positivity and all the research and work you did just to help me with discord, as well as for practically running SBC. :D
I am trying to get it the app to work, but it still has problems with logging in.
Well, what message do you get? Do you even get one when logging in? On what OS were you trying to make it work? Have you tried logging in with another account to see if it works? If really needed, I could take yours and give you mine just to see if it works… I can’t promise it will work, but I’m sure I won’t stop soon from trying to figure it out…
On December 12th I posted a bet about when Kaalus would post again…March 1st. Over or under? Most said under…Want to change your bet? If you play Cruel and want to join a long-running Cruel turn-based world, then hit me up on Discord @scneophyte##1599
I really appreciate your logic YellOw.
Thank you! I only advised you to act like I did: I honestly stopped waiting for the next update myself and I really feel better now without the ‘When is Kaalus posting???’ stress.
I’m not antsy, complaining (now) or angry…I just think it’s fun to place bets to pass the time…
Neither I or Rochthalion think you do… For some reason, (and Rochthalion could tell us why) Rochthalion always replies to anybody he/she wants to exactly under the last comment that appears on this page, which happened to be yours at that time… He/She was only replying to me, but under your comment. It wouldn’t make me wonder if his/her next reply would be under the next last comment (which now appears to be mine, but anybody could write in a new comment anytime.).
I personally don’t like bets, but that’s only because of me. Anyway, I’m glad you use them and the cruel worlds in the current 2.1 update to not get bored while waiting…
Ugh… After 6 months and 1000+ comments, no news from SC…
I guess that we’ve to wait even more than I taught…
Relax man, follow the instructions of Yell Ow139…
lol :D
As n1sen said, you should really check out comment #264.
I think lately Kaalus has lost a little bit of enthusiasm to keep Survivalcraft going.
Am I the only one who thinks that?
btw while I’m waiting for Kaalus to return, I’m going to focus on my hobby, which is electronics…
I’ll use it to kill time and not go crazy.
And how do you know how enthusiastic a person is when writing plain words on an internet page?
Their use of vocabulary and punctuation. Duh, lol
This sample sentence hides an emotion. How do you know what emotion did my previous sentence hide?
This sample sentence expresses another emotion. I am wondering which one, as the previous sentence doesn’t express the same thing as this one and the first one.
Lmao, your acting like you cant see emotion through text. You definitely can. Not all the time, but its obviously possible.
Then how does N1sen ‘think that lately Kaalus has lost a little bit of enthusiasm to keep Survivalcraft going.’ while I have read again Kaalus’ posts and I don’t feel that? What you feel when reading is entirely subjective, so you can’t certainly say how a person felt while writing something.
The purpose of the vast majority of writings is specifically TO evoke emotions. Our choice of words and the buildup of the ‘story’ are powerful tools to affect the emotional state of the reader. To deny this is the deny the billions of writings throughout history whose sole purpose IS to create a sense of emotion in the reader.
If you get no emotional effect from Kaalus’ writings, then even that can be interpreted on an emotional basis. Re-read his rant on advertising – that is packed with emotional cues!
In ‘his rant on advertising’ I really found his emotions, but what I didn’t see is the Kaalus’ disinterest in SC N1sen has seen in the last posts.
New idea: Remember ‘Bugs’? What if Kaalus wants to make a whole new game because SC ‘is almost perfect’ how he said it would be when he’ll add multiplayer?
This game is awesome. Really hope there’ll be more updates, because it has been quiet for quite a while. -.-
What the
?! Sorry, but I did not understand what you were trying to say…
Hey guys; here is something what bored survival players could be interested in: I managed it to build a AUTOMATED CACTI FARM ! Just have a look at the Community Content. It’s the second fully automated Farm in Survivalcraft besides the cobblestone generator. I really like it. :) Unlimited fuel source! What do you think?
Do you have a dropbox link? I can never seem to find things on community content :C
Here is a link to the automated cacti farm: https://www.dropbox.com/s/os9r0ci63l21anu/cactifarm.scworld?dl=0 what do you guys think? I really like it!
I looked at this and although it works, it’s quite ‘expensive’ for a survival mode. I’ll look to see if most of the pistons could be eliminated by laying out the cacti differently… (It’s still a good idea!)
And I’ve used a fully automated egg farm for a long time now, so technically this is the 3rd automatic ‘farm’. Now, if only someone could figure out how to make a rye field replant itself…
This is great! I tweaked your design and have a system that only uses 3 pistons, 2 SR latches and 5 Adjustable delays. Plus, it breaks up to 7 plants at once!
Thank you so much for this design. (Now if only I could find ANY cacti in my challenging world, I would build one!) There is however a caveat to this design – the plants MUST be fully grown (3 blocks high) or the system will not work properly.
I made one after looking at yours. Pretty cool! Mine uses 3 pistons, 1 delay gate, 1 not gate, and a button
Really nice, that you have improved it. I just had no time to do this because i HAD to share the idea first! I really like it. This really changes something in the game…
Yeah man, honestly that was some good thinking, and it actually got me into making a lot more electronic stuff
Yo, check this out! I’ve been working on this new cacti farm today and made a FULLY automatic one using the photodiode! Now you can have an ‘infinite’ source of cacti! Its not too pricey either. This could easily be built in a survival world. https :// www . dropbox . com/s/wtnt826tnvck4fg/AutoCacti%20Farm . scworld?dl=0 Remove spaces of course :P
Let’s make some bets while Kaalus doesn’t appear? Bet (only one of each) a tool, an animal and some plant (tree, fruit, herbs, seaplant, something like this) that could be add in SC: I bet fishing rod, fox and coffee
I have serious question – just WHO moderates these posts? I know they only get moderated under certain conditions.
If it is Kaalus who has to moderate, that could spell trouble. A comment I posted over a month ago is still “awaiting moderation”. Does this mean Kaalus hasn’t even looked in on this blog in at least that long?
Does this mean Kaalus hasn’t even looked in on this blog in at least that long? – Yes (i think)
…Or he did but he was too lazy to moderate the comments… Most probably he didn’t, but I still think he might have reasons for acting so.
All my comments from 2 months ago still never showed up
I guess that must be a lot of laziness…
How long
Here’s another (not-so-serious) question. Just how long of an absense will it take to discourage everybody here, to the point of thinking that Kaalus is done with this game? If he’s still incommunicado after a year, will anyone still have faith that he’ll show? Two years? Five? Just how much faith do you have in Kaalus (who IS just another meager man…)
Very few games have a lifespan longer than a couple of years, without upgrades. Especially indie ones with as ‘small’ a following as this one.
Well, now is safe to say than Survivalcraft is dead.
Was a good time playing Survivalcraft.
:’)
Ok. Let’s pretend for a minute that this game is dead and there are more updates for it. That wouldn’t be an apocalypse! Just think of it: lately we were addicted with those updates. We started waiting them instead of playing and enjoying the game.
Just think of it: would you move to the artificial awful fantasy MC just for an update? Will you move to Block Story just for some generated structures? Then go on and play any of them, one of them, none of them or make any combination you want! But if you really love and enjoy SC now, what update do you need? Do you need one anymore? Kaalus said that he’ll add multiplayer when the game is almost perfect. Just look at it: It has a few bugs that annoy Stanimus and some others, but speaking in terms of features, I can’t imagine what Kaalus could give us more. Yeah, some more generated structures would be nice, a limitless sky would be useful when building cities, but I personally think that more wouldn’t be bad, but I, personally, can live only with what we have. I love this game, and I appreciate the amount of work Kaalus put into it. You all love it too, you say… Well, if you really do, keep on playing this game as long as it keeps you entertained. As long as it is fun, and brings adventures and joy in your life.
I’ll give you one famous example, which if really this game ends up being abandoned, which I still don’t think it would be after 2.1, will make you think better before uninstalling a great game just because its developer ended his work on it. I have a friend, which lately told me that he enjoys old, text-based games as much as I do, retro games and even one great game that doesn’t recieve updates anymore, yet people still play it. He played The Sims 3.
‘3??’, I asked. ‘Wasn’t 4 released yet?’
‘Yeah, but I don’t like it…’
He explained to me that he bought Sims 4 Deluxe or so and he recieves all the DLCs when they are launched, but he has never enjoyed the game. He told me that then he heard that Sims 3 had more features, and although many expansions for Sims 4 were released as well, and he told me that Sims 3 had an open-world system, unlike Sims 4, where ‘the game’s experience is destroyed by the loading screens that occur even when going to the neighbour’s house, unlike Sims 3 where once it was loaded you could play it without loading breaks’. He downloaded a cracked copy from the internet, because he thought that it was fair, because he has wasted his money on Sims 4 and he can’t play it for more than half an hour, while Sims 3 keeps him entertained. Now, I’ve never played any game in the Sims series and I don’t know what’s the point of life simulators and why people consider them fun, but since then I’ve researched the situation online. I’ve asked myself if he was the only weirdo who still plays Sims 3 and guess what I’ve found? Forums full of complaints about Sims 4 ‘It isn’t fun’, ‘It doesn’t entertain me’, ‘Awful loading screens’ and so on… There were still many people who have continued playing Sims 3 after 4 made them be disappointed about a series they love. It’s true, there were players who enjoyed Sims 4 too, but everyone is free to make his own choices.
Now, returning to SC, will the lack of updates keep us from playing a game that we love, we enjoy, which still has a lot of open possibilities for us? Can we live without updates if we pretend there will be no more? I’m sure we do. Does it matter if it will become an old game? At least if it is compatible and if it is fun, why would we stop playing it? With the Sims 3 example above I wanted to show everybody that we can live without updates in an old game if the universe doesn’t give us something better to do, and who says that we can’t play the game anymore without Kaalus developing it further? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun doing so!
Now let’s return to the present: Is SC really dead? We can’t know exactly, so for now let’s leave Stanimus’ suppositions away until we can really prove that Kaalus abandoned the game. I still think he could post anytime a new feature, a ‘Why did I disappear?’ post or something else. Until we’ll surely know, as we all know that Kaalus disappears for long periods, Stanimus’ suppositions remain just suppositions, which can happen one day, but we can’t really know if we stop playing the game and waiting for Kaalus. My opinion is that if Kaalus will be away for three years, SC will be not developed anymore, but who cares? I, personally, don’t. As long as I find this game fun, I’ll play it and no one can stop me to do so! We should continue enjoying the game as much as we do and it won’t be dead as long as its communities will be still alive, it’s players will still play it, builders will build great CC and survivors will survive!!!
Well, in case the real game is dead, I’m going to reverse-engineer it to my liking.
I wouldn’t be the only one doing reverse engineering, a group of Russians at Vkontake have done a lot of mods for Survivalcraft.
I won’t come back here until kaalus comes back.
Three years, but it won’t discourage me and I’ll enjoy the game with or without any more updates.
I will definitely keep playing with or without further upgrades. This is still the best block game for several reasons. I’ve already said I’m playing as though there won’t be any upgrades, even though I hope there will. For me, if he’s gone a year I’ll stop believing he may come back. (I’m not quite there yet, despite my apparent ‘negativeness’.)
This is crazy! No posts since July!
Hi!
First, in advance i am sorry, if i’m rude, obscene, insulting.
Second, i’m sorr for linguistic errors, sometimes i used google translate.
a.) Kaalus’s silent mode
Somebody told, Kaalus has family, so he can’t write something.
Somebody told, Kaalus is deep in the code of SC2, so he can’t write something.
I don’t believe that.
Why can not he post something? It will be less than 30 sec.
Just something like this: Hi guys, i’m still alive, and coding very hard. I will post something soon.
But no.
I hate that.
Why is he doing this?
Is he dead? I hope, no.
Is there any trouble in his family?
Six months passed, and nothing posted, WHY?
There is a phrase: better late than never.
I hate this, when a person tune up, excite, and without any words he/she abandon everything.
And Kaalus does this. He does this, becouse he not posted since July 2017 (six months), not moderates this site.
He totally abandoned us. Us, who are waiting for him. But, i think, we’re waiting the big nothing.
b.) Updates, features
b/1) Furniture
Kaalus added this awesome feature. It’s okay.
But he does not finished it.
Why?
Becouse, you can not make custom chest, furnace, tools (for example: axe, pickaxe, bow, crossbow), crafting table.
So, for me the furniture is useless. It’s just for decorative, but if i use this a lot, i will get some graphic glitch. Funny, eh?
You can not combine your furniture design with chest, furnace. You can make a fancy cooker, but it will be only decorative.
You can not make custom gun, becouse you can not combine your furniture design with bow, crossbow, musket.
That’s why i say: it is unfinished
b/2) Food rot
It is unfinished too.
He added this, but not added food preservation.
A chest with ice become icebox, and you can put inside to it food.
Or with saltpeter.
If food preservation added, you can build a cold store (a house with iceblocks).
But no.
You can not storage lot of food, like in real life, becaouse Kaalus not finished this feature.
b/3) Flu/disease
It’s unfinished too.
You can get flu, but the only cure is: get back your warm home, eat and sleep.
There is no any herb to harvest and make a tea.
Or more plants and materials, and with the combination of them, a medicament.
I’m waiting Kaalus.
But my patience is approaching the end.
I’m not waiting for updates (it’s not quite true :)), just for some words.
You guys want updates? Words?
Survivalcraft is already an AWESOME game. We don’t need any more updates.
The only thing I’m concerned about is whether Survivalcraft will stay in the app stores for the next decade or not. Sometimes you have to come to the reality that perhaps kaalus HAS abandoned us and just accept it. I know I have(if he did abandon us). Why would he give a crap about us if he already has his share of money?
Because more features (especially more big, unique ones) would attract more people to buy it. Also, would you buy a game you have not tried if you know that it has already been discontinued and you’ll recieve no more updates, not even bug fixes and compatibility updates that actually make it playable on newer devices? Would you buy a game made in 1990 that you know it won’t work on 2018’s PCs?
I bought Modern Warfare Remastered… so yes, lol. But I see your point. I dont ‘think’ weve been adandonned. I doubt it. I also think were on the closer half of time for Kaalus to post. I would imagine it wont be too much longer. I hope he posts before I ship out lmao
Finally someone agrees me! Thank you for that!
@Yell Ow139
Kaalus doesn’t seem to want new customers though. If he really wanted more customers he would at least make an announcement of an update.
Why wouldn’t he want them? I mean, we already paid and I do know that I’ve said that Kaalus doesn’t want JUST our money, but more costumers means more money to support him so he can continue developing SC.
Pls update it
I’d continue telling my opinion on it, but I’m sure people already know it. All I can continue to say and I’ll say it no matter how bored, tired or how bad my mood is: Don’t loose your hope! We are a small community: now what if everybody becomes to think negative just because a few people started doing it? Do you really want to abandon this place? What if we all do? Would it be any better? Is it any better if we complain about how absent our developer is? It would neither be better if we think positively, but all we do now is to hurt each other with words. By being negative, you, all of you hurt the others’ feelings about it. It’s your opinion, you want to express it: I understand. But do I have to remind you that we are a small community, and we’ll slowly begin to leave this place, one by one, and be like sand blown away by wind if we don’t keep this blog a pleasant place where we discuss the game, share our builds and have fun? For me that’s about it: I play the game for fun, not for being depressed because it’s developer has disappeared for a while. So please guys: behave like we don’t know who Kaalus is, and have fun! I’m sure all of you had more of it before beginning to browse his blog, then being stressed by Kaalus’ absence for what reason, exactly? and complaining here. Games are about fun. You are just taking it too seriously. Just have fun! That’s why games were invented! “Leave a Reply. No swearing please. No stress please. Throw it away and don’t forget to have fun!”
Thank you. People saying “Survivalcraft is dead” is just a bunch of bs. WE are the only ones who can keep it alive as a community.
If Kaalus doesn’t post by March 7, 2018 he will officially have broken his record for number of days being missing.
It is way past March 7 by NOW!
Well… I went and bought Minecraft PE because Survivalcraft got boring for me, and realized something amazing. I found that Minecraft and Survivalcraft are really two different games, not exactly clones, and not exactly different. The basis of survival is the biggest thing they have in common, but each game goes about differently in doing it. In MC, you can go on a murder spree of cows, settle in a house and chill out mining diamonds forever. In SC, you have to be more proactive, taking care to make sure you have the right clothes, check and get fresh food so it doesn’t rot while you’re in the caves, etc. When we compare SC to MC, we do the wrong thing. If you compare SC to MC as wanting more things that MC has, why don’t you just go buy MC? We all seem to want the perfect balance between both games, so I challenge you, write it yourself! Before you accuse Kaalus of neglect see what its like to have people depending on your constant updates while you still have a family to care for and a life to live! They both are blocky, and they both are different. MC has a huge team working on it, SC has Kaalus. I don’t think he has abandoned the game, and if we have to wait even 6 more months for the next update, lets not crowd the comments with “Survivalcraft is dead”. Look at it this way, longer time, maybe better items. Who knows? He could be writing the biggest bug fix/update ever! Keep positive, and above all… umm… I don’t really know what else to put here so… listen to Yell Owl! And here’s something to think about too. What if the one you would take a bullet for was holding the gun?
Hahaha. Can’t help but laugh. I don’t do this on purpose YellOw. !XD!
It just happens. *referring to commenting on posts two or more posts up*
Ironic though, that I am commenting on a post after tons of comments were made, eh? :D XD
Honestly, there ARE still things that need fixing. Lightning/forest-fires and food rot being some big ones. And as much as I would love a fishing rod, or tethers/lasos for animals, or stronger boats making ocean travel safer, I could still survive and create without them. The only thing Kaalus is obligated to do is fix all the bugs and dysfunctions. And I don’t think he’s the kind of guy who will abandon these problems. I’ll bet he loves SC as much as we do. And his kids play it too. I’m sure they love it, and have the same problems and awesome ideas as we do. SC is a living game. (Yes, pun intended).
And btw Texsaint, coffee would be a hilarious and amazing idea. It should give you nausea if you haven’t had it for a while, if you’re addicted to it. :D
#rochthalionnotacoffeedrinker
Does anyone else think it’s hilarious how philosophical we’ve become? XD
I’ve initially seen it as “It’s dramatic how philosophical we became.” (me being negative lol) , but either way we became philosophical and that’s not good. As I said, leave the Kaalus philosophy away and have fun with the game! And as you said, Rochtalion, Kaalus isn’t a loner who is either starving or just wants our money. He has kids, kids who take a part of his time for SC and kids who would like to see SC continuing as much as Kaalus and us. And if he would want just our money, why wouldn’t he simply raise the price of SC? Don’t you see how he gets from our wallets only the amount of money he thinks it is fair to take?
Thank you for agreeing me, for helping on keeping the atmosphere positive and I honestly think your opinion seems to be the shortest and the most balanced one.
BUG REPORT
Dismounting a boat can kill you in survival modes.
Often when dismounting a boat, the boat will jerk out from underneath you. This will usually cause you to be dumped into the water. If you back the boat up onto land, then keep ‘moving’ backwards while dismounting, you may be safe. If you push the prow onto land, you will likely end up soaking wet and the boat may jerk completely onto the land.
BUG REPORT
Riding a boat may kill you in survival modes.
Aggressive aquatic animals can attack you directly through the bottom of the boat. The boat does NOT protect you from these attacks. You cannot attack creatures directly under the boat so you have no recompense.
BUG REPORT
Placed leaf blocks disappear quickly and can kill you in survival modes.
Placing leaf blocks to climb into trees can disappear quickly, causing youmto fall to your death. Placed leaf blocks were supposed to NOT degrade but the game seems no longer able to distinguish between placed and naturally occuring leaf blocks. Once you remove the wood blocks, the leaves may start disappearing immediately. This may include the blocks you just placed to climb into the tree.
All you have to do is put a block of a tree or of boards against 1 of the leaves and they won’t disappear.
BUG REPORT
Sleeping on slabs may kill you in survival modes.
Partial blocks do not calculate local heating effects properly. If you rely on a local heat source to keep your sleeping place warm, do NOT gomto sleep on any partial block. The heat generated by the local source is NOT counted when you are on such a block. Sleeping on one can wake you in the middle of the night, freezing.
BUG REPORT
Animals glitching through corners can kill you in survival modes.
When blocks in a corner (of a building or natural structure) touch only by their corners, animals may ‘glitch’ through this corner and magically appear inside the structure. If you are sleeping or otherwise inattentive, they can kill you.
BUG REPORT
Holes in water can kill you in survival modes.
Yes, the game lets holes appear in water. Lightning and other actions can destroy a block of water. Due to a bug in the water physics, this missing block may not refill, leaving a permanent ‘hole’ in water. A boat may get stuck in this hole and without any means of extraction, you will have to swim for the nearest shore. In many survival cases, this spells death! Either by pirhanna/shark/… or by freezing.
BUG REPORT
Permanent fires can destroy everything and kill you in survival modes.
Permanent fires may develop after a ‘natural’ fire is over. These are typically a single block, suspended in air that just keeps sputtering and burning. Usually they are found higher in the air but may be near the ground. They can catch other things, including the character, on fire.
Hi. Most permanent fires like the ones suspended in the air can be gotten rid of with explosions. I am experiencing this glitch too, and they are caused if there are too many fires in one area while the character is far away on a laggy device.

BUG REPORT
Flaky pistons can kill you in survival modes.
Pistons don’t always respond properly when activated. Even a simple pushbutton to activate them may take several ‘hits’ before the piston actually responds. If you use pistons to close a passageway or to stop water flow, quick action may be mandatory. Requiring severalmtaps to activate it could be the difference between life or death. Take this into account as you design with pistons.
BUG REPORT
Delayed animal respawning can kill you in survival modes.
As you travel through the world, the game ‘respawns’ animals in chunks which you have already visited, as you approach that chunk. Sometimes, there is a delay in this respawning and the animals don’t reappear right away. They may even be delayed long enough for you to be near or even UNDER the spot where they respawn. This causes an animal to appear magically out of nowhere, which immediatly attacks you. With no warning, you may well be killed.
Yes. That’s very true.
@Stanimus
Thank you for addressing the bugs.These bugs should be not too difficult to deal with if features are used wisely and with plan. Regardless, kaalus still has a job to do.
6 Months and not even a single new post
I’m a fan i bought the game so i have all the right to complain
Don’t let this game in forgiveness like DayZ
Why thanks YellOw!
(I get to all the comments late because I will sometimes go a couple days without checking them.) XD
If you are talking about this comment: “Thank you for agreeing me, for helping on keeping the atmosphere positive and I honestly think your opinion seems to be the shortest and the most balanced one.”, then I was talking to Elijah. Now I have a question for you: I’ve seen you commenting here many times, and I’ve noticed that, usually, you read all the comments, write a brief reply to everyone, then reply it as a reply to the last comment. I’ve also seen how people usually reply under the correct comments or write new, standalone comments when they want to open a new discussion. Now, what platform do you use to access WordPress and why don’t/can’t you reply under the correct comment or simply write a new one?
I am asking you because all of your comments seem to be confusing for those who don’t know how you usually post your replies, and you seem to be pretty confused too, as my reply for Elijah was under her comment and (at least for me and maybe for the others too) it was clear enough that it was a reply to her.
The game isnt dead its just in a coma with us the players being the brain cells trying to keep the game alive until consciousness returns which is kaalus. Makes sense?
Lets see which one will come first, the release of dual universe or Kaalus return. I’m sorry but once Dual Universe is released any voxel based sandbox games I played before will be dead to me.
Did none of you see Kaalus’ post on an old thread? It clearly shows 31 Jan 2018.
How far down is this thread? 🤔
I went pretty far down and didn’t find any continuing to the current day.
I guess a link would be much appreciated… It seems that neither I can find it (Maybe because I’m not used to use Tapatalk?), although I already believe you, but I think that a proof would be good for people who don’t.
In here?
I searched “Kaalus”, this site now contains 311 “Kaalus” words, but i didn’t find his post.
Please just check on my post again. I have posted a link and said you must search for “popping.” I have used that word in my reply to his post. You can also just search the WordPress site with this word. The post was a reply on another guy who guessed that the “new” update was furniture in 2015.
It is there.
If you post here using a Gmail account, you don’t get all the posts. I don’t know why. I get all the posts when I use a Facebook account.
Here is what was posted in “1.29 work”

Kaalus
Posted January 31, 2018 at 03:42 | Permalink | Reply
I now believe in fairies and dowsing! Grey San Miguel, how did you guess that? Yes, it was furniture I was thinking of. It needs a lot of bits and was only possible after 1.29 expanded to 32 bits.
ok
:)
I think he removed the comment g’dammit
What I think what happened, is that Kaalus replied to a comment, maybe on one of his many devices, way back in 2015, but it was offline at the time. Now he is testing the new updates and he was testing it on all the devices and four some reason he went on the browser or whatever he uses for comments and this comment uploaded.
So I see this as proof that SC is not dead. Just be patient. If he is at the testing stage, it won’t be long.
SC is not dead, because we play it
Kaalus is in silent mode, i don’t know, why.
I don’t understand why people put a “=” mark between Kaalus and SC.
SC is a game, Kaalus is a person.
SC is still alive, because we play with it, and we talk about it.
Kaalus state is unknown.
So the SC isn’t dying.
Kaalus’s silent is an idiotic thing.
Why does he not post something, to tell us, he still alive and works hard?
I hate that method, that Kaalus is doing.
He went away with words: I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.
So, i was excited.
But now, after six months silent, my patience is approaching the end.
I don’t want an update for SC.
Is just want to hear about Kaalus.
Is he alive? Working hard? Was there a tragedy in his family? Accident? Stop developing?
I play SC 1.29.17 and SC 2.1.14 and MCPE 1.2.6.2. All theese games are awesome.
I like theese.
I will keep play SC even if there is no update.
But i want to hear something about Kaalus.
I am not worried about SC
I am worried about Kaalus.
Possible things:
-can’t access wordpress
-dead
-working SO hard on the game
This is potentially exciting news.
However, as a cold, hard realist it’s no proof of any such thing. As far as we know, there could be a bug in wordpress which changed the year of that post. TBH, I kind of remember seeing that post way back in 2016. It just sounds a bit too familiar.
He disclosed the new feature as funiture on 2016jan24. The reply to Grey is dated jan31, but could it actually have been 2016 and not 2018? It is a possibility.
Even if your scenario is true (the post was on an old device…) that doesn’t mean it was Kaalus who ‘activated’ it. As far as we know, he could have given it away and someone else logged in with it. Or one of his kids (how old are they now?) may have borrowed it to check on something and triggered the post.
OR, he IS testing out the various devices and may be about to announce something. We can only wait and hope…
1. I have been on WordPress for very long and have never seen a bug like this happen.
2. The date clearly shows 31 Jan 2018, another bug I have never seen here
3. I have copied and pasted it, so how can I have mistaken that. You can see for yourself.
4. You say you are a realist, but we know Kaalus keep old devices to test SC on. So if what you say is true, Kaalus has abandoned SC completely and got rid of all the stuff. I do not think this is true, just my thoughts. What you say is possible, so is what I said. I did not claim it be the only explanation, but it is very plausible.
We agree on your last post, we can only speculate and hope…
Show us a screenshot of what you’re referring
Very logical reasoning. I agree.
I did not say you were mistaken about anything. Please don’t put false words into my mouth. All I did was postulate on other possibilities of what the data could mean. There are yet more possible reasons for this event.
I too checked out the post and I too have been browsing wordpress for years. Just because neither of us noticed such a bug before does not mean it didn’t happen. There are new bugs being found in old software all the time.
What triggered my reply was the use of the word ‘proof’. What we have here is not proof of any such thing like we hope for. WE, as in I too hope he’s working on another great new feature – or even a long-hoped-for one, or even a massive bug-fix! But to say that post was proof, is wrong. It may be guarded evidence but NOT proof. Read my post again, with a clear logical mind and you’ll see all I did was offer other speculations about that post.
I’m sure we can agree it’s at least suspicious that a reply to a thread which has been dead over 2 YEARS, suddenly appears for no apparent reason… Trying to read something amazing into it is not reasonable. And like I said, I vaguely recall the post but can’t be certain. I can certainly be hopeful, I just don’t want to fool myself into getting excited and end up being let down hard.
(Stupid worpress – sometimes it posts my reply at the correct spot, other times, not…)
No problem, point taken
He was a great developer ;( …
I just realized that Kaalus has mysteriously appeared in “1.29 work” responding to a user who guessed that Kaalus would add furniture.
Kaalus responded by speaking in the past tense.
So it’s not a wordpress bug. It’s a message from Kaalus…
I have a image of the kaalus comment:
https :/ / i.imgur . com / utYh6xr. jpg
(Remove all spaces)
Just look at the previous posts. We have been talking about it and I’ve also posted a screen capture.
How creepy.
Also, good notice! Useful evidence.
This is not the end of SC, but is not the beginning, so since is not the beginning, it’ll have an end. It’s the end of SC? I guess no, but no-one is sure about it, only Kaalus, but majority agree that is not the end, so we’re sure that is not the beginning, but maybe is not the end, but will have an end, but if the end is now? We don’t know, we only know two things: 1) Is not the beginning; 2) We don’t know if is the end. So maybe is not the end, so, don’t panic, except if is the end. If is the end of the game, don’t panic too, keep playing. So, is the end? We don’t know, but is not the beginning (except if Kaalus is making Survivalcraft 3, but this is another impropable history). THX by attention.
Ok wtf that’s just spam jumbles of begging and end
Isn’t somehwere in July 27 Kaalus’s birthday?
Oh my god. Dude for real?
Maybe he’s mad because we didn’t wish him lol
Probably…
BUG REPORT – Vanishing pistons!!!
DO NOT ‘PROGRAM’ PISTONS WHILE THEY ARE IN YOUR INVENTORY!!!!
Pistons may be ‘programmed’ while in your hotbar. If they are selected, you can tap the edit button to set the parameters of them. This (should be) a handy way to edit many identical pistons, but DO NOT DO THIS!
If you have multiple pistons when editing them in this way, ALL EXCEPT 1 WILL DISAPPEAR!!!
Yes, you could have 5, 10 or more pistons you want to set all the same but if you do this, you will only have 1 left. (This is only applicable to non-creative modes, of course.)
Kaalus, PLEASE address the bugs in your game. We paid for a properly working game, not one with all these bugs.
O_o
Keep that in mind when (or… If?) Kaalus will return, do not hesitate to report this bug ASAP.
Es encerio, ya es muchísimo tiempo.
This must be the longest break, hits the world record.
I know right
Now what! Wtf it’s been more than 7 months. Are you kidding me? There’s no way something is alright with Kaalus. After all so many people here are also worried af. Sorry to say that but I think Kaalus definitely must’ve been having an unpleasant time. Kaalus if you’re reading this, please let us know you’re ok. We’re starting to figure out the reason for the long disappearance and come up with false rumors and it’s wrong af.
Survivalcraft will die soon
It will only die when everyone who plays it has long forgotten about it. I intend to play it even without more upgrades. Yes, even with all the bugs!
Sometimes I feel like I kinda want to play the game but either ways, I’m not that interested as July 2017
Should we do a poll that consists of the following months you think would be when Kaalus will post and the month that get highest score should be the accurately predicted month when a new post will be posted. This should be interesting.
SCneophyte offered an over/under bet for March 1. She said over (after) and it’s looking like she may be right!
I know, her comment was like way back since last year, i say over.
Guys, good notice to whoever mentioned the use of “was furniture” was a past tense that may indicate his presence today.
I honestly don’t think so. Let’s better look at what he actually said:
“I now believe in fairies and dowsing! Grey San Miguel, how did you guess that? Yes, it was furniture I was thinking of. It needs a lot of bits and was only possible after 1.29 expanded to 32 bits.”
He literally says that at that time, he was thinking about furniture. Now how do you imagine that said in the present tense??? “Yes, it is furniture what I’m thinking of now.”…. or “Yes, it is furniture what I think of.”????? Excuse me, but it is only your imagination here. If he would have used the present tense there, the whole sentence would have had a different, wrong meaning.
Actually, if we think of analyzing what Kaalus said, why don’t we ask ourselves: Why did Kaalus say “It [furniture] needs a lot of bits” and he didn’t say “It needed a lot of bits”, as the game is ‘abandoned and discontinued’? I’m sure that he used the present tense there because furniture still needs a lot of bits to work in this game, so there is still a game, a continuing one.
Yes, the most likely explanation, is that Kaalus sent that message in 2015, but the device was not connected to the internet. Maybe he was now testing a new feature on all his devices, including that one. It now had internet connection and sent the message that was still pending since 2015. In previous testings, the app that sent the message was probably not activated. Maybe it is strange that he did activate it now though.
Just speculation, but I think it sort of makes sense.
Well, either your explanation is good or not (It has a good chance of being true), I’m sure that the past tense usage doesn’t have anything to do with the actual state of SC.
Johan, If you want to prove your speculation, why not put it to the test? By imitating Kaalus’s scenario, you’ll be able to prove if it actually is a possibility. So here’s what you should try out:
A) get a device (tablet, phone, pc etc…) whatever device you think is mostly reliable.
B) go to WordPress in your account, go to this page and open the reply user interface on to any comment (preferably to a new comment below to make it more noticeable) ready to type your sentence. (Do not post it yet)
C) Turn wifi off.
D) Post your reply and exit WordPress. (Make sure your device isn’t switched off completely)
E) Wait for… let’s say 24 hours
F) Turn wifi on and go back to WordPress
G) Check if your comment reply is posted, if it is, check the date. If the date of the comment says your time now, then your theory is right. Otherwise, if it’s the date it was post when the wifi was off, then your theory is incorrect. Also it might not work and pend if the wifi was off. Just try it out and please let me know what about your results. Thanks.
Not exactly 2015, but possibly on January 31, 2016, when furniture had been announced already. If you pretend for a second like it was written on that date, everything kaalus says in his post makes perfect sense in accordance with the mentioned time. SO it is safe to assume right now that this is only a wordpress bug.
Yes your date makes sense, but it still is not a bug, it is just a long delayed post, in the same way as when you send a WhatsApp while you are offline. If you get a connection a month later, that Whatsapp will then go through, but with a month ago’s date on it, not a bug, just delayed delivery.
That makes sense. I was just a bit confused with why it had to be delayed but I understand a bit more now. Thank you
Sorry, the date on the message is the actual date Kaalus wrote the message, but was only now delivered.
Same. I did mention the grammar used in the comment could be evidence that he “was thinking of furniture” now but Johan Steyn’s theory did prove that it could have been an upload delay due to the device being connected to the wifi just last month.
Sooo, did anyone actually run this test?
Even if the scenario turns out to be true, all it means is that someone turned the device on and connected it to the internet. Who that someone is we still don’t know…
I am trying to ask someone to try it
I do not need to test it, WordPress said that is what the app do.
Oh my god. Then… what? Does it mean that your theory was true in SOME way.
Then that introduces several more assumptions:
1. The wordpress app was installed on this mystery device. (I use the browser.)
2. A 2 year old version of said app is still being supported.
3. This 2 year old version behaved the way wordpress claims.
Unfortunately, none of these new assumptions give me any cause to be significantly more optimistic (maybe just slightly more, though). The first cannot be verified. The other 2 ARE verifiable if someone has the incentive to do so…
And, no it doesn’t mean it is true, it MIGHT only mean that it is one of several POSSIBLE scenarios, assuming all 3 above statements are true.
OK, then give a better explanation, apart from WordPress having a bug. Yes it is speculation, but speculation is a valid method to decipher events. That is what detectives use. Then they have a better chance of finding more clues. It gives direction. I don’t really need hope or anything, I just find it interesting, like a puzzle. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, no harm done. If I’m right, I don’t achieve much, but a little satisfaction. It is a game on its own.
What’s your poinr
I think it was my misunderstanding here… Sorry!
I did say it gives me a little more hope, but even assuming the ‘off-line device’ hypothesis IS correct, there are still other possible scenarios that don’t include Kaalus using this device to test new features.
And yes, speculation is used to generate hypotheses. Then these hypotheses must be tested, further information gathered and analyzed to see if it supports or denies the hypothesis. This is how logic and facts come together to form theories and truths. Speculation is only the first step in the logical scientific method.
All that being said, I would grant assumption #3. There is no way we can gain any insight into point #1, however. It is entirely possible this device was stolen, lost, misplaced, given away or sold. We CAN not know that it was used to test anything. (I want to believe it was, but without ANY evidence backing it up I cannot be sure.)
The one thing that bothers me about this entire scenario is the ‘feeling’ that I’ve read that post before. I know that isn’t a fact either, but to me it is a small point of evidence that tends to deny the hypothesis. (I remember laughing about him believing in fairies!) Can someone use the “way-back machine” to look into the past and see if that post existed earlier???
Also, please understand I am simply emphasizing the separation of fact from fantasy (speculation) because the word ‘proof’ has been thrown about without the support of actual facts. I do hope your ‘test device’ hypothesis is true but there are other possible reasons for the evidence we see. It’s all too easy to look at evidence with hopeful eyes and see what we want to see while ignoring all the other possibilities. That path leads to even greater disappointment if the truth is NOT as we fantasize…
Yes, proof is a strong word. I believe it to be a strong likelihood. In the same way people believe fossils are proof for evolution. There is a different between evidence and facts or proof. Even facts can be wrong. Evidence can never be wrong, since it is neutral. Facts are interpreted evidence. So two people might have different facts from the same evidence. Fossils are evidence and not facts. Looking at this as an example, evolution is still just a hypothesis and not even a theory. You need to have some proof before a hypothesis becomes a theory.
By the way, I have updated my TV world (RealColourTC) and I have uploaded a new Adventure world called “Circle of Islands.” It is an Island world, but I have connected several islands together with land bridges. The idea is to complete the circle of islands back to your beginning point, of coarse without dying. You might need to camp on an island to collect food etc. I have made sleepover points along the way, but certain biomes can be tricky. There could be dangerous animals along the route as well. Food and protection from the cold could stop you as well. This should be done on horseback.
Most of the stuff were made in survival mode, except the land bridges as well as stopover houses. The main island itself is great to survive on. Let me know what you think.
One of the best case scenario is kaalus coming back on march 1 with a fully featured multiplayer with voice chat, mine carts and rails, fishing mechanics, new and improved weather effects, most of the know bugs fixed, a lot more clothing options, new animals and biomes, a lot more items and a bunch of little features here and there to improve the game.
But would be impossible even if he spent all this time working on them and testing the features but its good to dream every now and then,
Really? REALLY? I think that kaalus maybe come back with 1-2 new features, if we are lucky…
Or maybe he is dead.
That would be amazing, clive and we can hope. But I’m not getting my hopes up too high.
Built-in chat isn’t a requested feature and would be a waste, IMHO. There’s some really good gaming apps for voice and text chat. Discord was made specifically as a low resource gaming chat app and it works very well.
For me, clothing options, more animals and ‘biomes’ are very low on my list, unless they actually give more options in survival modes. And he’ll likely never add minecarts (he said so) and rails – we need something even better! Maybe horse-drawn wagons would be OK with him…
That’s not an optimistic opinion. That’s an impossible one. Take them one by one, separately, and every of them is possible, but all of them at once is not.
Heh I wish
Kaalus is working on a new game?
Or a new Survivalcraft mechanic that he had to redo it from scratch and re-enter the features?
Servers?
Primitive animal domestication?
Animal breeding, offspring, gender?
Animal mating animations :-\:-P?
Realistic building, digging, quarrying?
Is he making a non-blocky world like in medieval engineers?
Npcs?
4 seasons?
Longer daytime?
Anything he would be doing, he is still there and will return one day…
A non-blocky world will never happen in SC. Kaalus would just make a whole new game. SC most likely wouldnt be able to easily implement that style of terrain.
We need ur updates in Survivalcraft
We miss u Kaalus :(
Can anyone here share a link of your survival worlds? I’d like to see what your world would look like.
Here’s one I’ve been working in for awhile. I’ve explored most of the big, jungle islands biome area and started building some. I’ve had about 250 SC days in it so far…

February 31st (no, I’m just kidding, this was a horrible comment, I’m sorry…..now, talking seriously: February 27th)
Probably this month or the next. I agree.
I lose :(….I hope that someone here can be right
Can’t wait for March or April
I had a fun time at SC, but I found something that puts my big dilemma MC x SC to the background. Have a look at Ylands. I’m sure most of you will at least spent the time till next Kaalus post happily gaming.
The only games that will replace MC & SC are Rising World and Medieval Engineers and for those who likes zombies (not me), Seven days to die.
That is the true development of sandbox games. You can maybe add Rust.
Space Engineers is pretty awesome, too. Since they updated it a while back though it doesn’t run well on my laptop. I don’t think these games will ever replace SC, but they will certainly draw attention to people who like those types of games. Ill always play SC because I like the way it feels, even if there’s a better more mechanically advanced game than SC
Yeah… That way it feels… Feature-rich and not too modern at the same time… That’s the reason why I couldn’t replace it with any newer sandbox or blocky game.
The only game for me that can replace SC is Dual Universe.
Fun fact of the day: mentions of SC or Kaalus being “dead” on this comment thread is up to 21
Interesting fact: Kaalus’ name has been mentioned on this page 353 times in 359 main comments (including this one). I can’t imagine how Kaalus could filter all our important comments (feature requests, bug reports, etc.) if he would have been reading all of our comments and sub-comments! We are calling him in almost every comment!
We are almost obsessed with him!
*360 main comments with mine.
Also, 353 of 1246 total replies contain his name. We mention his name at every 3,5 replies.
Ah Yes, Kaalus’s name it is only outnumbered by the tenth word in this sentence
this word is more common than most!
I enjoy lurking in the shadows of this blog!
how mysterious I am ;-)
most of the feature requests are just plain stupid.
Alright then, out of all the theories we have come up with, we will finally be revealed with what really happened. So I hope Kaalus could let us know why he always throughout Survivalcraft history, leaves a huge 6-12 months gap of us waiting between big updates. That includes what update 2.2 work really has for us for waiting that long. I am just really excited if it is really worth waiting longer for having him back again with something big. Right?
History tells us that he’ll just show up like there was nothing amiss and start posting when he feels like it. (Assuming he DOES show up…)
I’ve updated my world: “Circle of Islands” to make it a bit easier in the beginning but also a bit more challenging at other places. it is now set to challenging by default, but is best to play as an Adventure. You need to complete a round going from the big main island around quite a few islands, with different biomes. Your mission is to return to the spot where you started. Most of what is done on the main island, was done in challenging, as well as on the first and last island. Just to survive on one of these islands would be a challenge as well.
The islands are also not without animals, so be careful.
Has anyone been unable to post to CC and then got it working? This is yet another of those bugs that “won’t kill you in cruel mode”. Maybe not, but I haven’t been able to post to CC, except briefly under 1.29. This bug has plagued me for years!
So, if somebody figured this bug out, please let me know? How about it Kaalus??? How about fixing all your your long lived bugs?????
Yes, this is a serious bug. It works only for small worlds. This is what I do. If you have iOS, your luck is out since there are no file manager.
Android:
I upload the world to SD card. I then upload that world to Dropbox manually. I sometimes use Total Commander + plugin, sometimes dropbox itself or just through the web browser (Opera). In Dropbox I then share the file and copy the link. I then go in SC to publish the link, which I then just paste.
Windows:
A bit more tricky, since the world is difficult to find. I use Total Commander again. Search your hard drive for CandyRufusGames. You shopuld find it in a place like this:
C:\Users\…..\AppData\Local\Packages\20961CandyRufusGames.Survivalcraft2_c7jxg4av36ap6\LocalState\Worlds
You’ll see the worlds in folders there. There are no names to the worlds, but you can into the folders to check the dates to see which world you were in last. You can also check the xml file for the name – too cumbersome.
You now need a .scworld file. It is a zip file and Total Commander can open it like a folder. You now must copy the files (Chucks32 & Project) into the file, overwriting the files in it. You will also need your texture pack and skin in the Embeded folder. You can now upload that file to Dropbox and do the same as on Android.
I hope this helps Stanimus. I’ve been doing this for a long time now.
When I said that it only works on small worlds, I meant that CC only works with small worlds. This workaround works with all worlds. Maybe somebody can share how to get this done on iOS. uploading to Dropbox does not work, but does it work with the other sharing service? If it does, use that to get it on your computer, where you can then upload to Dropbox. You can then copy the Dropbox link with your browser in iOS and paste in SC.
Thanks for trying to help but my problem is different. PUBLISH LINK is never active. I can get to a SELECT USER screen but no user is shown. (I wish I knew what was different when it briefly worked…)
(Since others have seen fit to advertise their worlds here…)
Stanimus introduces his first Sky Sphere challenge world.
Sky Spheres challenge is a severely modified ‘natural’ world. You might ask, “What does that mean?”
Well, this world is completely empty except for two large spheres, each one holding a naturally generated terrain. Your goal is simply to manage to survive in this limited world.
You start off at the top of a small mountain in one of the spheres. Near you is a chest with some minimal equipment and food. Can you manage to survive in this small environment? I don’t know – perhaps. If you can find the other sphere and build a bridge across to it, your chances are much increased. Oh, don’t fall. There is no ground below (not even bedrock) you so you’ll always fall to your death.
Have a try and let me know how you fare. This may be the beginning of a series of similar maps…
https: //dl.dropbox.com/s/g7ioslw56b25r7c/Sky%20Spheres%20ch. scworld?dl=1
(you’ll have to remove the 2 spaces.)
Nice world.
umm
There is a hole on the sphere where you spawn. The hole on the wall is circa 8×6 block big. Maybe, this was caused by um…. programming..
Not a huge bug, and the world is playable and enjoyable with this.
I just noticed :)
* * * * *
5/5
Yes, I noticed that recently. It wasn’t there when I first made it so it might be some weird glitch between using W.E. and the vanilla SC. Sorry I didn’t see that before I posted it!
Just don’t jump!
And let me know how it works out, please? I can make more similar ones.
Hi!
I think, Kaalus is doing the world’s worst marketing method.
He follows theese rules:
– Release the big update
– Moderate the site more often
– Listen the customers’s, users’s opinion, advise.
– If need, make bugfix release(s).
– Moderate the site often
– Listen the customers’s, users’s opinion, advise.
– If everything is OK, get disappeared from every site, forum, social media.
– Do not post, write anything and do not moderate for minimum 3 months.
– Go holiday or somewhere else.
– Abandon everything that is related to the work.
– Get back to work. Do the next update.
– Repeat from the first point.
Have you ever seen Mojang’s twitter or facebook? They post something everyday. They keep in contact with their users.
What is that Kaalus is doing? The answer: ???, because he is in the quiet phase.
That is the world’s worst marketing method.
I do not believe, that Kaalus is very busy. I do not believe he does not have time for us. For his users and fans.
I keep play with SC 1.29.17 and 2.1.14 even if there will not be more updates. I like theese games.
I like Survivalcraft.
But
I hate Kaalus.
I hate that person, who excites others, and suddenly totally abandon them.
But!
Maybe, there is a tragedy in Kaalus’s life. I hope, not. And if it is true, i am sorry. I hope, everything is OK.
But if everything is OK, i can not understand Kaalus’s behavior.
You made an amazing point here and I agree fully. Yes, you are on point. Though Kaalus is an amazing developer and it is really annoying when we are left for more than half a year. I know many developers who do this too. It’s really strange and pointless from our perspective but you really don’t know what is on about him. If he could only let us know, then we will understand and accept his disappearance. But ignore it, it’s really him, his life. I know how it is our right as users to not be neglected like that also know why it happens in every big update. When Kaalus leaves users wondering where he is, users will lose interest and it could be a problem in marketing. Yes, I’ve seen so many big gaps between updates in Kaalus’s WordPress for the past 3 years of experience and I agree that he might have gone on holiday somewhere else. Because during the release of the furniture update, Kaalus said that he was off because he went on a holiday somewhere. Again, it’s his life, not ours but it is sometimes our business to know what happened to our favorite developer after waiting for more 6 months that happened several times in history.
Please do not use that strong word, ‘hate’. I’m sure you mean you hate how he’s behaving, regarding his non-communication. But you don’t know the man enough to say you hate HIM.
Ok, right.
I was wrong. I do not hate him.
I hate his behavior.
Kaalus has NO marketing method and that’s a big part of the problem. Have a look at his earlier rant against advertising. He thinks it’s at best a waste of time and money and at worst a great evil set upon the land!
So it’s no wonder his customer base barely grows and we are left with trying to advertise for him, just to try and keep the game from dying. (This was one of the reasons I fear he really doesn’t care too much about this game!)
Guys, you’ll doubt this because this may sound hard to believe but believe it or not, I know at what date Kaalus will publish a new post. Yes I literally saw it, yes literally! I even know what the title of the post is! You’ll think I’m crazy but I’m telling you serious stuff that you wouldn’t care or bother knowing about. I thought it would be interesting letting you all know despite the fact that the information that I am about to give you on the next comment isn’t very specific. I also hope that it wouldn’t alter the outcome that is required in order for it to be true. But it’s really important for sharing with you all.
Oh really… well what day is it then? And what’s the title? Also, how did you find such “information”?
Well you see, from out of nowhere I suddenly remember seeing this device screen sometime yesterday and the device was on kaalus.wordpress.com where the latest post was above “All Platforms”. The title had 3-4 words, a date that had February or March (I don’t know which) and the day of the month had a number 4 in it. It was either 4 itself or a two-digit number ending with the number 4. So it was either February 24, March 4, March 14 or March 24. I don’t know how I suddenly got that thought but it was very vivid. Not the vivid kind where is so easy to remember. But the strong spiritual connection with that image in my mind have me a familiarity with it. I had to tell you all about it, can’t stay shut.
You dreamed?
It was just in your mind?
I do not believe in numerology and esotericism.
Also, did you know if I am not the only person who is familiar with this image, then it could be a Mandela Effect? Yes it could. I won’t be surprised if the date is right where it is in the image.
Many strange things happened to me in my life. I’ve learned that we still don’t know enough about the world we are living in and that not everything that seems illogical is impossible. Maybe we just don’t know what the true logic is. So I believe you. But I’m not sure how accurate your vision could be… Have you ever had any premonition or strange feelings before? I would want just to know; I don’t need to know what exactly as I, myself often find it hard to tell the others what I’ve seen or felt… Anyway, are you sure the ‘4’ wasn’t in the hour and not in the date? We just have to wait and see…
Yes, I’ve been experiencing premonition several times. Also I’m pretty sure this one will be quite interesting to find out, I mean, it will happen somewhere around February 24 – March 24. Also, yes I 100% know the number ‘4’ is the date, not the time. Also the title of the new post has so many words, you’ll see when it’ll be published. Anyways, thanks for understanding about this crazy story. Not many think that life isn’t as it seems and they think that life is fully known. I forgot to tell you that, the number ‘4’ has been coinciding a lot in my life and it started happening this month. I’ll give you examples if you want me to because there are 3 experiences that I could mention you that mysteriously clearly resemble the number ‘4’.
Interesting… I often see number 7 and it’s often in combination with 3 or 4. I’ve also had that kind of ‘experiences’ you are talking about… I’m glad I do know I’m not the only one and I’ll be more glad if your premonition would turn out to be true.
Thanks. I really want it my premonition to actually happen so I can feel relieved that my premonition is true. Well good luck for us finding out if the date is true, It’s gonna be heck of a moment of truth.
ohhhh… the moderation….
aham…
knowyour meme.co m/memes/the-man dela-effect
“people share false memories of past events”
past events
So:
You travelled into the future with the DeLorean with Marty McFly, but becouse you did not have much time, you just tried to look kaa lus.wordpress.co m, and the looking was not perfect. You just saw a number, “4”, and come here to share your theory of number four was the date’s piece, and Kaalus will come back feb24 or march4 or march24.
Who else have this?
So, because number 4 has been coinciding a lot in your life, your volition will influence Kaalus, and Kaalus come back on feb24 without knowing anything about your volition.
Sure
I think, what you told is a big datura, crap.
I think, you believe very strong in this. No problem.
This is your opinion and my opinion is above.
We have to wait.
And if Kaalus come back in feb24 or march4 or march24 then I did not say anything.
PS:
Sorry if my writing is too rude, rough, coarse, graceless.
When i wrote, i was not angry, annoyed to you.
So if my words offend you and/or anyone else, i am sorry.
I don’t think he’ll see our comments, right? I mean… come on man, he wouldn’t bother scrolling like thousands of comments to find this. If so, all I mentioned could subsequently alter that premonition and be considered “crappy”… Sure, I agree. You’re making a point.
READ THIS COMMENT IF YOU WANT MY OPINION ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO KAALUS.
I have used a plenty of resources and ideas that prove it. You’ll know what I mean, just read this all.
“Unless something catastrophic is discovered, I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.”
If you are going with what I think:
Then, think about it. Let’s say you were a developer of a video game, ok? So wouldn’t you return for after like 1-3 months if you were ‘focusing on working on the next feature update’? Also what something catastrophic did Kaalus discover? Non. I don’t think he is working on the next feature. I know Kaalus very well, when he works on a big update, he always posts, gives out interesting hints, his progress on the update, things that are being fixed. He is very intuitive to us when it comes to working on with a feature. THERE’S NO WAY, absolutely no way that he has been quite for 8 months with nothing to tell us. The only evidence provided that disproves this is the mysterious reply on January 31st, 2018 to a comment that’s way back in time. Very little chance of him still working around, very little evidence and there’s no other clue of him around for a solid 8 months.
But ow! If you are going against what I think, then:
You are in a situation where evidence of his disappearing for 8 months full with no posting or anything WHILE doing the BIG update feature, then the long period of time and the reference in his post ‘working on the next feature 2.2’ illustrate that the update will be big and MUST be the biggest update of all time. MUST be!
Remember the Engine?
Remember the Furniture?
Remember the *insert feature here* ?
My point is as follows: nothing has happened that is out of the ordinary.
speculation aside, one must realize there is a definite pattern that we call kaalus.
months of inactivity regarding the blog, followed by a few short weeks of rapid fire posting.
I was one to fall into this trap “way back when” but now I have learned there is no knowing what is happening on the other side.
I dare not mention potentialities due to the ever sensitive community and that in reality they are never true
Don’t get your hopes to high; though, there is always a great feature yet to come :-D
First of all, dude Justin! It’s been so long since you ever commented here! Nearly a year well, in my perspective! Welcome back! Don’t worry I’m not saying that he’s not coming back! Well yes, I pretty much do know he’s coming back WITH a big feature. MUST be a big featur… ONE Of the biggest in Survivalcraft history. Trust me, just look carefully, you’ll see everything from the future. It’ll be a big feature!
I’m wondering what feature that isn’t online multiplayer or modding API could be if it’s really so. But all we have to do now is to wait. We’ll know one day…
Yeah, pretty much.
I agree! is is a long time!
My passion is programming, and now more than ever I am working on bigger things than my very compulsively built structures in SC (the best game in the world)
Soon I will make a very nice tool for SC the details of which I give no hint
I Don’t Want Competition ***Yet*** :-D
for now, I reside in the shadows of Special K’s Blog ;-)
Nice. I’m looking forward for that.
Someone please correct me I’m wrong, but isn’t this the longest Kaalus has ever been on hiatus? I’m growing a little concerned.
I think someone here already said that if he doesn’t return until March this would be his longest disappearane, although I’m not sure who and how right he/she was.
Yes it is, you’re right, correction not necessary because this is the longest he has ever left us, neglected, suffering from survivalcraftsick… jk why am I making this a big deal.
Seriously, am I the only one in the entire world who has this freaking bug???
“PUBLISH LINK” is never highlighted. There is no ‘Active User’ to choose from.
I CANNOT PUBLISH TO COMMUNITY CONTENT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
WTF, Kaalus. Why is your game picking on ME?
I have been a player since 1.25. I’ve played on at least 4 different android devices, from sys 2.3 to 6.0.
WHY ME ? ? ?
That’s not unusual sjfriday. There have been moments where I saw something that I had seen before,.. even though I had never seen it before. Like having a dream taking place in a house I would later live in, but years before it was ever built. Or some event that is happening, I remember from the past even though it had never happened before. It’s called de-ja-vu. :D
Hey listen, I’m pretty sure that I know how to compare a deja vu and an actual vivid vision. At that day I haven’t experienced a deja vu, I experienced an actual premonition. Either ways even if I was right, it doesn’t make it 100% happening on March 04, 14 or 24 because of certain unavoidable circumstances that influence in creating major ramifications. However, it isn’t like literal sense because patterns do emerge from it based on what happened. Just wait, we will see if Kaalus is being influenced by the comments, if not then he’ll probably be back this March.
BUG REPORT – split-screen multiplayer BREAKS adventure maps
Multiplay can ‘break’ adventure mode and other pre-made maps! When an additional character is created, they will always spawn at the drop-off point, no matter how well the map is set up, unless it is ALWAYS kept with 4 players. The map maker has no control over this. You can create the map and set the reapawn point for each player. But if one is removed and added back in later, he will spawn AT THE START AGAIN – NOT WHERE YOU SET IT. This is NOT GOOD!
So, adventure and cruel mode (made) maps should be created with all 4 players. Then the user will have to delete the other characters (every time they restart).
Can’t one change the initial spawn point(drop off) in the xml file and then add the rest of the players in creative mode before switching to adventure? I’ve tested in all but adventure mode
Thanks, I’ll look into that. I hope it will work even if they delete then re-add a player in, too.
Kaalus might be back in the summer, he better be back soon or I’ll kill myself. Also don’t take that seriously, I won’t kill myself.
Can you just shut up and wait?
I take suicide threats very seriously. If you or anyone else you know is considering suicide, call the hotline or police.
Weird but no I won’t
“Kaalus will be back before school starts” … NOT
“Kaalus will be back before Halloween” … NOT
“Kaalus will be back before Thanksgiving” … NOT
“Kaalus will be back before Christmas” … NOT
“Kaalus will be back before February” … NOT
“Kaalus will be back before March” … NOT
Now we have “Kaalus will be back before summer”? ??? Only time will tell…
You forgot Easter!
Can’t be, it is summer where I am anyway… Autumn is beginning now.
Ha! Good point.
I wonder if Kaalus is co-developing with Rising World. probably not, but is so much like SC, you’ll be amazed. They will even be adding electrics soon. There almost all the animals from SC in it, but everything is vector graphics, just as I once said SC should be. At one stage I said SC should have graphics like Rust, well RW is SC with vector graphics. I’m not getting the game, because I know I’ll get addicted to it. I am not willing that a game take over my life. With SC it bad enough.
SC will be my game, but it would be interesting to know if they have any communication with Kaalus. Maybe Kaalus might move SC over to real life vector graphics some time in the future, maybe SC 3 or 4.
I kinda wish I could play rising world, but sadly I do not have the time or energy now
Yes, to invest so much time to learn a new game is kind of too much. Even though RW has superb realistic graphics, it still lacks quite a bit that SC offers, especially Electrics and more challenging survival. Graphics are not everything, other Minecraft would not be so successful, to me it actually looks quite terrible, except if you add mods etc.
Blasted ‘moderation’
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
OK, let’s get off this losing discussion of our absentee developer.
Here’s a short video of a many-state furniture piece. This one has 27 states. I made it ‘connected’ but forgot the major limitation of connectedness, so it isn’t truly connected. (I was hoping to have it change states by electricity – ah, well…)

Does anyone have any fun worlds they would like to share? Maybe theme parks, casinos(with games made from circuits and dispensers), Water parks? I am looking for inspiration from my city and any worlds of the sort would be great.
Try my world on community content. Last that I checked it was second, Real Colour TV. Apart from the TV, I have a few elevators (one from long ago), a train (horizontal elevator), animal traps (far away though – crushers using furniture as well as pistons – separate), log cabins, numerous tunnels and underground gardens and more. It is big though.
I downloaded it a few days ago, and it’s amazing!
Thanks. Enjoy
Just look up Keralis’s inspiration series
Just how do you propose we “look up” worlds? There is no such feature on CC…
Lol sorry it’s on YouTube. The videos showcase mostly modern buildings and it’s just meant for viewer inspiration.
It’s a good series. I’m looking for something more “furniturey” if you know what I mean.
I especially DISLIKE the first one since it looks so ugly right now.
There are two problems with making a realistic building.
1.Scale
AND
2.The height limit(128 blocks, I hate it so much)— This creates the scale problem.
I love this game but its getting boring without updates
Kaalus’ quote: “wait for the spark to return”.
I’m not a doctor, but I suggest taking a 1-2 month break from survivalcraft if it’s getting boring. After a month, when you play it, everything will seem novel. Trust me
Scdude is right. Last Saturday I’ve sneakly played SC for one hour again… I’ve been caught in a busy period and I haven’t played SC for some months… Starting surviving on a small island again felt like magic… Just try to take a bigger break from it… It helps a lot!
My comment is still awaiting moderation, so I’ll re-post my comment… Delete the space between the two t of https
I didn’t know what to do and I was reading some older posts by Kaalus…
ht tps://kaalus.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/1-28-is-coming/
“I took a break from working on Survivalcraft. Most recent update was in July and last post in April. That’s 5 and 8 months ago.
However, that does not mean I will not come back :-) It’s all about getting burnt out and waiting for the spark to return. If you work on the same thing for several years, this sometimes happens.”
Maybe he’s just taking a break and waiting for “that spark” to return?
Yep. It’s just that this has been the longest he’s gone without posting and we’ll have to wait a while longer. Sometimes the waiting for “the spark” to return can be continuous, and over time seemingly exponential. So the breaks will come and go, and one day he will stop working on the game altogether.
Sometimes it returns and then you sit down to start coding and your like “naaaahhh” and then you do that for like 3 months
At this point I don’t care about a spark. He doesn’t need a spark to fix the myriad bugs! Plus it’s been my experience that working on mundane stuff (like bug fixes) may often light that spak of inspiration.
My opinion is that he is just taking a break. He said in some posts that 1.29 was a major release, then he came up with 2.0, another major release, and after that we had 2.1, another majore release. Maybe Kaalus is just taking a break until the next major or not release
RECORD BROKEN!
Kaalus has officially broken the record for being missing. Remember how I said if he didn’t post on March 6 he would break his record for being missing? Now he has. We can all celebrate now.
🍻
Can someone give me building advice? I’d like to improve my skyline but I’m not exactly sure how.

Maybe a genius somewhere here can help me.
I know, the image below uses shaders. Notice the water reflecting the light. Shaders usually spread lights realistically than vanilla. So I suggest putting more invisible lighting to smoothen the light distribution to you world. Maybe that’ll work
And the other reason is that Survivalcraft lighting suxx
Who says new post this month?
Ha!
That was a legitimate question btw
We are trying to guess what we’ll never manage to. Who knows? And better said, who cares? Of course, we want to know that he’s okay, we want to know if there will be more updates (which would be nice but not necesarilly, as the game already is the best for us), but more than that? Does all this stress of him ‘never coming back’ or not coming back any soon’ do anything good for us? Doesn’t all this time wasted on questions and guesswork really have any more practical use? Of course, I want him to come back too, but with or without him, the game is still fun, and if it isn’t anymore, take a break and it will be! And furthermore, this game is not the only leisure source in our universe! And if SC is the only game that you still like, move on to other activities while taking this break! How much did the technology dependence evolve in its few years of existence? I just want to remind some of you that the first computer was functioning in 1946 and people still lived their lives and had fun before they existed. Sure, they seem the most convenient and fun way to spend your time, but you would have more money, for, let’s say, SC 3 or any other game or devices if you’d spend less electricity on your actual device. There are thousands of reasons for which you could use your computer less, and there are thousands of other activities (I won’t spam a list here) there are more or less fun and that could help making your life more diverse and less boring. Another activity in the same old landscape always makes an incredibly huge difference. We don’t necesarilly need to be patient, but we need to search for another fun generators for a while. One day he’ll return; until then we have to stop getting bored and asking questions we’ll never certainly answer to here. For me, the topic of this blog is the game itself, not the absence of its more or less beloved developer. There would be less to scroll down if we’d talk about more interesting subjects regarding this game, without filling 500 comments and sub-comments with the same, boring, repeating, exasperating subject. Complains about his absence here will just stress you and the others more, because you re-read the replies an remind once more that he is not back. You just ruin others’ moods when complaining again. (Sjfriday I do know I’ve put a lot of ‘you’ in it, but just to be clear I’ve been speaking to everyone, including you; not just to you.)
Stopping this kind of discussions will be beneficial to everyone. Personally, I see it as a step ahead in eliminating the Kaalus-not-here boredom and beginning to diversify your choices when it comes yo leisure.
Yes you’re right
*the other’s moods and *when it comes to leisure
Sorry for aggresively using the word ‘ruin’, but that’s simply what I feel when we open the subject again, and I don’t wish my worst enemies to feel it. The only reason I come more rarely here is just because I’m already afraid of this subject (Oh, no, not again…)
Try again to change the subject:
Does anyone want to make a really long animation sequence for a many state furniture? I can combine as many states as you want into a single furniture piece. This would be great for a 3-D ‘television’ or fishtank or something.
Or a bigger challenge yet! Design a 2-piece fishtank where fishes swim from one block into the other. I can make them connected and they’ll change at the same time, automatically.
scDude – It’s jus my opinion and style preference, but circular angles and lots of glass, and bright blue and silver colors make the coolest skylines. :)
If I had any worlds that were finished, I would share them! XD
*sigh
So has anyone ever seen the kingdom of Elswyr. It has been my all time favorite community world. The architecture and style is the coolest thing! If I actually end up keeping a downloaded world forever, it has to be really good!
OK, here’s another:
Will someone run tests to see if complicated furniture causes the complexity limit ‘bug’ faster than simple furniture? I’ve found pistons will cause it quickly. Standard blocks will cause it too but it takes a lot. We know that furniture does pretty quickly but, does the complexity of the furniture matter? I suspect it does…
Sometime soon, The world will behold the power of a new input/output engine being developed for Survivalcraft. My own design, this utility will empower gamers to perform the most ridiculous of things to their projects (some of them could be dangerous; however, there may be safeguards in place to recover augmented projects…). Please, show some support for this massive undertaking I have only just begun, this build is in its infancy.
In other words: I am developing a tool as you read this message. A tool that will provide near infinite control of pre-world setup in survival craft
Just as a Spoiler, imagine cruel mode, except, you are dropped off with a level of 1 e17
and as a spectacle, in the middle of the continent or somewhere in the ocean far, far, far away
That part is easy, what we need is to be able to disable each survival mechanic individually. Like, disable food rot but keep catching flu.
I’m still interested since I like building adventure mode maps! Keep us updated…
It is sad to say, I cannot edit Survivalcraft, only the worlds before they are generated
Woohoo!!!
check out this exclusive test of the I/O machine
input: (Copied from inside the program)
activity.run(“Test hey! ;He Cannot See Me?;I have a new friend! he is right above me!;What a sad wreck you turned out to be kid, imaginary friends are for babies;”);
Output: (Copied from the java output terminal window)
hey! I have a new friend! he is right above me!
What a sad wreck you turned out to be kid, imaginary friends are for babies
I will admit, this is a rather odd test; though, a deeper look into the code would explain why this input and output should be funny
regardless of the message, there is a reason that i have created this IO Engine: this will be clear when the project is able to interface with SC, I will soon need a professional logo for this, and i have one in mind!
March 14 or 24! Fingers crossed!
Quite a while ago i said March 18, we’ll see.
Ok. Sounds good. As long as its March. Waiting for that long makes it feel like a big deal for the game (I hope)
If we see ver 2.2, which I do think will eventually come, I think these are most likely:
1. Full Multiplayer
2. More animals (always)
3. Updated spawning of animals
4. New plant based food source
5. Updated furniture
6. VR (a real possibility) – explaining why it is taking so long.
7. A new weapon
100. Vector based graphics (more in the future when most cellphones can handle it). At the moment Rising World and Medieval Engineers (I suppose 7dtd as well, but I hate zombie games) are king at this, but they miss the playability and challenge of SC.
Does anyone want a Jawa skin? XD
Cause I made one a few years back.
8. Animal aging and reproducing: A feature that will balance the game.
Vector based terrain will never be put in SC. Just doesnt make sense. SC is a block game and always will be.
Why not?
Why must it stay a blocky game? Yes it is true that Kaalus said something to the effect when we complained about making roof tiles etc with furniture, but why can there not be a transformation to the game or at least a new version. Rising World has done exactly that and most of Rising World’s ideas are taken from SC. They are even adding electricity.
You say this as if you have a crystal ball.
Look, Kaalus could absolutley make a new game that is built to handle destructible terrain like that, but all of SC works with a block system. It would be very hard and would take a long time to switch over to a whole new game mechanic, thats all
Rising world and Medieval Engineers are both blocky games underneath but works with vector graphics. So when you build, you build in a block system, just like SC. It is more evident with ME, but RW works the same. So there is a matrix of blocks, but is hidden from view, because they use vector graphics. So to change SC to vector graphics, you don’t need to create a new game.
One of the biggest reasons for choosing blocky graphics in the first place, was because of performance. The moment you go to smooth vector graphics, you need a lot more graphics performance. In the blocky games, there are already vector graphics present, in the animals, the water flow and even the blocks themselves use square vector graphics. If SC could not change to vector graphics, we would not have flowing water. So if people want SC to stay a blocky game and never become a vector based game, they are too late, it already has vector graphics in it, just very little.
Go watch videos of ME or RW and see what I mean. When you dig, you chip away at rock, but it still works in a matrix grid, but one block takes a few hits before you destroy it, so you can dig half blocks. This is completely possible in SC with upgraded graphics. If Kaalus is not going to do it, it is OK, other people are already doing it and even MC might have it someday. A new update is on its way for very upgraded graphics in MC, but still blocky.
But in a sense you are right, most people don’t like change, they don’t like progress and therefore keeps on using the boring default texture packs, in SC and MC. They don’t even go for Hi Res skins. SC players top texture pack is a Minecraft pack. So, yes people are creatures of habit. For me that is too dull, but most like dull…
Just to make it clear on your point that all of SC is a block system, in the same way RW and ME are as well and in the same way SC, RW and ME are not. SC is in a sense not if you look at the flow of water, clouds, animals, the player, dropped meat & bird & ores, pumpkins, the rain, arrows + spear (when they get stuck in the ground it is 100% vector graphics), anything you throw, piston movement, explosions and even the player’s and animals movement are not blocky.
Furniture animation is blocky, but piston movement is vector. So SC is already on its way…
But you are right, it will take a while. It is however not as if Kaalus has not disappeared for ages. But for now I am just hoping for proper LAN. The rest I don’t care much for now. I have waited for years for SC to have proper multiplayer so I can play with my boys and if it ever comes, they might be out of the my home. If Kaalus brings out an update (IF) and it does not contain MP, I’ll be finished with SC. I have been a loyal supporter and have contributed a lot to the game, on the forums, texture packs, worlds and even a bit of furniture on community content and skins, but like Stanimus, my patience is also wearing thin.
This dead silence is not doing anybody any good, not for SC, not for Kaalus and for sure not for us.
This makes perfect sense. I agree especially with the vr possibility but judging by the extensive period of time of his disappearance, I think it’s definitely a big techy feature (not as in-game) but as in the coding/programming for improving the game. VR is a possibility but I think it may involve something REALLY BIG for the game. Something that will defy MC.

Way before.
Looks like that didn’t happen. But more likely, it’s just hindsight bias. So whatever.
BUG REPORT
Wearing shoes can kill you in survival modes!!!
Yes, for some strange reason once the character is above level 10 or 11, wearing shoes will actually SLOW YOU DOWN while climbing steps! Rather than a smooth walk up the stairs, he pauses at every step and this slows him down horribly. This slow climb can easily get you killed if you are trying to get away from an enraged beast. Take the shoes off and he walks up them much faster, but don’t stop to take them off with a tiger on your tail!
P.S., So, how many bugs does that make now, that CAN kill you in survival modes???
I do not accept your challenge.
Out of all the bugs you’ve noticed, save them all down somewhere like on your notes on your device so then one day you could post them all into one comment when Kaalus is back to ask for bug reports.
Oh well, I said Kaalus would respond on 18 March. I suppose I was wrong, yet the day is not finally over. It is a Sunday, so let’s extend it to tomorrow…
If no dates work out for us for this month or the other then it’s a definite 100% new post this summer.
…and if not this summer, then definitely definitely in the fall. If not the fall, the certainly for next Christmas. If not by then, then absolutely definitely certainly most assuredly by this time next year!
For some strange reason, I have my doubts…
IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS THEN PLEASE REPLY AND LET ME KNOW.
I just got a new premonition:
Two posts:
“Why I … …” – second post
“Problems with A***” – first post
It was a 2 second vision of scrolling through two posts and seeing the first post having the title “Problems with A***” it was an abbreviation that started with an A then had 1-3 more letters. Second one said “Why I … …” it was definitely a statement so it didn’t have a question mark at the end. I almost feel like it actually happened or will happen which is worth sharing because why not. If you have any questions for details please feel free to ask.
Wishful thinking + imagination ≠ “premonition”, which certainly ≠ reality
+100
It will be reeeeeeeally freaky if Kaalus actually posts something matching what you described later. XD
Yes. I just hope he doesn’t see it.
Or Kaalus could see your comment and post something following that description on purpose just to play with us. /:)
That would be the greatest gift of my life…
If you are not playing with us (Can’t I be suspicious for a second? Premonitions can be true, as well as invented.), then I hope your premonitions of him posting again are true. Just watch out for the third premonition, fourth and seventh ones. I believe those will be the most meaningful. (I have my own reasons for that…).
Alright. They also sound so silly, especially when they don’t actually happen. But when they do actually happen, it’s terrifying but in a very good way.
Kaalus will never post again. It’s the truth. It’s not even sad anymore lol
Come back in 2, 5, 10 or 20 years and see my comment and it will still be true! :-)
How about we move on with our lives and stop asking? Lets get some new games/hobbies.
The internet has 1.2 exabytes of information.
Don’t EVER waste you precious time complaining!
If I’m proven wrong, it shall be a miracle, right?

Perhaps Survivalcraft 2 was a money grab and he has moved on? :)
Kaalus didn’t just make SC. He made it with love. I don’t see that antisocial developer who just waits for the money; neither that expert in interacting with his clients for the product to be known and sold. I just see a honest person, who said exactly what he had to. He rarely answered to any of the replies that came from his community of survivalists, but when he did it, he did it with the same love. And if he didn’t fix bugs, it is that he rarely looked deep inside the community, to see all the bug reports. He let us to communicate by ourselves and establish communities. Would it be better if he would have been active and implied in anything going on about this game? No, and now speaking of it it would be odd to see a developer that mad about his own game. I don’t know… I don’t have any proof for it… But I feel that love, and that’s stronger than any proof… I’ve felt many strange things in my life… I can’t say my our Sjfriday’s predictions are good or not, but I know what I feel… And I will not blame you if you don’t feel the same… But please, let’s give him another chance on the top of the chances already gone… He could be taking a rest, he could have all the problems the life can strike with at once or he can be even dead if you like to be pessimistic… and it’s not his fault! He is not antisocial, so if he returns, he will sure post again. He is not that seller which is friendly with the community for his product to be sold, so until he has something to say, he will stay silent. Perhaps he has been taking break all this time, and therefore he had nothing to tell us and no feature to show us; not even a ‘working on something’ post because he has worked on nothing. And he explicitly said that he doesn’t tell us about any feature until it’s partially tested. Another of my suppositions is that he failed on another big feature and decided to take a break to recover emotionally after all the work lost. Or his inspiration could be gone away and he doesn’t know what else he could add on to the game. But again, whatever it could be, I feel that he has not just abandoned it yet and I still feel that love he has put in it. As I said, at least let’s give him another chance.
Hi kaalus come back to the game don’t let it die I have sc 1 since the beginning and still play is been almost a year since your last post nothing on Xmas you always release it don’t give up
Thank you
Why minecraft’s community bigger?
Becouse they care about it.
They care about their users, their players.
They post something often, even if they do not write something about new features, updates, just some funny picture.
With this, they show themselves, they still with their players. Listening, what they (users) say.
I don’t understand, why Kaalus does not post something. Anything will be good. Just some words, that tell us he is alive.
I hate this behavior.
The “i don’t post anything” is his fault.
If he made this game with love, why does he not post something?
I mean, if he made this game with love, he should still with this game, with the players.
How Kaalus made SC with love:
– hey, this is the update
– oh, you need some bugfix?
– right, here it is
– ohohoh, more bugs? fine….. -.-
– now, is everything all right?
– really?
– then shut the f*** up
– i don’t care what you’re saying, idiots
– pfffffff, i’m off, s***ers
– see you in …. maybe in the next century MUHAHAHA XDDDD
to be honest kaalus shouldve at least hired someone else to post updates for him
There is no reason to be rude. Kaalus didn’t sign a contract saying that he would have to post something every week. If he is working on something big than he may just post soon and surprise us with it. He has gone for a long time without posting before and when he did post, it was about one of his biggest and coolest updates. So just imagine what he’s working on right now.
I agree (I lmfao when I read this though)
I think that he is working on LAN multiplayer. Who else thinks that?
I wish. But I do not want false hope to turn me down later.
Assuming he was, it would be a reasonable explanation for his absence. It would take quite awhile to get all of the features required for online multiplayer up and running (There would need to be a chat, maybe even server commands etc.), and as we’ve all probably figured out, Kaalus can’t give us an update with only one feature, so odds are he’d be planning other features too. Depending on what the other features were, 8 months is perfectly reasonable for a single developer.
But, as Scdude90 said, it’s probably best not to get our hopes up.
I do, but some of us are thinking that he’s accumulating all his work that ‘may be worked on’ for the past 9 months. So let’s say LAN multiplayer for example, yes he may be working on it but he may be adding multiple big features in one update or probably just LAN. We’ll see.

and for very frequent posts and even a monthly digest on development progress!
I Beat the Moderation after many tries, apparently No URLs Are Allowed
crazy right?
Where shall I start? Lemme see… Oh, some corrections are in order.
YellOw said, “And if he didn’t fix bugs, it is that he rarely looked deep inside the community, to see all the bug reports.”
Correction: He does NOT have to look deep to find the bug reports. There is a section in the official forums specifically made (by him?) just to keep all the bug reports together.
YellOw said, “Would it be better if he would have been active and implied in anything going on about this game? No,…”
NO??? Of course, it would have been better that he keep his customers appraised of his situation! Even if it’s just a monthly note saying he’s busy with other things.
YellOw said, “And he explicitly said that he doesn’t tell us about any feature until it’s partially tested.”
Where exactly did he say that? He gave us plenty of preliminary teasers with the furniture upgrade. Before he had it tested. He even said it may not work, but he was excited about it so much, he had to show us something.
YellOw said, “… he could have all the problems the life can strike with at once …”
Agreed! This is a very real possibility. I’m currently dealing with some very serious problems life has hurled at me. Oh, but I can still make it online occasionally to interact with the people in my online life. He could at least have asked someone to do the same in his stead…
Howarohans said, “– ohohoh, more bugs? fine… – now, is everything all right? – really? …”
Actually, it’s not quite like that, either. He only pays attention to the bugs directly affected by or affecting ONLY the new features. People have tried to notify him of other unrelated bugs right after an upgrade but he’s ignored them! Repeatedly. I know, because I’m one who’s tried that.
interdimensionalentrepreneurs said, ” It would take quite awhile to get all of the features required for online multiplayer up and running…”
Correction: There are pre-made software packages that he could use to add that in with minimal effort on his part.
Justin said, “WordPress is discriminatory on such comments as those containing references to other places on the web?”
YES, it always has. Many blog sites moderate comments with weblinks in them. That’s to protect us against people spamming things like porn, unsafe sites, phishing for suckers and also people trying to drive traffic to another website. Oh, just like you are trying to do. The problem we have is that the moderator is absent, so they’ll never be approved.
By the way, it’s easier to fool it than you did. Just add a space after the first and the last dot and it won’t see it as a link. A dot followed by a space means a sentence end (a period). Or double up the dots.. That fools it to.
and more than corrections:
inter… said, “There would need to be a chat, …”
Why? There is no need for an in-game chat. There are other apps that can do all the chat, text and even video while the game is being played. I use such an app while playing other online games. But, even so, a simple chat system is extremely basic. The data needed is usually small compared to the overall data transmitted for the main part of the game. And we wouldn’t need a server-based system. This game is not conducive for MMO, any way. He could keep it at 4 players to a world and we would just log into another player’s device to play in his world. Minecraft didn’t have a server-based system at first.
inter… said, “Kaalus can’t give us an update with only one feature,…”
Well, if you count sickness and flu as two separate features, I guess so. Remember, 2.0 was NOT an upgrade. IT WAS A NEW GAME. That’s why we had to pay for it. It is NOT the same game, so technically, we’ve only had 1, yes 1 and ONLY 1 upgrade to this new Survivalcraft 2 game. JUST ONE. Everything that came before that was for a different game.
“I don’t see that antisocial developer who just waits for the money…”
No? Then perhaps you need to open them a little wider.
1. He never actually communicates with his customer base. The little bits here and there have not been real communication, but more like someone talking AT people, instead of WITH them. He clearly doesn’t socialize with us.
2. He rewrote the game engine. Why? Perhaps he simply didn’t want to pay royalties for the previous pre-canned one.
3. He complained massively about how he hates advertising. Why? Advertising is how most companies expand to MAKE MORE MONEY. So instead of advertising, he charged his current customers MORE MONEY. After taking that money, he made 1 AND ONLY 1 update to the game and disappeared.
Those are all indisputable facts (except the ‘perhaps…’). We could interpret them in different ways but it sure looks like money is a pretty big factor to me. His kids are approaching college age and who know what else is going on. In any case, more money almost always helps.
Now, I’m not knocking that. After all, we all expect to be compensated fairly for our time and efforts. ( I do wish I could be compensated for the 100’s of hours I’ve put into helping the game and its community, but I never expected it. I also never expected to be ‘working for’ such an undeserving absentee developer! But I do it for the game because I still believe in its superiority, and us players.) I gladly paid for the new game, Survivalcraft 2. Custom-made blocks and the flexible pistons made it a no-brainer for me. Even if he truly has abandoned us, I’ll still be playing this game for some time to come. Cruel or challenging mode or making up more adventure or survival worlds, or just experimenting with the limits of custom blocks. (I’ve managed to do some pretty amazing things, too! If I do say so myself.)
P.S., Ya this is what happens when I’m using a real keyboard, instead of trying to type on a pane of glass…someone needs to shut me up!
I’m sorry if it seems I was picking on anyone, YellOw. (lol) It’s not you, it’s the ideas ya’ll happened to express that I’m debating against. I’m sure others have thought similar things. Putting ideas out there is always a good thing, in my mind. Taking criticism of them maturely is crucial, too. Even/especially mine.
(my ideas, that is.)
(Finished now. Check it out!)
I don’t see it as an attack and I intent to comment on it after I recharge the batteries of my wireless keyboard which now types incredibly slow, often skipping letters, which is annoying and hard to correct. I have a completely different opinion from yours as always and I agree that telling the others what you think is important, so I’ll do it too soon.
It’s all good. I will point out that 2.1 added split-screen multiplayer, with the addition of colds and the flu.
That being said, now that I think about it, whatever he (might) be working on, I would think he’d be close enough to finished that he could post something.
In the end, as much as I hate to admit it, everyone saying that it’s unacceptable for him not to have posted anything for this long is right.
There’s a thousand possible reasons for his silence, but in any case he could’ve posted something.
Here, in Romania, we have a saying:
“The hope is the last to die.”
I like to think that I am the living proof of that (for now) !
“YellOw said, “And if he didn’t fix bugs, it is that he rarely looked deep inside the community, to see all the bug reports.”
Correction: He does NOT have to look deep to find the bug reports. There is a section in the official forums specifically made (by him?) just to keep all the bug reports together.”
Extra correction: Maybe he abandoned the forums? When have you seen him there last time? Was he disappointed of the forum being not good enough and decided to unofficialise it by leaving it like that? Has his life changed so much that he didn’t have time to check it? Is he too lazy to do so and because he doesn’t see SC in a commercial way, he doesn’t fix them? (Like a lazy person who doesn’t fix something minor in his own house, like a kitchen’s door.) He might not be able to replicate, fix, or see the reports of any of them? Those are only guessworks, which might be true, or might be not. Some might be true for a particular bug, some for the others. We’ll never know exactly, but there might be many reasons and I don’t see why he could not fix that intentionally (unless he’s lazy).
“YellOw said, “And he explicitly said that he doesn’t tell us about any feature until it’s partially tested.”

Clear enough? Glad that’s so! I’m clearly right here. Copy+paste 100%. HE said that. I did not say he said the truth or a lie. But I said that he said that.
“”YellOw said, “… he could have all the problems the life can strike with at once …”
Agreed! This is a very real possibility. I’m currently dealing with some very serious problems life has hurled at me. Oh, but I can still make it online occasionally to interact with the people in my online life. He could at least have asked someone to do the same in his stead…”
Correction: As he is and always was honest with us, he couldn’t have had someone else posting under his name or someone speaking in his name. He, the developer and honest person that he is and ONLY he can post here.
“Howarohans said, “– ohohoh, more bugs? fine… – now, is everything all right? – really? …”
Actually, it’s not quite like that, either. He only pays attention to the bugs directly affected by or affecting ONLY the new features. People have tried to notify him of other unrelated bugs right after an upgrade but he’s ignored them! Repeatedly. I know, because I’m one who’s tried that.”
Again, we can’t know why he acts like that, but there could be many reasons.
~Unfinished~
“interdimensionalentrepreneurs said, ” It would take quite awhile to get all of the features required for online multiplayer up and running…”
Correction: There are pre-made software packages that he could use to add that in with minimal effort on his part.”
Maybe he has reasons to not use them? Maybe he doesn’t trust them or wants to do all the work by himself? Reasons, reasons and again: reasons.
“inter… said, “There would need to be a chat, …”
Why? There is no need for an in-game chat. There are other apps that can do all the chat, text and even video while the game is being played. I use such an app while playing other online games.

He could keep it at 4 players to a world and we would just log into another player’s device to play in his world. Minecraft didn’t have a server-based system at first.”
Ok, with the mention that maybe Kaalus wants to make the chat himself. Despite bugs, maybe all he wants is to deliver a complete app, as he always delievered us complete features. So no pre-made software and no other chat apps.
“I don’t see that antisocial developer who just waits for the money…”
[Here go all of your arguments.]
Now, you open your eyes wider!
Excuse me, Minecraft has a store which sells MC-themed clothing, toys and other objects. Excuse me, last time I’ve checked it was today and Minecraft had a marketplace, which sells items made by the MC community, with prices ranging from free to costly and items made by guys working at Minecraft, which are costly. All the prices are in a virtual, in-game currency and guess what: You can buy the virtual currency with real cash and you can’t win it under any form in the game. Now that’s a developer who wants the people’s money.
Excuse me, Worldcraft 2, the game I used to like after I quit MC and before I played SC, has skins buyable in-app with real cash and if I’m not wrong, other skins are buyable with virtual currency, which you get an amount for free to spend on skins, then you can recharge your virtual account with real money. It’s developing company, Plabs, also made Worldcraft 1 which featured a similar system. They’ve recently (while I was away from it) released the game Planet of Cubes along with Planet of Cubes Premium which work exactly in the same system. All games are MC and multiplayer based, with free survival multiplayer and creative multiplayer with chunks rented in virtual currency, all on servers, all rechargable with real money. The premium version only takes care of the ads and gives you a few more coins and skins. The game costs more than SC if you want to use all the skins and creative, and except more food types and MC-style potions it doesn’t offer you neither half of the freedom SC does.
Excuse me, Block Story, which I’ve never played but you seem to be often comparing to SC and finding better points (though you always find SC the best) has it’s in-app purchases too.
And those are only three examples of games which the developers use to extract your money if you are willing to give them. Kaalus gives all the community content for free, all the content created by him for free; you have multiplayer on both survival and creative for free; maybe he’ll even give us server-based multiplayer one day. The SC’s price is small compared to MC’s. The only time Kaalus requested you more money was when 2.0 came, but think that for all the work put in the 29 free updates for the previous game and the big 2.0 refactor not to say about multiplayer, furniture and pistons, and realism, and everything… Doesn’t he request something that he deserves?
He is partly antisocial, but honest. Maybe that’s how he is in real life. He never made Plabs-like tricks and he never made premium content to constantly request us money. He never wanted to give SC a costly price. He even gave us a smaller price for a limited time period, so that all the SC players could afford SC 2 and continue playing without the shame of the others having the newer, better game. He promised us a 2.2 and he will give it to us!!!
(MC pays the community creators on the marketplace, which is nice. But they make content too, better, competitive, even mod-like (Lions and tigers from SC also included), to make more money.)
And I, neither see that commercially socially implied developer who socializes just to win the money.
He is honest: He talks only when he has something to say and lets the money go into his account without trying to achieve more. He really neglects the money aspect, otherwise he would socialise more and fix all the bugs for his impersonally said clients.
Very long Post!
it is quite the reader, Thank you for that response to my short rant :)
March 24 nearly there! It’s our only hope. If not then summer is our next guess I guess…
march 24 and nothing happened…
Yes, But we are still in March 24 we didn’t wait all day. We can approve that tomorrow.
What if it wasn’t March? What if all you’ve seen clearly was just the last digit being four? Your vision were short and memory could play with you anytime.
*visions
Yeah then our next guess is summer.
Still March 24 here… It might still be possible to see a post today…
I know it’s still March 24! but I was answering your question: “What if it wasn’t on March?” So I answered that our next guess is summer 2018 June/July. I don’t know why you misunderstood that.
Don’t give up so easily!
Oh really?
And if Kaalus wont be back on june/july, you will say December, or what?
Looks like you are a prophet, who says the doomsday-world’s end will be on june/july, and if it not happen, he tells an other date.
What a bullsh*t…………..
What are you trying to say?
What are you trying to say?
I’m trying to say, what you say is a bullsh*t.
First, you said: feb 24 and march 4 and march 24
Next: march 24
Now: june or july
If Kaalus will not come back in june/july, what will you say? December? January 2019? Or what?
…
You know what? I don’t know when he’s coming back.
I ain’t gonna be guessing anymore
“I don’t know when he’s coming back.”
Then, why do….
ohhh
“I ain’t gonna be guessing anymore”
I will take you at your word…
:)
Thnx so you’re cool?
I don’t know…
I’m calm, relaxed…
uhm, I did not smoke anything XD
:)
Weird but alright
…and if not this summer, then definitely definitely in the fall. If not the fall, the certainly for next Christmas. If not by then, then absolutely definitely certainly most assuredly by this time next year!
Yeah I don’t think so.
Every update I wait for LAN to come, but it does not. I would not even complain now if the previous update were just LAN and for two years no updates, yet it is not coming.
Well it’s your lucky day to know this because this is feature 2.2.
– FEATURE 2.2 –
Y’ALL GOTTA SEE THIS:
FEATURE 2.2 IS NETWORK MULTIPLAYER! I BET YOU 1000$ IT’S COMING NEXT! YES! IT IS TRUST ME I DEFINITELY KNOW FOR SURE! I’M NOT SEEING THIS ONLY!
Finally for more than five years LAN multiplayer is coming for 2.2. AND HERES PROOF:
—> Proof #1 “***Network multiplayer*** would be ideal and ***is obviously a long awaited feature***, but make no mistake, split screen might at times be just as good if not better.” (Post: h ttps://kaalus.wordpress.c om/2017/05/23/multiple-players/)
—> Proof #2 “Unless something catastrophic is discovered, I now want to focus on working ***on the next feature update: 2.2***.” (Post: This one)
– These are all words of kaalus and they’re not made up I literally copy and pasted!
– The 3 stars that i added are to indicate the important parts for investigating through them!
– My point is if you accumulate these two proofs, you’d definitely be convince!
DO NOT tell me this is exaggeration or wishful thinking! it’s called making a point through the use of evidence! Thank you for reading! Feel free to agree or disagree!
As I should feel free to do it, I disagree.
#1. “***Network multiplayer*** would be ideal and ***is obviously a long awaited feature***”
He just said that it would be an ideal. This ideal might be reachable or not. He might try to reach it or not. It’s long awaited, but we can’t know for sure if it will ever come, although it has big chances of happening and I want to see it working too.
#2. “Unless something catastrophic is discovered, I now want to focus on working ***on the next feature update: 2.2***.”
Yes. Here he said that he is focusing on 2.2. So he must be working at it now, probably working at LAN or server-based multiplayer or other big feature that requires that much time. But we don’t know for sure. At least THIS PROVES US THAT HE CLEARLY SAID THAT 2.2 WILL EXIST. HE PROMISED US A 2.2 AND I BELIEVE HE WILL SURELY DO SO.
I’M REALLY CURIOUS WHAT YOUR OPINION IS HERE, STANIMUS.
– These are all words of Kaalus and they’re not made up I literally copy and pasted! (Checked and yes, they are copied and pasted.)
– My point is that those two proofs don’t necessarily mean that the next feature is multiplayer. Yes, multiplayer is an ideal of this game which will require much work, much time, but we can’t exactly know if it will ever come. We can only hope. Until then, Kaalus promised us he will come up with 2.2, and that’s a reason to not think he has abandoned us. He warned us that he is leaving for 2.2 and he must be now working at it and we must be worrying for nonsense.
Thank you for your opinion. So what are the chances of the feature 2.2 being Network Multiplayer? 90%? I think it’s a very big possibility, so big that I can’t think that he would not add Network Multiplayer. The Big feature of 2.1 was Split-Screen Multiplayer, so the big feature of 2.2 must be Network Multiplayer as he said it’s ideal and that it’s a long waited feature so he would definitely as a developer work on something that he succeeded on which is Split-screen Multiplayer. So it should be a win-win situation to work on because he already made Multiplayer and vice versa… (Yes I know It’s not easy so it must explain the long disappearance)
Very big possibility, yes. 100% it is multiplayer -> we can’t be sure of that.
Apparently you misunderstand the meaning of the word, “proof”, sjfriday. Nothing of what you said constitutes any kind of proof to your conclusion.
As a matter of fact, the first point is evidence of the OPPOSITE! When he said, “…split screen might at times be just as good if not better.”, he seems to be implying that he has no intention of adding online play, perhaps EVER. If he believes split-screen is BETTER than online play, then there’s no need for online at all. I have also spoken with someone who (long ago) was actually in communication with Kaalus before he became ‘too good’ to talk with us. K-man told him that he was not familiar or comfortable with programming for online interface. I have been hoping that he became more familiar and confident with it since then but there’s nothing to support that hope.
And, to be honest the second point is totally meaningless. Read it carefully. He did NOT say he was going to work on 2.2 AT ALL!!! He said he WANTED to work on it and that’s not the same thing as actually working on it. I WANT to make a million dollars this year! I can bet that it won’t happen, but I can WANT it, anyway. I WANT to drive a Bentley at least once in my life. Ain’t gonna happen. That entire message is semantically empty (there is no real meaning in it.) It reminds me of the things a parent will say to a child, just to shut them up!
If you want to believe online is coming, that’s your choice but there truly is no ‘proof’ of it’s likelyhood whatsoever and even evidence to the contrary. If you want to hope it is, there’s plenty of room on that bus. Sit next to me and we can hope together…
If you want my honest assessment, I believe online play has less than 15% chance of coming. LAN, perhaps 25%. I’ll even guess there’s at least 30% chance he’ll never show up again. I know! I hate that thought too but realistically there’s so many possible causes for him to “exit stage left”, and go on with the rest of his life…(wife, kids, job, legal, health, parents, accident, boredom, and on and on…)
Furthermore, in the 9 months he’s been incommunicado, I’m confident that I could have learned all I needed and created an online interface. (If I had access to the game’s source code and a decent development system.) That’s not intended to be self-promoting but with my experience and education, I do believe I could. But my job may be less demanding than his plus I’m not raising children, so I could devote 8 to 12 hours every day to it!
“he was not familiar or comfortable with programming for online interface.” Good point but thanks for pointing how meaningless I was, I respect that!
YOU are certainly NOT meaningless!
I’m just trying to balance our hopes with reality. It’s very easy to read what we want to see, rather than stepping back with a dispassionate mind and read what was actually said. I don’t want people to get unrealistically hopeful and then end up rage-quitting the game completely. It’s still a good game, whether papa Kaalus shows up again or not.
I highly agree

Summer just got me even more excited. ;)
Damn, to be honest, they seem paranoid enough to say that it will come multiplayer over LAN, or other things, using absurd tests.
I’m sorry I said it, but I had to.
Yes you’re right. But the possibility of it coming next is enormous.
If kaalus doesn’t show up by June, I’m done. I’ve supported this game for years, but I can’t support this behaviour. All these visions are quite nonsense in my opinion, but I hope kaalus is doing alright and will return by June.
I think the same.
+1
Many, many people have said that their done if Kaalus doesn’t post by a certain time. And right now, they’re all commenting.

Nice Job!
You’ve “supported the game for years” – really? Please tell us just HOW you supported it?
– Have you been secretly helping Kaalus?
– Have you been sending donations to him?
– Have you been contributing to the expansion of the wiki?
– Have you been keeping the forums organized?
– Have you been promoting it on other websites?
– Have you been doing ANYTHING to actually help get new players?
No?
You mean to say you’ve been PLAYING the game for years. That’s not supporting it, that’s enjoying it. Sure you supported it ONCE, when you paid for it (assuming you DID) and perhaps paid for the new game (remember, SC2 is a NEW GAME). Other than acquiring it for your personal pleasure, what have you done FOR it?
BTW, having conversations here don’t count, either…
If you want to support it, go out there and keep pestering game reviewers until they make a review of SC2, or post to facebook and the rest about how great the game is. Get more people to buy it. Get more people interested in it. That’s supporting it. Just PLAYING it is NOT supporting it.
Well, I did. I have been supporting russian community as much as I can for years. I have kept it organised not matter what and I am still doing it. I am not sure, if I am going to quit after June, but anyway…
Thank you, Sergey. I know that nobody else is likely to thank you so I will. I know it’s tough when the creator basically ignores anyone else’s efforts to support his community.
Yes. I have supported it. Even though you can’t seem to realise that making false assumptions on people is wrong, and support can come in many ways. I’ve bought this game four times, SC1 &2 on my device and PC. As well as sending him emails of suggestions, bug reports and concerns. I have been spreading the word of SC, I have actually gotten a few friends to buy it, as well as people in a Minecraft community. Terrafirmacraft is a MC mod that aims for more realism, like Survivalcraft. I made a post there a long time ago on the TFC forums, (no clue if it’s still there, that was years ago.) Comparing similarities, and people actually enjoyed it. But you wouldn’t know that right? Of course not. All you can do is make false assumptions based on nothing. But no worries, I’ll be out of here come June 1st, and seeing how the majority of the community is today, I will not regret it.
Regardless of whether papa Kaalus shows uo again or not, I am NOT done with this game. Sure, we’d all like more features. I have my own list. Sure the game still has bugs, as many have pointed out. I’ll continue to work around these issues.
My sadness comes from seeing the untapped potentials of the game and fearing that CRG will never take advantage of them. With another good update which includes some form of online play, and some serious marketing I believe the game could become a big hit. It already has some serious advantages over the most popular one but if it’s allowed to atrophy, nobody but us will ever know.
Amen!

you are truly Survivalcraft!

Check out my new post on progress!
I feel you Staminus. I’ve loved SC for a long time. I saw from the beginning that it had amazing potential. I would be sad to see it end while there is so much more it can do.
New subject…
I wish some electrical nerd would publish a world showing you how to use all those strange electrical components, cause I feel like there is so much more I can do with them. But the only ones I know how to use are the random generator, the “not” gate, and the delay gate. :(
I mean what the heck is Analog – Digital, or Digital – Analog? 😝
And same goes for a lot of them! XD
Have you tried reading about them in Recipaedia or on the wiki? Those articles could help you. I can’t guarantee any article could make you an electrician genius, but reading them could help you understand, if not everything (neither I do), just a part of how each electrical component works.
There is a world in CC called Electricity Unleashed (I think). It gives you a good idea what all the gates can do. These gates are very close to what real gates do, so you can also study normal electronic circuits. You can also look at worlds that use a lot of electronics. I use them a lot and Stanimus as well.
Ow gosh that world was perfect I remember years ago when I downloaded it, it introduced me to electricity and I became familiar with everything very quickly! I advise beginners to download it too, I agree.
Yes, electricity unleashed is an excellent beginner’s tutorial. Be sure to look through the wiki too. Each block is described pretty well, analog -v- digital is explained, and I’ve built many more advanced articles there, too. Even ones describing all the circuits needed to make a ‘real’ computer in SC… If there’s something specific you see missing, please let me know and I may write one specifically for that.
In case anyone is interested, I posted a video walkthrouh of part of my Space Station world. It shows the recreational level of the core structure. I’m still hoping to turn this into an adventure map but I’m running into the complexity limit and have to figure out where to reduce the design…
Watch here: http s://youtu. be/qII8NX7Hzk4 (remove the 2 spaces)
One of the biggest mysteries to mankind, not yet unraveled and had society wondering for months but the biggest question is: will he ever return? And if so… when is that? Kaalus has left us with confusion and worry for the longest period of time ever… Why is that happening? Will we ever know? Is it because there’s a lot of huge computer work on 2.2? Or is it something else? I am just so eager to have all this irritating truth seeking and wondering off of us to finally reveal the truth.
Mojang released the Aquatic Update. MCPE.
They added some water life.
Maybe, they copied Kaalus, but while in SC the water plants are motionless, in MCPE the plants are waving. So cool. And there is coral. And shipwreck and other features.
So, the water in MCPE became more alive.
When you are in shallow water, it looks like it is in a movie (shallow water, sandy beach, fishes, coralls …)…
And if you add some addons (fe shader) every plants are moving: tree leafs are moving in the wind, waterplants are moving because the waterwaves. And in SC everything is motionless.
I’m playing more and more time with MCPE.
I don’t throw out SC and SC2.
But, while Kaalus is in quiet, and i don’t know what he is doing, Mojang post something often, and now they released an update.
I don’t understand Kaalus behavior. Why he can not write something?
Because he is working hard? Sure. So, that’s why he can not write. aham, sure He doesn’t have a bit time for his player/fans.
Or
Because, he does not want to share any ideas to thief? aham sure He does not post anything, because it will be stolen/copied. Of course. Sure. So, if he post like this: “Hi guys, i still alive and working hard. Keep eyes on the site.” mojang or someone else will copy this idea. Sure……
Or
Is he alive? Maybe he is dead, and he does not told the passwords to his family, so they can’t tell us Kaalus is dead.
Or
He is just an idiot, who thinks: I know what you want, better than you. (like microsoft…) And don’t know anything about marketing.
keep checking this site at least once or twice a week.
as long as this site is still up. there’s still a chance or hope for another update. that’s it for me.
This site could stay up for many years after he’s abandoned it…
Here I have to agree with Stanimus… Abandoned data can be still available for long periods of time until someone rates it as abandoned after years of it Tbeing there, untouched and without any sign that the person who posted it still wants it to be there, or is still alive… The fact that this site is still here is not a proof that Kaalus is still here with the site…
Although I still think he is missing for a good reason, we can’t prove his future return without solid arguments, if you don’t consider his words about working on 2.2 solid or true enough.
I really hope he hasn’t given up on the game or the community.
Guys, I am SO tired of scrolling to the bottom of this string! 😩
Can we possibly move our conversation to a shorter string? XD
That would be a good idea, although
I don’t think it will be that easy to make everyone move every conversation there even if we find a good enough service for it… If you have any ideas, you could share them here, though moving the conversation in another place wouldn’t stop the others go on here and there will constantly being a chance of something new happening here…
All we can do is to hope… “The hope is the last to die!”
A part of me says he has.
What I would do if he has:
1. delete Survivalcraft
2. Put a bad rating and review on every marketplace that Survivalcraft is on.
Why would you do that if you have already gotten so much fun out of it. Even if you were mad, you’d be mad at the programmer, not the program, so why tell others the program is bad?
Kaalus hasn’t even commented on this post. Usually he will respond to our bug reports, questions and some times our ideas, but he hasn’t done it this time. If he was working on LAN or something big, he might not have time, or as howarohans said, he doen’want his ideas stolen. The only problem is that the other games have just about every feature that Survival craft 2 needs. This all make me wonder why he won’t comment or post. Could it be that Kaalus has come up with an idea that no other game has? Is he maybe just to busy with his life and the update that he doesn’t have time to post? My hope is that the update is so big and that Kaalus wants to surprise us with how cool it is that he won’ comment.
Cutom designed blocks was an idea no other blocky game had, and you see how little difference that made! Without promotion or advertising, nobody will ever know how unique Survivalcraft is… …and it will slowly die of neglect.
Survival craft will not die, it is a very popular game and lots of people like it. Why do so many of you think that it will die?
WE are Survivalcraft. An app exists in vain without its consumers. While we exist, SC will exist too! Many things could be done if all the SC players would work together; even advertising! We are the ones who can help it not die! There are plently of people around the world who still play old games regardless of the new, less entartainning titles of the same series that appear… Their existence often makes the later generations ask themselves why people liked them so much and, in small numbers, new players could appear…
Nothing can last forever; that’s true too. Incompatibility problems and newer games can cause another game to become a page of the history… But while we exist and we play Survivalcraft, I don’t see why that could happen in the near future. For a long time, I didn’t care about being a part of the SC community, recieving updates and I didn’t even know this blog existed, though all this time I’ve played and enjoyed SC. I’m playing SC since 2013 or so and I’ve been following this blog only since 1.28, I think. I had a lot of fun with it even before appearing here in July 2017 and I don’t know why so many people think that without an active community, proper advertising and updates a game doesn’t exist. It is the game that is important; it is the product, not the brand nor its ads. While there are people who play it, it simply exists, and it’s alive!
Yell Ow, you are absolutely right. As long as people continue playing it, it is not totally dead. However, how many people will continue to play it after another year? To put it another way, how many people are still playing Combat Tribes? Have any of you even heard of it? Hundreds and thousands of games have been created that practically nobody plays any more. Why do you think SC will be any different?
This is why I said it will, “…slowly die of neglect.” It will not be fast and I will do what I can to keep it going. But it will happen. Even I will someday decide to finally put it aside. That day may not happen for years to come! But, I assure you that if Kaalus has indeed abandoned the game, that time will come sooner rather than later. Even for me.
I could only wish that if he does decide to quit it, that he look around to see if anybody else can and will continue his work. Specifically, there are some issues that could be addressed to make it more friendly to adventure map makers. That has been one of my biggest frustrations – the potential for truly advanced adventure maps is there but it’s hindered by a few bugs and other problems.
The possibilities are so great for adventure maps that I believe someone could create maps that people would actually PAY FOR! If they could play the map for several hours at a time and still take days or more to fully complete the adventure, it would be worth a buck or two. My Skyrim-type dungeon map, if it were completed would be one like that. It would take several to many attempts to complete and could be ‘won’ in different ways. Sadly, one of the not-quite-bugs makes certain basic and necessary elements hostile to a serious adventure map. Specifically, the way speaking signs talk as they get just within the sight distance creates an unacceptable annoyance at best and provide either cheats or spoilers to the plot, at worst. In some cases, this can be circumvented by making the player click on links instead of listening to signs but that is a terrible way to do it. It ruins the immersion of the game, costs people data downloading and is much slower than is acceptable.
@ Leinad Yllik,
No, SC is NOT considered a very popular game. It’s quite popular among everyone who looks in here – DUH! But if you asked 100 random Minecraft users, I’d bet that not even 1 has ever heard of Survivalcraft. If you asked players of the big MMO games, I’d wager that not one out of 1,000 would have heard of it. And we’ve already heard from a few of the long-time players of this game – they’re heading out the door as we speak.
Perhaps Survivalcraft itself is not dying but its future already is…
I agree
Q: Why has Kaalus left for a very long period of time? Is it normal?
A: According to what I understand, it is completely normal for a developer like Kaalus to leave the community for a long period of time, because:
1. He did that several times to us for the past years and came back with big features. E.g the temperature update, the furniture update and the (Insert feature 2.2 here) update. This one’s the longest he has ever left us.
2. I’ve played a lot of decent games made by decent developers who have left the community confused for 2 years! Yes! 2! That’s a lot and when the developer came back with a new update, it was as promised.
Moving on…
Anyways, yes I know it is very frustrating how Kaalus didn’t even publish a post with at least one sentence letting us know how successful things went. I agree to someone who recently said that Kaalus might have a very big feature that he doesn’t want to share information about in order to avoid plagiarism. I think he will return with a very big surprise or he may have quitted being a developer.
yeah, yeah, still dreaming…
I’m gathering information to make a logical conclusion
It’s one thing for a big development company like Bethesda to not release something every year. It’s quite different for an indie to just be completely silent and reclusive for the same time. If an indie ignores his fanbase, he needs to expect them to ignore him. Kaalus seems to simply have no clue about promoting his product or maintaining loyalty in his customers. Successful companies and indies know they must keep their customers’ interested or they will lose them (and sales) to other, more committed providers. Kaalus appears to just NOT CARE.
Totally agree.

This is my seventh time today trying to beat moderation because my username is somehow counted as a link
Will this work?
Visit
www dot sconsoleion dot wordpress dot com
and follow my blog,
things are coming along well and I am now knee deep in Xml !!!
Perhaps, We can blow up Special K’s inbox?
just a few,
hundred,
thousand
Emails will do
After all, nobody can ignore the same message retold by everyone who follows this site, and miss the most obvious meaning behind the uproar!
Just email him this:
Kaalus, We, The Community, Need A Sign!!!
actually not a bad idea
It’s a waste of time.
Of course you CAN ignore it – just don’t ever look in that mailbox!
We are treating the Return of Kaalus like the Second Coming of Christ(best comparison I can put for us to understand what’s happening). Why? Because we keep putting a future date in which we know little of for ourselves, thus giving us hope from our ignorance of when/if kaalus will come. Some say he will come near Summer Solstice(for those in southern hemisphere). But when that time period arrives? We will say Christmas. When that day arrives? The cycle will continue. How long will this continue? I bet half of you will be gone by 2020. And guess what? In a decade this will officially be a “thing of the past”, something we will one day look back. We will laugh at ourselves for wasting so much time on this blog, when we could’ve done something more productive. And then? We’ll move on. Everyone will eventually move on from the dullness that will come from eventually being accustomed to the idea that perhaps, it was about time Kaalus moved on with his life. And we’ll all likely realize that sooner or later.
One more thing: You guys should try the game Rising World. Just downloaded it 2 days ago and it is amazing. I might do a couple tutorials on how to download it and play etc. It has most of the features survival craft has(surprisingly). I’m sure most of you would enjoy it. It’s only 15 euros but it’s totally worth it. Let me know if any of you play it.
in my city 35 thousand people expect local wifi multiplayer when you will produce this version
Hi
Kallus yku sad sack of shlt.. GET OFF YOUR LAZY A$5 AND MAKE A POST TO YOUR COMMUNITY! STOP MAKING ALL THESE KIDS SWEAT THEIR BALLS OFF.. WITH THAT SAID IM WORKING ON MY OWN 2.2…..

Still nothing…
KAALUS! ARE YOU DEAD? MY GRANDFATHER DIED 5 DAYS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is unacceptable, Kaalus, I’m serious about this. It’s already starting to degenerate. You don’t even have the time to write at least something to justify your aucency. I’ll wait until July.
Almost 3/4 of a year of pure silence…
I taught that after SC 2 Kaalus was going to be more active but seems that I was wrong…
No, it’s been *more* than 9 months (3/4 year)…
If he’s still incommunicado after a year, I’ll assume he’s gone for good and lock up the wiki . . .
What’s the point to lock up the wiki?
IF Kaalus won’t return doesn’t mean that SC is automatically dead, may be obsolete and out of support but not banished from the existence.
Could make sense is SC will be removed from any store but is not going to be the case.
I meant that in a rhetorical sense. With no more updates, there’ll be no reason to add new things. The wiki will still be around – just nobody will be there to watch over it.
Since I’ve been the only person responsible for the care of the wiki for years now, it’s become a losing burdon on me. Hardly anyone contributes positively so I mostly have to deal with the trolls and haters. With no support (ever) from the game creator, it’s been a thankless job and I’m honestly getting tired of the crap.
I plan to set it so it won’t allow new comments on the article pages – so you can only post in the discussion area. Maybe even so only admins can edit the articles. Finish the technical articles I’ve been working on. Make sure everything is up to date. Wash my hands and shake the dust off my boots and move on with life… I had to petition wikia to gain the status I have because the previous “chief-admin” disappeared. Someone else can do it after I’m gone – IF anybody will care enough by then. (Nobody does even now!)
Is he dead? Something bad happened to him?
Sad but true
Kaalus’s birthday is 27 July right??
Guys I don’t feel so good… *disappears*
When is the next update
Never.
^ As known as the popular “32nd day of the 13th month”
Hey guys. I think that only people that still have hope that Kaalus will show up with news about a new update are reading these comments below and is seeing almost all day the website. So, when Kaalus appear (if he appear), we won’t comment “first”, “add this things”, but let’s coment something like “Are you Ok?”, “don’t ignore us again, thx”, “show up only to say that you and SC are alive”
Because I think that he reads, at least, the first comments
Yeah let’s just act like a pissy girlfriend 😂😂
😂😂😂 LOL…maybe works
We need to start thinking about how we will celebrate this posts 1 year anniversary.
I thought we can lot Twitter with a hashtag, because if we lot his mailbox, he can just ignore, but a great hashtag no-one can ignore. But we need post a hashtag together in the same day massively to get known, so, July 27th is the day.
Something like: #IsKaalusReallyDead ?
I thought something like this, LOL, but I think we can use a “positive” hashtag
#ReviveSurvivalcraft?
Yeah, something like this
Something catastrophic was discovered by Kaalus.
I think his birthday is on 27 july
ht tps://kaalus.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/the-amazing-apple/
Delete the space between the two “t”
Well, is 26 of July, pretty close!
We should claim survivalcraft by ourselves without any illegal actions
We woupd have to get his legal permission as well as the source code. Neither is likely to happen – especially since he’s incommunicado!
Today I’ve noticed something interesting. I’ve reread Kaalus’ last post:
“Unless something catastrophic is discovered, I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.”
“I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.”
“the next feature update: 2.2.”
“feature update”
Why feature update? Why hasn’t he said: “I’ll just be working on the next update.”? And why has he said: “I’ll be working on the next feature update.”?
Doesn’t it seem like an awkwardly placed word? You know, all but one of the major updates included new features. Why does he need to mention that 2.2 will be not just an ordinary update, but “a feature update”?
I am raising the following hypothesis:
1. Kaalus is working on a major update that will bring us another major feature. My guess here would be seasons. Just think of it: I haven’t seen one blocky game to implement a feature like this, though it fits the survival aspect extremely well. There would be many things to add, like dynamic growing trees and food preserving. He can’t post because Minecraft and other blocky games with many employees working at them could steal the idea and implement it considerably faster than our only one Kaalus could do. He doesn’t like over promising and under delievering as he said himself in a post between 2.0 and 2.1, so he won’t tell us that he’s working, unless he makes important and positive steps towards it, having a half-working feature that he is sure he can finish without any major complications and he can show us without canceling it because he couldn’t finish what he promised us he will. My next guess is server-based multiplayer, though at this point I don’t think this is a feature we’ll ever see.
2. Kaalus is working on many small features planned for 2.2 that can be easily copied. So as he doesn’t want them to be copied, most likely he will not tell us anything until he sends the new version for approval on all the stores.
3. Again, maybe he discovered something catastrophic?
Anyway, I’ve said it and I’ll continue to say it: Everyone does mistakes; everyone can stumble upon problems in life… Unless someone is perfect, there is no human who should negatively judge another human’s actions knowing only a few vague things about the situation. With that said, let’s try to wait and see what Kaalus does. I’m sure he will return after some time, like he always does.
I see that “feature update” like “an update packed with many features”, or “an update with another major feature”. That’s my point. I’m not trying to pointlessly analyze anything that Kaalus says at random, but that is a question I’ve stumbled upon myself today when checking the blog again. Is there a purpose for that word “feature” before “update”? Why has he complicated the phrase with “feature update” when he could have simply said “update” and could have simply been as well understood? What if the fact that he said “feature update” is important, as he tried to say us that he is focusing on features or has many or major features planned?
Wow what you say is very logical, Klauss has already taken a long time to get a new update, as you say, this update must be too important for Kalal not say anything about it, that we had with much desire to know that version 2.2 is expected, but that also discouraged us, because Kaluss has already taken too long to publish any post, either of anything, and almost all of the active survivalcraft discussion communities, are already disappearing that nobody knows anything about kaluss, without more to say I hope and you are right, since I have desmaciadas desire to release the version 2.2 of survivalcraft.
Logical or illogical, this is only my opinion. When I’ve decided to express it, I’ve assumed it might be true or not. I see no reason why you can’t disagree it respectfully. You can disappear if you want, but for me not our discussions about it are the most important. The game itself, with or without future updates is important, fun and is and will always remain enjoyable.
I mean, is there a difference between:
“I now want to focus on working on the next update.”
“I now want to focus on working on the next feature update.”
“I now want to focus on working on the next update: 2.2.”
“I now want to focus on working on the next feature update: 2.2.”
?
Semantically there is NO difference. It’s just a throw-away adjective. Even adding a new type of cow is a ‘feature’. I think he was just distinguishing it from the bug-fix updates he was frantically making after the last ‘feature update’ (2.1).
Because I somehow think it is. What purpose does one more word in a phrase have other than giving us additional information?
There can be different kinds of updates.
– Bug fix update
– feature update
– optimization update
– networking update
– etc.
Kaalus is just always adding features in new updates rather than just fixes/optimizations
Dude! your theories are crazy 😂😂 but I agree. But I still think that he could only appear to say that he still working on it
You just ride on words…
Haven’t go back here for months. Recently I’ve learned about digital system and guess what, I used Survivalcraft to simulate some logic circuits and it funnier than using some heavy simulations that made my PC froze. I’m making an LEDs screen in SC, still have a bit struggling though. I hope you going well Kaalus and looking forward the new updates from you.
If Kaalus hadn’t abandoned the game already, I’d want to look into using it in schools as a virtual environment electronics breadboard!
As a reminder, there’s a great world to learn the basics of the electrics. It’s called “Electricity Unleashed”. Also I have one called “Circuits Cookbook”. Electronics designers use cookbooks a lot so I figured we should have one for SCE (SurvivalCraft Electrics), too. It needs some serious updating (it’s a 1.29 world!) but what’s there is still valid and quite useful. Download it here: ht tps://dl.dropbox. com/s/0scs8ngj2pd89ik/circuits%201p10%20%281%29.scworld?dl=1 (remove the 2 spaces)
Well, I held faith for all this time. I’m done.
Poor Kaalus something really bad must have happened :(
I pray that he’s ok…. Last time he went missing he turned up A OK after months or was it a year? Hope he’s working on something epic for us!!!
Right. Like he got sick and tired of all the whining “gimme babys, gimme toys, gimme friends, gimme dinosaurs, gimme rocket powered battle cars, gimme gimme gimme!”
or now,he is focus on Fortnite
Pls update the survivalcraft tomorrow
Pls update the survivalcraft tomorrow pls put flashlight,Flashlight Batteries,Minecart,real moving train,railroads,stoplight of the train put also moving railroad it means switching rails to other train so he can go to the other way pls update this tomorrow released a trailer
Oh stop whining, give respect to kaalus, probably in a better place now… Up there
Esta sera una de las mayores actualizaciones de Survivalcraft?
No, kaalus no ha dado ninguna señal de vida. Estare esperando hasta el fin de julio, ya no puedo tolerar esto.
Recently I told my electronic teacher that if we could use survivalcraft as a guide in the electronic circuits, at first he said no, because he thought that it was the same as minecraft in the theme of the circuits, but already when I taught him all the circuits of survivalcraft, he was surprised by all the things that had to do with electronics, and now he agreed to use survivalcraft in the electronics class, that’s great! Imagine if this happened in all the schools, maybe if you teach them to your survivalcraft electronics teacher, and they teach you all the circuits it contains, maybe your teacher will start using survivalcraft as if it were part of the class.
Good job, Hack! I had this idea a couple years ago but no way to make it happen. (See my reply #443) ↑
https:// kaalus.wordpress. com/2013/07/26/the-amazing-apple/#comments
Look at the bottom of his post, what does it mean by “birthday”? Is his birthday on 25 July?
i went through entire school year without anything being posted here
It’s been long enough and I think that I’m right. Kaalus got bored of Survivalcraft almost 2 years ago. He quit and the first big silence began. He might have started a new project, doesn’t matter. Either way, he thought of a juicy plan.
His plan was simple: squeeze any last drip of profit he could from Survivalcraft before quitting it for good. Months into his silence he realized the plan. If he made one last update and made it cost money, he would earn a decent sum. So he did exactly that, baiting all of his followers with blog posts and promises of a regularly updated survivalcraft. We fell for it and bought the game.
It was advertised with a huge feature which was hyped for months (remember the guessing game for custom furniture?). At the climax of our hype, he said it costs money, so we bought it without thinking twice.
But why did he make 2.1 then?
If you look at the store for SC2, there is an update description. A customer who sees this will think that the game isn’t dead or abandoned because the developer updates it. I hardly ever buy games that haven’t been updated. That’s not the only reason, though. He added the most popular feature: multiplayer. Kids galore would have jumped up and down at this, telling their friends to buy the game so they can play together soon.
It’s very clever that two of the biggest features were added directly before the final disappearance. He hooked us in and left with all the money.
There won’t be any 2.2 update. He made Survivalcraft 2 for a quick few bucks because Survivalcraft wasn’t scraping enough money or he was bored of it. He tricked you and he tricked me. I don’t feel bad though, he deserved every dollar he got.
Sooooo, that means that, goodbye survivalcraft! Was a good time!
Hid ‘plan’ wotked better than I imagined. The Google play store says that there have been 100,000+ installs. The game is worth a couple bucks. Plus it is sold on the Apple and Microsoft. All he had to do was develop something as difficult as a minecraft mod, if not easier.
Then he should sell survivalcraft to a wealthy company that knows how to take care of the game.
+1
Kaalus come on. POST SOMETHING
Is his birthday on July?!
Kaalus maybe is dead, well, i think that because he doesn’t give any signak of life.
He doesn’t care about his game or community.
Even if he have more important things, he can even give a F****** SIGNAL OF LIFE!
+1
For you all information….
Minecraft will release beta version first before releasing complete version …so Minecraft user can be a beta tester..
But Survival Craft never release beta version of a update for some reason and only release alpha when completely done.
Why not SC release any beta version!!!!???and the developer not even saying hi in Twitter or anywhere else for 1 years 😭😭
+1
FYI, an ‘alpha test’ is NOT a final version, it comes BEFORE the beta testing.
Alpha testing is where you add in another feature and see if it’s going to work out at all or not. Add more until it’s ‘done enough’.
Beta testing is where people try hard to cause the program to crash or fail – it’s meant to flush out all the bugs. So, releasing a beta version means you are letting the users do your testing for you. (Microsoft started “letting the users find the bugs” back in the ’90s – lazy, cheap SOBs.)
I consider EVERY release of SC a beta since we always find so many bugs. The problem is that he never fixed many of them!
And I suspect the dev is DONE with this game. (Maybe he just couldn’t stand all the whining “gimme gimmes” any more.)
I can see the death of this game. I’m getting bored of playing it. No updates, nothing new, absolutely nothing!

Do you play it in cruel mode???
Take it seriously, well, dreaming is easy…
I started playing cruel mode. Its pretty sweet
Pls be active and pls put Flashlight,Flashlight Batteries,Minecart,put a real Train moving and Minecart rails Add a Great white Shark,Crocodile and Elephant
‘BUG’ REPORT
Multistate furniture may NOT remember its current state when the world is quit. When it is started back up, the piece may NOT be in the same state as when it was quit. This can be a serious problem for those who hoped to use multistate furniture in traps or other devices. Especially if you were hoping to sync it with electric circuits…
(as if any of the many bugs will ever be fixed) -heavy sigh-
for bugs like that i normally use a counter to keep track of the state so if I exit the world and return the correction system sends out a signal until its back to the state it was when i left. It normally takes about 1 second after the game has loaded to correct the state.
How do you do that? There’s no way to determine the current state of a furniture piece…
Maybe with a 4-bit counter
No, a counter cannot tell which state a piece is currently in. It can guess and assume but there’s NO way to know, in game.
Sorry for the late reply, didn’t see your reply until now and it has been a while and I can’t bother to retrieve my world from my dropbox so I’ll answer you to the best of my memory.
I used a memory bank, a xor logic gate, a switch and a 4-bit counter to detect changes in a wire like the rising/falling edge of a signal and the flicker when I go out of render range or when I load the world. I keep a current running through that wire and while it’s connected to any multistate furniture that I need to stay in a fixed state and I have a number assigned to each state. If the current flickers it will change the assigned number and when the system detects that the number that is assigned to the furniture state does not match what it should be (it knows what it should be by counting of signals caused by the player interacting with it or other wires), it will pulse a signal through the wire until the number matches up again. This system just compensates for the way the game renders the wires and the signal running through them.
If you’re talking about furniture that changes to a random state without any live wires connected to them then I can think of a few ways to detect it but it would be impractical because it would require a few sets of multi-state furnitures to be placed at different locations within the render range and in different states.
I heard Kaalus in my dream, it was very emotional…
What happened
See 391st, 402nd, 404th and 415th post
“Wishful thinking + imagination ≠ “premonition”, which certainly ≠ reality” [Stanimus]
He was very unhappy about something.
Do you are felling good?
Yes I’m feeling good. Why?
pls update the survival Craft 2 add Flashlight Flashlight Batteries add Minecart,Train,Rails,Stop and go light for the Train,Switching Rails add Crocodile,Elephant,Great White Shark
Because you expect so much sc 2.2 that you started to see Kaalus in your dreams.
Well, if you see kaalus, maybe he is dead, and now is a ghost?
It’s just lose weird random stuff in life. Nothing to be concerned about, it ain’t reality. It’s just worth spreading the word about what my brain is producing about him while I sleep because it can have a meaning or be something that is true but never seen.

lowlife braindead punk
Add Zombies
Zombies will probably not come because this is a survival game, not a fantasy game
With the possibility to disable supernatural creatures, Kaalus can ironically add some of them like Zombies, Vampires, Dragons etc… In case of you don’t like them or if you find them unfitting for SC you can disable them if you want.
… But I’m more worried about Kaalus’ silence rather than Zombies in SC…
If you want zombies, play Minecraft. Survivalcraft is a clean game.
Pls put Zombies and spiders it will be more challenging if there’s Zombies and Spiders
Pls Add Zombies and Vehicles for surviving
go and play minecraft then
Anyone live here?
btw kaalus your time is running… I will wait ’til july
One person quiting Survivalcraft isn’t a threat. You already payed for the game, so if you leave, you will have lost money. Even if every person that plays the game would quit and delete the app, Kaalus still got the money from us buying the game. If you leave a bad review then the good reviews will still outnumber the bad ones. My point is that Kaalus doesn’t have to bow to our every wish. There is no point in saying that you’ll quit because the loss of one person in the Survivalcraft community won’t damage it at all.
Loss of One person after 11 months of Silence? One person only? Really?
With, or without updates, Survivalcraft 2 is a fantastic game, way better than Minecraft (PE) IMO.
I 100% agree with you!
I agree. I really feel like its fanbase needs a serious revival. As long as we enjoy it, we don’t need to throw it away just because of the lack of updates. For me, SC is one of the greatest games in the history and I don’t understand some people’s update hunger.
Probably you’ve misunderstood or I didn’t explained clearly by myself.
I think that he COULD add supernatural creatures since now there’s the possibility to disable them, do you want a full survival and realistic experience? Disable them! Do you want to have fun Gameplay-wise in general and encounter more unique mobs? Enable!
But to be honest, I don’t really mind if more supernatural creatures will be added or not, I just want news from Kaalus and SC…
WordPress being itself
This comment was intended to be a reply from Leinad Yllek, comment N 460
I think it would be alright if he adds more folk lore creatures, but makes then rare to encounter, like the albino animals
Kaalus, please come back! I can’t stand Minecraft, the textures and UI are horrible and that game is laggy. The updates are slow and the game is too complicated! Survival craft is the perfect blocky game!
the textures and UI are horrible – Maybe. Personal taste
that game is laggy – upgrade your computer or buy a new phone/tablet, or play older version (more features requires more performance)
The updates are slow – faster than SC….
the game is too complicated – ???
I play MCPE on my android device (Huawei Ascend G6). When i play a map, wich contains big village with huge number of villagers, the game is laggy. And when i’m in the ocean, the game is laggy. Of course, because my device has one gigabyte ram, and it is not enaugh. MCPE sometimes wrtite to the screen: Not enough memory, the textures are in reduced details.
I have MCPE 1.5.0.10 beta, and it has more stuff than SC has. For example: The lakes, oceans, rivers are more alive. The waterplants are moving, like in the real life. There are coralls, fishes. And ruins and sank ships.
The goal is: defeat the enderdragon. For this, you must go to the nether, after that the end. It cost more and more time.
And i think MCPE is more alive than SC.
And yes, SC is survival game, and MCPE… umm… survival-magic-idontknow game.
I play both of them.
And i enjoy.
But, i hate that, what Kaalus is doing.
“The updates are slow”
MCPE updating time:
1.4 – May 16, 2018 – Phase One Aquatic update
1.4.1 – May 17, 2018
1.4.2 – May 23, 2018
1.4.3 – June 5, 2018
1.4.4 – June 7, 2018
1.5.0.0 – April 25, 2018 – Phase Two Aquatic Update
1.5.0.1 – May 2, 2018
1.5.0.4 – May 16, 2018
1.5.0.7 – May 24, 2018
1.5.0.10 – June 6, 2018
1.6.0.1 – June 14, 2018 – major update
1.6.0.5 – June 27, 2018
So, looks like MCPE is updated on every week.
I agree with you, Howarohans. I enjoy both, but I prefer SC. However, MC has a “main mission” (kill Ender Dragon) and I commented in some Kaalus’s posts for him add a “main mission”. And I agree that silence is a lack of respect with us, I already read a lot of possibilities here about his silence, and there are some good reasons (if is true), but don’t post anything as “I still working on it” is a lack of respect (and of course, I play SC and I’ll continue playing, but I ever hoped see SC reach a great, an awesome place in “game world” since 2012)
Kaalus in his neglect of his user base has doomed this game to eventual oblivion. Sure there will be the die-hards, the clingers and those who would simply refuse to admit defeat. But unless he comes out with some new amazing thrills PLUS full online multiplayer AND a mod API, I see no way this game will even be a shadow to MC, as far as market penetration. His repeated and continued neglect of his customers is not unnoticed in the MC community – and I can see them laughing at us all.
No, we don’t need plants waving at us – that’s just useless visual effects. But it is a sign of just how far ‘ahead’ MC has gone compared to SC. And it is just these ‘useless effects’ that can bring people to buy the game. If he can’t leapfrog MCPE and get even further ‘ahead’, there will be no users left, other than us die-hards and clingers…
Honestly, the game really needs a larger assortment of items. We need more to find, more to craft, and more to farm. Like each animal should drop its own pelt so we have drive to find them. And with those pelts you could craft different clothings. That alone would add a lot. All around though, more items to do stuff with. Like… a lot.
No, we don’t need plants waving at us – that’s just useless visual effects. … And it is just these ‘useless effects’ that can bring people to buy the game.
Yeah
Just with this useless effect come a lot of other stuff. Just saying…. :)
Hey Kaalus, you’ve been so inactive all this years. Maybe about a year. An update is very urgent, and servers for community worlds stagnated. Please update.
Who else is waiting for July 27th?
Me, curious to see what is going to happen (or not happen)
Yes fair enough
Me too
Let’s rise a hashtag #1YearWithoutKaalus 😂😂😂
Why would that date mean anything at all? It doesn’t have a ‘4’ in it…
uhhh….
:)
It was a joke…
I already saw some MODs in YT, with native and barbarians, some supernatural things like zombies and ghost (that was a ridiculously copy of Enderman) and some crazy things like a native riding a lion and flying orcas. I don’t agree with mods, but I thought funny (but I’ll continue playing the original SC). But in this way, Kaalus will “lose SC” for the “moders”
nah, all those are fake. without source code, you can’t do nothing.
Actually, is there a russian that’s trying to make a mod api.
h ttps :/ / vk. c om / scmods
(remove all spaces, also, sorry my bad english)
Well, some mods are real, like world edit mod for sc. But how I said, without game source code you can’t do something too great
I’ve made a giant aquarium hidden up on a mountain with an Orca inside it, in cruel mode. Just too bad I killed it’s partner for 16pcs fish before realizing, a giant aquarium with 2 Orcas would look awesome.
n1sen isn’t fake. I downloaded and played, it has all that I said and more. There is four pages of spawner eggs. If you wanna try, here is the link (remove spaces too)

There are definitely several ‘legitimate’ mods already made, including the World Edit mod. There are also newly discovered potentials without modding the game, such as flying buildings and levitating blocks.

I’d probably cry if he comes back on the 27th
I am sure that he’ll be back.
I’m playing on cruel mode right now. I’ve survived 138 days, I’m level 23. I live inside a 40x40x6 or so castle wall with a few towers and a big iron fence gate that can be raised and lowered. Inside I have an automated farm, two spots for growing specific-height trees, and a furnace station, and in the center I have my underground home near my mines. I’ve got 3/4 chest of iron and copper. Can’t ever get enough cobblestone though lmao. How’s everyone else doing?
I’ve got a cassowary for eggs, and 3 bison for protection as well. Can’t find any cows :(
Stayed away a few days and my Orca disappeared. And I killed all cassowary and ostrich
lvl23 now
Good job! Once you reach that high level, it’s a lot easier to keep going. Just don’t be careless.
I usually start getting bored at that point and decide to abandon my house and start fresh somewhere new. . .
Thanks man. I’m surprised I’m not that bored yet! haha
Aaaaaand hello one whole year! Miss yah Kaalus buddy. Hope you haven’t abandoned your biggest work of art. Would be a shame to see you leave something you worked so hard on and for so long that many of us truly enjoy.
A year of waiting, what happened to him?:-(
Kaalus is gone. He will be forgotten, like everyone else. The diehards and clingers and rps will be the only ones left. I was first a year ago. Little did I know I was last all along.
Wow these timezones are ridiculously separate. It’s 12:06 where I am.
Duh! Survivalcraft has a worldwide user base. Or, should I say, “HAD”…?
This is unusual and annoying…
Unusual? Why? Developers abandon small projects like this all the time. He made his cash – maybe enough to put all his kids through college. That’s probably more than he even expected.
It’s only a surprise if you decided to ignore the obvious – that he left us months ago and doesn’t really care to keep supporting this one-time hobby of his. He’s ignored serious bugs for years since that’s like REAL work. So, it comes as no surprise to me that he simply dropped continued development all together…
Sure, there’s a minute chance he’ll be back. Even so, his user base will be (has been) decimated and with all the negative feelings he’s garnered from ignoring it (us), it’s not likely to come back, regardless of what he does.
Well it’s not something we should worry or care about and that’s life but it’s just crazy how that one guy had made that software years ago and it created many memories to millions of people. Everyday was an excitement to what more comes in it. Tbh this game was definitely a little over hyped but it *wasn’t* that bad. It’s not my first time to see a project get abandoned without any announcements but a game and a guy like this one, it sure is sad to be left like that. I know this may be a little far-fetched but the feeling is kinda like losing a loved one.
So here we are guys, officially one year without any new posts, and I’m here to show my thoughts and points about Kaalus and Survivalcraft.
After all this time without any news or updates I’m pretty sure Survivalcraft is in its way to oblivion, SC started as a game with the idea of being a realistic MC, with challenging survival mechanics and different playstyle.
Back in 2013-2014 the game met its maximum popularity, back when MCPE was horrible with loads of limitations, SC introduced to us many mechanics only present in the PC version of Minecraft and some very unique features, such as sleep deprivation, cool explosion mechanics and insanely complex electrics, many MCPE players migrated to Survivalcraft and it received a ton of attention and positive feedback, just remember the popular “It’s incredible how one guy working on Survivalcraft as a hobby can do more than 4 guys working on MCPE as a profession”.
However this reality have completely changed, even though the last updates Kaalus added were unique and cool, MCPE is already way ahead, and this is where I come to my strongest point in this post: The lack of online multiplayer.
There is something really wrong with a game when the most waited feature for it during YEARS is an online multiplayer, most games nowadays have online multiplayer as one of its most basic feature and resource, waiting for online multiplayer to be added to a game for as long as the Survivalcraft community have been waiting sounds very illogical and primitive in today’s reality.
And this is where I come to my second point, let’s suppose that Kaalus do come back, let’s suppose he does come with a surprise update with online multiplayer and many cool features, let’s face it, would it really be that cool? What are we even gonna do with Survivalcraft multiplayer that we haven’t already done and experienced with MC and other survival games? Modded serves? Minigame servers such as hide and seek? Sky wars? Prison break? City simulators? Dedicated pvp maps? Let’s face the facts, we’d be doing pretty much the same things we already got sick of doing in MC and in other games, there wouldn’t be anything truly new, just the revival of a long existing trend to give us some nostalgic feeling, with the tiny detail that it would have Survivalcraft mechanics, I can safely assume that people would get sick of multiplayer in 2-3 months.
And now I come to my third and final point, Survivalcraft doesn’t have anymore its most important detail: Being way ahead of MCPE. MCPE for a long time started receiving attention and now it’s pretty much identical to the PC version, it does have online multiplayer with mod support, many different servers and mini games and it DOES get updated regularly.
So, It was really nice while it lasted, but I do understand if Kaalus never come back, Survivalcraft will have a hard time catching up with the market, everything that SC dreamed of achieving have been already taken by MCPE, if Kaalus do come back SC would be seen by the market as pretty much just another copy of MC, not as a completely unique game inspired by it as it used to be. I still enjoy the game, but I really miss the posts, the updates, that spark of hope that the game will actually grow bigger, that our suggestions will be taken into consideration and will be added as actual game features, I miss all of that.
So I agree with Scruel, Kaalus might have developed 2.0 and 2.1 just to squeeze every last drip of money from SC before quitting it for good, and I also agree with Stanimus, Survivalcraft won’t come back to life unless something HUGE happens to it, all of this facts are understable and possible, but I pretty much lost all my faith.
We could agree or disagree but yor point of view is more than valid.
Another vivid factor IMHO may be SC latest update (2.1) where instead of improving survival mode made it more annoying and nothing else except for Level mechanic (which isn’t bad but could be better).
Sickness… Flu… Rotten Food… All of them combined harmed gameplay.
Agreed, and agreed.
However, there is still one feature that does keep SC far ahead of MC but it’s an esoteric and rarely used one – true electrics. Most people never use more than a switch, some will make a timer, others go as far as building clocks. It’s the very rare person (maybe less than 10 in this entire world) who truly uses the full power of electrics. (Like my “Big Project”)
I have accepted Kaalus’ negligence for some time now (years, truly), yet I’m still playing the game in many ways. The Phoenix Federation world is a cruel-mode shared world that’s still going after more than a year! I still play cruel-mode single player worlds, creative building worlds, adventure-mode world creation AND I’ve been using it as an electronics breadboard.
We do NOT need to give up the game simply because the originator has abandoned us. It is even possible that others will be breathing new life into it. For example, has everyone seen the “Moving Buildings” trick? The same person also discovered levitating blocks that can move the character along a skyway as though he’s suspended over nothing but air. And since his absence is now pretty much accepted, there’s also been people modding the game to give new features.
So, join the rest of us on discord (link posted previously) and let’s all see what WE can do for/to this game.
(I may even openly announce my “Big Project” there, in a matter of days…)
Oh, actually there’s 2 still unique features. The other is custom blocks. This has the possibility of changing the genre of sandbox worlds – IF it were to become well known throughout the realm. However with the game being abandoned, who wants to spread the news???
Again, stop by the discord server and see what’s been done with ‘furniture’ (a most stupid name for it). Especially the amazing vehicles that’s been created…
Sorry but ATM I’m not interested about Discord (I don’t have it for now and I don’t have a true reason to use it) but let’s talk about electricity.
Electricity is one of the best things that Survivalcraft has to offer and if wasn’t for the lack of Command Block is technically 10 times superior to MC’s Redstone (No limit of 16 blocks, easy vertical and ceiling circuits, proper Logic Gates, electric chips etc).
Survivalcraft Electricity is both simple and complex at the same time, and everything is considerably easier to make than MC. Even a minimal lightbulb on the ceiling connected to a switch takes less time and space in SC and the same is for working videgames or other extremely complex circuits.
Due to being somehow comparable to real life circuits is possible to fully understand SC electricity on its every aspect but you should be an electronic engineer (just like you) to become one with SC electricity.
Sure, a lot of players still have time to learn but not everyone is born to be an electric engineer.
But there’s something of positive in this: SC electronics helps to understand real life electronics and vice-versa!
Acknowledgement of electricity in SC community? Well, there’s people who is capable to create massive circuits to emulate complex music or minigames (You, MGBlitz and even that guy named Justin something, I don’t remember his full name:/ ), others who can make something of good and can use the most complex electric chips like Memory Bank, people like me who can use only simpler Logic Gates (Like NAND, NOR, XOR and the simplest ones) and Delays (in a certain sense, people like me is limited to True/False or On/Off electricity, the so called “digital” I guess) and last people who is barely capable to make an electric-controlled Iron door.
Despite some people doesn’t use electricity to its full potential, I think is pretty normal. Everyone in this world have their pros and cons.
But I’m glad of the presence of master electricians in SC community, they can make unbelievable things with electricity and they can also help inexpert players to improve themselves with electricity and I’m pretty sure that everyone here, more or less, is interested by your “Big project” and your studies about custom/edited blocks!
Sorri for mai bed inglisc
Cold temperature causing the flu is a myth. Kaalus added a feature that is an Old Wive’s Tale. The flu is a virus, NOT from cold weather
True. HOWEVER, viri will spread farther and faster in cold, dry air. Also, the immune system is weaker in cold temps. So, although being cold does not technically GIVE you the flu, it makes you more susceptible to it and more likely to catch it.
We could say that cold acts as a “catalyst” for flu…
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all having a good day because I have commented this to let y’all know about something you may not like and I hope it doesn’t ruin your day or your summer holiday. As you may know, Kaalus has left millions of people memorable moments in their lives because of his work that he had been working on since 2011. This is unfortunately no longer a thing. There’s no new update excitement comin up any more. This is his work and now it has met an end. This is life, this is not a dream but you my friend, you can make this dream a reality. To all keen programmers out here, you must try work on Survivalcraft whenever possible. You can be the next Kaalus today. So do it! Help us revive this admired work! And if you’re reading this Mr. Kaalus, we thank you for what you have done and I wish you reply to this even though it’s never happening in any second of this long journey of life. Later you all. Don’t forget this.
The end of an era?
One year passed
Happy one year anniversary without Kaalus!
Too bad about klauus hopefully someone can pick up where he left off…. So sad so sad
I’d even relearn C# to work on it, if he’d release the source code.
Of course from what I’ve seen, it may be a serious spaghetti mess (coder’s lingo).
Honestly, the fans will ruin it tbh
Checking back here after 1 year without Kaalus?
You may be interested in joining a live text chat with some other members of the Survivalcraft community.
I recently started a new Survivalcraft themed Discord server. If you don’t know what discord is. It’s a place for gaming communities to chat and get to know each other. There is both mobile and pc options. As well as support for other languages. Speaking of which.
This discord server will support multiple different languages/regions. What does that mean? Well, the server is set up to be friendly to native speakers of multiple different languages. Many Don’t know it, but Survivalcraft has a rather strong appearance/community in multiple different languages. The main ones being English, Russian, Portuguese, and Chinese.
Anyone is welcome though. Additional languages are already supported, and will be chosen to be supported as the need arises (although there is no guarantee they’ll have the similar activity, and we need staff for each one. So feel free to apply for staff on the server of your native language)! And don’t worry. You can opt-in to join any language you want. But if you can understand it is up to you! Also. We are dedicated to making a safe place for everyone. That means the chat will be family friendly and any sort of racism or purposefully offensive content will be removed and the user appropriately dealt with by the staff.
So what are you waiting for?!? Here is the link that will direct to the English instructions!

Hey, quick question. I have some younger siblings that play survivalcraft, and after this whole ordeal with Mono I wanted to make sure no one has seen anything like that on survivalcraft. I don’t want them seeing all of that.
Mono?
What has mononucleosis to do with a game???
I have No Idea!

Wow, this place is more dead than kaalus itself.
WHERE IS THE UPDATE ?
Such a Tragedy That He Died…. -_- Oh WELL! He’s Just Proving That Minecraft is Waay Better Then SurvivalCraft, I mean Atleast we KNOW That Mojang/Minecraft Teams/Developers/Microsoft Keeps Us Updated On What is Happening With Minecraft!!
safari crashing due to big page
kaalus probably dead
Probably 90% of the people who were waiting have stopped.
Most Likely 99.999999% Have Stopped Checking For Updates! Lol!
im still here…
Lots of people have come to the discord server to talk and keep the game active. Even if Kaalus dropped it, we haven’t!
Join us! Link is above ^ ^ ^

thanks for letting us know, i just added the discord link. cheers
Alrighty then!

Please Come Back Kaalus! WE ALL NEED YOU IN OUR GAMING LIVES! I did Say “Please”! -_- ;(
I would also like to see moss, which would spawn on fallen logs,
raw, cooked, and rotten meat renamed to raw, cooked, and rotten bacon,
the normal dry bushes renamed to short dry bushes,
raw, cooked, and rotten bison,
pooped corn,
different types of furnaces:1.the normal furnace renamed to the kiln,
2.the oven, which would cook food,
improved world generation to be a bit more realistice,
biome-like viens of rock {stones}, which would spawn differently than the biomes,
1.sedimentary would be found in strata layers of the world,
2.metamorphic would be found in the parts of the underground, with more heat and pressure, and/or where igneous rocks do not generate,
3.igneous would be found in the majority of the world,
all of them would be craftable into stairs, slabs, and bricks, except sedimentary, and they would all drop cooblestone variants of themselves,
more doors, and trapdoors,
fixing the hitboxes for blocks,
the water + windows, and glass animation being changed/fixed,
the diamond, and iron leggings have no openings where it goes around you’re hips. it’s just filled solid,
on a moonless night/new, dozens of more being visible,
the night being brighter on a full moon, and when on a full moon, stars being less visible,
I found a ton of bugs in the game:
1.slabs, and stairs do not react to lighting well. they are either too despite light sources, or let light pass through,
2.electrics stop working when you go out of render distance. put a NOT gate, by a piston, leave the area, come back, and the pistn can be seen extending, as the NOT gate takes effect. this can affect the syncing of timed curcuits.
3./4.water physhics seem glitchy, and glass prevents frezzing,
5.animal’s heads clip through walls,
6.the fence-like wall, when lined against blocks, the little holes, if you fall in them, they will cause you to spaz,
7.lighting will be incorrect. a portion of a room will be drastically darker than the other part of the room. breaking or placing a block in the region will update the lighting to normalcy.
8.pistons break furniture, occasionally
9.lighting on doors works incorrectly, despite being in a lit area.
bugs in the game, continued;10.water placed underneath a block will have a space, between the block, and the source, looking ridouciouls, and unrealistic,
11.you can have a group of pistons tied to a single signal, but they don’t all move in sync-sometimes one will be slightly delayed from the others
12.beasts spawn in in insane places, such as tight spots, where they could not get into, or out of,
13.lighting across chunks is flawed,
14.animals spawns in you’re builds when they get too large,
15.ice will not melt, if sheltered by a block, even though it’s in a hot place,
16.falling asleep on slabs will cause you too look through the terrain a little. standing on top of a slab, and looking up, and jumping will also behave this way,
17.electricts in the distance may be rendered, while the blocks around will not, causing objects, like lights to be suspended in thin air, and being visible, even though in reality, they are behind a wall,
18.placing a pressure plate, and flying back, looking at it at an angle will have the pressure plate rendering weirdly. words on a sign will also behave this way.
19.placing a burning mater on one side of the wall, then a chest on the other side, will cause the chest to be alit,
20.stairs corners still do not always form properly,
21.lightning causes permanent holes in bodies of water,
22.fire can create everlasting flame blocks suspended in the air,
23.at some height?, you can not place a block under you when jumping,
bugs, continued;24.the texture on furniture is upside down from normal,
25.if any programed chip is popped by a piston, it’s programming is erased,
26.blocks placed at world height will become invisible.
27.pour water into a hole, then put slabs around the hole, go into the water, down into the hole, and view the sides of the slabs. you’ll see the slab texture glitching a little with the water,
28.a thermometer when held in hand does not account for “artificial heating”. once placed, it will read correctly.
29.furniture switches when un-rendered, and then rendered again will emit an electrical pulse. this means that I you’re door is hooked to a furniture switched, and closed, going out of render distance, and returning will cause the door to open. in fact, just re-logging into the game with this will cause the pulse to be emitted,
30.place liquid in air, and quickly quit the game, and come back. liquid will float, and not flow,
31.sleep, and then quickly quit the game. re-entering the game may be problematic,
32.vines on stairs tends to be a bit glitchy, graphically,
33.some items in the creative menu when dragged around will glitch into the other items. E.G., when you drag the boat icon around the menu, the items in the background will cleave into the midsection of the boat,
34.plant growth halts if sheltered. ridiculously, plant growth continues, they tend to grow towards sunlight, but otherwise, the sun at different times of day will still reach them. otherwise, jungles would be barren,
35.the water physphics seem a bit glitchy,
and I think that 2.2 should take a bit longer, to make sure you’ve fixed everything.
I would also like to see in the game;1. a new bow type {un-strung},
2. blood,
3.new death animation, for animals {shatter} {splint into various body parts in slow motion, before disappearing},

Umm anyone see the update on playstore on the 12th?? Kaalus LIVES!
Omg yes!!! Survival craft 1 was updated on 12th sept 2018…… He’s alive!!!! He’s alive…… But totally ignoring us……
Where does it state that?
Check the Google play store for survival craft one. Press the more info. Shows the update info and date
So it is true, I checked- but why on Earth would Kaalus be going back and checking up on the old game?? As a subtle way of telling us he’s still alive?? It’s a relief to see that he’s still here, but what on Earth does that mean for Survival Craft 2?????
Checked play store and… Yeah, an update for SC(1) who simply fixes Dropbox stuff and other minor details…
Despite being a nearly useless update, is a good sign!
You are ASSUMING he’s the one who made that change…
Well, is still Candyrufusgames… So I don’t think that SC has been sold (yet)…
Android on Amazon has not been updated.
IOS has not been updated.
Windows 10 has not been updated.
Windows mobile has not been updated.
Why ONLY Google Store? What does that mean?
I think it means he is not still developing it. Google probably warned him they will drop it because it doesn’t work as advertised. He or someone else just made the minimum changes needed to keep it in the store.
I’m not getting my hopes up.
Where’s the update
@Stanimus
Neither do I, but is still a better situation than one week ago.
@jerwin89
The “update” is nothing more than a little fix available only for Android Survivalcraft 1 and Survivalcraft Demo. Simply fixes Dropbox compatibility and a few permissions on Android Marshmallow
Still Could be a damn sign dude
I guess now is a good time to remind everyone that a great place to meet other members of the Survivalcraft community is through discord.
Here are two Survivalcraft Discord Communities. One is slightly based more on everything and everyone (supports other languages), and one is slightly more dedicated to build projects. I recoommend joining both.
(remove the space)
“Survivalcraft” http s://discord.gg/ycT3vJS
“Survivalcraft Build Community” http s://discord.gg/uw54yGq
Hi what are you gonna add in survivalcraft 2.2?

4pls make animals droop bones to build new tools bone spear bone axe bone pickaxe
Dunno about you guys, but I’m still loving playing split screen with my cousin because he has no experience in any video game. I can wait a little bit longer, maybe 3 more months and I’ll quit checking the blog every once and a while.
I play Roblox Hence My Name
Comment
WOW, HE IS ALIVE! HE UPDATED SURVIVALCRAFT 1.9!
*1.29
Yup, I confirmed Survivalcraft Rabbit’s comment, Kaalus is alive and he updated the old Survivalcraft yesterday. Hopefully, we will hear from him soon.
Someone updated it. We can’t even know that it was Kaalus or CandyRufusGames, at all.
1. Android on Amazon was NOT updated.
2. iOS was NOT updated.
3. Windows 10 was NOT updated.
4. Windows phone was NOT updated.
5. It was only updated so it will work with dropbox, yet none of the other releases were updated – AND they still do NOT work with dropbox.
It does NOT make sense to assume he’s still working on the game just because of this. It actually makes no sense for him to update just this one release while the others are ignored. It is possible that someone else – even someone at Google or Dropbox intervened and updated the API.
True, the update doesn’t mean much so not I’m holding my breath. I don’t expect anything more from Kaalus or CandyRufusGames. Besides from recently, I only check here once every few months and me playing the game is just as infrequent.
Still, I will be more than happy if he does return in the future. If he does I’ll probably be a few months late to the party because of the frequency of how often I check here.
That’s unbelievable that he has returned…
If he is Still working on the game then he is most likely making Multiplayer. And LAN Multiplayer Support + The Abillity To Host/Make a Server like Minecraft. Then these would need to done in development:
1) Player Chat (Number 1 Because without it you wont be able to chat with anyone…)
2) Chat Commands (e.g /give, /setblock, etc)
3) LAN Support (The Foundation of any Sandbox Multiplayer Support since its the simplest!)
4) Multiplayer Server Hosting Software (Like how Minecraft does it where you download a server.exe or something like that)
5) Having UniqueUserId (uuid) for players, so they cant bypass bans and etc
6) Networking Support
7) Being able to render Blocks In Client From Server
These things would take alot of time for Kaalus. I think Kaalus wants to release all of this in one whole update instead of Multiple!
Dudo que una actualización sea para multijugador con sevidores, posiblemente sea solo para jugar con personas cercanas (Cosa que dudo que haga)
Una posibilidad es que esté trabajando en una gran característica, como sabemos Kaalus trabaja solo en SC, lo que ya es bastante agotador y lento, pero vale la pena esperar. Manten tus expectativas bajas y cuando llegue la actualización, ya podremos decir si valió la pena una larga espera. Lamento el español, pero me es imposible escribir en inglés y usar el traductor no es una opción. Saludos
I dont read Spanish, but thanks to google I was able to understand you :D. It doesnt take long at all if that was true, it has got to be mulitiplayer since its like the Most Requested Feature, Youll see tons of people Asking for it. Another great reason to add Multiplayer would be so people can play with eachother (show things off without having to share them!) And Minecraft has Multiplayer (Which is beating Survival Craft). So id think that He is working on Full Multiplayer. If He isnt then he better have the best update ever (Which I doubt). :)
On My BIRTHDAY!!!!
Special K has finally shown some sign of life?!!
On September 19, the original game was updated? I am very excited!
I cannot wait until the next sign of life!
Don’t hold your breath
At this point, I feel like we a group of astronomers searching for alien life among the stars.
I would also like to see, blenders, which would make potions,
3-d crafting,
jumpkins,
crops not getting trampled when walked on,
an option to disable the rotting mechanic in adventure mode and cruel mode,
daggers, which would re-place machetes,
lucky blocks,
tumbleweeds, which would drop sticks,
clover, and clover seeds,
whatever you’re holding showing up in the body/food tab/crafting tab,
improved in-game lore,
the milky way,
the ability to have costum fireworks {costum fireworks},
sea serpents, which would be a rare creature,
an option to play as an alpaca,
Stop ASKING HE AINT HERE
i would also like to see in the game; water {wet} particles on screen when character is wet,
rays spawning only in the ocean,
I would like to see KLAAUS actually reply even just to say hi and bye
That’s the disappointing thing. He doesn’t even think enough of us to say anything. Just disappears and silence
Kaalus where are you update the Survivalcraft 2
+1
I see that Kaalus did indeed update the original SC on September 12th. However, I only have the 2nd game purchased on my new phone. Hopefully he updates SC 2 as well.
The next update should be the multiplayer but this multiplayer is you need wifi to join or bluetooth to join somemone elses world.
Kaalus died
Why am I still here lol he’s not coming back
What is Kaalus’ email? Does anyone know? His fan mail that is.
it says on the left side of this blog
Where’s the update you have a nice game
I have a good idea for version 2.2 that you can add up to 200 colors in each world, so that you can use more colors in the worlds and make them look more beautiful and realistic. Another idea is to have new colors of lamps like: Orange, green, blue, yellow, etc. and also have lamps with greater intensity of light to be used as reflectors, public lighting. Please if possible try to put this in the next update of the game, strong hug.
I was hanging out with my hommies as we search for cure that will reduce the dangerous disorder that keeps me and my hommies. It was an wild adventure. But a Witch pierced my stomach with a spear. Now apparently I am here, which makes sense because I am just dead as this site.
To whoever still comes here, I have good news
I found Kaalus’s address on an online website and I am planning to write a letter to him overseas. He lives in the United Kingdom. Please if you are reading this and live in United Kingdom, Mail me gamereded@gmail.com and I will tell you the address. I don’t wanna say the address here because it might be invading his privacy? it just feels off somehow. I really hope Kaalus is ok and I hope the address is still where he lives
Message me at gamereded@gmail.com as I will not look at replies to this comment
It’s been like 1.2 years now. and yet, 2.2 is still not released.
Olá kaalus eu gostaria que na próxima versão a 2.2 adicionar um animal já ia ser adicionado no jogo a alpaca eu queria que adicionase a alpaca na 2.2 um forte abraço.
Kaalus is going to emerge after 1000th posts…
URGENT MESSAGE READ TO THE END
This is the point where we have to face the facts. It’s been over a year since Kaalus has been active on this forum and he hasn’t shown a hint o return. While I’d like to have hope that he’s coming back with the biggest update ever, that hope died a last week. It still amazes me that its been over a year since the last update. While I’m not 100% sure, I have a feeling Kaalus is in the most literal sense DEAD. This is my absolute favorite game and I’m scared for it’s future. Whoever is reading this listen up. In order to save this game someone needs to somehow take it, change the name, and recreate it. Add the updates that Kaalus wasn’t able to including new animals, natives(People), plants, reptiles, and compatibility with XBOX or PS4. Partner with Mojang or another company that will support the building of this game. Partner up with various people who know how to make games. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to ensure the future of this game because I sincerely love and appreciate Survival Craft. I have little computer skills and therefore am not able to. So I’m making a call to arms, so to speak, that SOMEONE take the initiative to save the game. If you agree, please reply to this message!!!!!
I just made a really awesome discovery. KAALUS is not dead! if you go to the google play app store then to Survivalcraft (not 2) then push read more under updates, he updated it last month!?!?
No way
Honestly I would love to try to revive the game. I have no idea what it would take. I would be willing to remake the game if needed, but first I would need to learn the required skill set. I definitely want to have this game continue on, I don’t want it left behind to die.
someone would have to recreate the game from scratch cause sc isn’t open source
it must have at least all the features survivalcraft has
it also must allow importing of current survivalcraft worlds
I think the discord needs to be more active!
Guys he’s alive go to the play store or App Store and Check survival craft 1 ( not 2) it was updated a months ago!
Did you know?
In Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.8 you can: The player can now add their own mobs, particles and more without having to replace any vanilla features.
So, if you know how to, you can add what you want.
But device is not enough strong to run the newest versions of MCBE…………………
*But my device is not enough strong to run the newest versions of MCBE…………………
Someone that lives in England, please, knock Kaalus’s house door and ask to him come back and say “hi”
I live in England but it’s, like, nearly a two hour drive. (Also that would be really creepy)
how do you know he’s in england?
In PlayStore shows the dev’s adress, and the SC adress says “United Kingdom” (but UK isn’t England, and he can be in vacation in another country, in other words, my comment doesn’t make any sense, I’m sorry)
ok, so wikipedia is wrong
it says he’s polish
i’ll probably edit the wikipedia article later
cool, make it please
I was bored.
I played wit SC 1.29.
I created a cruel world. I was lucky, because, the world was warm, and i spawned next to a forest and hiils. I started to search some pumpkin for food, and i was lucky, ‘cos i found four. Then i chopped some wood. Then began to rain. I run from tree to tree, and spotted a tiny sand patch, where was not rain. There i started to mining some dirt and sand, then bulit my first shelter. But for windows, i decided to use some leaves.so i went to the forest and get some leavesblock. Also i found some pumpkins. But the darkness began to fall. When i got back to my shelter, i spotted two hyenas, and not far a lion. They looked me, and started to run towards me form 15 blocks distance. I got scared, but in the next moment i started to build a pillar under me (jump, put a block, jump, put a block). So, the wild animals could not reach me. Because i got some time, i looked around, and noticed a hill with a hole, wich goes through it. So i baited the animals to the pillars opposite side. and jumped and run to the hill. I got in the hole and qiuck blocked the way in. The morning came. …
…
Then i started to fix the enty of the hole, and built it for the second shelter. Then i got some resources, and crafted some weapons. Went to hunting. Got some food. Went to mining. Got lot stuff. Crafted tools.
On the 12th day (in the game) i started to get bored. I had plyenty of foods. Iron and diamond tools. My hole became a house. The moment came that I did not have to worry about survive. And that was, when the question comes: What should i do?
I did not have to mine, hunt. I had everything what i needed to survive.
So i deleted the world……
In the 2.1, there is the foodrot. It is unfinished, becouse i can’t prevent.
But in 2.1 i was bored too…..
There is no more goal to survive.
– get some food
– make a shelter
– make some tools
– make a furnace
– get some food
– bulid a house
– farming
– mining
– hunting
and you can repeat the last three point indefinitely
But yes, you van improve, upgrade you house, your farm, your living space. But this is not importatnt to survive. And the game’s name is Survivalcraft. SURVIVAL
…..
….

I hugely agree with you. I’m playing cruel mode and I spawnned in a big island, so I only eat birds and pumpkins. I’m in the 44th day and I’m building a fortress and a bridge to access other islands and a continent. But when I do it I’ll say “cool…what’s now?”, and I think that everyone think like this because we need do our own goal. MPCE has its own main goal (kill Ender Dragon) that must be reached with some tasks. Comparing with our own goal, MCPE’s goal is harder and better, has “more adventure”. I’ll continue playing SC, cuz is a good game. But worse than the lack of a main goal, is the Kaalus’s silence.
(maybe after build my fortress and bridges I’ll try to make Christ the redeemer statue and Statue of liberty in the same world)
and after do it….I’ll delete de map and start again
You never know, he might be working on a huge update that takes a while, also he is the only one working on this game, so dont judge him to fast. He probably made that SC1 update to show hes not dead.
My comment is waiting for moderation? Why???
Firstly Kaalus alive. Secondly he’s still working on Survivalcraft. In a few years or even soon he will announce the biggest update ever. And I think we’ll have some surprises soon from him..
how did you know?
Rally ?and could you tell me more about next versions ?
I wish he is not dead, but it looks like he just might be. Look at his post. He just disappeared. I actually played SC the past two weeks.
yes he probably is
it’s now safe to assume that kaalus is dead
maybe someone could try finding a death certificate of kaalus
Yeah apparently there was some sort of update pushed on September 12, idk what it is since I haven’t downloaded it yet BUT what if it means he has actually been updating the game silently the whole time and INTENTIONALLY ignoring everyone -_-, someone’s got some explaining to do one way or another…..
Kaalus pls creations on windows 7 pleas.
And add zombies at the night 2.2
Windows 7 is old. Its time to get with the new times dude..
Kallus what if you add pandas and jungle biom
Multiplayer online please :(
Anyone else having problems with buckets not stacking? Especially pumpkin soup. It won’t stack no matter what. Others buckets, like empty ones or ones with water will occasionally stack and sometimes not stack. Or only certain buckets of the same type will stack and others won’t. Windows 10 version 2.1.23.0
It was intended to be like that. All full buckets does not stack, but if water does, it actually does not make sense. In real life you can only stack empty buckets.
Wow did something happen it’s been more than a year already and im getting worried, or he’s just taking a long deserved break? Or maybe this is a troll or he is making us suffer…
I need to download this, but can’t use Microsoft store, I also don’t have a phone!
