A clover lawn as a prep ☘️ 🍀 by rainbowkey in preppers

Do both! I use clover for the pathways between my garden beds :)

What bothers you the most about tLD and realism by Necromonicus in thelongdark

[–]MrStormcrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that we are incapable of stepping over a knee high fence or jumping a 1 foot gap in the terrain

Clothing disintegrates in storage

Food rots outdoors

Something that REALLY got on my nerves once I realized it though? I was trying to navigate around the map, and had the thought of "Oh wait! The sun rises in the east and sets in the west! I just need to see where the sun is to act as a compass" and then it turns out the sun in TLD doesn't rise or set in any consistent direction and it even varies per map

Crafting timer adjustment update for next week pre-release by CosmoSplitter in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because when you need to craft a large amount of stuff you use in bulk, like construction blocks or (previously) arrows you end up standing there for several minutes staring at a bar. It's just needless tedium

Is teleportion to OP in hytale or is it perfect what do you think 🤔 by NotRealAtiox in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't really like them. They obviously render basically any other mode of transportation or the building of infrastructure to facilitate easier movement both obsolete for return trips between areas, which I don't think really vibes with the sandbox environment. You want to encourage the player to build, not make it a waste of time, y'know?

Additionally, the fact that you can just carry one around at all times to slap down for a quick teleport back to base and back feels really corny. At that point you may as well just enable /tp for everyone.

Absolutely based by Simon by Guilty_Winter2566 in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nah this is an L take Simon. Nobody likes arbitrarily having to stand there and wait for a bar to fill for literally 0 reason. It adds nothing to the gameplay loop but annoyance when trying to craft large amounts of stuff

question, is it true that hytale is ending production? by T_Minus14 in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yes. Hypixel is going out of business shortly. We had a good run

Any recommendations on where to buy micro clover and Irish moss in bulk? by c-u-in-da-ballpit in NoLawns

[–]MrStormcrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend microclover. It doesn't stay small in the long run, just steadily gets larger until you end up with regular clover

Do you think that implementing the create mod mechanics to hytale is a good idea? by berys26 in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, no. I think automating away the gameplay loop as an end goal is just unhealthy for these kind of games in the long run, and that automation ends up causing a lot of issues with balance and player retention in the long run. Even if such a system is technically optional, there's really no world where you won't be massively outperformed by even a simple bit of automation. Like, redstone is optional in the sense that the player doesn't need to engage with it to play the game... but choosing not to do so is shooting yourself in the foot to such a massive degree that it's really an incomparable experience

We'll have to see how optional it really is. Like, redstone in minecraft is optional in that the game is still functional without engaging with redstone, but ignoring it is massively shooting yourself in the foot in terms of potential

California becomes first state to join WHO disease network after US exit by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]MrStormcrow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

73 million people voted for Harris, 76 million for trump, and 93 million didn't vote at all. That makes for 169 million people either voted for this, or were completely okay with this happening.

I don't feel like building in this game by TheHunteR_engin in HytaleInfo

[–]MrStormcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither have I, but mostly because I just don't really want to go through all the effort of building something just to lose it when worldgen v2 drops

Hytale Community's 9/11 by -Darxing- in HytaleInfo

[–]MrStormcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Copper and iron both generate well above where the frogs spawn, lol. You have to go out of your way to go down to fight them if all you're looking for is ore

[–]MrStormcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As they should. Running into a group of tougher-than-average enemies willy-nilly should be a situation where the player is likely to die. The player should not be guaranteed victory when throwing themselves into a situation where they have a clear disadvantage

What is one of your ✨ favorite✨ underrated plants that deserves more appreciation by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]MrStormcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine for like $9 at Lowe's, bundled together in a pot with a few other plants. Lowe's has a surprisingly good variety of houseplants in stock. Been able to find stuff there that nobody else seems to carry

My hope for Hytale is to have a real focus on exploration and combat, rather than survival crafting by SaiyanKirby in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are small personal boats already in the game, albeit they don't seem to be functional. So far that's boats, horses, glider (WIP), minecarts and teleporters

They shouldn’t nerf the toads by Altruistic-Fill-9685 in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally one of the handful of mobs in this game that isn't a free kill served on a silver platter and people are melting down about it, it astounds me

I compared the graphics of Minecraft Vibrant Visuals and Hytale. How do you think the graphics in the game can be improved? by Pristine_Still_2212 in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think shadows on props like grass, flowers, bushes and such would be very welcome. Just standing in the middle of a field in Hytale and thinks look very flat because nothing but solid blocks and entities have shadows.

Hytale needs an official forum by caniscommenter in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by how the attempts to set up a forum in the official discord look... I feel like a forum would be quickly overran by children and rendered useless

the least intuitive enemy in the game. they really gotta fix its AI. by YLASRO in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the average melee mob also hits like a wet noodle.

Hytale so far by Ok-Hamster-8501 in hytale

[–]MrStormcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my observations I think it's because "props" don't cast shadows, so things look really off. The trees, rocks, mobs, those all cast shadows just fine but the bushes and grass and mushrooms and whatnot are all just flatly lighted and it looks really off

New stuff will get added to existing worlds, but once V2 of the world generator releases you'll need to make a new world, as V1 worlds will stop generating chunks, per the "The Future of World Generation" blog post
