Semi off topic: Did they add dynamite? I swear a guy ran buy me earlier and blew a big hole in the ground.

Have they said water for sure? Thought awhile back they said something about no water.

Has anyone been able to find Sapphire? It's a tier 4 common gem. I'm trying to make the cobalt pick, but can't find it anywhere.

I was trying to wrap my head around how they are going to get water to work in this game with having the voxels heal themselves over time. If we divert water from a river into a valley to create a lake, will it disappear back to the original flow and destination of the river? Or are they going to let water be whatever it is going to be but still have voxels heal over time everywhere but on my claim? It's interesting for me to think about, and toy with ideas on the many possible ways and solutions there will be when they introduce water.

I would recommend that people just hold off doing anything at all at this point. Just logged in and not only are the crafting tables I placed in my claim gone, but the items in my inventory are as well including a table that I never even placed in the world! Tons of running around mining / logging stuff to make these things completely down the crapper until they manage to figure out basic database configuration management.

Yep my buildings have been wiped a few times already. I am going to just mess around for a few days until they get some things worked out.

I would focus on getting your silver axe and other items in your bags for now until the fix their voxel data.

Yeah, I haven't done shit because of this along with the fact that there is literally no good claim space left.

Its not just the voxel data now. Items that were in my inventory have now vanished, items that were there a few hours ago have completely poofed

Did you create a custom chat channel by chance? There's a bug that causes someone who creates a channel to stop saving character data.

For those of you, like me waiting to strike a different claim.

We are holding off on the launch of Serenity until we get this new voxel issue resolved. There's no point otherwise. More soon.

This spot has an alabaster forge, gold work bench and an upgraded saw (forget the name).

You can make all the accessories here and every pick that is usable, as far as I know.

Honestly I hope they get the other servers they have mentioned on the way up and going and launch more than one at the same time. With folks still buying in Serenity will be instantly filled also I think.

7,500 cobalt and 100 elemental cobalt later.

I'm clearly missing something. My pick explodes stuff, and I dig out the entire area around the cobalt. Is there some kind of cobalt deposit that spawns with sapphire instead of the red ore? If so, is there a trend as to where they spawn? Right now I'm on hillsides and mountainsides in the shallows (tier 3).

Combat will be at either the very end of alpha or the start of closed beta. The main hangup with that system is that mobs cannot be introduced into the world yet. "The thing that's stopping us from putting monsters onto the game is that we do not yet have pathfinding code written that works with changeable voxels." In other words, monsters can't just follow points on a path, so a whole new AI server has to be in place to handle calculations on the fly, allowing mobs to move around on ever-changing terrain.

Additionally, once liquid is in the game, players will be able to drown as well as burn in lava. On top of that, falling damage will eventually ensure that players will get hurt if they jump off a mountain without having a grappling hook or gliding. And the ability to slide up mountains will be a thing of the past once those mechanisms are put into place.

I can't imagine how they're going to create a real combat system with manipulatable voxels. Minecraft is fun for a time but once you figure out the AI it's very simple to ruin a mob's ability to path. My favorite escape plan is to run to a wall, bust through it and close the other side. Will be nuts if they give mobs the ability to destroy voxels to chase you.
