A Guide to the Stranded II “WIP” Modification (WARNING: Spoilers)
By Builder2.0, Aseospadez, & Wesnc

Major Changes:
-TERRAFORMING!
You heard me. Spade renamed to shovel, and now there’s a new tool, the Spade. Right click and you lower the land, while also getting a nice pile of dirt. While holding the spade, “use” some dirt and you’ll raise the land. Coded in *under* 2 hours. And, it’s not a huge “drastic” raise\lower. It’s very slight and takes quite awhile.

I wonder where is this going to reach...

-Includes an explosive barrel that when it explodes it plays a sound effect, has a massive fireball, smoke, and shockwave, and to top it off does massive damage within it's huge radius.

-Sulfuric Acid
-Nitroglycerin! Try not to hit it by accident.
-Glycerin

-Animal Fat

I've taken a look at your mod and tried out the new things.
I find your speed of development impressive and the whole mod is quite properly done with the models and interface graphics of the items.
But I cannot see a great sense in the new things - maybe you should broaden the mod's profile:
You're going very far into chemistry, you're going very far into metallurgy, but that's all far beyond survival.
The new weapons, sword and pistol, just deal more damage and make hunting more boring.

Questions:
1. Why should the player make all the new stuff, except for sheer curiosity?
2. Have you already imagined sources for all the new raw materials?

Suggestions:
1. How about letting the spade also modify the colourmap? It's very strange that grass remains where one raises or lowers the ground.
2. I believe you could make gunpowder with coal dust instead of charcoal as well.

First I'd like to say hello to all and especially to the people who came from the Monkkonen forums.


Now speaking of which about giving more options to long-term survival players Builder, you may have already considered this when you said you were gonna fix some bug you were unaware of but how about tree and animal regeneration?

I am one of those who would love to survive on a *HUGE* island and construct a great complex foundation even if it takes a long time and I thank you greatly for being the first after my long long search for a game that is what your trying to form out of this one.

Now about what I said earlier about animal and tree regeneration, how about making tree regeneration a little faster and adding "Tree Seeds"? I have cut down trees for logs to construct certain objects but the scenery around my "foundation" gets boring cause there aren't many trees around. But as for making a tree stop growing back in a certain place you can use a shovel/spade to dig out the "Tree Roots". Lastly Animal Regeneration, that you most likely already considered (or was that what those lion, raptor ETC. rocks for?), but even so if any of the animals go extinct it'd make the game a little less fun but I can't really think of a way to keep all the tame/wild animals populated right now...



Thanks for a pontentially great mod, SpeedBlade

2. Yes, lion rocks and raptor nests = "spawn points". Same for bird nests, kiwi nests, parrot nests, coral, and a few other objects.

PS: Monkkonen forums...?

-Builder

The Flintlock Pistol does not just deal more damage, it was actually a test of adding effects to weapons. The "normal" (editor only) pistols\shotguns only went "pop". That was all. My new Flintlock Pistol now goes "bang", includes a smoke cloud, and I'm working on various changes to how it fires (using proper "balls" you must make from either stones\chisel or metal).

1. As I work more on the mod, many of the items will be useful for a great deal of tasks. Explosive barrels could be used to clear away huge rock formations or destroy lion\raptor rocks\nests in one large blast. With nitroglycerin you'll be able to make various new weaponry and tools, capable of doing explosive damage or terraforming the landscape with large blasts.
