New update is live. As far as I can see three big new features
1) farming. You can plant & grow crops, both for food and other uses. Requires making a new tool, the ‘tiller’.
Update: a tiller allows you to turn normal soil blocks into furrows for planting. You find new plants out in the world, when mined they drop seeds. Put seeds in furrows to grow plants. As the hint says ‘not all plants grow in all soils, and not all plants grow upwards!’ You can make simple wood tiller which seems to work fine.
I have planted some yam seeds behind my house, we’ll see how that goes.
2) painting. Goo can now be used to colour blocks. Haven’t tried it yet, don’t see a recipe for a paintbrush.
update : ah, no paintbrush but there is a spray gun!
3) real liquid water. Apparently there are safeguards to stop people using it mischievously. Just about to test a few things, apologies in advance if I accidentally flood Bobo La Forge.
Update : water does indeed ‘flow’ exactly the same way it does in mine craft. Not sure how irrigation is going to work. May have to make a bucket and see how that does stuff. Maybe we need to build reservoir at the top of the hill? Also need to dig a hole to see if rain fills it with water.
