the first couple drawings of the meat tree looked like they were bristling with phalluses and were therefore canned

I guess they were the wrong kind of wood, huh?

Hmm...how much self-sufficiency would you say is possible in this game? I've contemplated making a sort of Skyblock-style survival map: a small chunk of dirt with a single tree, floating in midair with a few scattered islands containing treasures and a small number of special blocks. Problem is that I don't know how many resources a player can produce on his own. The only one that comes to mind is wood. Maybe dirt if a Rod of Dirt can be found or bought. But other than that, selection is somewhat limited.

• Wood, like you said.
• Plants and herbs, like beorn said. Also mushrooms, if that wasn't clear enough.
• Fallen stars, ditto.
• Lava and water, ditto ditto. Honey, too. Note this is maybe a way to make honey relevant as a healing item.
• Antlions shoot sand at you, so a properly set-up shooting range makes that renewable. That also means glass and potions and so on are all renewable.
• Cobwebs are only renewable in a spider nest, as far as I know.
• Grass gives you seeds as a farmable ammo for blowpipes.
• Living wood and leaves are both placeable with a wand and wood.

After reading this thread, I think I may be the only person who thought Bastion was just okay.

Looks awesome, I wants it. I always loved getting a biosphere world with bridges turned off, and zeppelinning my way between them.

Ominous spoilered chatter implies something's going on, but I would think would be a good compromise between those who want to enjoy the game and haven't played it yet and those who want to enjoy the game and have.
