"Isn't that hot?"
"Extremely."

Eventually, Amberly rose somewhat shakily to her feet. She hadn't felt any response to her prayers from the Old Gods, but that wasn't all that unusual; they were usually more concerned with keeping the world running than with the affairs of mortals. There wasn't anything to do at the moment but push forwards and hope that she receive some sort of sign.

: "We should examine the artifact from the museum. It would be a shame to cause so much misery over a thing and then lock it away afterwards."

No steel, but there is uranium of all things. I don't know if it actually spawns anywhere but it's visible in the in-game handbook (along with some rather advanced bits of technology).

So there most definitely is a foundation. What the devs will do from here is still a bit up in the air.

Any suggestions for early-game housing? I'm a little done with hiding on a dirt tower every night and needing to kill 2-4 gathered drifters (which don't even drop anything!) once the sun comes up. Unfortunately I need all of my wood blocks to make firewood to make charcoal, and cobblestone almost requires metal tools in order to gather sufficient stone.

I dislike drifters. I don't mind the presence of hostile creatures, but they are not fun to deal with and unlike Minecraft mobs you can't just wait them out until morning. If you're unlucky enough to get surrounded by drifters at night you absolutely must clear them out before you can get anything else done.

EDIT: I downloaded the new stable version, wiped the old world because apparently 1.9.1 is such a different beast that even a huge array of server commands can only partially fix a 1.8.x world. First impressions:
Foxes are adorable. I hope they can be tamed at some point.
They made the pre-metal grind even worse by now requiring a whopping 20 copper bits to make a single ingot. Considering that on my previous world I was lucky to find a whopping total of 15...
On the bright side, I found my first ruin, on the surface even. I broke open a loot container labeled (Food) and discovered, not food, but a friggin vinyl record disk. Very cool, but I can't use it. At least I can strip down the ruins for enough cobble to build a proper house for the first time, ever.

EDIT 2: Goddamn wolves. Ambushed me while scouting out a place to build my home. Now my cool stuff is gone somewhere far, far from spawn, and I cannot find the place again.
I don't suppose there's a log somewhere that might mention the coordinates where players have died, is there?

EDIT THE THIRD: Found my old site, but some of my stuff despawned (not the record though!). Barely escaped from roving wolf packs, now trying to find a place to build a base. I wanted to settle on top of this massive plateau I found, but I discovered one very sad new change: You can't swim up waterfalls any more. No more water elevators, I guess.

Yep, reeds and horsetail from the looks of it. Took three worlds before I found any reeds, I wonder how long it'll take me to find horsetail?

Luckily I found some redcurrant bushes, and those heal a tiny amount of HP each. I'm going to harvest some bushes and try to grow my own supply.

So I decided to try playing this.

My world is infested with hyenas. It hasn't even been a day and I've died multiple times. By far the worst instance was when, while walking along the edge of a massive lake/ocean looking for reeds, I got caught between two hyenas that my spear was unable to fend off. I respawned, tried to make my way back there to collect my belongings, and got killed by another hyena before going 20 blocks.

This is (not) going well.

EDIT: I tried to rush back there, sprinting the whole way. The hyenas were guarding my stuff, I fell into a hole while trying to dodge them, and then they caught and ate me again. I'm giving this world up as a bad job.

Turn up the juice until cord melts, then record the wattage/voltage/amperage/whateverage. Buy an identical replacement cord.

Easy peasy.

I have her from an earlier event. She's fun, if not especially broken.
