HW1 is like that in multiplayer mode too. They're a bit slow though, and hyperspace jumps are almost prohibitively expensive.

I don't think you can move the mothership in campaign mode for either game though. All the movement occurs in-storyline via hyperspace jumps and such.

Since this is here, it's worth saying that Torchlight 2 is coming in July.

This one has been going around now, a friend told me about this.

Make a world with 3666440496532277820 as the seed.

Have fun.

Well if it counts for anything, Notch has stated he was working on mod support. I believe this was mentioned last month or so on his blog. It's probably why we haven't seen much stuff from him, while most of the features we've seen lately have been from Jeb.

I don't even think they fire in auto-combat either, like most specialized weapons.

And deserts are not terribly common. There is probably more sand that isn't underwater on beaches than deserts in any given world.

I've noticed it depends on world. I think the temperature and rainfall stuff is rendered across large areas and dictates a number of biomes, so if those don't line up right, deserts won't be very common.

I play on a private SMP world that has quite a few deserts. I live in the tail end of an absolutely large stretch of what can only be described as a wasteland. Huge, nearly-treeless plains intermixed with gigantic deserts. You can travel for thousands of tiles along it and only come across a couple small patches of trees.

But yeah, none of them are particularly wide enough to pose a resource issue. At most, you're only 200-300 tiles away from trees or anything else you need that you can't get in deserts.

Maybe someday biomes will be bigger.

I've had babies land in ponds after being born before. Twice in one fort, in fact.

It was... disturbing.

"Lightning4" is pretty scary stuff.

There's some cool cliff/mountain stuff, and on the other side of one mountain there is an absolutely massive overhang.


There also tends to be a ridiculously large monster party underneath that overhang. First time I saw it, there was easily something like 10-12 creatures underneath it. There's only a few in the shot though.
