:D

Before or after detonating the bomb?

shhhhhhhh

Sorry.

Dear Eschalon, please ignore the above. Jon is not a terrorist, he is a freedom fighter.

What you mean is that you haven't been on at the same time as anyone else for a while? :P

I've had several fairly long sessions over the past few days.

It may well be that, aye :D

Something I've noticed with chunks generated since beta 1.7 update is that there seems to be a lot more vertical shafts (compared to surface tunnels), and deposits of iron ore seem to be larger (though I've not done any objective comparisons).

Oh, and for the benefit of people not paying attention to it, there's an update on what will be coming with the beta 1.8 update:

I'm not entirely sure how "Randomly generated dungeons" differ from how they are now, unless he means they'll stop being cuboids.

Would be nice if biome edges are more feathered/non-linear, though no indication if that's what is actually changing.

I'd be wary of attributing weird toplogocal/geological stuff to updates. It seems to be very world and region based. I've had whole worlds where coal was very scarce and regions where iron was ridiculously abundant and stuff. The randomness of these things seems to be quite... clumpy. Which is good, cos genuine randomness is too, and it leads to interesting worlds.

I didn't actually attribute anything to the update, I simply pointed out that the chunks where it is occurring happen to be ones which were generated after the update was applied. :P

Implicitly, you did. Unless you're not using English, in which case I take back my foul accusation :Y

Yeah you and I were on the other night. First time in awhile that I got to hang with Pete.

I never use English, I use an enhanced personalised variant of the crappy thing. :P

What I did was identify the area where I had been exploring, and noted a coincidental difference to other areas I had been previously, to see if anyone else had noted anything similar (there was a sentence to this effect which I forgot to add since I was sidetracked by thinking about the adventuring changes and thus went and talked about them).

You prematurely jumped to conclusions that I was actually attributing my noticements to the change, rather than the truth of still being in the data gathering phase and not having performed any acts of attribution (other than of the area within which I'd been).

We were on together on Monday and Tuesday.

You rudely ignored me on the Monday. :@

Hmm, I must have been drunk! I'd never ignore you on purpose!

Ok, since you admitted that you are not using English, you are allowed to say that ridiculous stream of gibberish which followed.

I very afraid to open that one you posted to Matt. There is an old lady that sets next to me, will she be seeing horse cocks?

Haha, no, definitely no horse cocks. Just the thread title is a bit rude.

You fucker!

Oh you meant horse cocks?

Yes, there may be those.

You... man that shit is not cool!

They're a delicacy over here (hug)

Speaking of which, I reaaaaallly want a vid of you and your clan trying the pork scratchings.
