I'm getting the error Connection Timed Out:Connect error. Not sure what this one is or how we could get it fixed. He can join his own so the server is running. I just don't know where the issue could be. Everything sounds like it is in place from what he says (he isn't a computer noob either, he has a clue) so I'm kind of confused on where the issue could be. Anyone with any ideas?

I'm in the ocean. The source is everywhere. Can't just block it off.

O wow. Duh. Can't believe I didn't think of that. So simple yet so effective. Ty very much. This will save me hours of work.

So basically I am trying to build my house underwater. I have it all blocked in so that no water can com in from the ocean but there is still a ton of water in my house (house is pretty much filled). Is there a faster way to remove water rather than the 9 bucket method I'm doing right now which seems like it is doing nothing?

So those options got taken out? That is strange. Those are good options to have in the game. O well. I will figure something else out. Any news on these options (+more even) coming back in to the game? And also anyone else got any cool ideas?

Nobody know what I'm talking about? I'm really curious because I would like a little more control over my randomly generated world (oxymoron I know).

That sounds cool with the islands. Here is my question though. How do you make specific maps? I have seen youtube videos of people getting the option to make the map large and to have it be winter and stuff. How do you get to make those options? All that happens for me is I hit new world and it makes a completely random world. I don't get to choose anything.

I only play on the hardest difficulty. I like some of those ideas and will probably try a wood tools only game. I was thinking of ideas that are more RP though. I'm a huge RP fan. Like the idea behind collecting for 2 days and then staying underground was to simulate The Vault from Fallout (I know it was to simulate something else too but this is the description I read). So really just whole gameplay styles in general is what I'm looking for. I do like the wood only tools run though. Sound fun and challenging.

I'm curious if anyone has come up with some cool ways to play the game. The only one that I have heard of is collecting for 2 days and then never coming up to the surface again. I have one file where I have started this already. Anyone do or have heard of any more really cool ways to play? All I really can think of by myself is just actually roleplaying going down in to a mine. I have the mineshaft created and I use carts to transport my goods back to the main shaft when I branch off and everything.

Anyone with any ideas? I would like to be able to have some of these fixes so that multiplayer works better. My friends and I are getting frustrated always losing our inventory.

I know there are guides but the ones I found are for setting it up with the .exe which I have already done. To my understanding though I can't use any of fix mods like llamacraft and the one for having an inventory. So How do I go about setting up a server the other way so that I can use all these things? And if I can do it just using the .exe one how do I do so? Thanks in advanced.

Then tends to work for me as well but what do you do if you have none of that item and an open slot isn't working?

Doh. Didn't read slot. Heh. Ya it looks like when you continuously scroll it starts to allow you to pick things up. Hope this gets fixed so that you don't have to deal with that.

Thank you much guys. How do you to change to a free inventory? And is there a page with patch notes and info about when patches might be coming up? I'm interested to see when patches are planned to be out and what they are planned to fix.

I am currently hosting a little private server for my friends and I. Things are going well based on things that should and shouldn't be working (hope the things like chests not saving stuff and furnaces not working gets fixed soon) but we have hit a problem that is stopping us from even giving ourselves the items. We can't always pick up the items. They will be sitting on the ground and we will run over them several times and it will just stay on the ground. Now I can usually pick up items but I figure that is because I host the server. Sometimes it seems if you have the same type of item equipped that you are trying to pick up then it picks up but that doesn't always work. Is this a known problem or is there just something wrong? Any ideas?
