Don't argue with Mr. Fedora.

One thing I want for this mod is for you to be perfectly able to live on the surface and play vanilla minecraft until you discover space. Sheep should not be robots, paintings should be wood. I almost am against changing the paintings to show spaceships.

Agreed!

It is Futurecraft, so I want the paintings to be PAINTINGS of things that are futuristic.

But the only problem with that is that I see it taking a long time to get your first frigate out. Before that, you still have times when you are a primitive society, where your paining would not be about space battles.

Why not? We, as humans, don't have advanced spaceships, yet we create books, movies, pictures, games, etc. about them.

Why can't Steve and the rest of Minecraft do the same?

We fantasize about such things because we have everything made out for us. Note that many primitive paintings involve things they worshiped or considered important at the time, not like in modern times where we ourselves appreciate those with imaginative works of art because we're not struggling for survival, like Steve is.

Steve, struggling to survive? I consider struggling to survive the first night. The second night, you have a large house.

yes, but after that, you aren't thinking about the stars, if fact,t he only time you see them you're huddling inside your castle/hut.

Oh, that's another thing. I think we need to upgrade the night sky. Also, what about the graphics mods? Will we use them?

Some, but they will have to all be optional, we don't know whose computers can actually support them.

I'm thinking that you should just add the "space themed pantings" to the already existing group of paintings. That way you have a choice in-game.

I really like the look of the wiring and of the Naquadria (probably spelt that wrong so sorry if i did)

Thank you. I'm not even going to bother mentioning the necropost right there.

Kinda stuck on the word "necropost"?

Yes. I appreciate the compliment, but you still made a necro-post.

If a dev log is necroposted it's a bad sign ...

Is there also going to be a 16x16 texture-pack?

It's possible to resize a 32x32 to 16x16 but it will look quite ugly ...

As I learnt with my (very cool) exo-suit skin. (Not the one I have currently)

Mac, can you update us with some new textures?

Spoiler:

It's not a necropost if it's on topic.

Spoiler:

I could. But first I need blocks to texture. The vanilla blocks will be mostly unchanged (at least all of the mechanical ones).

Shouldn't you change the name of this dev log?

I knew someone would mention this.
