Comment on I wonder what would've happened if Lego bought Minecraft
supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 3 days agoIt was originally a survival focused modpack for minecraft until it morphed into a separate game and it is very good at that.
I also like the engine better, the fact that you can chisel out blocks allows for really beautiful building and makes creating tools interactive in a simple but fun way.
Highly recommended!

Oh shit, if it’s anything like the old chisel mod for mc I’m already sold! I got really good at carving headstones for all my dumb deaths.
How does it apply to crafting tools? Also is there anything like Redstone? I deeply love hitting the industrial revolution.

Crafting tools goes from bashing rocks together on the ground to make tool heads to pouring molten metal in clay tool molds (or physically smithing them out on an anvil with a hammer).
There are windmills, and the next update will bring water wheels, which power certain more advanced machinery like querns for grinding grain or helve hammers for somewhat automatic smithing.

Any stuff like item sorters or mob grinders or similar, exploit the game for x type stuff? What’s the item diversity like? One thing that burns me out in Minecraft is sorting everything comfortably.
Famko@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Well there is a much larger focus on realistic survival, but I bet you could make some kind of item sorter using chutes and stuff.
As for item diversity, there is a lot of different tree and mineral types (think Magnetite and Hematite being 2 ores for iron, with them being able to spawn in different rock types). I haven’t had too many issues with item sorting, but I’m rather disorganised in terms of sorting my storage.
Modders have probably made some sort of storage mods, since modding in VS is very robust and easy compared to Minecraft.
