    Yeah we'll be sure to add buckets + extinguishing fire (panicked builder brigade) before we release fire.
    Though a stone facade on any tower would drastically reduce the affect of fire arrows anyway.

    Back to study so I've got time to work tonight. We're prototyping 2-tile doors.

    Ballistas, boats and new siege will come once we've sorted out these updates :) We want them as much as you guys, trust me.

    We _might_ push out a hotfix to kick the dirt backwall bug out of the game soon.

    Fire arrows? ;_;

    Why not fire sword?
    Or fire hammer?
    No more wood guise it's all over

    Wonderful work on the new stuff. I think you guys are doing a great job deciding what you're going to work on, instead of just throwing a bunch of random features into the game. Just... good work, as usual. :thumbs_up:

    I haven't been following this thread, but it all sounds cool.

    Except for the tinder idea, I wanna skim that shit, not prance over there in a boat because the kegs precious, maybe just make it so after a certain amount of blocks underwater the pressure blows up the keg?

    (Also on the boat topic, you need like a raft perfect for skimming meh' bombs!)

    I really like how lots of people have adapted to wood blocks really well. I go on a premium server and I see stone walls with wooden planks behind it. So to get water to put out fire you need a source, so there are buckets but where does the water to put in those buckets come from? A new workshop maybe?

    I imagine people will start digging wells throughout their base to get water. That way if a fire starts deep in your base, you aren't making a mad dash to the nearest lake to fill up your bucket.

    And will explosive things like bombs and kegs make fire? It would be more realistic but a bit OP.

    Will fire cost gold to use? Otherwise I see everyone in the future just spamming the hell out of it.

    Well they will be in the form of fire arrows and they probably would work like bombs how you can only have 3 and they cost 20 gold.

    I was thinking fire bombs, like costing 60 or something.. and making a small fire.
    I mean, upgraded arrows (Fire), upgraded bombs? :P

    OP as hell, but a fire sword would be the most awesome thing ever xD
