Can the text output from the 'speaker' mech be changed to look nicer. I find the underline text that it currently uses to be very intrusive. My personal recommendation is to have the text be coloured. This will allow the player to easily distinguish the different between text from a speaker and text...

Using the Reveal Tool on a Node Detector that has been set to detect a node will crash the game.

For 837 : Bartimaeus - solved all the colors except the cyan one. Is there some hidden trick? Every time I reset it picks a different configuration but all the configurations are literally unsolvable, considering that: a) you can only push 1 box, not 2 boxes at a time, b) you cannot pull boxes with...

I ran some test and found that,
server physics, walking speed = 4.8

Will the games physics be changed to match the server physics?

It would be nice if there were player rankings for individual boxes based on the fastest solve times. It would make boxes a lot more replayable.

Bug Report: There is a mech bug that occurs when you use the connector tool to start a mech connection from within 3 nodes of the south/west walls of a box. When the connection is complete the game will crash. This same bug use to be on the itb server about a year ago but has since been fixed by so...

There is an easter egg hidden in box 534 Box 534: Halfway through the box you'll come across three rooms with colour combinations above the room doors. The left and right rooms are locked but the middle room is unlocked. To unlock one of the rooms on the sides you'll need to input the colour combina...

@Pudding: Did you report this bug?

I didn't make an official report but I did inform one of the admins at the time that it was possible. Don't know if they did anything about it.

Signal Overlap Prevention: button -> extender -> adder(0/1) -> piston This will prevent the signal overlap you get from mech extenders. You can connect the button to both the extender and adder for a faster input signal which can help with mech synchronization. Mechs have a 0.05s delay when a signa...

Box Positions and Delayers: Box positions are preset. When you enter a box you will be teleported to the first box position that isn't occupied (e.g. if box position 1 and 3 are occupied you will be sent to box position 2). When you send a mech signal to a delayer the delayer will float the mech si...

I heard there was an Easter egg in box 534.

Bug:
Landscaping a box with pedestals on a torch/blank layer will keep the pedestals but will resets the pedestal count for the box to zero.

It would be very useful if when testing a box a player had access to the reveal tool.

Server Crashes v5.4.1
Using the connector tool has been crashing the server. This started after the server was updated to v5.4.1.

the server keeps on crashing saying that there is a Internal error.
edit:
pudding was crashing the server.

There are 4 chests, and 4 "biomes" (forest, plains, lake and ice). Maybe there is one nexus per island? But I have not found any other pedestals on those biomes. https://i.imgur.com/u4sXLHe.png https://i.imgur.com/2cGZGjL.png The pedestal is under the circled location. There is a ladder t...

how do you get into forest?

There is a hidden path through the trees to get to the pedestal. Use the sign on pedestal as reference to where the entrance to the path is.

Are you sure it isn't just the "secret" room that is needed to solve the puzzle? Or is it something else? I don't know what to look for.

The secret room hidden in box 25 isn't needed to solve the box but can be used for a faster solve time.

Spoiler

Box 25
Jump in the middle of lava.

I had a look at the server ranking code and I don't like how death effects box ranking. death is directly tied to damage. The more a player dies the more damage they take(death from full health is 20 damage). Damage also effects box ranking. If you look at the top 25 ranked boxes you'll notice that ...

Poof

I retracted my box in the review queue, made some edits and re-submitted my box. I did playtest it but I never completed my box after I made the edits.

Could the "reveal tool" be added to a players inventory when they play a box they've built and something like a "signal tool" that outputs a mech signal when hit against a node. This would make play testing mech boxes a lot nicer and easier to identify the problem with mechs if a...

Hook the chests up to an adder set to 1 (this prevents multiple opening of the same chest from sending out more than one trigger). Then hook all those 3 adders to an adder set to 3. Only 4 nodes are needed this way. Problem solved and this will work reliably. You call that reliable? it only works i...
