Hi, where is the new content for PlayStation? Can you give us any information?

Thank you very much, I am satisfied with this change.

Didn't I objectively present the before-and-after comparisons for everyone's reference? And how many players can YOU actually represent?

There's no objectivity in personal taste. What's beautiful to you might not be to the other person. I've personally always loved the scaled flooring and have used it in my bases. So don't go raging over the situation on Klei forums.

This is just a hunch,  but since SofyHappy's post sometimes shows text with a white background, so I guess they might be using machine translation here.  If that's the case, the nuances we’re both trying to express may be getting distorted by the language barrier. This has happened here before, I’d appreciate your understanding.

That said, I’d also appreciate it if SofyHappy could use a bit more kindness wording.

 Wavy Jones having an insanity aura like Shadow Hands.

 

Scaling flooring change is a bandaid on an amputation - not helpful, especially with the fact fire spread will still spread.

Hound corpses, I can see that their bodies would naturally give off an insanity aura due to them being made of monster meat (fuel touched meat). Koalefant, no idea - weird choice.

Shadow hands do not have an insanity metre nor should they, Wavy Jones I can see it being used, but on a boat it's going to make space an issue with restoring sanity a bit - not that bad in all fairness, but a bit short-sighted for the sake of theming.... in which the theming does not exist on the reference.

It's fine if irreversible damage happens in a world because admin can just rollback. It’s part of the intended gameplay /4head

Of a koalaphant? Would you be scared if you saw a dead cow?

Quite obviously, i'm not in the game, the survivors are and i'm pretty certain seeing a dead cow isn't going to bother them

[Nogitsune]

Is there a chance for adding missing statues before next update?

Well. The characters don't care if they see a skeleton.

Making certain corpses cause sanity drain leads to a variety of annoying inconsistencies.

Characters will cause sanity drain on hound or koalaphant corpses, but not on skeletons. If skeleton causes sanity drain, WX-78 will mock it and cause sanity drain, but will mourn burned structure but not cause sanity drain. Wormwood loses sanity on the death of plants, but dead plants do not cause sanity drain. Such as Spiderhat for Webber and Merm Head for Wurt, similar so many issues occur simultaneously.

I don't know if it was suggested before by anyone, but already made a post about it a long time ago which now seems far more relevant

 

I suggest we introduce some kind of device, similar to a lightning rod, that will attract moonstorms so that they don't happen everywhere on the map, but only in the designated area that you chose. This would make farming moonstorms far easier and it would nullify the threat of burning down anything in a random place at random time. This device could be made expensive for those who want this luxury, also it could have durability so that you would need to constantly repair it because moonstorms damage it for example

 

I think this is an extremely nice QoL, especially now after the electrification changes

Previously they would make it take longer for fires to spread, now it prevents spread completely!

Most players care deeply about base aesthetics

I think basically every megabaser cares about base aesthetic.

The average player certainly doesn't care though. They just care about the base being somewhat functional.

The heavily enfranchised players that don't megabase are the ones that I don't know. I guess it will be more varied there.

Anyways, megabasers are the minority, so most people definitely don't care about it.

Not saying that the complaint about "good turf is ugly" is invalid though, it's a perfectly valid complaint, I'm just saying that we shouldn't assume that every player cares about that because... Really, most people don't.

They do have an insanity aura, always did, even since DS, it's just not detected in DST due to them having the NOCLICK tag here.

They're not the only entity affected by this either, I'll make a fresh report on it since I reported it a while back.

I'm very confused by the confident assumption being made that this scaled flooring change was a direct response to moon gleams burning plant mobs, it does not even have anything to do with that and I don't think it would even prevent it from happening. There was a discussion here on the forums very recently about how unintuitive scaled flooring is, because it would previously just increase resistance to fire, meaning it just took slightly longer for things to catch on fire, rather than making things immune to fire like one would expect. This was almost definitely just a response to that, along with years of complaints about scaled flooring being kind of pointless.

It did not prevent fire spread if you had enough fire sources to overpower the resistance, which doesn't happen often. It counted on the fires burning out before the objects could start smoldering, while giving a bit more time to respond to it.

The change is an add-on that prevents fires on it from contributing to spread to prevent the above screenshot situation.

In fact, it's not that simple. The so-called "Scaled Flooring will now completely prevent fire spreading from a burning entity" actually just means it prevents ignition within the area covered by Scaled Flooring. So in reality, if something is burning outside the Scaled Flooring, it can still ignite objects inside the area.

This means that if you want to truly keep your crops safe, you might need to place an additional layer of flooring around your plot—just like I’ve shown in my screenshot.

Klei, please fix this to actually prevent fire spreading to anything you "put on top". This spec as posted is clearly not intuitive spec.

This is how it works now as of 682257.

Things on top of scaled flooring that receive fire propagation multiply the received values by 0, rather than fires on scaled flooring not propagating.

I'm sorry. I've confirmed that this is how it works here too. Objects on Scaled flooring never receive fire.

Spoiler

I crafted  saplings as a test, I found it can play animation characters even not WormWood. Oof that was cursed!

Does this mean if a grass gecko or any other plant related mob gets electrocuted on top of the scaled flooring, it won't get ignited? Or would the fire from one simply not spread to the rest of the herd? 

This still doesn't solve the issue with moon gleams and grass gecko worlds. They can't expect us to turf entire biomes that inhabit wild grass geckos with scaled flooring in order to protect them from possible moonstorms landing on them and wiping entire herds out of existence, with no alternative to grass sources (no renewable geckos or grass tufts).

It will prevent smoldering and spread fire, but it will not prevent igniting plant mobs caused by electrocution.

So this doesn't even solve the problem with lureplant farms and grass geckos. If a moon gleam flies and lingers over the area, it will just proceed to zap different entities because of its erratic movement and consistent attack output. So while one entity won't spread fire to another, they will still eventually ignite individually and burn anyway.

Klei, this is unacceptable, there should be a setting to disable fire ignition from electric damage in the settings, period. Or just reconsider the whole mechanic all together. It's not fun.

Does this prevent wildfires? Like, if you have a bunch of grass on top of scaled turf, will it never smolder from summer wildfires?
