Missing & Broken crafting recipes

[dispereo]

Hi,

once more I have troubles with the game. I am literally unable to progress with the unlock of items because:

- recipes are stuck in the "unlocked" animation. I.e. Limestone Pedestal. I crafted what I needed to unlock it. When I now try to unlock the pedestal recipe it does the fancy animation with the sound and flash and everything. But it doesn't unlock. No matter how often I click it, it's stuck right after that animation.

- recipes seem to be missing. I am unable to get past the Wood Gate, as the Stone Gate recipe, which is required to unlock other recipes is simply missing.

- I am unable to unlock anything with bamboo. In order to unlock anything, I need to collect "wild bamboo". Which I have done. With a gauntlet, without a gauntlet, as a drop. It just won't progress. According to the game I have never ever even seen bamboo. But it happily lets me turn it to seeds and grow it. It just won't acknowledge that I have it.

- How do I unlock molasses? All frozen creatures in Creativerse already feel rather violated. No matter if I kill them or if I force-feed them and stick my gauntlet into places where no gauntlet should ever go. No molasses coming out.

Do I need to wait for a bugfix or is there something I can do?

Thanks.

This is driving me crazy. I definitely checked the filters and it wasn't there, even typed it out to make sure I am not blind. Now checked again... it's there. Thanks.

I wonder what I am doing wrong, clearly I am too stupid to use that interface.

Right... bed time... sorry for the bother! :D Thanks again!

OK, maybe... just maybe... I have a whole different problem... just removed a Window... suddenly a whole chunk became invisible.

Maybe I have been playing too long. :D

lol, it makes a difference whether or not you are in creative mode too. I looks like you got some lag, the whole picture is not captured right.
If you manage your screen shots on steam, it makes them easier to share here.

That's a weird rare glitch which exists since a long time and which we couldn't nail down yet.

It should be enough to just place / pull (or even just "tickle" a block without fully pulling it) to trigger the rendering of that chunk and fix the problem.

If you keep having the same problem consistently in the very same spot you may be hitting a variant of such a glitch which could be sorted out in another way, but for that it's probably better if you contact me directly on Discord (entuland#7134) so that I can visit the area and see the problem first hand - if you can't put your world online to be joined from outside your LAN there's anothe way to investigate it, but we'll tackle that privately if needed.

I am beginning to think I may over overstretched it a bit yesterday. I had the game running for hours on end, inbetween after feeding "the monsters" with my 2yo we went AFK and the screensaver went on on multiple occasions and I kept coming and going with all running in the background. It's the first time I had this issue and I also think I found that block yesterday after I restarted the game. Because I actually entered the name of the block and checked for all the filters and still couldn't find it.
I don't have the latest machine but certainly not the weakest one, but I still might have just overdone it a bit. Closed the game and today no issues whatsoever. Maybe a memory leak after a while? Who knows.

I also noticed that the game starts lagging considerably, when I craft things and has micro-freezes throughout (i.e. when the crafting animations start, no matter if crafting fast or slow or batches, when starting to glide, when running and jumping at the same time and quickly build a row of blocks). But I have the feeling it appears more when the game has been running for a while. Anyway, not a major issue. I'll try to see if I can reproduce a couple of things. I am already quite happy that my chunk came back (I restarted though, no block tickling, hehe). :-) Nothing broke as such and none of it is a deal breaker.

As an early supporter it's quite nice to see how far the game has come.

The problem of the freezing when crafting is most likely due to the amount of visible icons in the list.

If you filter for the thing you want to craft, or use the option to autocollapse the categories, the freezing should become far less noticeable or go away completely.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do for such a specific case, the user interface plugin we use just happens to be slow when there are a lot of icons in the same list - the above two approaches could work it around.

The game causing troubles when kept running for a long amount of time could very well be, it may be a good idea to leave and enter the world when you start noticing unusual behaviors after having played for a long time.

I am also having trouble unlocking recipes. For example, I have harvested wild bamboo in survival, planted it, harvested that, and couldn't get the bungalow walls to unlock. So I placed wild and normal bamboos in creative mode, picked them up in survival mode, and the recipe still did not unlock. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but its pretty frustrating.

[Granny Annie]

btw the /give bamboo chat command does not unlock the bungalow wall recipe for me, it just gives me one bamboo.

[Nathanese]

You have to put the right bamboo out of creative mode in a chest, change to normal mode and take the bamboo out of the chest. That should unlock the wall. If you place it in the World you will always get the "wrong" bamboo back. The bamboo you got via the chat is working probably too ... if you put it in a chest and take it back in your Inventar.

[Granny Annie]

Thanks franben, I put wild bamboo in a chest in creative, took it out in survival and it unlocked both the bungalow wall and bungalow torches for me. Little disappointed to see the recipe now uses two wild bamboo for a batch of bungalow wall blocks, as wild bamboo isn't that common, but hey, at least it's unlocked. Good karma to you for the help.

[Nathanese]

Good karma is always nice - thank you

I noticed "Wood Slope Roof" is missing... among others

Almost all the roofs / slopes are now made in the processor out of the corresponding "full cube" versions, which we added in TDE. You need to first unlock / craft the Wood Roof, then you process the slanted versions out of it: https://i.imgur.com/RnXcP5Q.png

The only slope-like blocks which are still crafted in the backpack are the Galactic Striped Wall Slope and the Galactic Pipes.

The same goes for the majority of the stairs as well - the basic tier ones (wood, stone, obsidian, iron, diamond, lumite) and the main themed ones (bungalow, haunted, medieval, hidden temple, industrial, galactic) are crafted, but all the others are processed from full cubic blocks.

Again.. sorry...

Right... got it now... it's just so confusing with all the changes in making blocks and the recipes changing... I'm sure to some it makes sense, but it's just odd to me.

I use to just look them up on the Creativerse Wiki ( so nice, so handy ) and when I asked if anyone was going to change / update it I got a rude reply from one of the players here...

But I'm muddling through...

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

For what it's worth, you can launch a world, go to the Webadmin (icon "user with shield" in the world editing page when running a local world), then go over to Tools > Reference and search for any block / item there, the reference is quite technical but you should still be able to figure out how to unlock / obtain most of the things from there.

As for the Wiki, if you have any information to add to it and you believe you can do following the guidelines of Wiki editing, you're free to contribute.

As for any problem you may have with any other player posting in these forums the correct way to handle that is to report the offending posts using the Steam report button on the relevant post.
