Hi everyone. Sorry, I'm still not updating the news. I know there has been a lot of activity here but I've been busy on a number of other projects. I have the game fully exporting all blocks and block groups for the wiki (block groups are not available yet in the public build). Spend a minute exporting, copy/paste into the wiki and the blocks are done. IT'S FANTASTIC! I have plans for exporting many other things from the game, a great deal of the hard work is already done for that, I just need the time to finish it. | |||
While I've been busy some of you have been contributing. There are new modding guides, information about controls, items, tools and weapons, | |||
voxel hands, treasure maps, farming, building, structural integrity, and probably a few I'm missing. It's been a great month for the wiki. I've been trying to review new submissions when I can. In some cases they have to wait until the weekend but I'm caught up for now. | |||

Hi everyone. Sorry I've gone silent for so long. I know there has been some activity here while I've been gone and I'll write updates for all of it eventually. I'm not able to do daily updates right now because I'm spending my wiki-time on a project that ''should'' help with collecting information from the game. The first stage is almost complete and starting to produce reliable results. Just a little longer. [[User:CptTwinkie|~CptTwinkie]] | Hi everyone. Sorry I've gone silent for so long.

Hi everyone. Sorry, I'm still not updating the news. I know there has been a lot of activity here but I've been busy on a number of other projects. I have the game fully exporting all blocks and block groups for the wiki (block groups are not available yet in the public build). Spend a minute exporting, copy/paste into the wiki and the blocks are done. IT'S FANTASTIC! I have plans for exporting many other things from the game, a great deal of the hard work is already done for that, I just need the time to finish it.
While I've been busy some of you have been contributing. There are new modding guides, information about controls, items, tools and weapons, voxel hands, treasure maps, farming, building, structural integrity, and probably a few I'm missing. It's been a great month for the wiki. I've been trying to review new submissions when I can. In some cases they have to wait until the weekend but I'm caught up for now.

Hi everyone. Sorry I've gone silent for so long. I know there has been some activity here while I've been gone and I'll write updates for all of it eventually. I'm not able to do daily updates right now because I'm spending my wiki-time on a project that should help with collecting information from the game. The first stage is almost complete and starting to produce reliable results. Just a little longer. ~CptTwinkie
2017-08-10 Thumbnails
I added a new template for page thumbnails. This allows for cleaner code and changing the format of all thumbnails at the same time. ~CptTwinkie
2017-08-09 Claim Blocks
Thanks to a very complete contribution we now have pages for the claim blocks and taxes. ~CptTwinkie
2017-08-08 Flaming Seeds
Some minor updates to the seeds pages. I wrote a general seedbag description on the category page and transcluded it to the individual seedbag pages as something of a summary. I also added the inventory information. The torch page has been updated as well. ~CptTwinkie
Category:Tools/Seedbags
Herbal Plants Seeds
Wheat Seeds
Flax Seeds
Cabbage Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds

Loads more community contributions to finish these pages. Things are moving nicely :D ~CptTwinkie
2017-08-01 Resources, Battlements, Machicolations
Some nice community contributions to finish these pages including a new block group Category:Block_Group/Machicolation. ~CptTwinkie
2017-07-31 More Tools and Some Large Blocks
There are some more contributions from the community today. ~CptTwinkie
2017-07-29 Weekend Warriors
There were some user contributions today and I took the opportunity to re-categorize some pages. ~CptTwinkie
- User Contributions
Linen String
Pickaxe
- Updated Templates
- Template:Inventory
- Template:Inventory Item
- New Category
2017-07-28 Finished Tags
I finished up the tag categories today. I ran into a little trouble with the iron tag being used in the shelf inventory so I did a little work there to figure out how that works. Inventory whitelists are going to be kind of complicated because sometimes they use tags, sometimes they use block types, and sometimes they use type and subtype. ~CptTwinkie
- New Categories
- New Template
- Template:Tool/Seedbag
- Updated Page
Shelf
2017-07-27 Deer Head On a Plaque, Templates, and Tags
We got some user contributions today. One of them was a complete page! I added templates and categories for item tags. All of the items still need to have the tags added but I did 
Wooden Sticks and 
Scrap Wood Branches to test the template. ~CptTwinkie
- New Page
Deer Head On a Plaque
- New Templates

2017-07-20 New Thatch Roof Blocks Added
- Seven new thatch roof blocks were added in this week's update. ~CptTwinkie
2017-07-19 Food and Templates
I went on a bit of a marathon today that started with the food pages and didn't end until I'd updated nearly every template in the wiki. ~CptTwinkie
- New Templates
- Created from scratch to fill the needs of the food articles and anywhere else they will work.
| Template:No Image | Template:Crafting Ingredient |
- Renamed and repurposed templates
- The Template:Consumable Food didn't really meet the needs of the food. The two tool templates had to be reworked for the new tool system. It really is simpler than before and only requires one template.
| Template:Stat Effects | Template:Tool |
- Templates with Added Categories
- This started with a desire to cut down on the number of categories on each article and ended with adding parser functions to hide/show things conditionally. All template variables that default to information missing will now add Catagory:Missing_information tags when they have no data entered. Again, this cuts down on the number of category tags on articles.
- Pages Updated
- Finally, we get to the content. I went through the food using the new templates and managed to fill the stubs.
