It makes so much sense.
(InB4MapsAreNeverComingBackHat ersFloodTopic)

thats how it works with all features. the more you cut, the less you have to worry about. removing vehicles and their physics makes it easier to work with player physics. you can rewrite systems to make them easier to work with. i've seen so many cases where indie developers scrap their engine because it was all poorly patched together. but, of course, they remade it to be better than before by adding new features while keeping, yet improving, the original ones.

people are going to complain and justly so. thats what happens when you remove things people have gotten used to. the developers say "its going to increase update speed" but people have yet to see anything more than "official" add-ons. if people are going to be satisfied, they are going to want to see their old features back, or at least a way to compensate.

a vehicle physics update would be nice. if you've played my tdm, you see how stuffty tanks work with the bricks and how planes can fly through cubes, jeeps can drive through walls, and tanks get stuck on 1x height slopes. of course. a way to loop a "brick terrain" would be cool as well, that way even if we don't use the whole thing, the map doesn't just awkwardly end with steep cliffs or infinite space.

players would like to at least hear about features like this possibly being added in. it would be nice if we saw the "true power" of terrain/interiors being cut

I agree with the first bold statement because even though we got the shader update, most all that's been coming out are bug fixes and add-ons. We have an amazing modding community. The developers need to focus on things that the community cannot do. (Engine updates, actual game updates)

would be nice if a better more improved version of terrain and interiors were put in

Fine, I take back my point.

But the bottom line is Badspot will not bring back terrain.

It's just you guys keep complaning and complaning. It's not your game, it's Badspot's. Don't like what he chooses, then don't play the game! Genius!

Why stay in a game where all you do is whine about features taken out. It defeats the purpose of games and entertainment. You're not playing the game, you're against it.
The only people I see complaining are new people.

This post is highly unhelpful. All you're doing is simplifying the motives as being "defeating" of the "purpose of games".

This post is highly unhelpful.
How? This game isn't a democracy after all. No matter what you say, you can't make Badspot add them back.

This is your second useless post. How is this relevant at all?

The community in no small part is responsible for the success of the game so far. What you've said is totally not the case at all and a terrible viewpoint to have.

He could if he wanted to.

I don't think he would do that, do you?

I do, and I hope he does.

I remember someone posting that Terrain & Interiors were removed because they stopped Blockland from updateing or whatever and that they MIGHT add them back in the Future. Big IF but there is a possibility.

It is really strange that he's mostly been working on add-ons. (Although he did do a bit of work with bots)

Probably because he has more time to do stuff since terrain was hard to code.

You don't know that.
Probably because he has more time to do stuff since terrain was hard to code.
But what I'm saying is that he should be working on actual blockland updates, not add-ons. I mean, maybe he's sick of working on engine updates or something and wants a break. But ideally, he should work on things that the community can't (actual blockland engine update things)
