i had the most irritating bug.

when i imported minecraft builds with ladders in them, the ladders would all be backwards (facing the wrong wall). whenever i fixed it, it would cause builds with stairs in them to import the stairs backwards. fixing backwards stairs would re-break ladders.

so the problem is: minecraft and vintage story disagree on what an "east-facing ladder" means, but they do agree on what "east-facing stairs" are. so i have to explicitly flip ladders around in the code.

there's nothing wrong with either game's interpretation of "x-facing ladder", but it's annoying that they disagree.

in vintage story, torches are blocks* that can be floor- or wall-mounted. they last for 48 hours. they store how many hours they have left, and also the last time the game checked how long they've got remaining. the time remaining is stored in fractions of a day, which i'm sure my french followers are happy to hear.

unfortunately, if you create a build with torches in it, export it, fast forward time more than 48 hours, then import that build, the torches will instantly be extinguished.

meanwhile, in minecraft, torch blocks* last forever.

i don't know if this will work, but i'm gonna try exporting minecraft torches as having 999 billion hours remaining.

*almost everything in both games is "a block", regardless of whether or not it's block shaped

time of day in decimal units

i haven't played minecraft in a really long time, so i'm learning all sorts of new things.

you can put cobblestone in a furnace to get stone. everyone knows this. i got into the habit of calling stone "cooked stone" because of this.

it turns out you can now put stone in a furnace to make smooth stone. they have added cooked cooked stone.

deep fried stone? baked stone? sous vided stone?
