If you search your mobile device's file system for the Minetest/Luanti's folder, there should be a text file named "debug.txt" (without quotes) somewhere. This file generates when you launch Luanti and unless you configured otherwise, it logs all the warnings and errors while the engine is running, so it should have what happened before the crash registered. And if that doesn't work, try using Android Debug Bridge (adb) to capture real-time debug output, which should register how the crash is happening and give you some text to copy and show the devs. I don't know how to help with the crash (or how to use adb), but I have a feeling there's a communication issue here and I'm hoping this helps you understand how to get the information the developers need in order to help you.

Ok, here's a "miner" update: I've been sick, so not very productive. (Kind of just making this to feel useful, honestly.) Catgirl, on the other hand, has managed to make a rudimentary cellular automata tool, and tested it with a simple gaseous diffusion simulation. It's too jank to be worth sharing right now, but is very promising. It seems like her and proller are planning to cut Lua scripting/tables out for performance, & store all of the cell entries in some kind of distributed database. This might mean servers could perform *better* than single-player? Idk. 🤷 As for me: sometime in the next week or two, I should have some "vision docs" ready, which will hopefully break all of the design work into tasks that can be done by 1-10 people. They'll mostly be fun, like "figure out how many flowers we need." (Although not quite that specific.) Once we have some people who want to help design the game-play, I'll start handing them out. (Got one or two people already, but may want more.) In light of discord's decision to jump off the deep end, I'll probably be organizing that on Zulip, which is a FOSS tool for organizations to coordinate with. Once we're at work, I'll mostly use this thread for updates. Statistics: Posted by Wranglyph — Wed Feb 11, 2026 19:26 * * *

This is certainly doable to some degree (no pun intended). My game server makes extensive use of weather and temperature based survival, including a "Temp Felt" HUD and even a vignette overlay to give a visceral indication of temperature extremes. https://github.com/sorcerykid/survival? ... me-ov-file Players must still be selective when venturing out in the cold (to avoid frostbite) or when mining in lava caves (so as not to get heatstroke) by wearing armor with suitable insulation and conduction properties. Similarly wielding a torch will give a warming sensation while holding an ice cube will result in a cooling effect. While the game mechanic on my server isn't quite as elaborate as you described (i.e. heat being confined to a specific room) it nevertheless does account for radiation sources. That is, a node can propogate heat radially or on contact, or even both (such as a furnace which will burn you when touched, but provide moderate warmth from a distance). This is accomplished by use of my Axon framework: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24721 Of course, in my case I'm focused on optimizing for server performance (network, CPU, etc.) rather than ultra-realism. But since your game is most likely intended for single-player on a local machine, you probably won't have those same constraints. I would be interested in seeing what direction you plan to take with your project! Statistics: Posted by sorcerykid — Wed Feb 11, 2026 17:29 * * *

You're right! i've tested grass elsewhere in that world and it was not grey. Thanks! Glad to hear the issue is being looked into (and that I can use texture packs). And don't worry about having added the Gardens "too soon". Most players like to create new worlds when new world generation features are added to an update and wouldn't have come across one such issue. As for having the biome show up in an old world like this... Part of me thinks this is really convenient (because the visit all biomes achievement). Is there a way to check what biome I'm currently in? Either with commands or an external map viewer? Minecraft showed that in the F5 debug (iirc), but Luanti doesn't and the biome related commands I found with "/help" seemed to be cheat commands instead of informational ones (/listbiomes just gives a full list and requires debug priv and last time i tried to use /findbiome it teleported the player instead of printing coordinates/directions). One last thing: Cactus Flowers won't drop if the cactus was destroyed by pistons (or by having a block placed near the cactus, like the dirt block in the screenshot). They droped normaly with all my other tests (mine cactus by hand/axe, remove supporting block by hand/tool, push supporting block with piston, mine it and retract piston) ps. Thanks for everything!

Hello and welcome to the forum :)<br><br>Information about players is kept inside a database, SQLite format by default, so <span style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font:0.9em Monaco,'Andale Mono','Courier New',Courier,mono;border:1px solid #d8d8d8">players.sqlite</span>.

Zoonami 1.3.2 has been released. This was mostly to address a bug that was reported with the monster spawner and mystery egg nodes which crashes the game. It also includes the translation support I have worked on, but no translations have been contributed so it's not very useful currently. The format for abbreviated monsters stats was changed to no longer use words or abbreviated words. Instead it uses symbols and text coloring for the health and energy stats. Abbreviated stats are when a monster is shown on a button, like in the battle party menu.<br><br>As always, if you find any bugs, please make sure to report them.

So well I was experimenting with my mod again, wnd this time i separated underground_snowy_grassland and all its decorations into another file, but now I had another problem, when i said that underground_snowy_grassland loads earlier than underground_grassland, this biome gets covered in new_biomes:gdws rather than new_biomes:gdwg, so i suspect whichever biome loads first overrides the other's decorations for some reason, btw the node_stone for both these biomes is new_biomes:glowing_dirt only.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=34852">Midnight</a> — Thu Feb 05, 2026 01:56</p><hr />

Thank you for testing.<br><span style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font:0.9em Monaco,'Andale Mono','Courier New',Courier,mono;border:1px solid #d8d8d8">glLineWidth</span> with thickness 2 very likely originates from drawing the pointed node outline (setting <span style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font:0.9em Monaco,'Andale Mono','Courier New',Courier,mono;border:1px solid #d8d8d8">selectionbox_width</span>).
