New item! Urth Blocks

Heya!

So, we have made some changes to blocks and bricks in the game. We are replacing AA Earth Blocks with Urth Blocks, as well as exchanging A, AAA and Bricks with Urth blocks. 

What about these Urth Blocks?

Its stack size will be 10
A and AAA Earth Blocks will be replaced with 1 Urth Block
Each Brick will be replaced with 2 Urth Blocks
The Blockmaker will now be used only to make Urthblocks
Also, the Block Party quest will be updated to account for this change as well by requiring 3 Urth Blocks rather than one of each of the old kind.

That's it!

  • Are they supposed to already be swapped out? Mine are still A/AA/AAA/Bricks.

  • Cannot find them yet.

  • Yay! I was fretting, today in fact, about whether the old blocks would have a purpose in the brave new Urth.

  • Yay Urth blocks! *strokes*

  • Many of my blocks have been transposed into Urth blocks, but not all.  There are still numerous AAA blocks.  All blocks are piled all together.  I sorted through some of them, then just replaced them.  Should I just wait?  Or?

  • Perfect.

  • What will these be for, anyway?
    Posted 9 months ago by I Love You TS Subscriber! | Permalink
  • cool
    Posted 9 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • All seem to be converted except AAA
    Posted 9 months ago by Red Sauce Subscriber! | Permalink
  • There are still numerous AAA blocks.  

    If you put them in your pack and back down, they probably will change to Urth Blocks. But I have seen what you are seeing as well.

  • Not ingame at the moment.  Anyone have the recipe for these new blocks. :)
    Posted 9 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hi TomC - I suspect that might have been a typo... I'm assuming kevbob means "A to AAA Earth Blocks will be replaced with 1 Urth Block"
    Posted 9 months ago by Snazzlefrazz Subscriber! | Permalink
  • that's it.  THAT'S IT?   What do you mean "that's it." - ?!?   What will they be for?    Tell us just a little more!  This being kept completely in the dark s---- sucks.

  • I can only assume Meat Bricks are right around the corner. Right? Right?

  • I didn't notice any New Item bonuses when I made some just now.  Should I have?
    Posted 9 months ago by E D D I E Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah Snazzlefrazz, I just noticed the text regarding AA Blocks changing into Urth Blocks, my bad.

    Sys Rq, possibly not if you've made AA Blocks in the past.
    Posted 9 months ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am seeing the same thing as others mention here. All blocks have converted to Urth blocks at 1:1, even the bricks, except for AAA which remain themselves even when dropped/picked up. 

    I have to say I am happy to see the multiple block types go! All hail the one true block, the Urth block!

  • I have a problem which I am about to report, but wanted to mention here. I have/ had a bag of AA and AAA and a second bag of A and bricks. I went to my attic to drag them down and see if they converted. I had two empty spaces for the bags
     
    I dragged the two bags to my inventory and both disappeared.

    I just found a third bag titled bricks and blocks. that disappeared too. not sure how much of what was in that, but the other two bags were half and half.

  • +1 to Meat Bricks!  (I know I've been hoarding meat for a good reason ;)
    Posted 9 months ago by Tribeca Subscriber! | Permalink
  • What am I supposed to do with my hoarded fireflies and peat now?  I can only make so many fuel cells and I have TONS of crystals already.  Will other uses for these resources be coming soon?
    Posted 9 months ago by Awesomasaurus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The same has happened to me, Bored. I had two bags of each type, but I can only find one bag of bricks, which has converted at 1:1, two bags of AAA, which have both not converted, two bags of A, which have both converted at 1:1, but one bag of AA is missing and one bag is still there but only contains one AA block.
    Posted 9 months ago by Oristia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • not just those bags. I was moving the two bags I had dropped out of the way to look for the missing bags and they too disappeared. they were empty, but it's like there is a black hole in my new house.

  • The Glitch Wiki already has the recipe for the new block.  So much simpler.

    Glad I never made many of the old blocks.  The ones for the quests and maybe a couple of others.

  • Oh oh, my bags are disappearing too!  There are empty slots showing but says my inventory is full...
    Posted 9 months ago by Cabinwood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I just picked up a bigger bag that had been filled with earth blocks and loam and it disappeared.  I am not going to pick up any more bags containing these items until... later.  I hope there's a way to recover the lost bag(s) of stuff....
    Posted 9 months ago by Eleanor Rigby Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My bags are disappearing too - 2 of them - tried dragging them into my inventory and they both went missing!
    Posted 9 months ago by Jojo Bloom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • As Cabinwood said above, the inventory slots where the bags would have gone appear to be full, but they're visually empty and don't respond to clicking... but you cannot put anything else in those slots.

  • Folks, for problems with this, please send us a bug report (click the bug icon if you are in the game already or use the help form if you have left the game) with as many details as you can, we are working on it now!
    Posted 9 months ago by kevbob Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Bug report sent, and update applied -- I started picking up RKs to fill the other empty inventory slots and suddenly the bag of blocks reappeared!  But unfortunately, it appeared in inventory slot #1, where I had a different bag full of minerals.  Slot #2 is still "empty looking but filled with something" so maybe my bag of minerals went there instead.
    Posted 9 months ago by Eleanor Rigby Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am also unable to drop this newly-visible bag of blocks, and get a message about the itemstack being not found.  I am posting here so others know, and have updated my bug report with the error message when trying to drop that bag.
    Posted 9 months ago by Eleanor Rigby Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I hope none of my bags have disappeared. I really wouldn't be able to tell.
    Posted 9 months ago by Palindrome Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Meat Bricks? And hopefully then the next logical step is a Meat Dress
    Posted 9 months ago by Snazzlefrazz Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I dread to think of what's after Meat Dress. Meat Curtains?
