![]() There has been some effort to kind of restructure the engine. I'm inclined to avoid using Discord for discussion of long-term value, as content in Discord is locked behind an account, and not accessible to search engines or web archival bots. ![]() IMHO there should be a top-level forum header for "Playing Terasology" (or similar), and it may be a good idea to move the Modules section there (perhaps a "Module Development" section could be created in its place if a more developer-focused section is still needed. One piece of tangible advice I can give: add more gameplay-centric sections to the Terasology forum, for example a section for curated module collections, and a section for texture packs. I'm sure you've heard plenty of feedback already about the Terasology experience and I know these are not easy to solve. A scripting sandbox with limited capabilities. ![]() However, I will say that Minetest's client-server design is not suitable for any sort of advanced modding, but seems like it is suitable as a sort of, "web browser" for voxel games. I can't say much with regards to networking as I have not tried Terasology multiplayer. The Minecraft modding community is very much "anything goes" and there are a lot of modders who are very busy doing their own stuff and working independently from each other, so less friction is favorable there. But from my limited exploration (github wiki), it seems Terasology makes some similar mistakes to Minetest with regards to plugin loading and security. I think that Terasology has a better technical foundation than Minetest due to the choice of programming language, and I suspect that Terasology's engine is more future-proof (I worry about the future of the Irrlicht engine). I would say, at this time, I would not recommend Terasology to anyone, as far as gameplay goes. The only thing I liked better compared to anything Minetest was the terrain graphics, after I turned off some of the more ridiculously expensive graphics settings. The overall experience of Terasology + the game, from the performance, to the UI, to the game design, to the sound design, is just not good.
