Thrivestream for 0.7.1 Release

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Q1: As the next version is going to be 0.8.0, do you plan to start working on terrain and/or planet generation already or later into this release cycle?

Q2: How many releases do you think will 0.8.X cycle take to complete?

[NNAC (Unobtainum)]

1. With the astounding speed that 0.7.X was done in is there anything you worry that’s been missed?

2. What thing are you most excited to get started with from 0.8.X?

[aaaaaaaaa]

1. with 0.7 nearly done so soon, how long can we expect to see the planet generation?
2. will black holes be added and if so how?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

1. How do you guys plan to handle events? Not all events work like the great oxygenation. a lot of things happen on different time scales, like solar flares vs the orbit of a planet vs the gradual slowing of planetary rotation due to a moon.
2. I see the thrive modding tools being really underutilized. If the modding setup is very future-proof, would any sort of rework be in the cards or do you feel under-utilization of the modding tools is not their fault? If not, do you plan to update them manually or fully upgrade them?

[tabat (hhyyrylainen cultist. Waiting for ping from someone.)]

1. I heard that god… ahem I mean hhyyrylainen is planning update to Thrive Official Website, so this will be more like utilitarian update (in the spirit of adding links to resources/removing abandoned ones) or something else?
2. Are Revolutionary Games logo is iceberg?

[CAS96 (The Big HOO)]

1. What was everyone’s favorite thing that was either completed or worked on for this update?

2. How do y’all feel about the current progress of development that Thrive is making?
