But I'm also sold on not having it at this point. I wish that it was as easy as a few months of development. I'd LOVE to have multiplayer in the game. Honestly, I could go on and on about this. But I can say it's hard to imagine ever making it a priority considering the difficulty level of doing it well. I can't completely rule out the possibility for adding multiplayer to the game someday.
#Tile miner updates code
At this point the multiplayer code is mostly gone from the game. It more than doubled development time and I opted for finishing the game sooner rather than completing multiplayer. The problem is that this kind of issue appears constantly throughout development. If we both open a chest and grab an item at the same time, who gets the item? Do we both appear to get the item and then when the server tells us who actually got it first the game will remove the item from the player who didn't get it? Do we wait to give anyone the item until the server confirms you got it first? There are many possible ways of dealing with this issue and at one point we had some sort of solution for it. Take chests for just one of many examples. One year of additional development and nobody even played:) Multiplayer seems easy, but to do it well is complicated. To give you a quick summary though, it doubled development time and after one year of having multiplayer in an early access version of the game we didn't hear of one single person playing it. You can read the lengthy bad news post here. I hope this post helps anyone looking at tackling this particular type of tile and concrete removal.Multiplayer is out. Yes, I took some Aleve before I went to bed and when I woke up this morning, but this job could’ve been MUCH worse than it was. We still have quite a bit more demo work to do in here, a couple of walls to remove, my Hubby’s vanity, the toilet and shower not to mention the baseboards and door trim, but we feel pretty good about saving money by doing much of the demo work ourselves. BTW all of that dust you see is not from my lack of cleaning, it’s the concrete dust from the demo… trust me you do not want this stuff in your nose or throat so please wear protection. We will need to remove the toilet prior to removing the floor, but that shouldn’t be a problem. We originally thought we would still use this area, but decided against it at the last minute. We’re not 100% done though as we still need to remove the flooring from the water closet / shower area. A nice clean sub floor that was still in good shape thanks to the tar paper and lack of screws holding down the lath. After 5 hours of work we ended up with this. I did most of the removal while my Hubby had the backbreaking chore of lugging all of the debris down to the garage. Using the hammer drill (with the spade bit attached) we removed all of the tile (which I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to remove), then we separated the concrete from the lath by inserting the spade bit between the two layers, then we pulled up the lath which was held in place with staples (instead of screws which you would most likely see in older homes), then pulled up the tar paper which was also stapled down. We found that removing the floor in layers was the easiest and fastest way to go: Also, you MUST wear eye protection and a face mask, I would also recommend earplugs and something to cover your hair as well… did I mention how dirty this job was?
We used our hammer drill with the spade bit attached for the entire job, I would HIGHLY recommend this tool as it made removing all of these layers a ton easier. Starting with the base there is OSB, tar paper, metal lath, concrete, mortar then tile. We had already started some updates like wallpaper removal you can checkout here.Īfter removing my vanity we discovered that the floor tile was set in a bed of concrete and lath and it was roughly 1.5” thick… that’s a LOT of concrete and mainly why we didn’t want to tackle this ourselves. I’m not going to sugar coat this for you… this is a sucky, messy job, but totally a DIY one if you’re willing…Īgain, this is what the bathroom looked like just before we moved in. I had every intention of hiring the contactor to do this, but the feedback I was getting for the costs were more than I was willing to spend on demo. This weekend we decided to tackle removing the tile floor from the bathroom. You might remember that we are in the beginning stages of a remodel of our master bathroom and closet.
