I never saw that particular issue, unless it is lag. Dirt, sand, and gravel can move in Freeminer, so try building on a solid foundation of stone. Of course, you can also live underground, as you can go very, very deep. For the time being, making sure that the weather checkbox is unchecked is a good idea. Unchecking the real liquid checkbox might help too. Did you try all three of the mapgens that come with the game? How about one of the servers?

 

If those options fail you, try Minetest instead (what Freeminer was forked from.) When version 0.4.10 comes out, there will be a couple of new :D subgames for it, in addition to the default :( one (I advise going with the new :D subgames, as the default :( one can be boring without mods.) To find the latest development version of Minetest for Windows, follow the following link:

https://forum.minete...ewforum.php?f=3

Seek the latest development version by either Fess, sfan5, or BlockMen (as of now, they all provide 64-bit builds.) For OS X users, check out Morn76's development builds. For people that use Linux and Ubuntu distros, there are scripts that make Minetest builds for them in the forums.

 

Concerning the new subgames, below are links to two of them:

https://forum.minete...php?f=15&t=9066-Minetest NeXt

https://forum.minete...php?f=15&t=9033-Carbone

Please, kindly try them out and post what you think of them here (or in the Minetest forums.) Most mods should be compatible with them. On an interesting note, these two subgames also work in Freeminer, so choose them if you don't want to have to deal with flowing dirt/sand/gravel (I :shiver: sure :shiver: don't.) To use them, put them in the games folder and select one of them when starting a new game.

I recently found out that Freeminer works much better in Linux than in Windows. For anyone that has Linux and is interested, here is a link to Freeminer's source code:

https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer

Remember. the compiling instructions are below.

 

For the time being, Windows users would do better with Minetest. Links to 64-bit builds of it are below:

https://forum.minete...php?f=42&t=6727-BlockMen's Windows Builds

https://forum.minete...php?f=42&t=6745-Fess's Windows Builds

https://forum.minete...php?f=42&t=1523-Sfan5's Windows Builds

Look towards the topics' ends to find the most recent builds.

 

The base game of Minetest has improved, by the way...

 

As for Freeminer, it now has the following mapgen in it (and a minimap:)

If exotic sky realms and cave realms be thrice as nice to you (and I mean ones that go very high up (sky realms) and very far down (cave realms) while being in the exact same world as the main overworld (remember, 30,000 blocks up and 30,000 blocks down,)) then the two mods below have what you desire:

The following two YouTube videos show what Minetest is truly capable of:

http://youtu.be/RKYeRSTN51Y-With the Carbone sub-game and VanessaE's plantlife modpack, you can have beautiful scenery like this too.

http://youtu.be/wbKUxf50VRM-This video is in German, but it shows off the homedecor and unified_inventory mods quite well.

There is also a new server for Minetest that I think everyone here will like:

https://forum.minete...hp?f=10&t=10539-Just Test Server, because people like having their tongues moistened, not flooded.

So, is there anything that anybody wishes to discuss concerning the videos above and the Just Test Server?

 

I have some good news for you guys; there will be a new stable build of Freeminer for Windows soon. Look at the topic linked to below to find out more:

http://forum.freemin....160/#post-1878

 

The following topic in the forums of Minetest compares it to Minecraft:

https://forum.minete....php?f=3&t=9172

Give it a good read sometime, since Freeminer is a fork of Minetest.
