That was a bug? I blamed my children!

It would be nice to have is as an option. But just both sides, why not if it possible?

It was a bit too funny watching that speed runner yesterday having to keep fixing his belts. thanks for that fix.

Does it matter which kind of bug you gave the blame?

Re: the "player/character" change in 0.17.35:

The Wiki goes into detail about the difference between "player" and "character" in the game, and states (emphasis added):

The character's main inventory has 80 slots...

So then why do we get the message in-game that says (emphasis added):

Cannot insert [x]. Player's inventory full.

Just looking for consistency when the devs are being nitpicky about this. Imagine what new players trying earnestly to learn the game (or even mod it) think.

"player's inventory is full" is used regardless of the player's controller. As the wiki page that you linked describes, the controller is part of the player, so the message is correct. "player's controller's inventory is full" would be more accurate, but it would be confusing to anyone who doesn't know the internals of the game, which are the large majority of the players.

In general, locale has to be understandable, which means avoiding internal terms such as "entity" or "controller". The Lua API has the complete opposite aim, it wants to be as close to the internal terms as possible. So there will be, and already is, difference in naming.

"player's inventory is full"

In all honesty "player" is also a technical term and it should probably be "Your inventory is full.", or for a role-play like in-character perspective "My inventory is full.". And when you're inserting into other people in multiplayer "<player_name>'s inventor is full.

Wow, more convoluted language to explain something that is already convoluted. It's ok, *wink wink*, I'll play along.

You don't appear to be able to tell the difference between natural human languages and computer code. I would get that looked at.

Actually, I can. I was a programmer, and have written mods for games in Lua. What I'm doing is making fun of the devs trying to fix something so trivial that should've been fixed like in 0.9, when they had a lot smaller user base. Anyway, I'm done. It's their game, they can call things whatever they want.

Oh. So not stupid, then, just bloody-minded. Sorry, I find those hard to tell apart in a text-based medium sometimes.
