plant any plans for underwater stuff like anything at all gameplay, no plans no plans for underwater stuff, one of the reasons is, again so like with a lot of game stuff if you offer a specific feature you need to support it and you need to justify its existence right, and right now if we offer any underwater stuff we then need to support underwater stuff which means we need to craft an entire world for underwater stuff and I don't know if you've noticed but we haven't even finished crafting the main world yet so, saying that we're gonna do more underwater stuff would likely require that kind of work and so we're just kind of not touching it right now yeah so there's no plans for it at this stage as far as I know
