  Version 0.5.0 Released

  This update brings a lot of new changes. I'll detail on the most interesting ones below, and at the bottom will list the full changelog.Wood automation!Wood has been the one annoying resource you weren't able to automate yet, despite being also one of the most needed ones. Luckily, this update rectifies this with a new treecutter module.It's been the plan for a long time that you'd automate getting wood by having your machines, well, chop trees, as how else would you do it? The issue with this is though, after chopping down the tree, where do you get a new one? Well, do we have the answer for that: magic!For a few patches now the tree growing spell, cast with one anima sigil, has been around. In this update, we also added a ritual room module, which allows casting spells from machines. The way it works is that, for each sigil there is a corresponding rune (or will be: currently only the anima rune is obtainable), which can be fed into the module with the EAT operation. Then, with the CAST operation, it casts whatever spell has the recipe of the runes/sigils in its inventory. The direction it fires in depends on the corner selected by the focus module (giving it a new use), where the default center direction (0 0) corresponds to firing at random angles.Combining resourcesAnother big addition is the combiner module, which, as the name suggests, allows combining two items into one. This adds a lot of new possibilities for the future, and even just today gives many new ways to produce old products.The MEGABRICK! created by combining 5 15x15x3 clay slabsYou'll also need it to produce the new anima rune, in order to start casting tree growing spells from your machines. To make it, you'll end up stamping the shape into clay, by combining both the clay and the stamp into one item.The SELECT operationWhile a few modules, such as input and output slots, worked fine when attaching multiple to a machine, most modules ended up either being useless or broken. Having undefined beh...

  Hotfix 0.4.2

  This update most interestingly brings changes to how pressing malleable items (e.g. clay, sand, etc.) works. It also adds some nice quality of life (paths, code warnings, categories) and enemy (corpses, new pathfinding) changes.Here's the full changelog:Changed way pressing malleable items works so less of the item is destroyed and more is just moved aroundChanged the way pressing elastic items workAdd waystone building (respawning at is still in progress)Add path decorPath finding changes to enemiesFix garnish removalFix ROM module being removed not taking slots from machineEnemies drop corpses on death (which in turn all drop 1 crystal at the moment)Make power points actually unbreakableMake building tooltips better in various placesLocalized editor errorsAdd editor warningsUpdated credits & added linksAdd categories to documentation and recipe viewer menusLocalized enemy note menu

  Hotfix 0.4.1

  This update mostly just fixes various bugs and typos, but also comes with a good number of changes to the tutorial and a change to how power works. Now, rather than your factory fully stopping on low power, it just slows down, proportional to the lack of power squared.Here's a full changelog:Added death screenAdded a lot more particles to indicate various thingsAdded "open saves folder" button Fix press state not savingAdded junk item, which you gain from picking up "useless" items, and which can be used for crafting various decor buildings (in the future) and the destroyer building at the momentFix garnishes not appearing on map/garnishes being over buildingsAdded arrow which points at some UI things during tutorialFix blue chunk border when loading into saveAdded tree spawning spell (earth + anima)Change how player movement works (noticeable change should be negligible)Added tooltips to stat labelsHave registers have a max valueMake numbers in editor a different color, for clarity of characters like 0->O, 5->S, etcUpdated tutorialChange fireball cost from 25 -> 5Fix typos and incorrect taggingAdded chest building for accepting items from belts into the player's inventoryThere are also some things which got silently updated between 0.4.0 and 0.4.1, which are listed here:Fixed press bugsFix enemies respawningFix shipper not accepting itemsFix enemy note UI not showing enemiesFix windows mouse sensitivityChanged drillbit module recipe

  Version 0.4.0 Released

  This update brings a lot of new content, bumping up the old 3 quests to a new total of 12, with a number of new buildings and resources. There is also a lot more information presented, so many things should hopefully be clearer (and clarity is still an ongoing goal we're working on as well.) Along with this, this is the first update to present both enemies and magic. In the coming 0.4.x updates we'll be rolling more to do with both of these things.ChangelogNew contentAdded melee and ranged enemies which spawn near power pointsAdded magic systemAdded a number of new quests and changed old questsAdded depth module which allows changing the depth at which operations work on itemsAdded drillbit module which allows changing the shape of drilling into an itemAdded DEFAULTS operation to reset a machine's parametersAdded wooden pallet for storing more items without picking them upAdded blank and target runesBiome changesChanges to how biomes are generatedAdded power point structures and crystal patch structures, which spawn around randomlyChanged noise algorithm to reduce lag spikes when moving between chunksUI changesChanged the color scheme on a number of UI elements to match each otherAdded highlights to a number of words, along with tooltips and links to a lot of them tooAdded a resource viewer which explains how to obtain each resource/productAdded enemy viewer which gives details on seen enemiesShow healthAdd icons next to stats in top right, and add backdrop to statsAdded ambient occlusion to item viewerMake any mention of keybinds update to reflect current keybinds in textShow garnish info on left side along with tile and building infoImproved button appearanceImproved main menu and loading screen appearanceAdded garnishes to mapMade clicking on minimap toggle mapMake code editor always focusedChanged any references of ticks to secondsSettings changesMade movement keys rebindableAdded settings for mouse sensitivity (used for rotating item in item view, panning map) ...
