Builder's Dream MAJOR Update 📐✨

Meowllo! It's been a while!! Because we couldn't make any hotfix patches while swapping out with our fancy new Builder's Kit.

There's a lot of new features of quality of life things to go through, so let's just go straight into it. More GIFs, less yapping from me. Yippe!!


[h2]🔖 UI[/h2]

• Ability to search for items
  
• Categories with pages...and the pages save! If you're on page 3 while exiting, you will come back to page 3
  
• Ability to favorite items to easily access them through your favorites tab
  
• Shows how many you own and how many you are able to craft
  
• Like all of Snacko's UI, the new Builder's Kit catalog also has a dark mode.
  

[h2]✨ New Features[/h2]

• Multi-select same buildables to mass dye
  
• Able to preview dyes and dyes are now shown as swatches in the dye menu
  
• When you switch dye colors, it will refund your previous dye
  

• Multi-select items while holding down a key + hovering over them to move, adjust, or put away
  
• You can now select foliage that you've planted, like trees or flowers, to move them
  
• When pressing down on your middle mouse button or clicking in your controller's right stick while hovering a buildable, it'll let you place that buildable (eyedropper tool)
  

• You can now craft directly while placing things in build mode. It'll show you how many materials you have and how many you need
  
• It'll read your items from your rucksack, storage containers, and your overflow storage as well
  

• You can now place buildables anywhere, including out of bounds, in other maps, and inside NPC houses
  

• Buildables no longer have collision restrictions. You can now put objects as close together as you like, or clip them together using the new "Nudge" feature
  
• "Locking" an item puts you into nudge mode. While nudging, you can raise or lower objects, as well as shift them around
  
• You can use this to clip objects into each other or float them
  

• Buildables placed on top of each other will now get parented properly
  
• Selecting a buildable will highlight and select any buildables on it
  

• You can combine this with nudge to easily parent buildables to a foundation to make moving your creations around easier
  

• When moving multiple objects, they will try to snap to surfaces
  
• Locking while moving will snap them to the first selected buildable's height
  

• Fences now preview the connection while moving or placing
  
• Fences can now slant their connection for slopes or platforms
  

• You can undo and redo actions: place, put away, move, and dye
  
• The undo and redo queue is saved and only refreshed when you change the map, reload, or place a required buildable for a quest
  
• You can turn on screenshot mode and use this as a way to record a timelapse of your builds!
  

[h2]🖼️ New Quests[/h2]

• Paintings have been removed as chest items in the overworld and replaced with materials
  
• You can now obtain paintings through quests, starting with Catching a Glimpse, available after Charity Work and MSQ Follow the Sign
  
• Completing these quests will also teach you the crafting recipe for them, allowing you to place them as decorations after donating one to the Cultural Center
  
• The new quests also contain side story content
  
• 6 quests added: Catching a Glimpse, Painting Jumpscare, Doppelganger, Frame of Time, Path of the Pious, and Artistic Surprise
  

[h2]📬 Quest Changes[/h2]

• Quests that ask you to invite all villagers or shopkeepers of a certain type have been re-parented to quests that are later in the game to prevent them from showing up too early
  
• If you had them accepted but not completed, they'll be returned to the board or unavailable until you complete all the prerequisites
  
• Tutorial days now properly teaches players how to claim quest rewards
  
• Small Workbench has been moved to D.I.Why and taken out of tutorial days
  

[h2]🔭 Visual Changes[/h2]

• New grass texture
  
• Added cloud shadows to the world
  
• Changed "Block" type buildables to have a subtle texture
  

[h2]🐛 Fixes & Balance[/h2]

• Floating ominous orb in the title screen by Mikan's house now gone
  
• Flowers now drop 1 Plant Material with a 15% chance of dropping 2 as the new Builder Kit makes it easy to mass-craft and plant flowers, giving you too much of a net positive of stamina and materials
  
• Available paintings now have sell values
  
• Crafting tab no longer lags; only contains crafting recipes for consumables and materials. Traditional buildables can be crafted or pinned from your Builder's Kit
  
• Cows and chickens no longer yap so frequently and less loud
  
• Removed all building restrictions except for barns and NPC houses
  
• Fixed issues with building inside townhomes
  
• The grid now properly aligns with the corners of the house, allowing you to place blocks, counters, or tables to snap to the edge properly
  
• Guardians now have their own text style
  
• Optimization of buildables, especially in save files with 20,000 blocks
  

...Wow, did I get everything? I think so!
The text overlay when you're in nudge mode used to be "locked". But then, I made a joke image while working on the new tutorial images and...



There's a lot of features packed into this update, and it should make building a lot smoother and feel a lot better. You can really go all out making different kinds of things, like a Pumpkin-headed Nobu Jr Plush, or something more normal.



Which new feature are you the happiest about? I think for me, it's the undo and redo. I make mistakes a lot, so it's a lifesaver. I still have a slight bit of panic when I accidentally put things away, but now I remember I can just ctrl+Z my problems away.

If you read this all the way to the end (or you just scrolled here hi), thank you very much! The two of us need to go take a nap now~ ...and buy groceries.

[h3]As always, thank you very much for your support 🥺 We put a lot of work and polish into this update!

If you have any questions, feel free to ping us in Discord.
See you soon 🐾[/h3]
