Friday Progress Report 252

While making sample recipe mods we found critical save-breaking bugs in the ingredient system, so we had to stop progress on that before the bugs are taken care of.



The bug is triggered when modding ingredients or recipes in an existing save, the ingredient tags and effects get scrambled, so avoid modding these until the next update!

We are also working on the next big feature of the building system, uploading buildings.



And we have implemented multi-tile pieces, this feature was required for the medium tower, since they occupy 1 tile and half, this is the main reason we haven’t released them yet despite being fully modeled and textured, but we do need to test these pieces more before releasing them, so it may take a few more days before we add the medium tower parts.



The recipe mod sample and the medium tower pieces should be ready and released during this week.

Friday Progress Repart 252

Hello there my diamond-hands crypto enthusiasts, we finally implemented the most requested feature so far!
Faerie non-fungible tokens! Now you can too spend a ton of money on a low res png and claim as yours!



You can use them as profile picture, or upscale, print and frame, show to your friends make them jealous!
We have just minted this wonderful collection of 42069 Faeries, and any of them can be yours for just 15 Etherium each!

We know how much gamers love crypto and NFTs in gaming, this is for you our bullish friends, do not be like the paper-hands losers who hate on the future of gaming due to FUD, get in early and get rich as the Faeries will explode in value due to how amazingly popular and totally successful our game is even though we haven't sold 50 copies yet!

Patch Notes:

V0.31.0.0 ~ 25.03.2022 ~ Unity 2020.3.14f1

Features:
Added official support for multiple building pieces on the same tile. In the future, when support mechanics are implemented, the building system will add the weight of all pieces but only the highest support will be provided.
- You can place as many building pieces on the same tile as you want, so long they are different pieces or different rotation or different flip state.
- Right clicking with the hammer used to destroy whatever piece was on the current type/slot you are hovering. Now it will only delete the same pieces you have selected and with the same flip/rotation. Ctrl+right click deletes everything in the selected tile. This works on both the hammer and the maul.
Implemented the workshop popup when the user needs to accept the Steam's workshop user agreement.
Added mods and a mod manager
Added Steam Workshop integration
Added 10 Achievements
Added Automatic Steam Cloud save sync
Added 20 Dark Wood building pieces
Added 30 Stone building pieces

Changes:
Small updates to the mod xml loader.
Added a failsafe for removing buildings that do not exist anymore (removing a mod).
Added a failsafe for removing items being cooked if the result does not exist anymore (removing a mod).
Added a failsafe for removing ingredients being cooked that does not exist anymore (removing a mod). Only works with cooking operations started after this patch and requires GameplayData.RunFailsafesOnLoad to be enabled.
Added a failsafe for removing items that do not exist anymore (removing a mod)requires GameplayData.RunFailsafesOnLoad to be enabled.
Added a failsafe that hides cookbook recipes that uses or creates missing items.
The mod manager window now automatically refreshes when adding/deleting a mod
The mod manager now can create Simple Mods (Asset and XML mods) or Complex Mods (Code mods) presets.
Added feedback when uploading mods, will automatically open the mod on the workshop on your browser unless you disable it in gameplay options.
Added more feedback logs to figure out why a bug happens on some machines.
The game don't automatically send exceptions on modded clients.
Completely rewrote how building pieces work, currently saved structures will still load and look the same, but some of the new methods to delete individual pieces don't work on some of them. You can still destroy them with the maul if you need to modify old buildings.
The game now saves to zip files.
Any existing save that is not on the zip format will be overriden when making a new save with the same name.
This means that the four Quicksave1 files will be deleted if you quicksave, the new quicksave being Quicksave1.zip
Increased harvest penality on Wild Crop trait
Added Disease Vulnerable trait to base tomato seeds
Fixed some UI cooking issues.

Bugfixes:
Fixed mods language files not loading
Fixed XML and asset bundle mods loading even when disabled.
Improved the error message when attempting to access a non existing skill (new recipe that uses a skill that was not added)
Deleting a mod also deselects it.
Fixed issues related to foundations not correctly deleting or detecting ground due to their new implementation (they are technically placed one tile below where you aim)
Fixed Darkwood Support Piece support and offset
Fixed rotation offsets when flipping pieces
Fixed Yukari going through the ground consistently
Fixed an issue with equipping the hammer too quickly after loading a save/starting a new game.
Fixed an issue with the save screen loading the wrong file if it needs to scroll.
Fixed issues with the building window miscounting items and/or showing the wrong requisites
Fixed an issue with the cut grass state not loading from save files
Fixed an issue with some systems not updating their Database Entity references, this caused buildables asking for the wrong materials if new items were added.

Known Issues:
The stone gate meshes were inverted. This will not be automatically fixed on load, so you will need to destroy and build them again if you used them.
