[h3]The Surface 1.0[/h3]

General

[h2]The Surface[/h2]

• Updated Floor 1. You cannot convert Floor 1 if you already started The Surface Climb.
  
• Added The Surface World Generation when you finally reach The Surface. It will take 25 ladders to climb to The Surface.
  
  
• Added the prompt back for The Surface when you click the Wood material on Floor 1.
  
  
  
• Added trees, rocks, plants, grass and flowers that will spawn on The Surface on World Generation.
  
• Added a Trader. It can have a chance to spawn once you reach The Surface or if you haven't found him yet, your Dwarf can look for him by Exploring. The Trader has some valuable, but expensive things for sale!
  
• Added a new Tile: Mithril. Mithril cannot spawn in the world and the ore can only be obtained by a Dwarf Exploring. If you have enough Mithril, you will be able to create a Mithril Honeycomb and place the Mithril Honeycomb on a Mineable Floor to have a chance for Mithril to spawn.
  
• Added a new Ore: Mithril Ore.

  • Gold Coin.
    
  • Mithril Coin.
    
• Added 27 new materials: Bees, Honey and Honeycomb.
  
• Added new placeable for The Surface only: Apiary. Apiary breeds Bees and creates Honey and Honeycomb with Bees. You must find a Bee by exploring to buy your first Apiary and you cannot place an Apiary down where there's an object.
  
• Added new placeable: Stamper. Using Ingots, the Stamper can create Coins. Coins can be used to buy goodies from the Trader or The Store. Trader can spawn randomly when exploring The Surface or on World Generation (if you get lucky).
  
• Added new placeable: Honeycomb. Honeycomb is obtained by Bee Production in an Apiary. Honeycomb can be used to increase ore or non-ore spawn chances underground and can only be placed on a Mineable Floor.
  
• Added a spawning option for The Surface in the Cloning Orb to choose to spawn your Dwarf on The Surface or Underground. This prompt will show once you reach The Surface. Only one Dwarf can be on The Surface.

• Added 7 random events for the new Dwarf Behavior "Exploring".
  
  • Failed attempt at finding something.
    
  • Chance to catch a Normal Bee.

• Added new achievement: Reach The Surface!
  

[h2]Offline Gain[/h2]

[h2]Dwarf[/h2]

• Fire, Ice and Poison Skills are now fully implemented.
  
  
  
• Added new Dwarf Behavior "Exploring". This can only be done on The Surface. Once the Dwarf explores it takes 5 seconds for them to try and find something. If nothing is found they move on.
  

[h2]Camera[/h2]

• Changed how the camera works when you unlock The Surface. It will snap to the ladders if you're moving your camera down from The Surface.
  
• You can no longer move the camera X Axis (horizontal A+D) Underground.
  

UI

[h2]Main Menu[/h2]

• Made the Main Menu UI larger. Buttons were pretty small.

• These alerts will show on the left side of your screen. It will show how many materials are gathered within a 10 second period and the material icon that's currently looted/mined.
  

Fixes

[h2]General Fixes[/h2]

• Potentially fixed an issue that may have caused liquids to give more than they should after digging if you bought Liquid Spawn Chance Properties when your Liquid Floor leveled.
  

[h2]Placeable Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed cost not being deducted after placing a Placeable (Furnace, etc).
  
• Fixed some placeables that gave improper high Build Cost too early.
  

[h2]Dwarf Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed Dwarf Position not saving on The Surface.
  
• Fixed when Dwarves mine a Floor it wouldn't create the next area. It will now run another check so this doesn't happen again since it was a rare bug. (Thanks Ms Clover on discord for the report!).
  
• Fixed an issue when Dwarves are digging, they would run out of Stamina at 0 seconds and the timer would reset without giving any materials. Stamina will now be reduced after the Dwarf has gathered the material.
  

[h2]UI Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed Placeable Panel not updating costs until you click on a placeable again. It will now update the cost after you purchase a placeable.
  
• Fixed Tooltips going off screen based on resolution. It will now respect your resolution.
  
• Fixed being able to click behind UI. This shouldn't happen anymore.
  
• Fixed when resizing your game window it would cause tooltip to overlap what you're hovering with your mouse. To combat this I disabled resize manually, but you can use the Settings to choose your appropriate resolution.
  

[h2]World Generation Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed when your game is loaded ground tiles wouldn't be set properly causing a crash.
