Pipes and Pumps Update v0.2.30


A lot of things have changed with this update. The gist of it is you no longer receive the filled water/lava bottles from digging. You now receive the liquid. You'll then have to go through the process to create empty bottles and fill them in a Pump.

Before Patch Notes

This update did not come with the perk to make Pumping faster. I'm still working on the concept of everything. Next week (hopefully) I'll have an idea on how to implement it properly. I will also include perks to change liquid spawn rates on floor resets.

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

    [h3]Achievements[/h3]
  • You can now earn All Bottled Up.
  • You can now earn Plumbers Crack.

    [h3]Materials[/h3]
  • Added new material type: Gathered Water and Gathered Lava.
  • Renamed Water to Filled Water Bottle.
  • Renamed Lava to Filled Lava Bottle.
  • Changed the description for Filled Water Bottle and Filled Lava Bottle to match its current existence in the game.

    [h3]Perks[/h3]
  • Unlock Digging perk cost has been reduced from 3000 Dirt cost to 30 Dirt cost.

[h2]AI[/h2]

    [h3]Dwarf[/h3]
  • Digging Water now yields Gathered Water instead of Bottled Water
  • Digging Lava now yields Gathered Lava instead of Bottled Lava

[h2]Placeables[/h2]
  • Added new placeable called Pump. Pumps will be able to pump a liquid source if it can find a liquid source.



  • Added new placeable called Bottler. Bottler will use sand to create empty bottles used to be filled in a pump.



  • Updated Recipes for Furnace.



  • Timer will show above the Pump just like the Dwarf Dig.

    [h3]Recipes[/h3]
  • Added new Recipe (Pump): Fill Water Bottle.
  • Added new Recipe (Pump): Fill Lava Bottle.
  • Added new Recipe (Bottler): Empty Bottle.
  • Added new Recipe (Furnace): Glass.


[h2]Fixes[/h2]

    [h3]UI[/h3]
  • Fixed Materials not updating properly when you have the Dwarven Book open and a placeable is creating new materials.

    [h3]Alerts[/h3]
  • Fixed alert when sending a dwarf to another floor it wouldn't use their name in the alert message.

    [h3]Placeables[/h3]
  • Fixed when destroying a placeable the tile data isn't wiped.
  • Fixed Fusion Machine returning output items back after changing recipes.


What's Next?

After the rest of the Pipes & Pumps perk implementation there most likely won't be big updates for a month. We're going to be working on the next thing on the roadmap and that's Archaeology. The artist will have to create all the new artwork for Archaeology and it's going to take some time. HOWEVER, there will be small updates still changing certain things within the game to make certain features or mechanics better.
