[Tasks and Events]

Expanded guidance tasks to define some universal tasks, which must have a unique identifier.

Sometimes limited universal tasks will automatically verify whether the task requirements are met at their deadline. Reward or punish.

The association between string events and general tasks can be defined in the background of the opening, and when a string event is triggered, several corresponding general tasks will be generated.



General tasks have added a list of successful trigger string events and a list of failed trigger string events

In the background, you can directly define the mapping between string events and summoned creatures, as well as the mapping between string events and creating a preset character label list.

At the beginning, you can define a string event that triggers a loop. As long as you set a positive interval, it will trigger a loop. Otherwise, it will trigger a single time.



A string event that can be triggered at a specific moment in the background definition.

The item rule in the blueprint can include a string event that will be added to the grid where this item rule applies. According to the type of event, it will be triggered in the following situations: any character enters a grid point; A character with a specified label (created from a character preset with a label, will carry that label) enters the grid; Any character dies at a grid point; Characters with specified labels die at grid points; Any character enters deep sleep at a grid point and has been asleep for more than 8 hours since the last time they fell asleep; The character with the specified label enters deep sleep at the grid point and has been asleep for more than 8 hours since the last time; Add a specified type of instruction task at the grid point

The event can define the number of times it takes effect, with -1 being an infinite number of times it takes effect



The management interface has added a general task page, where you can submit corresponding general tasks and abandon them.

The task has added a list of tags for successfully creating preset characters and a list of tags for failed creation of preset characters. A preset corresponding character will be created in case of success or failure.



Character presets can be accompanied by string events that will be triggered when a character created from this preset dies.



[NPC]
Added a career experience entity (emphasizing the growth of abilities due to a certain experience for a certain number of days)

You can define the benchmark number of days for career experience and the number of days for additional skill growth.

When obtaining this career experience, with a given probability, make certain knowledge and skills of the character reach at least a specified number of points

When there is an additional ability to increase the number of days, a maximum number of days can be specified, and days exceeding the limit are ignored. A bonus related to the number of days a character can acquire skills and knowledge with a given probability for these days, and a total upper limit can be specified

When obtaining this career experience, similar to the growth of knowledge and skills mentioned above, the character will be given some items. (For example, money, experience related tools, etc.), the difference is that the specified upper limit for the bonus of additional days for items is the upper limit for adding additional items (without counting the number of items assigned by the benchmark).

When obtaining this professional experience, try to obtain the specified illness/injury with a certain probability.

Species can define their occupational experience pool, and when creating a creature, they extract experiences from this experience pool based on their age until they are depleted of age.

Added display of character's career experience

Added: Advanced in basic physics, advanced in basic biology, carpenter, blacksmith, miner, builder, fisherman, chef, tailor, lumberjack, repairman, doctor, writer, painter, composer, screenwriter, choreographer, performer, singer, dancer, actor, salesperson and other professional experiences

The experiences of characters are calculated from the time when the organism reaches adulthood




[Custom Opening]

Added a character preset entity, which can preset the species, age, experiences at each relative moment, modifications made, injuries and illnesses, backpack items, and more.

The opening background can define some preset characters, which will be created at the beginning of the game.

The opening background can define a preset character pool for use in missions.

Removed opening knowledge selection

Added simple character configuration

Each opening comes with its own character points

When configuring, adding characters, adding experiences to characters, adding transformations to characters all consume points, and adding diseases to characters can earn points.

These preset characters will be generated at the beginning.

Note that selectable experiences, transformations, and diseases are associated with the species of the preset character, and items with insufficient points will not be displayed.

The beginning and end times of each character's experiences are automatically connected and placed after adulthood. The age of the character is automatically calculated as the sum of the adult age and the duration of all experiences.

Returning to the beginning of the reselection will clear all preset characters.



[Battle]

Remote attack has been changed to firing an object moving in a fixed direction

When holding a long-range attack weapon, left click on the map location and fire ammunition in the corresponding direction.

Temporarily 0.04kg for wooden arrows, 0.1kg for iron arrows, 0.02kg for rifle bullets, and 0.009kg for pistol bullets.

A simple grenade similar to a simple landmine has been added, but the difference is that it is similar to a gravel, with a default holding action of attacking and can be thrown.

Moving objects in a fixed direction and colliding with enemy units will cause damage and consumption, while colliding with terrain will result in direct consumption. When consumed, if explosive, explode at the disappearance point; otherwise, leave items in that area.




[Background Event]

Removed the default spaceship bombing event.

Change to a side quest every three days, providing 30kg of charcoal within 2 hours. If it is not enough, a nest body oil bug will appear near the player.





[Economy]

A new teleportation node marker has been added, and every once in a while, interstellar visitors will come to the planet through buildings with this marker and return through it. Each person will bring 1kg of gold and 10000 points of electronic currency. When buying things, prioritize using electronic currency and then use existing savings.

They default to bringing some food, and when they come down, they will replenish less than 2 servings of food. At the same time, they will also replenish their electronic currency, and they will return on average every day.

There are no more than 20 interstellar visitors within a planet, and they only return through the incoming teleportation nodes.

The management page has added a shopping mall that consumes electronic currency. The mall refreshes goods at 10 o'clock every day, with a maximum of 8 items available each time. Comes with 10 electronic currencies at the beginning.




[Interaction]

A new language option has been added for "come here to stroll", which is different from "approach me". Any intelligent and friendly creature will respond to this. Busy ones will respond with a refusal, while those who are more idle have a chance of reaching the location of the speaker. The better the relationship, the higher the probability.

Harvesting can also harvest benthic organisms. For plant communities with benthic organisms, priority should be given to harvesting actions, and all plants and benthic organisms should be cut off during harvesting.

Captured and repelled also receive text feedback.

The function of placing orders for production equipment from neutral groups has been added. First, collect materials from our own side (which should belong to the operating role according to the interaction method) and pile them up in semi-finished products. Then, transfer them to the equipment owner, who will assign personnel to manufacture them. After production is completed, the ownership of the items will be changed to the person who placed the order. Placing an order requires payment of 10% of the finished product price, otherwise it will fail. Individuals can obtain the local currency of the corresponding group by working.

When right-clicking on the production equipment, interaction items using it will appear for self owned or unowned parties, while interaction items placing orders will appear for non hostile parties

Allocation and possession of items from the item details page are only allowed in two situations: belonging to a group and belonging to an individual, and can be switched between each other.

When the right click right down corder of the window, the right-click menu always remains displayed in the interface



[UI]

The backpack panel displays the remaining load-bearing space





[NPC]

Increase the required favorability for recruitment to 90

The error logs of characters will also provide textual feedback similar to picking up objects

When holding an item, you can give it as a gift to other non hostile and memory capable units that interact with it. Gifts can only be given once a day. Increase favorability based on the other party's preference for the item. Items that are disliked will be rejected. Generally, a small amount of items will increase favorability, while items with a preference value of 0.9 or above will increase favorability significantly.

Added an invitation meeting action. Only individuals with a relationship of 20 or above who are not in the same grid can be initiated. A distance of more than 100 squares will result in failure.

The other party will come to the meeting point where the invitation is initiated during their free time.

When a character dies, a tombstone will be added in place, which will also record the name of the deceased, the moment of death, and the details of the character. Tombstones serve as book manuscripts to carry the generated textual content.

The decay cycle of tombstones is 100, each time for one year. That is to say, it can be stored for up to 100 years and ultimately transformed into 30kg of crushed stone.




[Physical mechanism]

Decay can now be defined as multiple rounds of decay, with each round reducing the corresponding percentage of completeness. When decay reaches zero completeness, it will be converted to a specified item.

Decay can specify a text blur flag. When this flag is present and there is text on the item (which is considered a manuscript), each round of decay will replace it with a character * every total number of rounds of decay.




[Game Mode]

Added an invincible mode:

Enable in settings, in this mode

Build directly when adding construction tasks

Directly mine when adding mining tasks

Player character battles lock in health

The construction, manufacturing, and production of items for player characters are immediately completed without consuming raw materials, and the excavation of player characters is immediately completed.



[Drawing]

The unloaded area has been replaced with a new icon

Optimized texture redrawing after region explosion



[Optimization]

Limit checking grid points 100000 times per second. After resource depletion, all remaining units will not perform complete pathfinding, and experience pathfinding limits resources (up to 200 grid points can be checked). The player's right click to find the way is not within this restriction.



[Plants]

Added ginger, pepper, garlic, garlic, scallions, chives, coriander, and fennel

Added Sichuan pepper and orange trees

After eating an orange, there will be residual orange peel, which will turn into orange peel after 3 days



[Compatibility]

No longer compatible with all old archives before version 0.5.18.34.

Due to significant incompatibility, we have upgraded the version number to a larger one.

In the archive list, there will be text next to each archive with significant version differences to indicate this.

We currently do not have a Discord channel

is there a discord?

We currently do not have the ability to maintain, so it may not be possible for a long time.

But in the future, it is also possible to find overseas partners to maintain one. Especially when we reach a certain level of development, we will make such attempts.

Players are welcome to create their own or suggest posting in the Steam community to receive our various responses.

This line will be commented out at the beginning of the built-in document and will not be displayed in the game, making it easier to compare during localization.

Added some built-in documents.

At the beginning, a default interface introduction image is displayed, and clicking it will disappear. Then the built-in document window will be displayed by default.



Added a simplified version of the boot task mechanism.

In the opening definition, a series of guiding tasks can be defined, which can provide the cumulative number of items that need to be achieved, or the total knowledge progress that needs to be achieved, task time limit, item rewards for completing tasks, and knowledge book rewards.

The book reward will be given in the form of a metal plate that records the book.

The rewards for items and books will be placed in the focus grid of the map when completing tasks.

There is a "guide task" text in the interface, and moving the mouse over will display various information such as the description of the task, current progress, completion rewards, and so on.

A new type of consumption task has been added, which automatically removes a specified number of items when the quantity is met.

A failed summoning character dictionary has been added to the mission, which will summon a specified number of enemies of the specified species when the mission fails.



19 new guidance tasks have been added.



Interaction

When saving automatically, a window will pop up displaying

The statistics will show the number of days that food, water, and electricity can sustain.

Lack of water, electricity, food, and warning icons will be displayed on the interface during combat.

Clicking on the warning icon during combat will redirect you to the location associated with the most recent battle.


Base Management

The planting and manufacturing tasks of buildings are no longer summarized and counted, but are listed separately, and each item can be removed.

When building, manufacturing, and terminating tasks are converted into actions, they will be immediately executed to lock the required items. Lock earlier to avoid overly optimistic estimation of additional action conversions.



Simulation

The picking task has added a weight limit, and if it is not picked up completely at once, it will be put back into the task pool

The amount of excavation per grid has been reduced from 9000 to 1000.



Ecological simulation

Three new plants that can grow within a day have been added: fast-growing starch fruit, fast-growing oil fruit, and fast-growing fiber fruit. And it produces 200 fruits a day.

However, fruits cannot germinate and must be made into balls by adding water and a large amount of substances with humus properties.

These plants all have field plant properties, which means they cannot be collected in the wild. But they have been added to many item pools.


NPC

Added the behavior management item of automatic charging, which has been added to all defined robots.

Characters will have a preference value between -1 and 1 for taste, which will affect the weight of food taste scores

Characters have a preference value between -1 and 1 for items, which can affect the weight of items such as total food score.

That is to say, the lowest score for food is 0, and the highest is 4 times the total score for its taste.

When creating a character, they will extract items they really like, such as minerals and buildings, as their favorite items (with a fixed preference value of 0.9).

The degree of preference for food will be extracted after eating.



Biochemical and Mechanical Transformation

The player character has an additional alternative edible action for installable components (distinguishing between biochemical and mechanical components). Mountable components do not require an edible label.

The maximum installation quantity limit has been added to the installable components. To avoid unlimited expansion of related attributes.

Added attribute to change food and water consumption values after installation.

Added attribute to change maximum stamina after installation.

Added built-in water circulator and built-in food reuse device, reducing water consumption by 0.05 and food consumption by 0.01 per minute, respectively.

Various cooked food formulas have added ingredients with combustion value.

The maximum flame temperature of bio oil is set at 3000, and the maximum flame temperature of coke is tentatively set at 2500.

The maximum temperature of methane flame is tentatively set at 2800.

Several iron product formulas have been fueled, and the highest temperature required for fuel is at least 1600.

The details of the formula have been added with a display of manufacturing time.

All actions of the character will be canceled before their death.

Thermal power generation can be transformed into materials with combustion value, and the output can be transformed into worthless ashes.

Split into arrow manufacturing machines, toy manufacturing machines, sewing machines, firearms production machines, ammunition production machines, shell production machines, landmine production machines, robot production machines, and vehicle production machines

Remove universal processing equipment



Cooking

Added item:

Stone mill, flour, bran, biscuits

Fixed a bug that caused the robot to not automatically charge.

Fixed a bug where packages can still be stored at distances over 100

A simple understanding of UI


At the beginning of the game, this image will be displayed. Clicking anywhere will cause it to disappear, and it can also be found in the built-in document.

This is certainly a DFlike game!

"comparison with dwarf fortress?"


Yes yes yes! This is certainly a DFlike game!

We have referenced and learned from many games, especially the great masterpiece Dwarf Fortress!

Our current characteristics:

1. Infinite map with z-axis similar to Dwarf Fortress and MC. You can go to any place and build any number of homes, and characters only come close enough to one place to automatically complete the tasks here, also only use materials that are close enough.

2. Simple simulation management: excavation (wearing equipment can dig quickly!), construction, production, collection, planting, simple automation rules, and so on. It can help characters survive and become prosperous.

3. Some simple but logical villages. The player's base will also have the same logic, but if there is a lack of regional planning, buildings, and items, the player's characters may be on standby more often, just in a daze or occasionally exercising some of their skills.

4. About 50 types of plants and benthic organisms, except for beautiful flowers, most of them produce food or cash crops. About 15 species of animals.

5. There are approximately 30 types of creatures and robots that can also be operated as characters (of course, there are also monsters and aliens inside).

6. There are already nearly 1000 items (including buildings) and more than 500 formulas available, and priority will be given to adding relevant industry chains based on player suggestions.

7. Nearly 70 types of knowledge (technology tree) and skills

8. There are various terrains such as plains, oceans, mountains, deserts, swamps, karst landforms, and so on.

9. Monster dormancy points, ruins, and some buried relics located throughout the map

10. A dynamic starry sky that automatically develops civilization, trades with each other, and confronts pirates.

11. Free module. We haven't opened a creative workshop yet, but modder can refer to the configurations in the data_core directory to add custom contents. And most things can be defined.

12. Dwarf Fortress is almost an entire world, We only have one clumsy little game here!

I'm very sorry to discover a new post in the community. And we have found a new way to reply!
