Tinkerlands Demo v1.0.2 Update


[h2]Heya, Tinkerlanders![/h2]
You know what they say—no rest for the wicked! And that’s us right now, thanks to all the amazing feedback you keep sending. We’re not stopping until every Tinkerlander is loving their time in our tiny adventure.

But before we jump into the fun stuff (like improvements!), there’s something we need to mention. We’ve come across a particularly tricky bug that’s out of our control because of how Steam works.

[h2]How to deal with "Error in action number 1" crash[/h2]
If you’ve played the prologue before, you might run into the "Error in action number 1" crash when launching the game. Don’t worry—it just means Steam cloud trying to load some older game files. To fix it, head over to %appdata%/Roaming/Shipwrecked/players and delete the player files.

You should also turn off Steam Cloud syncing by right-clicking the game, going to Properties, and unchecking the Cloud option.

Alright, now let’s get to the exciting part—what’s been improved in the new demo!

[h2]New Additions[/h2]
  • Added toggle in the options menu, allowing players to turn it off and return to the previous hotbar.
  • Ticket report tool now shares some extra data with us so we can have more intel about the bugs. (inventory, equipment and gamemode)

[h2]Improvements & Adjustments[/h2]
  • HP and MP potion buy price decreased.
  • Most of the potions sell price was reduced.
  • Added a limit to the Blood Armor lifesteal bonus.
  • Minimap is now closed when the player dies.
  • Island/Worlds save location was moved to a new folder. The game will still load games from the previous folder if no new worlds are found.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed a bug that would duplicate sprites in some worlds.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent players from interacting with objects in some worlds.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when opening the map and the crafting menu at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug that would make all items dropped from breaking a container lose their affixes.
  • The game will now warn and try to fix islands that were corrupted due to Steam cloud save.
  • Big Wooden Chest can now be open from all sides.
  • The player will no longer move when dashing while the game is paused.
  • The player will no longer move when on a minecart while the game is paused.
  • The player will no longer move when hooked while the game is paused.
  • The player will no longer move when on ice while the game is paused.
  • Ticket report text will no longer be cleared when the window loses focus.
  • Ticket report text can now be pasted with CTRL+V.
  • Tiles can now be placed below the cauldron.
  • Fixed a bug that would make players see other players take freezing damage even when they had protection.
  • Fixed some visual effects that weren't synced for all players in multiplayer.
  • Fixed some sound effects that weren't synced for all players in multiplayer.
  • Fixed a bug that would crash the game when dying by a poison tick.
  • Fixed a bug that would make some buffs and debuffs not apply to all players in multiplayer.
  • Coccoon, Frog Prince Altar and Corrupted Heart will no longer spawn if their spawn position is blocked.
  • Fixed a bug that would desync blocks in multiplayer if a block was placed and another player moved to that position due to latency.
  • Fixed a bug that would make directional shadows disappear while low specs were disabled.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent using weapons with fast animations (leaf gun, boomerang) if fps were low.

[h2]Heya, Tinkerlanders![/h2]
The day we've all been waiting for is finally here, and we're beyond thrilled to bring you the brand-new demo of Tinkerlands! It's been a crazy journey since the release of Tinkerlands: A Shipwrecked Adventure, and thanks to all your amazing feedback, we've made tons of improvements. Oh, and did we mention? Multiplayer is here at last!

Here's a sneak peek at what’s waiting for you in this demo compared to the single-player prologue:

If you face some nasty bug - please don't hesitate to pass it to us through in-game Ticket report tool (you'll need to press for that), in Discord or Community Hub!
