Planet Centauri News

Hello! The new update introduces weapon leveling (for swords, bommerangs and bows).
Like pets, your swords can gain exp by killing monsters, but also receive exp through upgrade crystals.
Ascension allows you to unlock up to 7 tiers of levels for your weapons (1-10, 10-20, etc..), but requires materials found on bosses, and souls.
With this new system, all weapons, even low tier ones, can be usefull at the end of the game.
Now many weapon have also a main stat, which scale with the level.

New update also introduce the first boss, present near the surface in caves, stats increase of pets, and few new boomerangs.
One of them is hidden on the surface near the spawn, another can be crafted from wisp dust and allows you to see through blocks!

Hello!

New patch including new mechanics, currencies!

What does this mean? That you will no longer have to destroy the 10,000 weapons you found, you can recycle them into currencies that will allow you to re-craft other weapons in many ways!

ps : Small precision: avoid recycling your "red" weapons (level 7) in the next patches, there will be mechanics to fix your level 7 weapons that do not suit you

Adds:
- Equipment/weapon recycler that allows you to obtain special currencies
- Currencies menu to use currencies on weapons/equipment to reroll rarity
level, change or reroll effects...

Changes:
- Upgrade equipment menu reworked

Fix:
- Monsters are not visible in previews
- Random crash of pipes conveyors

Step 1 : Recycle your weapons for currencies!


Step 2 : Use the currencies on the weapon you want!
"Relic of Transformation", "Randomize the rarity level to 1 from 4"
"Relic of Alteration", "Randomize the rarity level to 2 from 5"
"Relic of Transfiguration", "Randomize the rarity level to 3 from 6"
"Divine Trinket", "Increase the rarity level by 1 until 6"
"Unstable Orb", "Randomize level of one effect"
"Unpredictable Orb", "Randomize level of all effects"
"Aberrant Orb", "Randomize all effects and modifiers"



Also, as you will see, A new UI was made for the upgrade because let's be honest, the old one was pretty Ugly.

Hello!

New patch with news Grenades, new souls containers (bigger capacity), new magitech gates and the new shield mechanics! (you will now have a gauge linked to the shield, when you use it, it will cancel 90% of the damages if you have enough gauge left for that).
Many optimizations make the game run better on some computers when the world contains many elements (monsters, magitech etc)

Adds:
- reworked rendering engine to fix all transparency problems on the entity layer
- shield jauge that absorb damages
- lua added for grenades/throwable items
- 8 new grenades
- old grenades explode on contact with the enemy

- debug option to see bounding/render boxes and paths (pathfinding)
- new magitech gates: pixel line, full adder, modulo, div and a new memory block type
- 6 new soul containers
- ability to change the color of a soul container by coloring the backwall at the top left
- reworked magitech crafts (uses less resources)

Optimizations:
- updated compiler (only windows) to generate a faster binary
- wisp/repty/devourer lua code optimized (divided update time by 3)
- hide offscreen monsters
- optimized the loading time of worlds with a lot of decorations and especially magitech
- greatly optimized magitech pipes
- greatly optimized rendering of objects (factorized render states)
- a lot of other optimizations overall, the game should run much faster

Fix:
- pathfinding issue
- error if click on 'new' button on magic preview
- magitech debug infos removed on tooltips
- random crash when using balls
- incubator can crash if you keep the UI open and go far away
- tooltips are still visible when we hide the UI (F5)
