Novus Inceptio News

Hello everyone,

this is not an realy update but more a notice.

From Thursday 16.11. to Monday 20.11. we will be out of our office and we will not be able to respond to your questions, suggestions etc.
We will be at "Game Developer Sessions" in Prague - every year there we go and rest and relax with other developers.

We are so sorry that we will not react here in these days.
We thank you for your understanding.

BTW: If you like our game and love it, do not be afraid to write a review here at the Steam. This getting a lot of energy for us. A lot of people write a review if they are unhappy, but otherwise they forget about review and they do not realize how important they are to us. Thanks so much for everyone!

But as you know almost every day we make small patches and part of this announcement is one small one;)

• Fixed issue with the interaction in a small cave near the starting place.
  
• It is already possible to assign active skills again if they have been removed from the skillbar.
  

It recommends you to check steam integrate the game files - it is possible that you will not download all the files of this update.

And here is a list of all the minor updates since the last announcement 0.50.064:

• Fixed some issues interaction with roofing components.
  
• Fixed some issues during building mode.
  
• Small patch in UI.
  
• Using the F10 key, it is now possible to hide the game UI to make a better picture (via the F12 key).
  
• There has been a technical change in visualization of models for world mushrooms and metal nodes (visually you do not see any change). But it is possible that the performance of the game is slightly elevated or reduced - it is a correction due to global collisions - it is still in the testing and balancing.
  
• The "Take All" button is no longer displayed during the upload of the data to the container.
  
• The "Take All" Button requires confirmation in some situations:
  
• 1) If the weight of all items to greater than 1000 kg
  
• 2) If the weight of all items is greater than half the maximum load capacity of the character.
  
• 3) If the weight of all items and the weight of the inventory exceeds the maximum load capacity of the character.
  
• There does not longer show up showing better quality in farm fields (on mouse tooltip) than is the global max quality limit.
  
• If you have a hidden game UI, it is reactivated if you open a map or building mode.
  
• Adjusted collisions for unattached mining stations, cottage house and claim land token.
  
• More debugging of collisions around the world.

Hello everyone,

this is another update that belongs to the balancing and debugging section.

The main change (but that's not a change - this was in the game before and it just was turned off for a while), there is the possibility of losing raw materials during the failure of the production or losing your equipment during the fight.

Our game really builds on material bonuses and a complex manufacturing process.
Therefore, it is important to realize that each item is unique - the T5 sword or shield is always different (depending on the material used).
It is really vital that items with inappropriate materials can be lost.

Here is a sample of what are the differences between the different shields (an example is to influence the decay (loss of item during combat)):





There are also changes in the fight (which we will still balancing) - but because it is also influenced by skill and bonuses.
The fact that you have full T10 equipment is realy good but when this equipment have bad material bonuses, its realy bad and you're going to feel really hard during the fight.

For better mixing and selection of bonus material, the "ADVANCED" tab is teh best choice during production.

Below is a complete list:

• Again we have allowed the possibility of destroying your equipment during combat (temporarily this feature has been deactivated and you could not lost any equipment during combat - which is now back to the original settings).
  
• You can lose your gear during the fight - remember it!
  
• Not always TIER decides everything for equipment - T5 shield is not always the same - material bonuses are essential.
  
• Tools, weapons, and armor have new information on how much they can reduce decay.
  

• Creatures no longer have their level in one fixed value. But according to your skills and atributes they are in the range (recommended level to +5).
  
• Creatures are slightly tougher (Halloween creatures are easy due to event).
  
• Any creature can make a critical hit. Even if creatures repeatedly hits character only for 1-5 HP, a armor can be punctured and you get a real blow that can break the armor (and destroy it with one blow). Not to mention your life!
  

For example - fight with the bear lv 29.

Our character has mainly equiment T5 from the steel and scorpio (so protection is of many parts 99%).
This bear hit us only for 5 HP on 90% - because we have good skill and good equipment.
At 10% he made a critical hit and it was a maximum of 54 HP - which is for our life on value 1190 HP realy nothing and decay for our equipment after this fight its absolute funny - realy zero. And we can kill him for 3 + 4 ours strikes with sword. So it's not as bad as it may seem. it just revives the fight and shows that you have the wrong equipment for this level craze.

But if we fight again with the same bear and same character, but with the T0-1 equipment. We get a hit of 250 HP commonly, and the Critical is up to 400 HP.

It's all about the equipment!

• Wound healing (bleeding) now has a chance of failure - it depends on your First Aid skill and the item's tier.
  
• Information about the% success of the treatment can be see in onmouse tooltip in bottom bonuses/informations (last icon on the right - red broken heart).
  

• It is already possible to lose some raw materials in case of unsuccessful production (not during building).
  
• The basic chance of losing raw materials during failure production is 50% - you can reduce this chance to 25% with a new passive bonus!
  
• New bonus in the "crafting basics" section.
  
• Crafting now has higher skillgain (but only for skills (such as carpentry, alchemy, etc.) - not for attributes (strength, logic, etc., they have skillgain lower).
  

• Now you can activate the autorun - using the F3 key - do not forget the fatigue ;)
  
• UI - Better define tabs in Craft Window (BASIC / ADVANCED).
  
• UI - color differentiation of the indicator to% production success.
  
• New Recipe for Oil - Available in the Alchemy section.
  
• New floating information if you lose an item (during combat, production, etc.).
  

• The monsters in the desert have already been properly spawned.
  
• Improved performance during rain.
  
• It's no longer raining in the starting temple.

• Repairing mine stations no longer reducing their quality / tier.
  
• Floating icons on the map are already showing well (the issue was manifested only when you have the UI scale is changed in the game settings).
  

• Fixed a problem with the production of leather items - when there is a poor definition of material and bonuses (items that was made with this error, unfortunately bear the wrong attributes - must be made again).
  
• Fixed issue with age when the character reached 75 years old and the game has been restarted.
  
• All creatures now are a little bit harder.
  
• The blade can now also be made from bones.
  
• The fish hook can now also be made from bones.
  
• The Sewing Kit now has only one recipe.
  
• Sewing kit now has new ingredients - 2x blade.
  
• New option to switch to production from other material for the same recipe - if the item has other recipes from diferent materials (such as: Blades, Heads, etc.).
  
• It is no longer possible to open the production window using the "X" key - if your character is in a battle stance.
  

• Other modifications to some recipes.
  
• Adjusted weight of some items.
  
• Adjusted ingredients for some items (mostly weapons and tools).
  
• Correction of some items (definition of their material).
  

• Planning of building elements now has a greater range.

Hello everyone,

as you've surely noticed during the past week, there were many small updates that were either hotfix or solved balancing games.

In total, eight of these small updates were released for the week.

This new update "0.50.057" is also among the small ones that mainly balance and repair.

But it is definitely worth highlighting these changes:

It is now possible to search for recipes in the production window.
Building mode now shows the names of building components + necessary ingredients for final construction and especially building parts you have not yet learned (not found blueprint).
There has also been a significant change in skill and atributes acquisition/skill rate - attributes and skills now grow exponentially - the higher the skill / stat the then grows more slowly.
But if you have a higher generation, the speed is improving.

Below is the entire list:

• CRAFT - It is possible to search in the production window by the name of the blueprint.
  
• CRAFT - blueprints in the left (in categories) no longer show confusing (in this part UI) prefix "Beginners" for (Armor, tools, weapons, etc.).
  
• BUILDING MODE UI - now shows as onmouse the name of the building and the required ingredients.
  
• BUILDING MODE UI - it is now possible to display even not learned building parts.
  
• TUTORIAL - Adjusted tutorial - if a player has made a hammer or parts of it prematurely.
  
• UI - The Tier information on the item icons is newly shown in the top left corner (instead of the lower left corner, where collision with the visual piece number information) occurred.
  
• UI - The mouse over item tooltip in the inventory now shows the number of pieces (if larger than one).
  
• UI - It is no longer possible to take "Take All" action in the bank.
  
• UI - Unstuck action requires confirmation.
  
  

• All production packages (Rope, Cloth, Leather, Plank, Wall, Log, Trick, Brick, Nail) now require 12 ingredients.
  
• Completely adjusted skill rate - Higher value of the skill is trained slower than the lower value.
  
• The bigger generation of your character gives the better the skill rate, even on the higher skill.
  
• Adjusted minimum value for tools / weapons decay.
  

• Fixed bug with bad AGE POINTS attribution in some situations.
  
• Applied fix that checks and corrects AGE POINTS.
  
• Your AGE POINTS can get into a minus - if you've used the bug and assigned points via this problem - it's a good idea to reset your points.
  
• There is no more snowing where it is not logically appropriate. Such as in the winter months in the desert and the jungle - in these locations, it is snowing if you are in higher mountain areas (regardless of biomes).
  
• BUILDING MODE UI - They are already showing up the default building UI keys shortcuts for new players.
  
• BUILDING MODE UI - if you have an active element and you click on a filter or a selection of another element, the currently held element will no longer be built.
  
• The "Take All" action already correctly reflects the weight setting (in game options) and divides the items between Inventory and A2-A Storage.
  
• GHOST MODE - Cutted trees/bushes are no longer visible after a restart game.
  

• Correction of AGE POINTS calculation.
  
• Amount of raw materials needed for some packs has been reduced.
  
• Trees and bushes now give more seedlings (randomly from 1 to 3 pieces).
