Solace Crafting News

Sorry for the pause in development, but I'm back home after visiting my family overseas, and back on the job!

This patch brings in a number of fixes for terraforming, building snapping, and the new crafting skills.

v 0.5.4.2 2019.08.13
- Changed town building snapping to step 1m at a time instead of 3m horizontal and 1.5m vertical
- Changed all terraforming changes to be slightly lower than listed to keep buildings from sometimes spawning a millimeter beneath flat ground
- Fixed grass not updating after terraforming operations
- Fixed monsters ignoring terraforming changes when spawning in terraformed areas
- Fixed crafting skills not saving/loading properly
- Fixed right-clicking an edible item to eat it throwing a harmless error
- Fixed a spelling error

Lots of new weapons and shields in this patch along with some fixes to the recent town additions. I have not had the time the past couple days to create unique icons for each of these new items and the new skills, so this will be added to beta for now, where it will have to sit for a while as I am going to be out of town until the 10th.

This finalizes a few system though that now make it quite easy to add new equipment either known, as a drop, or unlockable via towns or skill trees. Both the stats for the new items, and the benefits of the new crafting skills will no doubt need some balancing over time, and definitely more crafting skills are still needed for all professions.

v 0.5.4.1 2019.07.29
- Added 34 new weapons/shields learnable via town crafters and crafting skill trees (stats/icons are a wip)
- Added 12 new crafting skills (stats/icons are a wip)
- Map markers will now clear per terrain prior to it loading forcing all yet present markers to refresh
- Fixed magical essence not making it's way into the storehouse
- Fixed Magic Siphon town building not automatically positioning itself
- Fixed Enchanter NPC displaying as Null
- Fixed Town and Terraforming buttons in the inventory working in multi-player (both are currently disabled in multi-player)
- Fixed Coal Mines, Limestone Quarries, and Magical Siphons not properly giving the option to deconstruct in the town interface

A new town resource and two new town buildings to handle it are in allowing crafting all the way up to enchanted construction supplies. This patch also fixes a bug that was stopping towns from upgrading past Hamlet status, cause Village, Town, and City buildings to never make it to the buildings list.

NPC are back on, and I've also added Enchanter I-IV, though it's just a placeholder building, and they don't teach anything yet.

v 0.5.4.0 2019.07.24
- Town NPCs are spawning again
- Added Enchanter I - IV (WIP)
- Added Enchanted Stone town resource to snow biome
- Added Magical Siphon and Siphoner town buildings for gathering Magical Essence from enchanted stones
- Halved drop rate of schematics from quality 0 (normal) monsters
- Fixed swapping between bow animations and default animations making the player enter a T-pose for one frame
- Fixed towns not upgrading beyond village

A feature intended to only affect multiplayer clients was messing with single player causing buildings to be displaced. They are not missing, they're just too far away to see or interact with. Implementing an auto-correct feature would be equally dangerous, and hopefully this has yet to affect too many people (beta only, only past 8km+)

If this bug has affected any of your buildings I'd be glad to repair them if you send me your saved world via Discord. Sorry for the trouble! That's why we beta is so important.

v 0.5.3.6 2019.07.23
- Fixed a bug displacing buildings
