Dev-Com
Welcome, members of the Accord!
In this patch we are improving once again bot programming, by implementing multi request understanding, item type filter, log code, harvest, and we are adding a new creature to the game, the Viledarts.
This patch took few days more than planned, but we had to make few changes to the inventory system to drastically improve performance when using multi request function on both >Loot and >Deposit, but thanks to that, player is now able to use more than one filter in the code, for example >deposit(target)(Battery ST-1/Medical/Polan Crystal), rather than splitting the code to 3 parts, player will merge them into a single line.
We are also adding the >Log function to the game, which is important to keep the code clearer when IF ELSE THAN code system is used, and >Harvest, which will allow bots to use Growbeds to harvest player plants, allowing the bot to be a semi useful "farmer".
We are also adding a new creature that was delayed by quite a bit, the Viledarts, which is a turret like creature that hides within the Forest of Karenos.
Even though we will still work on the bot programming, for the moment we want to focus on more 3d content such as new items, buildings, creatures, and many more.
We are also slowly implementing a partial controller support, we should be able to showcase first part of the controller support in the upcoming patches, this addition will be implemented slowly as game is quite complex in some parts, and will require some minor improvements, especially since we don't want to force keyboard users to UI changes that are useful only to controller users, and vice versa.

answer: number
code 1: any code chunk with no line limit, placed inside of { }
code 2: any code chunk with no line limit, placed inside of { }
Example: if(target)(cargo)(=)(100) then { >loop } else
{ >ping(Building)(B689)(Container)(save)
>set(target)(Load)
>Go(target)
>loot(target)(all)
>Continue }
