Dwarveloper Log #40 - Research System

[h2]Welcome Dwarves![/h2]



We hope everyone is keeping well and getting ready to spring into a new month!



Here are some things we've been working on since last time!



Code

• Continued squishing bugs for the new navgraph system
  
• Rails/elevator tracks can now be built by simply dragging them out and holding SHIFT pressed
  
• Rails/elevator tracks can now be built by standing on an elevator platform/riding a minecart
  
• Some minor improvements to the dig/mine AI
  
• The map near the start location has been tweaked to look more natural and invite vertical exploration
  
• Dwarfs can now dig, mine, and build while standing on an elevator, climbing stairs, or riding rail carts
  
• When building tiles on the map it is now possible to do so from further away. For instance it is now possible to build a stairway of sorts downwards
  

Art

• Worked on art assets for the research system
  
• Made the top bar longer to fit more menu icons
  
• Made stairway tower and stairway scaffold
  
• Finished the art for the railway system
  
• Moved all the planes for creatures closer to each other to remove unnecessary shadows
  

Join us next week for another Dwarfveloper log for more updates on all things Hammerting!
