Release 159: Resources, Cuttletrunks, and Statributes!

[Karokendo]

Love that! Good job dev team! <3

[DanBeforeTime]

So excited to try this out!

The resource distribution technology has been updated and the configuration has been tweaked. As part of this all the worlds have had their chunks regenerated and resources fully redistributed. Any areas outside of a beacon will have been regenerated to their original state. This will have resulted in unbeaconed areas of your builds or cities being removed.

Aren’t we getting at least a little bit information of what exactly has changed :D?
“What is more and what is less?”

Game displays welcome message for a world through a portal without going through it.

This is an issue??? I considered it more of a feature… it can be quite helpful to know that there is a portal nearby without having to do an exhaustive search ^^

[nevir]

The way it’s phrased is pretty confusing until you understand what’s going on, though

[Skippy0330]

Thanks for constantly re balancing the game to try new stuff out

No it’s not an issue. But it’s a legacy message triggered when the client connects to another world.

It should be presented as:

1. A compass enhancement to include nearby Portals.
2. The official World welcome message (as seen in the PSX trailer).

It’s legacy.

Love the changes in healing items:

Raw Meat: -200
Raw Starberry: +50
Cooked Starberry: +200
Cooked meat: +300
Healing Brew: +1200

And is this intended? Now inky plants take more than 1 hit to break.

wow 30 minuets in an elopor cave and i walked away with 37 gold 64 silver 15 titanium 25 small fossils and 25 med fossils.

[NexiBit]

thats how caves should be

[DanBeforeTime]

I only had about 20 mins to walk around and explore this afternoon but I found coal and hard coal right away. Hadn’t seen anything but soft coal on Solum until today. Didn’t look for metals yet but found 3 fossils easily. Not used to this

[BoaConstrictor]

I found a similar experience on Alturnik & Vulpto. Although where once I found Ruby easily on Vulpto, I so far find none. Hmmmm…did you devs forget to put the gems back in?

@james

Planets now have an elemental type, with the ring worlds being allocated one. The elements match up with the gem types of the planets. Some of the creatures on elemental planets use elemental attacks.

Can we now expect to find the same gems on planets they were on before this release?

The new UI looks looooooooovely! <3

• Increased XP for mining and attacking.
• Quieter gem torch SFX.

@james

• [new] Game does not display a message when the maximum number of planet markers has been reached.

Hey, I was sure what the limit of maximum number of planet markers is a bug, not the message!

@james

• Fix smart stack items not gaining wear on death.

Oh, nooo!
Maybe only handled items will be weared on death?

[Wichall]

Does every item in a smart stack now lose durability on death?

[DanBeforeTime]

I thought it was a bug, but the way James worded that has me wondering now…

[Dzchan94]

I think it’s not a bug. I still lost around 70 iron tools and 5 gem hammers, without me noticing.

Damn lava, my worst enemy. I’ll just have to avoid dying more than I have.

[Havok40k]

Every item with durability in your inventory takes damage on death. It was technically a bug before that prevented smart stacks from being damaged. Better stock up on healing items!
