Boundless Testing 234: Chiselable Glass & New Storage Containers!

Improve manual inventory management (drag-dropping) so that when merging two non-smart-stacks of items it will always be allowed to create a smart stack; eg stacking 80 into 40 creates a smart stack of 100+20, instead of a stack of 100, and leaving 20 items where the 80 was that you then had to drag again to create the smart-stack; or stacking 100 into a 50 creates a smart-stack of 100+50 instead of turning the 50 into a 100 and leaving 50 where the 100 was that you then have to drag again to create the smart stack.

Actually my favorite piece of this update haha

The glass never causes us lag. Yea we have around 80k glass dome.

Allows us to reduce the opacity of liquid meshes so that all water has the same transparency characteristics regardless of whether it is at the reflection plane or not. (We do still make vertical water a little more opaque, and glass blocks will still reduce the opacity a bit further, but they are much closer now).

Have you gone to test server to see what the change on it looks like yet?

I completely skipped over the shiny new items part and went straight to the engine topic and fixes… I hope that makes the game more playable in my case again

“Fixed a large CPU overhead when moving around the world quickly due to lighting sampling that could sometimes reduce FPS drastically for a period of time.”

Some crashdumps submitted, seems mouse movement during adv coil placement will cause client to close down.

That’s interesting, I missed that bit. Can’t get on tonight but hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to check it out. Thanks for pointing that out

F****** im out of sand and silty. I guess i have to go get get a lot more.

So did the idea of making the basket something that can attach to poles and beams get scrapped? Or is there some big secret props/interactable props and hangables coming down the pipe to add to this?

Also super excited for the new chiselable glass!!!

Any luck getting this added to this release @James ? People have been asking for it…

Home Beacon set to Guild or ALTs Beacon

Please give people the ability to set a guild beacon as their “home.” In some cases it is nicer to have this feature because you might not have your own build and it isn’t always feasible to just have a single plot near your actual guild home. It has been mentioned before and I would like to bring it up again - the ability to set ALT characters home beacon to another ALT or MAIN character’s beacon. It you have many ALTs it kind of sucks having to have a single home beacon just so you can war…

[ginabean]

I love this. Thank you.

[Takritimous]

Not gonna lie…I’d prolly soil myself in excitement

[Ocfos]

Dang, didn’t know they updated the textures and added vehicles. Secret patch notes.

[DKPuncherello]

You didn’t see the airplanes and dragons yet?

We did explore this but the issue is that you can’t destroy your own home beacon. So if you get into trouble then you can always warp home and recover. But if you set a foreign beacon as your home then it can be destroyed by another character or player. This could leave you recovering to an abandoned location - without means to recover.
