Testing 234: Chiselable Glass!

• Update the Machine/Power Coil HUD info to show a bar reflecting the combined wear of full Machine and Power Coil network so that the bar will only show as fully repaired if the Machine and all coils are repaired.
• Adjust the recently added Spanner behaviour so that the Machine and Power Coils will now repair at the same rate by biasing to repair the engines more than the Machine as the engines have more durability.
• Adjust the action-log for repairing a Machine network to show a single log-line like “Repaired Compactor and Power Coils for 150 wear” instead of a single line for the Machine and each of the connected Power Coils.

@james

• 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.

OMG! Yes!

I think it should be this way…

Added Transparent and Chiselable Glass blocks:

• Added “Plain Glass” fully chiselable block crafted the same way as the “Plain Glass Pane”, this is not a mesh and does not count against the chunk-mesh limit.
• NOTE: “Stylish Glass” and “Ornate Glass” blocks will also be added.
• NOTE: The engine change to have the existing Glass Panes rendered with the voxel technology meaning they will no longer count against the chunk-mesh limit will also be added.
• The original “Glass Frame” block now has a very slight translucency to it and will be chiselable!

Heh, I’m confused!

So is there a new glass block that looks like the old glass block that is chisellable?

But it uses a different recipe, which is the recipe for a glass pane?

Are the old glass blocks getting converted into the new ones, and been made chisellable?

Are the old ones gone completely?

Glass panes are no longer meshes, but are not chisellable?

! Just came home from work and saw this thread
I can’t wait for it to go live lol this is a very good update

[Ovis]

The old glass block is now chiselable.

Glass panes are no longer meshes.

There is a new glass block that is the glass pane in block form, which is also chiselable.

Also the old glass is the same but with a ever so slight opacity to it.

Thanks, this made it fall into place!

@Ratchel has 80kish for the dome. You’ll probably be ok.

Nice, my town is super complex and compact last thing I want is lag when I enter my build

I honestly thought chiselable glass would still be a long way off so this is a really fantastic surprise … not wanting to sound ungrateful but is there any chance you could take another look at glass underwater too as despite the last update on it it’s still pretty pants in terms of transparency and general look. Underwater bases would look amazing if that could be fixed.

Looks like it’s a new block type. Glass + gleam. See @AeneaGames post

Actually my favorite piece of this update haha

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

@james

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?

WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOSE?!

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.

Thanks for this, really appreciate you all who test and post the pics and videos! And LOVING the new containers! Shared the video!

[GreyArt247]

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

Omgggg I wish I had time to play this game 14 hours a day again. What a fun time it was
