Automation
Find a Printer Nozzle in one of the challenge chests to get started! Crafting a Pipe Printer will let you print pipes that can be used to link chests & crafting stations together for automatic smelting, milling, cooking, and printing!
- Auto-printers have replaced 3D printers, and can be used to craft a preset recipe when connected to automation
- Item Filters can be used to automatically sort items
- Crafting station UI no longer needs to be open in order for auto-crafting to work. Just link a generator up to a furnace, mill, or printer, and let it roll!
- Irrigation is significantly improved, and now uses the same systems as automation to transport fluids
Status effects & temperature
- Status effect system reworked - using elemental weapons will now fill an enemy’s Status Bar with heat, cold, corrosion, static - when filled, powerful status effects are applied! It’ll take longer to fill the status bars of big enemies.
- Temperature UI reworked - you can now see each temperature/hazard source and its amplitude on the temperature UI.
- New mouse tooltip style added, for describing elemental/environmental hazards.
Event improvements
- Rainbow spawns have been significantly improved - they'll no longer spawn in weird corners or outside the bounds of the skybox!
- Comets reworked - they now apply frost with a new projectile pattern and drop Frozen Essence. You’ll need to destroy them before they explode!
- HUD now shows event health bar
- Meteor Shower drops improved - no longer require sunstone dust to forge thermium ingots
Tutorial improvements
- Many ‘event’ style tutorials have been replaced with ‘tips’ on the sidebar. You can adjust the frequency of tips in settings.
- Players now start with Survival Woperator
- Helperbot is less obtrusive
Climbing and movement tweaks
- Climbing down one block tunnels no longer results in animation errors
- Climbing can be started while player is still on the ground
- Climbing ropes down one block tunnels no longer results in stuttering movement
- Jumping from ropes and ladders improved
- Double jumps are no longer used when the player jumps while a few pixels off of the ground
- Cayote time improved
- Tree climbing improved
Tool improvements
- Still not entirely happy with the UX here - but it’s definitely harder to accidentally water the wrong thing!
- Frostjet and Thermal Drill now apply status effects to enemies
- Blocks can now be placed on top of structures.
- Hammer targeting improved
Misc:
- Lots of new item art & optimizations
- Floating Islands are now larger and less common. Should reduce confusion when events trigger on top of floating islands.
- Decorative leaf blocks added
