v alpha 0.26

Some highlights of the update

More item information

This update shows much more information about the item when hovered over, mainly to reduce the amount of guesswork on what the item does, and make it slightly easier for new players on launch day to get into the game. Here's what it looks like with a fuel-based item: For a bow: And for a workbench: This goes on for nearly all item types.

Death mechanics

The player will now lose half their items on death. If it's an item that can't be a fraction or stack to more than one item such as swords or pickaxes, that item is lost upon death. The only exception is the compass. When the player respawns, a gravestone will spawn at the location of death, which can be seen on the compass if the gravestone is in the same cave layer as the player. Retrieving those items will require the player to break the gravestone. Here's what the gravestone looks like:

World Generation

Tierra

• Copper and Tin ore no longer generate on the plains biome, primarily to contrast the surface from the caves in terms of resources, and add incentives to go to the caves.
• Tin ore will no longer generate at layer 1 in the dirt cave biome, also to contrast layer 2 from layer 1.

Luna

• Dark asteroids now generate across the surface.

Aquatica

• A new type of coral can now generate in the kelp forest caves and oceanic caves, most commonly at temperatures between 6°C and 22°C, and between cave layers 5 and 20.
• Narrowed the range of temperatures that marine berries can generate to between 15°C and 40°C, mostly generating in the 25°C and 30°C range.

Miscellaneous

• Renamed "Enhancers" to "Gadgets".

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where changing temperature and pressure units from the menu in-game doesn't update immediately.
• Fixed a bug where evaporative coolers or campfires don't save their inventories and their respective heating effects.
• Fixed a bug where items with partial durability dropped on the ground render their progress bars abruptly large before shrinking to their normal size.

As a reminder, the launch is 30 days away, exactly a month from now! Stay tuned for the launch :)
