Here it is, the final patch of ClickCrafter’s first Steam Playtest! This patch brings heaps of new content, bugfixes, QoL changes, and more; it more or less closes out the first “tier” of the Island and hopefully leaves you desperate to explore the newly opened second tier! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Playtest so far; with hundreds of testers and dozens of reports filed, the participation (and reception for the game) has been inspiring!
After this week, the Playtest will continue to proceed while work on the game’s public Demo begins. Anyone who is interested in continuing to playtest should subscribe to updates on onewinter.net, where any new patch notes will be posted (alongside the game’s main page on Steam). Thanks again to everyone for participating, and stay tuned for updates on the game’s forthcoming Steam Demo!
Patch Notes for ClickCrafter 0.2.6
Fixed Bugs
Fixed bug where the Copper Rings tower height affected the cursor’s computed world position; this caused placed buildings in the area to have too high of a Y position; which, coupled with the orthographic camera view, could cause items to disappear off the bottom of the screen when scrolling around (since they were too close to the camera, effectively)
Recipes that output more than one of the same item work properly now
Max Auto Saves value has an effect
Fireflies rate on beach is saved/loaded
Ensure Mana/Fuel storage can’t go below 0
Balance Changes
Iron Brazier and Copper Rings requirements have been further reduced
Starting camera speed has been bumped up
The player also receives a second speed boost after repairing the Stone Bridge
First camera sprint upgrade has been bumped to feel more impactful
Crafter Fuel algorithm tweaked to burn through mana while crafting more quickly
New Content / Aesthetics
New unlockables:
Sand Spawner Speed Up
Mana Spawner Speed Up
AutoClick Speed Up
AutoMiners (Wood, Stone, Iron, Copper): drop Mana on Resource Wells (such as the Wood Grove) to passively generate their resource
New story cutscenes, camera bounds, music after Copper Rings repaired (to close out playtest content)
Stone Quarry model redesigned for better distinction between building and spawned items
New beach runes and lore for Iron Brazier and Copper Rings
Add new vfx to fixed Lower Ruins shop, Windmill, Stone Bridge
Adjust mana shield vfx position / size
Quality of Life Improvements
Landmarks around the Island have had their grid space usage reduced, which should result in more usable buildable space
Item Keep Apart algorithm and parameters tweaked for performance / aesthetics
Some World Space UIs have been adjusted:
Crafters now have 2 progress bars, for Fuel/Mana and Crafting Percent Complete (instead of icons with number values)
Fuel Needed / Ingredients Needed / Crafting In Progress statuses should now be easier to read based on combination of icon and bar red tinting (or lack thereof)
Mana Focus progress bar changed to blue to match crafter fuel/mana bar
Camera bounds tweaked more
Crafter Recipe Info card now displays time to craft on recipe icon, rather than as a separate input requirement
The first AutoPick of a sequence should now fire more quickly, making it even easier to hoover up large groups of items
Known Issues
Shop / landmarks can eat extra ingredient(s) after final needed ingredient is dropped, before recipe is reset
Coming Soon / Other Roadmap Plans & Ideas
Deleteable Buildables
Recipe / Item Tooltips
Categories / filtering for shop(s)

Crafter Mana (Fuel) Efficiency Up
Mana Focus Conversion Efficiency Up

Auto Distributors (throwers)
