Build 0.1.5.0 is up! There are lots of new things to check out in this build.
New Content:
New Crafting Tree: Botany
NOTE: You'll need to start a new game in order to acquire the seeds from the chests to fully utilize this tree.
It is now possible to grow your own plants using the items in this tree. It takes a bit of work to keep the plants growing happily, which will be a key driver of the need to upgrade to automated machines and systems later on.
New Items
There are quite a few new obtainable items in the game now, as a part of the new crafting tree:
Tabbed Crafting Menu
Each crafting tree now gets it's own tab in the crafting table. This should make it easier to find the recipe you are looking for, and will help guide new players to the early-game items.
Guidebooks
Each crafting tree can now have a guidebook that will display relevant information about that tree. The first tree to include a guidebook is the Botany tree.
Better Block Rotation
This will not be the last iteration of block placing and rotation, but I've added the ability to rotate blocks in 2 axis using the Numpad keys, which is an improvement over the old system.
Invert Mouselook
Several of you have asked for this feature, and I've added it to the game. If can be found in the settings menu.
Other Fixes and Changes
-Fixed placing behavior for crafting benches
-All menu settings should save and restore now
-Fixed: Benches now properly shut off their audio when a construction is halted by removing an item from bench
-Furnace health has been buffed
-Added tooltips for various blocks to indicate source in world and use
I hope you like the new content, and as always, if you have feedback I would love to hear it.
