- Regular update November 5, 2024 - 6 November 2024
We've been cooking up this patch for a large helping of months so far, mostly going over the code for performance improvements with lots of mobs and resources. The game should also look and sound a little nicer! Import changes: Many performance improvements: loading is faster, higher amounts of mobs, resources, animations, and end-game structures impact framerate less New potion upgrades, raised requirements for all upgrades and made more upgrade useful New sounds and more sound reactivity Minor changes: Mobs and resources are more transparent while building to improve clarity Merchant and upgrade menus slide in Bugfixes with liquid refineries, endgame visual bugs fixed Smoother loads for certain builds Rearranged menus The game will ask before it overrides your save Weapon info is more descriptive Some parts of tutorial are more intuitive Functional bug reporter As an aside, if you use…
- Regular Update Feb 4th - 4 February 2024
Important changes: New potion types & upgrades Can manually choose the output direction for basic, smart, and electric assemblers using a toggle Mana "generator" that provides a constant output of mana, as opposed to the inconsistent output of pressure plates Two new weapon sounds Three new tracks: Goblin' gems, Death contraption safety inspection, and Beetlejuice Grinder Bugfixes & Performance: New saves should no longer have the bug where some islands do not spawn Slight performance increase as item count increases Fixed discord icon, added in wiki to the main page
