    Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
    v1.19.4, a stable release, is now available to download through the account manager.

    Over 200 features, tweaks and fixes later, the 1.19.4 update looks in a good state to us now. The new First Person view (fp) mode introduced in 1.19 also looks to be in a decent state by now. Some areas still need fine tuning, but we'd like to believe it's now in a qualitatively better state than the hand-less fp mode of 1.18.

    Featured changes include a rebalancing of loot in ruins - obtaining clutter blocks is now more challenging and requires plentiful application of glue, but at the same time there is more variety in the smaller objects found in chests and containers among the ruins. We also added placeable hides, and a new wireframe color setting in the Accessibility tab to assist players with color vision impairments.

    Game updates

    All the changes from 1.19.4-rc.1, 1.19.4-rc.2 and 1.19.4-rc.3:

    • Feature: Clutter blocks shatter when broken, unless first repaired using glue
      • Clutter blocks can no longer be obtained with a 50% chance by breaking them, they now require repair in situ. Partially-repaired blocks have a chance of not shattering. Clutter blocks already obtained by players are safe from shattering
      • This shatter rule is configurable on a per-world basis (and is by default disabled in the Exploration play style). New world configuration option "Clutter obtainable"
      • Pitch glue can be made by cooking up resin and powdered charcoal. A pot of glue can be used to repair clutter blocks within ruins, simply right-click with the pot in the active hand
      • Glue hardens within a few hours after it is made, but hardened glue can be re-heated in a firepit. Players wanting to repair clutter may need to create a firepit close to the ruins
      • Cooking pots can now be used to cook non-food items; but cooking such substances in a pot will result in a "Residue-covered pot" which can never again be used for meal recipes: nobody likes to eat glue!
      • Powdered charcoal is made by grinding charcoal on a quern
    • Feature: "With great ruins comes great lootability"
      • A wider selection of loot is potentially available in chests and other containers within ruins, both on the surface and underground
      • Some containers may contain smaller clutter objects (if found in chests, these therefore can be obtained without any need to repair them)
      • A new cellar is included in one of the large ruins
    • Feature: Re-bindable mouse buttons (as first mentioned in the 1.19.0-rc1 news)
      • Any keyboard control or macro can now alternatively be configured to a mouse button [Detail: in Settings, Controls tab, click on any setting and then to set it, click a mouse button instead of a key.  Left, middle, right buttons and, for multi-button mice, up to 5 additional buttons are supported]
      • In-game left, right and middle mouse-clicks can be re-bound, either to different mouse buttons or to keyboard keys. For example left and right mouse buttons can be swapped, or for mice with only two buttons, a keyboard key can be used for middle clicking
      • Pick block is now re-bindable to any key or mouse button
    • Feature: In the Accessibility settings tab, knapping, clayforming, smithing voxel wireframe colors are now configurable between different presets. In addition to the standard setting, two alternative presets for these colors are provided, chosen for better contrast for players with certain types of color blindness (color vision anomaly)
    • Tweak: Hides are now 3D models, and can be placed on the ground
      • Raw hides will begin to rot after 5 days. Oiling or soaking the hide will prevent it from rotting.
    • Tweak: Improved visuals for barrels and troughs
      • New barrel models
      • Barrel contents appearance for raw vegetables more closely matches the actual vegetable (Cabbage, Carrot, Onion, Parsnip, Pumpkin, Turnip, and Bell pepper)
      • Improved appearance of some other items in barrels (Cooked bushmeat, fish, poultry, redmeat; raw mixed vegetable)
      • Vegetables in troughs now have the same appearance as vegetables in barrels, with some extra tweaks at the borders
      • Minor tweaks to appearance of both small and large troughs, and rot models
      • Fixed: grains in troughs did not use proper texture; dry grass (hay) in troughs had too much shadow
    • Tweak: Performance improvements: do more, with less!
      • Several memory optimizations, resulting in the game requiring less RAM overall, and fewer memory-related lag spikes:
        • Reduce server and singleplayer RAM usage around 250MB overall  [detail: Schematics used by ruins and villages are now cached and partly lazy-loaded]
        • Reduce climb in RAM usage on client when moving to new world areas
        • Additional loaded ruins and other schematics RAM optimisations, with larger savings when using certain mods
        • Mitigate rapidly climbing RAM usage and lag spikes resulting from it, especially when the same chunk had to be redrawn multiple times when blocks within a chunk were modified often. (Technical details: Reduced GC pressure by reduced heap allocation during chunk tesselation, by reusing instead of re-allocating MeshData objects. Can be disabled by adding the following new line in the boolSettings area of clientsettings.json: "disableMeshRecycler: true" or the corresponding .clientconfigcreate command, requires game restart to take effect)
        • Minor server-side RAM optimisations when saving or sending chunks
        • Minor RAM optimisations for Microblocks, Clutter etc.
        • Fixed: Slow cumulative memory leak on long-running game client, seen after many hours of play
        • Fixed: Lag spikes when starting to type in chat or handbook (only seen with RAM mode set to "Aggressively Optimize")
        • Fixed: Total memory use: the debug screen and /stats command showed too high a value, more than Task Manager showe
      • Reduce network usage in large-scale multiplayer games  [detail: Fewer entity position update packets for dropped items, dead creatures and other non-moving entities]
      • Minor optimisations to clayforming
      • Reduced client-side lag spikes from doors in newly loaded chunks
      • Fixed: Server was sometimes unnecessarily sending the same chunk to the client twice (e.g. following a teleport)
    • Tweak: Gameplay balancing
      • Soil, sand and stone mining resistance are all increased by 20% (take longer to mine), gravel resistance is decreased 20% [note: part of the thinking behind this is that obtaining these heavy materials should be more time-consuming, relative to obtaining wood or small blocks; it also helps block breaking time match up better with the shovel and pick animations in some cases; players and servers who preferred the old speeds can, if they like, adjust global mining speed for all blocks in world configs]
      • Cobblestone mining speed slowed, to be more in line with other stone materials; cobble stairs now mine at the same speed as other cobble blocks
      • Mountainous creatures (deer, goats, bighorn sheep) now take less fall damage, should mitigate issues when they flee off precipices
      • Chickens and chicks now take slightly less damage from falls, compared with other creatures
      • Entities (except when fleeing) now strongly avoid pathing through boiling water
      • Moose jump height is reduced to 2 blocks, less than most deer
      • Fancy linen patterns (square/offset/diamond pattern) are now a Tailor-exclusive grid recipe. Make them using normal linen, plus sewing kit, in various configurations. Any player can turn fancy linen back into the normal linen pattern using shears, in grid
      • Commodity trader no longer sells square/offset/diamond linen patterns, only normal
      • Cooking pots are shelf-storable
      • Whole pumpkins can no longer be placed in a trough as animal feed, they must first be sliced
      • Tule, cattail, and papyrus roots all now cook into the same food item: 'cooked wild rhizomes'
      • Tule now has plantable roots.  Tule, cattails, and papyrus now have planter and flowerpot models that respond to climate
      • Auto-close the trader dialog and trading window when a player moves out of range of the trader
      • Support beams placed on blocks can now be individually removed instead of all at once (not yet on chiseled blocks, sorry)
      • Chiseled blocks with beams on them, when broken, now only drop the beams in Survival mode
      • Meta blocks such as Command blocks and stack randomizers no longer drop when broken by players in Survival mode [note: in Survival mode, meta blocks are normally invisible and therefore untargetable by players, but players have a setting to enable visibility and targeting of such blocks, mainly intended for mod and map makers]
      • Fixed: .cam command was available to Survival players
    • Tweak: New first person mode tuning
      • In the Interface settings tab, players can now change the field of view for the first person mode hands, reduced default FoV from 90 to 75. This mitigates first person hands looking unnaturally long.
      • Better synced smithing sound and action
      • Added shield block pose when blocking with right hand
      • Added custom animations for the bug net and squeezing honeycombs
      • Added animation for inserting temporal gear with a knife (to restore the player's temporal stability)
      • More sluggish mouse movement and seraph model rotation while swimming
      • Tools now follow the player's cursor more closely in first person mode.
      • Less jarring transition back to tool ready position, after using a tool to hit

      • Fixes to some animations endlessly repeating after an action
        • Knife cut animation
        • Chisel ready animation, after switching from chisel to empty slot
        • Using torch to light a firepit, whenever a torch was then held
        • Torch in hand - could endlessly repeat instead of holding it out straight
        • Shield block pose not stopping when placing the shield on an armor stand
        • Player endlessly holstering spear after world reload
      • Fixed: Block edge sitting was sometimes triggered in the wrong places
      • Fixed: Block edge sitting looked strange in first-person if the camera is rotated beyond a normal neck angle; camera is now rotation-limited in this pose
      • Fixed: Hammer and chisel animation working properly again
      • Fixed: Hammer no longer clips into the camera when breaking blocks with it in the off-hand.
      • Fixed: First hit animations on spear now consistent with all subsequent hits
      • Fixed: Shovel ready animation now longer firmly attached
      • Fixed: Idle animations for lanterns and pumpkin fruit
      • Fixed: Melee attacks with weapons, at the same time as getting attacked, did not damage entities in some cases and played a weird animation

    • Tweak: Log an error if HeldRightReadyAnimation and HeldRightTpIdleAnimation for an item are set to the same animation
    • Tweak: New and updated stackrandomizers are available to allow random loot to be placed in containers in schematics; and these randomizers can be modded to add or change loot in vanilla ruins: for details see the randomizers in assets/survival/itemtypes/meta
    • Tweak: If an item specifies a renderVariant, and the shape cannot be found, log an error instead of crashing
    • Tweak: Modded spears should now include behavior "AnimationAuthoritative", see vanilla spear.json for an example

      • For AITasks, the EntityPartitioning system is now divided more logically into Creatures and Inanimate entities, use EnumEntitySearchType to specify which
      • For all string IndexOf(), StartsWith() or EndsWith() operations on strings representing game internal elements, for example AssetLocation, texture codes and other dictionary keys or anything found in JSON code, StringComparison.Ordinal should be used for culture independence.  See .NET Best Practice Guide.  Vintagestory.API.Util now provides helper methods string.IndexOfOrdinal(), string.StartsWithOrdinal() and string.EndsWithOrdinal() which you can use; and for AssetLocations, ordinal comparison is built-in to new convenience method AssetLocation.PathStartsWith()
      • Mods can access and change climbUpSpeed and climbDownSpeed in an entity's BehaviorControlledPhysics
      • Marked UsingHeldItemTransformBefore/After as obsolete

      • BlockEntity.GetBlockInfo() exceptions now trapped and logged, a simple error line is shown in the Block Info HUD
      • Exceptions thrown by ticking a BlockEntity are now logged with position of entity and type; override BlockEntity.TickingExceptionHandler to change this behavior
      • Exceptions thrown by BlockEntity.FromTreeAttributes() are now logged with position of entity and type
      • Any mod directly accessing BlockEntityMicroBlock.sideAlmostSolid or .sidecenterSolid should re-compile for 1.19.4 (no actual code change in the mod should normally be required, but the field type changed, pull latest VSSurvivalMod source from GitHub)
      • Notice: For coded mods using native binaries (.dll in Windows) in a /native folder, these will now not get loaded automatically (they would produce 'Bad IL format' errors at loading time anyhow). Applies to native binaries representing either libraries or a mod's own code not written in C#. Mods needing to load native binaries should instead write their own short DllImportResolver method [example] to locate their native binaries properly for each platform, and also include a static call to set that DllImportResolver [example line of code]

    Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
    v1.19.4-rc.3, a release candidate, is now available to download through the account manager.

    Here's a thing to fix more things, also sorry for breaking some working things. In other news, seems like a lovely Korean version of 100 days in Vintage Story is going viral currently. This release fixes a garbled text issue with Korean translations (and adds 2 new languages!) Thank you so much for contributing translations, community! Also, hi Korean players, glad to have you around! 👋 💚

    In some weird way, it almost feels like the game's come full circle. Saraty and me used to play Maple Story around 2008, as a way to stay connected during the times where we had a difficult long-distance relationship. Maple Story was created by Nexon, a company founded in South Korea. Our company name, Anego Studios, is a homage to the times I played Maple Story. Anego was one of the bosses I used to grind at. To this day, still one of my fondest memories in gaming.
