1.22.0-rc.1 - Fishing, Mechanisms, Metalworking and More!

Dear Extraordinary Survivalists
v1.22.0-rc.1, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.

In this update we focused on cramming as much new content into one update as we possibly could. Reminder - the "rc" in the version number stands for "release candidate" which means our team's focus will now shift to bugfixing and game balancing until stable. Expect some level of jankiness still. Rivers and Sawmills did not make it in time for 1.22 unfortunately (they are still in progress) but even without these, this update is possibly the largest we ever made in terms of game content. Enjoy!
 

Can I start playing 1.22 now?
We are decently confident that your old worlds will not break. Please wait with upgrading to 1.22 until we fixed newly introduced worldgen issues. Even so, we highly recommend making a backup copy of your 1.21 worlds before upgrading the game to 1.22. If you want to be on the safe side, wait until 1.22.0 stable. And if you tried out our earlier pre-releases, continuing a 1.22.0-pre world is not recommended.

v1.22 still unfinished / known issues
The large bellows cannot yet be powered through the mechanical power system. There are z-fighting and clipping issues with the new clothing for the seraph and trader. Some of the trader clothing combinations are too random. The new dynamic dungeons will not drop when broken and some parts are unfinished. Various other minor issues.

Added the first iteration of dynamic dungeons to Survival mode


Fully reworked Trader models

Added many new clothing sets for the player

Full reworked berry bushes

Game updates

• Everything listed in the pre.1 post plus everything below
• Feature: A first, proof-of-concept fully dynamic dungeon now spawns in Survival mode. They appear far apart from each other, roughly every 1500 blocks
• Feature: Fully reworked trader models. Added climate specific clothing for traders
• Feature: Added many new clothing sets to be found, traded or crafted. (WIP)
• Feature: Fully reworked berry bushes. Pre-1.22 berry bushes are now legacy blocks: they will no longer be available in the Creative inventory, but any in existing worlds are still functional blocks in-game
  • Fully reworked models
  • Can only be propagated by taking a cutting with a knife which when planted takes 6 to 12 months to mature into a new bush
  • Berry bushes require fertilization or they will stop bearing fruit. Berry bush nutrient use tapers off by 15% per year (resulting in about 5% use after 20 years). Some bone meal each year should be enough to give you a decent harvest
  • A handful of rare traits will be added in the next release candidate - traits propagate to the cutting taken
  • Flowering/Ripening behavior still mostly similar to the old system
• Feature: Added 'ruined' torch holders. They will hold torches, but if broken will not drop themselves
• Feature: Can now mount shields on wall mounts
• Feature: Some fish - arapaimas, pike, piranhas, and sheatfish - may attack players if cornered. Red-bellied piranhas are especially aggressive towards injured players
• Feature: Hematite and Limonite nuggets can now be used for cave art and writing, in colors 'red ochre' and 'yellow ochre' respectively
• Tweak: Players are now visible on the map up to 1000 blocks away or if in a shared group, by default

• Tweak: Increase dynamic lights detection range from 60 to 120 blocks
• Tweak: Add a bit of extra brightness near a held/dynamic light source
• Tweak: Lightning flash visual tuning. Lights up the world from a greater distance and a bit more realistically
• Tweak: Cleavers now have a non-functional 'head' item like most other tools, and must be combined with a stick to make the complete tool. Also revised the cleaver model to have 1:1 pixel scale (previously was 50% scale)
• Tweak: Quern shows grinding outputs on handbook page
• Tweak: Tuned seraph idle animations
• Tweak: Can now add linings or change the color of glass for small lanterns in ground storage
• Tweak: Added fish bones item, which is functionally equivalent to existing tiny bones (cannot be used for handles or in armor) but looks fish-appropriate.
• Tweak: Added new ground crafting sounds, for scraping soaked hides with knife, trimming small or medium scraped hides into parchment using shears, carving a bone into a flute, removing the head from a bear pelt, and sawing a raw longbow stave into a raw recurve stave using a saw
• Tweak: Copper roofing grid recipe yield doubled, except that tips are now individually made from a single copper plate
• Tweak: In the Handbook, for materials created by grinding, show the quern in "Created by" section
• Tweak: Breaking blocks adjacent to and below water flow, may now cause the water to flow into the newly made gap
• Tweak: The Devastation Tower elevator now prevents falling through when going down
• Tweak: Performance - Faster recipe matching with reduced memory usage. Should fix lag spikes on the server and client when crafting or using the handbook
• Tweak: Performance: Less CPU cost for unpacking chunks, creating packets etc - main benefits on large multiplayer servers
• Tweak: Rusty gears now have a pile model that holds up to 64 gears. The old-style piles of gears will still be found in ruins, but player-placed piles will be more orderly, and larger capacity

• Tweak: Handbook search now shows results more closely matched to what was typed

• Tweak: Removed unused 'eidolon gearbox' item from the game
• Tweak: Firestarter can now be burned in a firepit
• Tweak: Allow candles to be removed from an existing bunch of candles without breaking it
• Tweak: Male goats in general will not use the very smallest horn models, better differentiating them from females
• Tweak: Copper shingle blocks now have a grid recipe. The shingle blocks blocktype json was moved from 'metal' folder to 'roofing' folder
• Tweak: Grid recipes which produce roofing half-blocks now produce two halves, rather than one
• Tweak: Can now also chisel block combine in the chisel tool mode, not only in the crafting grid
• Tweak: Blocks with the pillar behavior now display their orientation in the chisel tool mode material selector
• Tweak: Added a (preliminary) handbook entry for berry bushes, explaining their propagation and care
• Tweak: Add a bit of extra brightness near a held/dynamic light source

• In both cases each of the inner sets can also have a set of forbidden tags that is always disjunctive. The syntax for using these in json follows one simple rule: If no junction verb is specified, the group is treated as conjunctive (a and b and c)
• examples:
  [["all", "of", "these"]]
  [["all", "of", "these"], (or) { allOf: ["all", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }]
  { allOf: ["all", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }
  { anyOf: ["any", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }
  { anyOf: [["all", "of", "these"], { allOf: ["all", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }] }
  { allOf: [["anyOf", "of", "these"], (and) { anyOf: ["any", "of", "these"], noneOf: ["any", "of", "these"] }] }11:20 AM
  these can be used in recipe ingredients and entiy behaviors for now* Replacement Tag System
