Initial proof-of-concept writing system. It's barely usable/playable. I'm not happy with how disjoint it is from the existing crafting system, for little gain; there's a lot of on_nodepunch logic that was added for this. It also doesn't play very well. Major issues: - Awkward collision with existing logic, e.g. taking things from shelves, then drawing on side of shelf. Probably need a group specifically for writable sufaces. - Single action to rotate through all glyphs is bad. Probably want one to change through the 8 shapes, and another to change rotation/reflection. - Erasure is awkward, inconsistent, and not necessarily reliable. Should make it possible to recover charcoal in most cases, and use a unified set of hooks for it... Should glyphs be pointable and run logic directly on node, or should we keep it point-through...? 2019-04-01 19:15:01 -04:00			`-- LUALOCALS < ---------------------------------------------------------`

Soil leaching now requires raked soils This is a design compromise to knock out the worst offender in ABM cost, by requiring a node that must be created by player action instead of ubiquitous naturally-occuring nodes that all need to be checked. Leaching is really meant to be more of a minor gameplay element anyway, for either skyblock purposes, or for people who are bored enough that they want to take on a challenge like a neutral eco footprint; most normal players just gather the materials from mapgen and hardly bother with leaching recipes anyway. 2021-12-11 11:25:18 -05:00			`include("leaching")`
Redistribute hints into each mod Hints themselves have not been tided up much, but this makes the project of fixing the hints for each mod a little more manageable and breaks up the hard-to-navigate single monolithic hints file in the old guide mod. The old guide mod has now been completely retired. Hints are now a full-fledged API-layer standard feature. 2020-09-04 19:07:45 -04:00			`include("hints")`
