- Refactor player knowledge into player mod, to declutter API.
- Move player knowledge into mod storage so players don't need to
be connected to access. Old knowledge will be reset, but I
doubt there was very much of it to lose.
- Start gathering some basic stats.
- Main glaring omission is player moving and idle time.
Try to standardize the way we handle tools, materials, digtimes.
- Levels start at 1 and work upwards.
- Level 1 is for "hand" or "primitive" tools.
- Levels 2+ are wood, stone, metal, etc.
- Link dig times, tool levels, and durability together.
- Material groups now define standard "base dig times" which
are the main thing that makes e.g. stone harder to dig than dirt.
The speed of digging almost everything will probably have changed,
in some cases not for the better; much testing will be needed.
- There are now 6 degrees of embers. Better fuel sources will
make better embers.
- Embers differ only in lifespan; each class lasts twice as long
as the previous. Top-grade fuels may last 15 minutes or
longer.
- Embers decay stochastically.
- Embers decay 16x as fast when smothered, but still go through
the same lifecycle.
Also:
- Plain ash now reposes.
There are no infinite fuel sources, nor are any specifically
planned at this time.
This actually makes it a little easier to start a fire, in case
the node we picked to send sparks to isn't flammable enough; the
fire here may last long enough that, depending on ABM timing,
nearby tinder may catch fire anyway.
