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.
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.
Allow the "above" node to override the "under"
node's description. Use this mechanism to
append charcoal glyph descriptions to the
touchtips, but only when punching a face that
has a glyph on it.
Making hand dig everything broke logic that was
depending on things being "not hand diggable".
Continue to treat things as not-hand-diggable if they
would take a long enough time to dig.
- Unbake the scaling tweak from models, apply it
using mesh scaling in MT instead.
- Standardize ratio definition in one place.
- Default all nodeboxes to winning z-fights.
Automatic z-fighting prevention was causing some
nodes to fail to connect to neighbors due to the tiny
gaps. Allow certain nodes to "win" the z-fight instead
so they also connect to neighbors properly.
When you have a thing in your hand that doesn't help
you dig a node, but you can dig that node by hand,
then apparently the after_use callback still seems to
trigger, causing the rake effect, and wear-out.
Don't allow writing on surfaces of nodes that can transmit
light, which includes:
- Glass, which is too slick.
- Non-solids like frames, shelves, totes, which aren't flat enough.
Once a writing node has been scrawled, hold your charcoal and...
- punch it to change between the 8 glyphs
- right-click it to change between 4 to 8 rotations
