- There is now a thin "background" amount of lode at all depths,
so you should never dig too large a stata without finding
anything at all.
- Ore is now not only more plentiful at depth, but also packed
into denser clusters, so you have to mine for longer before
finding a huge deposit.
- Included new content.
- Partially converted to base on recipes instead of just items.
- Added support for group and toolcap checks.
Fixed a number of small bugs elsewhere in the process.
Consistent with everything else in the world, we assume that "cube"
is the default state for things to be in (this is NodeCore after
all) and only use shape descriptors for things like lumps, prills
and other non-cube versions of things that also exist as cubes.
- Don't generate in high terrain above y = 32 at all.
- Increase concentraion through 7 different strata moving downwards
up until max concentration at y = -4096. This creates incentives
for digging deep instead of just staying at surface.
Using an exponentially-distributed random variable for lode prill
yield. This results in approximately the same average yield as
before, but with many pieces of ore yielding disappointingly only
1 prill, but a few yielding more, theoretically almost infinitely
more. Every smelting operation now has a bit of a gambling thrill
aspect to it.
- Apply stratification last in shared mapgens, so it can see all
already-placed ores.
- Support stratification for nodes other than plain stone.
- Register lode stone and lode ore for stratification.
- Make node match operate on only one of node or stack, depending
on whether node defers to stack via is_stack_only. This should
hopefully prevent future pummel recipe issues.
- Add new core stack API. Needs to be deployed in a lot of places.
- Start work on system for allowing flammable containers; they
eject their potentially non-flammable contents.
Non-cubic nodes wreak havoc with falling items and stacks. The
general need for slabs can be worked around by increasing the
player's stepheight allowing traversal of normal terrain without
jumping. Unfortunately this will only work in 5.0+, which should
hopefully be released soon.
- Eggcorn cleanup. They look a little better falling out of the
tree, and we don't have so many now.
- Crushing damage fixes. Crushing is nuanced now, and most things
don't smush you, and many do reduced damage. A few may do more.
- Item stack convenience. Items landing on a stack or right-
clicked onto one attempt to merge into it.
- Ladders now fall (they don't connect to sides). Use the new
full-scale frames for ones that don't.
- Defined nodes, slabs, and prills of lode.
- Heating lode ore releases hot lode prills.
- Lode things in stack can air-cool to anneal or water-quench to
harden/temper. Cooling of placed nodes/slabs is planned.
- Hot items cannot be carried; picking them up causes damage and
causes player to drop them.
