- Made grass from peat more common
- Flowers spontaneously grow on humus under sun
- Sedges spontaneously grow on grass
- Rushes can spawn near water and sedges
Instead of digging the glue off by hand and freeing
up the optic to rotate again, it must be fully dug by
a tool, to further prevent accidental ungluing.
If you have enough glowing prills in a stack, then
making a lode cube always takes precedence over
"stone anvil" hot-forging recipes. If players want to
make toolheads they'll just have to make sure they
don't have excess amounts of lode in the stack; it's
a good reason to eventually switch to cold-forging
on tempered anvils anyway.
Look for optic_lens_emit group instead of explicit
lens_on node, to support multiple lens beam emitting
nodes (e.g. glued/unglued) for firestarting, door
ablation, etc.
Apparently time-of-day is sent to clients purely on
a fixed time interval, so the warning about extra
network traffic was incorrect. We can just forcibly
set time of day each tick entirely server-side without
any ill effects on network clients.
It seems that there may be some cases where hint alerts are not
detected immediately (e.g. due to changes in eligibility rules)
and thus not displayed until the player discovers some other
random thing, and then they get a bunch of alerts together.
Instead, just do some casual background scanning of all online
players and update hints as necessary continuously to catch
any missed cases.
This was a workaround for a bug that it never actually really
addressed that caused stack fires to rage out of control. It
turned out the bug was a special case item duplication, and it
was actually fixed long ago.
Allow stacks of things to be burned for all their embers/ash
again, and also for more devastating shelf-fire disasters.
When bypassing custom on_place logic and
skipping directly to "place as node" logic, also
allow nodes to customize their "place as node"
logic with another hook, which the tote can use
to ensure it's rebuilt when door-placed.
Finally use the new Forms to craft shelves
using a 2-component recipe, and replace the
old 3x3 recipes. This affects:
- Wood shelves
- Clear glass cases
- Float glass cases
- Lode crates
- Tote handles
For now, we're just going with the simplest
recipe of just putting an item into the form.
If players want to store things in the form
without assembling a shelf, they'll have to
remember to drop items in through the top
only.
Forms may have served a purpose as makeshift
storage when actual shelves are too expensive
but this is NOT their purpose. They are
primarily intended as crafting ingredients for
proper storage, and secondarily as hoppers for
stack-fed machines. Any ability to use them as
actual player-controlled storage devices is
purely coincidental and not guaranteed.
When this was setup, it was named generically
in order to support future functionality that
used the same heating/tempering/annealing
mechanics. Ironically this has actually only
caused problems.
Standard game mechanics will not mimic one
another, especially something this complex.
Anything worth making a system for nodecore
that's as complex as lode-working deserves its
own distinct mechanics rather than recycling
lode-working. So vanilla NC will not reuse the
metal-working logic anyway.
Mods were able to reuse the existing logic, but
ironically the only one mod that would actually
have benefitted from it (i.e. uses very similar
heating/tempering/annealing) just copied and
pasted the code from NodeCore anyway, which
not only didn't take advantage of the existing
mechanic provided, but actually made the mod
break the game when installed, because the
mod would replace functionality in use by
vanilla with an older version, and the copying
will always keep that functionality locked in to
an older version, breaking whenever future
changes to the base mechanic are made.
Rename the base mechanic to (1) get out of
the way of the existing mod, and (2) make it
more clear that this is NOT generic functionality
that can be used to create new metals, but
only specifically for lode, and if somebody else
wants a clone of this logic, they would need to
rename it to make sense.
