- 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.
- 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.
- Add a bit of stone to the tip of a wooden tool to harden it.
- Stone tools wear back down to their wooden originals.
- Stone tools dig faster, but wear quickly, so you need to pay
attention to wear levels and carry spare stone tips.
Also:
- Nerfed mining speeds again, but made higher-tier tools much
faster relative to lower.
- Nerfed tool durability as well.
Also:
- Standardized item ejection logic.
Try to place items into existing stacks when searching for a
settling location.
Try to launch items from reasonable corners of a source node in
item_eject so they don't self-collide and end up in one pile.
- Make check/resolve functions naturally paired instead of having
to test the "check" value, so we can use the "check" value for
more specific parameter stuff.
- Make existing pummel logic use a standard tool speed check.
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.
Iron ore is distributed in sheets. The ore itself will not be
exposed to the air (or any other material other than stone) but
can be detected by the rusty tint it gives nearby rocks.
Iron ore is a stone that yields cobble infused with iron.
Smelting processes to produce steels are TBD.
- Clean up utils into multiple files.
- Standardize limited ABM.
- Standardize debug trace handling. Instead of using chat_send_all
to debug, and then having to remember to remove before release,
allow privileged players to receive all server debug messages.
