Allow up to 2% wear. Sometimes you're diggng with a stone tool and
the tip breaks off and you don't notice (there's no sound yet),
so you accidentally dig a little with the wood tool and get it a
little dirty. Let's be a little forgiving, and allow the stone
tip applicaton to also apply a little "repair" to the underlying
wood tool.
- 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.
- 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.
Presumably this will change in the future, but it's also not
a given that we should have a falling or rotating version of the
tree (or that it should also split to planks).
