- Expanded fire api, added "check" varieties of things that also perform relevant checks for eligibility. Standardized testing for ventilation. - Snuff embers to coals as fuel. - Fuel is consumed randomly by flames. This means that fuel that are surrounded by flame burn out quicker, while flames surrounded by fuel consume fuel from each node slower. This adds subtlety to furnace design for efficiency.
======================================================================== CORE DESIGN PRINCIPLES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Do as much in node-space in the world as possible. - Minimize use of off-grid entities. - Avoid encapsulating things in inventories, machines, GUIs. - Crafting and transforming in-world. - Minimal set of primitive composable functions. - Each node should do one job (or one part of a job). - Only include the most primitive, fungible components. - Avoid redundant functionality, include fewest possible different elements. - Complex emergent gameplay by combining simple nodes. - Challenging and constrained gameplay. - Limited inventories, very restricted item storage, e.g. one stack per node. - Large, complex machines to design and build for resource transformations. - Subtle environmental hazards, like deadfalls and pestilence. - Rich, subtle interactions. - Digging, placing, punching and battering. - Different effects from different tools (including empty hand). - Different faces of node may have different effects. - Focus on puzzle-oriented single-player/cooperative gameplay. - Avoid dependence on action, combat, PvP. - Slow-moving hazards, players have a chance to think and plan. - Acessible for slow reflexes, slow networks, mobile devices. ........................................................................ ========================================================================
