Important Update 0.6.3 - A Player Reborn

Hype!

 

yaaaaay

 

Awesome update!

 

were there some changes to the map itself?

 

Great! Can't wait to get home and have my fair share of crashes.
But seriously guys, this looks amazing. Maybe I will actually use those railings myself, and I really like the new plank blocks!
I'm not yet quite sure though what I should think about the revised food system. I will have to try out.

 

Due to optimizations of environmental object groups, there were some minor and major density changes, for example, outer forests are much less dense, so the transition from open grassland into deep forest will be more gradual. Also, there are more separate palm trees in tropical biome.

Additionally, we swapped gold and silver deposits, that was missed in the change log. There was a mistake before in the sizes of deposits, generated for precious ores, I guess everyone noticed that gold was pretty abundant, while silver remained super-rare, that was exact opposite of how it was designed and now it finally made it right. It was intentionally postponed to be released with 0.6.3, since it's a big change, but we had to make it. The downside of that is that your gold mines will become silver mines now and vice versa.

 

Carts are still bunked. Just tested this in creative. smh
(reported this issue clear back in early December just fyi)

 

Fast Travel enabled, limitation removed, message by the game

Would you like to travel to unclaimed area for 1 Food?
You have 121 Food

Nothing is happening.

 

I love everything mentioned about the food system. the whole 0 hunger health system is convenient.

this system

sounds much more well thought out.

 

Yeah fast travel is killing us on our RP server.
We are unable to fast travel at all, not even in our own Kingdoms. This system got broke good. The rest of the update looks good so far.

It has affected some of the MODS too. All of our water is now purple, which explains the red fish.
The inside of the candle lamps are also purple, must be because of the fish oils from the red fish from the purple water.
and ALL our AI Defenders are gone, which hit us hard in the gold and silver area.

Hope the Moders can update their awesome MODs quickly and we hope the Fast Travel gets fixed ASAP.

 

Looks like a great new set of possibilities, apart from new building content, you guys created there for future developments and or modders alike.

Good stuff, well worth waiting for, thanks guys.

Greets,

Jan

 

Hey, what exactly is broken about FT? It doesn't work at all, or you are falling to your deaths? What's going on?
Which server are you guys on, I'd like to connect to test, though I'll do that tomorrow morning.

 

Fast Travel is not working at all, I'll send you a PM with server Info.
You go through all the steps, have food in your inventory and when pick your spot to travel to nothing happens.
**Update**
Our server owner found a second update on Steam so he updated the server we can now Fast Travel within our Kingdoms but still can't FT to another Kingdom.

OK we have figured out the issue with Fast Travel and food and there is no problem other than we didn't know how the new system worked, now that our brains our fixed, everyone is happy once again. Again thank you for another wonderful update.

 

How will this affect old saves? How much will this affect mods? Should we disable mods until bugs have been worked out? I really like this game but the little info out there for new players is confusing & usually outdated, leading to frustrating building experiences. However I'm still a big fan & waiting for a more detailed wiki.

 

Operator Timing and Headspace... a slap to the head worked...

 

Wow, now that's a nice looking update! Been awhile since I've played (but little worries, I've been on SE still supporting you guys haha), but now I might start a new game on here again. Can't wait to see all the awesome things added in the future

 

Congrats for that awesome update. I am very pleased to find a round wooden balustrade block, which I have been missing as early as two years ago. Among other things pleasing here. You must have been gnawing at your nails, not being allowed to publish teasers about this update while nearing the release time.

Not really. We wanted to release it 3 weeks ago but it was too buggy. So Deepflame went on his vacation and I just made sure the team fixed the bugs. Then we moved on to other things... It's amazing how fast you stop wanting to tell people about a thing when you're not working on it anymore. I mean we have other things to not tell you about now

Usually, it depends when we have new things working and in the build - when it is new for us. We had the new blocks in early and the stat system has been functional for a while. The stats took quite a few tries to get everything working the way the designers wanted. The newest feature is the toolbar multi-select. That happened when the toolbar behavior started failing. We worked on it for three or four days and suddenly we had this new multi-selection happening that opened up some interesting new behaviors with the torch. We managed to get torch and cube placer to dual equip. The input behavior is inconsistent based on the order they are equipped (hint: equip the torch first) but we included it anyway because this helps a lot with building in the early game when you might not be able to make any other kind of torch. We've been working on 0.6.3 since 0.6.2 was released on 9 Jan.

 

I also have the FT problem. after the update FT doesn't work at all. Only in dedicated server. Single player is not a Problem. The message like MaxTheBuilder posted appears and by clicking on yes nothing happens.

Couldn't figure out what I did wrong so far.

 

what is that jingle sound about? it sometimes can be heard, there is no mentioning in the patch notes?

 

ARGGHHH - here comes the teasing! So shortly after this update strike, it's really cruel from KEEN's part to tease about another!

 

That is an absolutely awesome update! Thanks for the content and the hard work!

 

I have been trying to figure that out for a month but I haven't really been paying attention to it. If you can't figure it out then report it as unexplained or buggy behavior in bug reports. Honestly, if none of us can figure it out then it's wrong.

 

It's when a new skin-pod drops on an asteroid in the orbit of the planet. Since we cannot yet reach it they will pile up unless they despawn. I am aiming for a new badger skin for the sword!

I do have a question about the update, there use to be areas where Gold and Silver ores were laying on the ground, they seem to be gone. We use to be able to pick them up and a few days later they would reappear, this is not happening now. Was this part of the update? If so how do we find locations now to dig if there are no indicators where deposits are?

 

stumbled in a zone over some gold nuggets, started to dig, took me 4 hours of gaming time, 5 pickaxes to dig everything up. result: more than 2200 gold nuggets, 500 iron nuggets. some areas do not have a single iron ore vein. tried to support a player via admin tool to find one, 1 hour of search without any success. even the neighboring zones had no visible iron ore vein in range. player had to move. without fast travel a real pain.

FT is still not working

 

What is the location where you couldn't find any ore?

Fast travel works as intended. Walk to a road, eat some food, travel.
