Seeds & Circuits 0.2.1
0.2.1 is out.
- NewBuilds: share what you built on the website with structure.share (it gets a picture of the build automatically), add other players' builds to your game there, and paste them in creative mode from the new Builds tab in the item picker.
- NewModpacks: a mod that's only a list of other mods installs them all, and uninstalling it removes the ones it installed. An Example Pack holds every example mod.
- NewMods: mods installed because another mod needs them now belong to that mod: they don't clutter your mod list, turn on and off with it and are uninstalled with it.
- NewAfter taking a screenshot, press F4 to submit it to the website, where approved shots show on the front page.
- NewLinux version: download it from the Downloads page; it updates itself like the Windows one.
- NewOlder versions can become free: they play without an account, update only to other free versions, and only play with others on a free version.
- NewWebsite: the Mod Kit can be downloaded from the Downloads page too.
- NewThe Changelogs link in the update message opens straight to the changes in the version on offer, snapshots included.
- NewBlocks placed on bumpy, mostly flat ground settle the ground around them, so floors sit in it like a foundation; take the blocks away and the ground goes back as it was.
- NewTorches, candles and lanterns can stand on the workbench, research table and decoder.
- NewChests stack: aim at the top of a chest to place another on it, lined up with it. The bottom one can be opened (its lid stays shut) but not taken while one stands on it.
- NewPanels and plates stack: place one on the face of another of the same block to make it a layer thicker, up to a whole block (drag to thicken a whole wall).
- NewSit on chairs, stools, benches and couches: look at one and press Interact, Crouch to get up. Benches seat two and couches three.
- ChangedBoats can be pushed: walk or swim into one to shove it off a beach or out onto the water.
- ChangedHair sways in the wind, and waypoint flags turn to fly with the wind and show their icon on the cloth.
- ChangedSmooth shading on many models that looked faceted, like the scarecrow, waypoint flag, bird coop, nest, armour, credit chips, flowers and crops.
- ChangedMod Kit: building a mod also builds its models and materials for Linux (needs Linux Build Support (Mono) in Unity Hub), so mods with content work in the Linux version.
- ChangedIsland coasts slope gently out to sea with shallow water off the beach, instead of dropping straight down to the sea floor.
- ChangedBlocks can go further into the ground, as long as part of them still shows.
- ChangedIn multiplayer the host now hands out every item you gather (digging, harvesting, mining, wood, eggs) and takes what you place or fill, so a modified game can't make items from nothing.
- ChangedIn multiplayer your player belongs to your account: you get your own inventory, place and health back in a world from any PC, and nobody else can play as you.
- ChangedRejoining a game after a crash, before your old connection timed out, puts you back in your own player instead of an empty one.
- ChangedWorkbench and research windows close when you walk away from them.
- ChangedMods: a mod running on a player's game (not the host's) can no longer add items to that player's inventory; give items from the host.
- ChangedFlying and moving fast are much smoother, and trees, plants, rocks and grass fill in around you far sooner.
- ChangedThe game runs smoother in general: less work every frame in rain and fog, at night, around farms, and while walking into areas with animals.
- FixedThe hammer no longer takes furniture (chairs, tables, chests, shelves, beds, rugs...): hold Interact on it to take it back.
- FixedPutting more of the same item in the trash now replaces what's there, so a full stack no longer blocks trashing more.
- FixedThe inventory key now closes a waypoint flag's icon and colour picker.
- FixedThe building preview shows the corners that wedges, stairs, rounds and arches turn into where they meet, including blocks already placed next to them.
- FixedRain and fog no longer cause a short stutter every couple of seconds.
- FixedPicking up sticks, rocks, plants and berries no longer causes small stutters (sounds load in the background, and the first pickup of a session is smooth).
- FixedClicking the game window to bring it back into focus no longer swings, places blocks or changes the block shape.
- FixedBlocks and items you get back with a full inventory drop at your feet instead of disappearing.
- FixedTaking a flower out of a pot twice quickly no longer gives two flowers.
- FixedTwo players chopping out the same stump no longer both get its wood.
- FixedFood and tools put into a fire no longer come back fresh or repaired.
- FixedLogs of a tree that was still falling when the game saved are no longer lost.
- FixedSwitching items in the middle of a hammer swing no longer breaks the selected blocks at once and wears the new item.
- FixedTaking a gate down no longer gives free fence posts when the host refused it.
- FixedRoads from a previous world no longer leave invisible road lines (no grass, no digging) in the next one.
- FixedTamed animals told to stay no longer wander off while you are away, and an orphan pup's den goes away once it is tamed.
- FixedTraders knocked out before you left no longer come back with no health, and ones asleep in their wagon no longer stand inside it.
- FixedLoading a world no longer plays the hurt sound and flash, and no longer counts as a season change.
- FixedResearched blueprints no longer come back into the host's inventory when a world loads.
- FixedCloud saves no longer change a world's files while it is starting.
- FixedA save that could not be written no longer says "Autosaved", and worlds named CON, NUL or COM1 can be saved.
- FixedIf a world fails to load, you no longer stay hosting behind the main menu.
- FixedQuitting while riding a bike or boat no longer leaves your hands busy in the next world.
- FixedGetting off a bike or boat in someone else's game no longer pulls you back onto the seat for a moment.
- FixedRight-clicking a full slot while dragging no longer lowers the dragged count.
- FixedHitting a friend with Friendly Fire off no longer wears your tool.
- FixedBig farms no longer stutter every 30 seconds for players in someone else's game.
- FixedChests show the right contents for everyone after the host loads a save.
- FixedHelp tips no longer show up behind the rows below them.
- FixedWalking into animals no longer pushes them along.
- RemovedThe old handmade map is gone: worlds started on it before generated worlds came in now load as a generated island (your buildings and digging stay where they were, on new ground).
