Gameplay

addedCRAFTAs you might have guessed, this tool allows you to craft items. First, you need to navigate to the CraftOPedia to ‘equip’ items that you want to craft into your Recipe Hotbar. To craft an item, open the crafting menu, select an item from your recipe hotbar, then click on the space where you want to place it in the world. You can now see how much of each item in the crafting recipe you currently have available. Also, the crafting tool will automatically use items around the world and in storage for the crafting recipe.

addedImprovements to CraftOPedia, AgainThis should be the final overhaul for the CraftOPedia. We have made an entirely new section where you can view exactly where an item can be made.

removedBakeryBakeries are now their own building. It is no longer part of the FarmHut and Greenhouse. It functions the same as Factories and Assembly Machines.

addedBakeryYou can now manage how much of each ingredient is set aside for Bakeries. This prevents workers from consuming it before it can be used to make baked goods. Farms can now be used with Links (Automation).

Good day Survivors!

Welcome to our August 2022 Devlog! Today we'll be discussing some exciting features which will be available in the upcoming major update: Fog of War. The Fog of War update release date will be announced soon, but we are targeting around the end of September / October of 2022.

Complete Crafting Revamp

Yes, the crafting mechanic has been rebuilt from the ground up! No more trying to find where your item has spawned when crafting. Now, you will be able to choose where the crafted item will be placed. There are many other differences which will be discussed below.

Crafting Modes

There are two modes in the Crafting menu: MINE and CRAFT

MINE

The MINING tool is used to convert resources into usable materials. For example, clicking on a tree will turn it into wooden planks. You will also be able to visually see that the interactible tiles will be in green and the tiles which you can’t do anything with will be in red. As always, large resources can only be mined with a Mining rig.

CRAFT

As you might have guessed, this tool allows you to craft items. First, you need to navigate to the CraftOPedia to ‘equip’ items that you want to craft into your Recipe Hotbar. To craft an item, open the crafting menu, select an item from your recipe hotbar, then click on the space where you want to place it in the world. You can now see how much of each item in the crafting recipe you currently have available. Also, the crafting tool will automatically use items around the world and in storage for the crafting recipe.

Drilling Down the Crafting Recipe

Instead of equipping all items you need to craft a building in the Recipe Hotbar, you can click on an item within the crafting recipe to bring up its recipe. For example, a FarmHut required a wooden structure to be built. Instead of equipping both items in the Recipe Hotbar, you can simply equip the Farm Hut. Once the FarmHut is selected in the crafting menu, you can craft the wooden structure by clicking on its image. Once the wooden structure is built, the game will automatically bring you back to the previous recipe (which would be the Farm Hut).

Improvements to CraftOPedia, Again

This should be the final overhaul for the CraftOPedia. We have made an entirely new section where you can view exactly where an item can be made.

Bakery

Bakeries are now their own building. It is no longer part of the FarmHut and Greenhouse. It functions the same as Factories and Assembly Machines.

You can now manage how much of each ingredient is set aside for Bakeries. This prevents workers from consuming it before it can be used to make baked goods. Farms can now be used with Links (Automation).

Where can I Move Items to?

Quality Of Life - The game now displays where you can insert an item while moving them. For example, when moving Coal, you will see a indicator of 'FUEL' on top of every item that requires Coal for fuel (like Coal Heaters and Coal Generators).

You can read the June 2022 Devlog to view more features regarding the Fog of War update.

What's Next?

We have a few more features planned for the Fog of War update. Such as introducing 'Rewarding Objectives' which will replace the current outdated Objectives. We will also introduce Challenges
