Changelog 0.25.0 - Reworks and Improvements

Reworked melee fights mechanic

• Legacy collision system has been turned off, the whole logic behind it is now on standby and will be triggered when all of the other features won't do the job

• Players' weapon fires sphere of raycasts when it's used to deal damage in order to find exact point of collision with another player

• Impact particles show up in an exact place where they should be

• New set of body colliders prevents players from inserting their heads or arms inside other players

• Due to above mentioned changes player bumping and other kinds of moving somebody upwards with a head or a shield is disabled

• Melee fighters can stand now not closer than 50cm from each other so hugging is no more allowed but fights will look much better

New quests

• 9 more (and 10th to come) 'advanced' quests in the Survival guide

• 9 more (each for every quest) Steam achievement to unlock

• New quest or sub-quest will be completed automatically if its task was finished before the quest started - it's now possible to complete quests in different order

• Quests can be clicked to see what were they about and how to do these tasks again

Reworked item management

• Added arrow and projectile statistics to the Book UI tooltip

• Pirate's set, bronze pickaxes and steel items are available to repair now

• Item durability starts to decrease when player hits building element, furniture or ballista

• Added durability to shields (can be destroyed by other weapons now)

• Added visualization of weapons and shields being destroyed

• Armor stats as well as weapon damage depends on quality/durability level of the item, which means:

  • The item has its starting stats described by Damage and Durability

  • The item lowers its Durability when player uses it to fight, gather etc.

  • From now on, the Damage stat will also get lower along with lowered Durability

  • Damage stat can drop up to 50% of its previous value

Fixes and changes

• Rewritten loading screen (and new backgrounds - work in progress)

• Improved anti-speedhack to better skip false positives

• Clan members' permissions are now editable to prevent rare organisation issues

• Pirate merchant sells smaller amounts of wood and stone for a lower price (100pcs instead of 1000)

• Fixed arrows passing through bronze window shutters

• Fixed wrong building snapping when trying to place a boat on deep ocean

• Fixed verification of integrity of the game cache (using Steam) which could cause deleting game progress on local servers

• Fixed sound of burning buildings (now ends when building gets finally destroyed)

• Fixed changing game resolution to affect loading screen as well

• Fixed Torch holders' fracture materials
