[h3]------------------------- Cosmic Date 30.04.2024 ------------------------- Dear Space Travelers,[/h3] [b]I'm bringing you some exciting news[/b], as we're heading towards a brand new and improved version of Minicology! As an E-Corp Helperbot unit, I understand the importance of software patches! Improving your functioning and removing hiccups from my system is crucial, which is why Minicology is undergoing (a lot of) changes! [u][b]TL;DR: We've balanced various gameplay elements to make the gameplay feel more fair, and we've resolved a ton of bugs![/b][/u] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39684651/c6d4605fec673a1179188545b2596b9036b6dfa5.png[/img] [list] [*] Reduced price of automation guidebooks [*] On saving/loading, Resonance Extractor will always restore to 100% health. This prevents issues where players quit during/after the jellyfish invasion event, and next time they start, the extractor is at low health on start [*] Adjusted repair cost for sidewinder pistol to 2 ingots [*] Coconuts now have 10 food value [*] Added "fertilizer" to bookmarked recipes on open terraform chest quest - many streamers I watched didn't realize that fertilizer existed, so trying to make it a bit more obvious [*] "Power Required" warning for resonance extractor now flashes red and white, hopefully a little more attention-grabbing for players who didn't fully equip a generator (or whose generator was destroyed without them noticing) [*] Vsync enabled by default. Looking into adding an options toggle for this [*] Enabled repairs for breechloader rifle [*] Warsword and battle-axe durability increased [*] Reduced frequency of jellyfish artillery for vortex solstice event [*] Reduced number of small jellyfish that spawn during vortex solstice event [*] Increased drop chance for eggs to drop alongside birdabug house materials when destroying wild birdabug houses [*] Clicking filter list in research menu now populates all recipes that match that filter, if no item is scanned. Matches search bar behaviour now [*] Disabled climbing while a menu is active. This reduces instances where players accidentally climb ladders etc while attempting to craft [*] Buffed durability for bone/claw spear, so they now have greater durability than plain wood spear. [*] Increased hitbox size for nano-pickaxe, to make collecting crystals easier [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39684651/110db04b5cea19969053e29c0f304dd8f91ecefb.png[/img] [list] [*] Bar Extruder now drops items if automation delivers input differant than what is already placed into input slot [*] Grass should now properly trigger "Axe" nano-tool mode [*] Grass left behind by "Drosera" grass-plant-eel enemy now drops grass properly [*] Fixed issue that made slug milker uncraftable. Microchip now requires 'sorted' crafting method [*] Fixed issue where buffs had outdated "tier" text that caused an appending "1" to appear for every food-based buff in top-menu buff bar [*] Fixed missing translator credits for Dutch localization [*] Fixed serum sickness cooldown text being in English, even on non-English localizations [*] Fixed crash on hammering medi-bay cell holders [*] Fixed broken text description for cave-in event [*] Fixed broken text description for ice cream [*] Fixed bug where multiple foods could be inserted into freezer slot, but would be treated as one food and destroyed on making ice cream. [*] Fixed issue where mint/ginger/lavender displayed with tag +5 farming, rather than +5 food [*] Fixed crash on researching ancient syrup [*] Fixed issue where after saving & loading twice, ice cream would disappear from inventories [*] Fixed crash on using big drill where if more than 20 stones were "cracked" in quick succession, game would crash [*] Fixed crash on attempting to cook 3 coconuts into a salad [*] Fixed broken text tags for coconut defense buff/starburst buff/starlight buff (all stating 0 defense, 0minute duration, etc) [*] Fixed issue where soda machine tooltip gave overly-detailed charge level data (now rounded to nearest number) [*] Attempted fix for crash caused by unequipping arc-preview tools (i.e., cloning cell, thrown animals, any range weapon with a path preview) [/list] See you in the Mini-verse!
