I think I fixed the Goblins.

I ended up adding 2 extra States, one for entering a object and one for leaving.

That didn't actually fix it, it just made things easier and better.

The fix was adding an exit to the wander state.

Turns out I didn't fix my bug. I found another Goblin stuck next to a chair.

I've turned on more debug data to help find the issue

Look at all these Goblins I spawned to increase the chance! Still nothing!

Got 1! Stuck in Wander State without a path!

Huh, adding the self exception so you can move a building part [a bit] into where it previously was turned out to be real simple.

So Building move is done?

I'm thinking I only want it for buildings though, not for all structures/devices

Ok, Moving Doors on Houses is done I think. Even got a nice error wiggle, to let you know you can't move a door off a wall.

Next I need to finish reworking the ground check so I can let you move Furniture. Think I'll just make you need a free valid space.

Doing more work on the code for moving Buildings.

So here is one of my favourite things I made this year for my game. TINY CREATURES!

You can catch them and use them in Crafting Buildings, like Fireflies in Lights, or Tiny Birbs to power things!

Stayed up way too late trying to fix an issue with the Selector Box when moving/deleting buildings.

Instead of trying to hop over the building, I'm just storing it's id and getting it's width/height.

This way you always see where you are, and the size

Destroying Houses now refunds some of the cost of Furniture you've placed inside as well as for the House

Btw, it breaks a Goblins heart when you sell their house

Ah ha! That works! Cool, I can have Floor tiles that alternate colours or have patterns!

New rugs, and new Flooring for houses.
If I can figure out an simple way to do the tiling check, I'll add this as normal floor you can place too.
TBH, just checking if the x/y coord is odd/even might be enough.

While I'm working on stuff, here's some more old gifs!
