The Pre-Alpha 2 - Update 1 has been released!!

New Levelling System, new game color palette, Advanced Furnace


It features a huge feature requested by players: The Levelling System!

Gain XP, level up, get Skill Points and spend them unlocking upgrades of all sorts.

The colors of all the game have been updated to make it more colorful and more interesting.

Another requested feature: the Advanced Furnace! It can basic items in bulk and with more efficiency.

A big performance improvement was also made to make sure the game doesn't lag on the late game when a lot of stuff is happening, and to make it run smoother on low specs PCs.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Player levelling system
- Advanced Furnace
- Performance improvements

CHANGES:

- General game's color palette
- Changing furnaces inventory sizes
- Adding new shadows for all player buildings
- Changing the term 'area' to 'island' on all game strings
- Holding left shift while building will keep building the same type of construction
- Changing toggle auto collect items key to "C". Tab key now opens the player's personal screen

BUGS FIXED:

- Two item icons on the same inventory slot (Discord)
- Coal generator doesn't start working if it receives coal by drag'n drop input before the player interacts with it
- Sometimes props don't regenerate after depleted
- Crabs don't cause damage to props if that attack is also going to hit a building
- Items overlay is not always updated when items are added to a stack
- Adding some missing strings
- Logistics bot puts a new item on the furnace even when there's no more space
- If you choose an item to be delivered on a cont. and change it, the bot still delivers that item
- If you have the furnace popup open the recipe wont finish until you close it
- Elect. furnace wasnt working due to no power, but coal generator was working
- Trying to add an item through drag'n drop on a furnace before interacting with it will throw an exception
- Dragging coal to a furnace while it's working will stop it's "producing" animation
- There's no message of bot being damaged or dead anymore
- Transport Containers use the wrong name convention
- Knife doesn't work after unlocking it though the tutorial message is shown
- Islands shapes sometimes has some weird sharp corners
- When going to the next floor, it always changes back to the Extractor / Knife (Discord)
