2.2 Tremendous Tech Tree - Changelog

[anna_svecova 375]

⭐ HIGHLIGHTS ⭐

Update 2.2: Tremendous Techtree is here! Let's dive into more than 200 improvements and 18 new major features. See Highlights at the top, New Assets in the middle and all of the small and big fixes at the bottom of this page.

Tech Tree

Progress on your own terms! Unlock core and (most) optional recipes in a brand new Tech Tree. Discover all of the recipe categories, decide what you want to unlock and be the master of your own progress. Curious about details? Find out more HERE.

Handbook rewards

New rewards for handbook tasks and story. Some rewards can be obtained only through the handbook and nowhere else, so remember to claim them!

Compass overhaul

Compass is now always visible and has an all-new visual for increased contrast. Yes, now you can see it even during bad weather. We also added the detection of cave entrances, so you know where (not) to hide when the storm hits.

Proximity chat

Players are now able to communicate via an in-built proximity voice chat in multiplayer sessions. In Adventure mode you can only hear Ylanders that are close to you. In Creative mode you can be miles away and still hear each other clearly.

Inspection window overhaul

We felt the item detail window was too hidden, so we displayed it more prominently (replaced the "Used In" button). Used In was moved to the item detail window, along with several new functions (Link to the crafting recipe, ability to craft more of the same item, etc.).

Alchemy changed to crafting

The alchemy table now works as any other workstation (potions are researched in the Tech Tree as most of the other recipes).

Region map multiplayer adjustment

Do you often run out of space in the region map? Now all your maps are single-player by default. This should double the space for your own ylands!

Avatar frames

Now you can change the borders of your avatar's face. You can gain some as a reward or buy some in the shop. Your avatar's frames are visible by everyone who sees your avatar.

Biotop polishing

Flora and fauna are now region-specific. We also changed the visual (both terrain and new entities) of every region. There are now some new animals like hens, and many new plants, rocks, and trees. 

Random encounters

Random encounters are now region-specific (except for vendors). Vendor encounters were rebalanced and their compositions were updated. Optional recipes were separated into smaller pools to reflect progress in the Tech Tree. We also added a new method for the optional recipe and exploration point acquisition (Interactive entities hidden in Random encounters). 

Quality of life improvements

List of valid entities for inventory containers extended (or changed). Tutorial rebalanced for new changes. Items automatically removed from containers no longer drop on the ground
Destroyed entities from REs no longer drop resources. Hardened items no longer fall to the ground when terrain is modified below them. Stumps can be removed using a pick tool. Empty categories in the Crafting menu are hidden until you learn their contents. 

Sailing speed rebalance

Boats were rebalanced to be slower than most ships. Ship speeds were rebalanced for a more linear progression. The angle of optimal wind was increased and the negative effect of sailing against the wind decreased. The power of sails and engines is applied by an exponential curve - less power is required to reach a reasonable speed.

Aim assist

Players playing on mobile are now being assisted with aiming.

Secondary Interaction bound to E key

Some radial menu actions were moved to a separate hotkey.

Feedback improvement

You can send feedback messages with attached saved file containing your progress at a selected yland.

Indicators for saving and bad connection

Whenever the game autosaves, an indicator flashes in the bottom right corner. Should you experience issues with an internet connection, the game will display that as well. Also, losing progress when your internet connection is poor should be mitigated to a minimum.

EDITOR: Custom tools folders

Organize Toolbox neatly into virtual folders.

EDITOR: Debug stepping alpha version

Introducing an alpha version of a powerful debugging tool for Custom Games containing complicated Visual Script. Add breakpoints to Visual Script tiles, test the game in the Debug mode, and walk through the script step by step. This feature is hidden by default but can be enabled by /enabledebugging 1.
