Energy Exposed - 15/12/2015

 

PLEASE NOTE: Because we did some changes to the game controls, we had to reset the game controls scheme. Those of you who have reconfigured the default control scheme in some way will need to do it again. The most noticeable changes are:

• The default keys for opening the Character panel are now [Tab] and [­I]
• Placing mode change (building in grid vs. free placement mode) is now toggled via [P] 
• Interaction with entities in the scene (other than looting) is now (as indicated with a hint) done via [E]

 

• Energy just came to your ylands. With the first devices available (and more to come soon) you can create both simple and sophisticated energy setups
• Added Ambient Occlusion effect - in addition to basic SSAO, players can now enjoy state-of-the-art HBAO+ developed and licensed by NVIDIA as part of NVIDIA GameWorks™
• Added particle effect shown when objects are destroyed
• Added another way of creating a campfire - by using a light with a small piece of wood lying on the ground
• Items that can't be broken down into small fragments can now be destroyed
• Added the ability to set count of affected objects when performing an action with stacked items
• Added bears (normal and polar)
• Newly created ylands now contain more interesting landscape shapes (players can still select to have the ylands created based on the previous algorithm by selecting "Hillside" terrain type in the advanced yland creation panel)
• When the player's character is hit, it affects the currently playing animation
• Water now doesn't flow through the building blocks, which allows the creation of dams and pools
• "Use" button in the item detail panel now works in a more flexible way and so does dragging and dropping items over the character in the equip panel

• Ylandium generator
• Wind turbine
• Energy node
• Energy AND
• Energy OR
• Energy XOR
• Energy splitter
• Energy switch (2)
• Energy linker

• Energy stove
• Iron building set (10)
• Engineer helmet (2)

• Engineer pants (2)
• Engineer boots (2)
• Bear trophy (3)
• Bear hide (3)

• Removed some obsolete game items such as door and window frames
• Sharks are now transformed into the correct object when they die
• Player's character now picks up items without crouching
• First batch of animal AI-related fixes
• Fixed issue where the items that spawn in the scene (mostly those created as a result of digging) would be added to stacks
