Lucid Dream: Feb 4, 2003; That boy ain't right.

Ok I pushed out a new update (0.47) to everyone on Steam, here are the patch notes:

New Content

- Plant creature - Found occasionally on the surface of the planet
- Goat - Found on the surface of the planet
New tree system

- Trees now grow slowly, but grow while you are away (even when you are offline)
- Fruit now grows slower, but also grows while you are away
- Trees re-grow limbs as long as you don't cut it down to a stump.
- In order to remove a tree, you must destroy the stump with an axe.
- You cannot break the blocks under a tree.
Tree tap item added, can be attached to a tree limb or trunk and generates sap or rubber over time. Holds up to 20 sap or rubber at a time.
Added a Material Grinder that grinds up basic materials like stone and granite in order to find trace metals.
Added a Backglider - Allows you to glide while falling and holding the jump button
Sulfur gas gun - Fires blasts of sulfur gas
Razor Leaf Sword
[Added 4 new materials

Added 3 new seeds

New Recipes

Sulfur Gas Gun - 1x Gas Bladder, 3x Plastic, 4x Iron Ingot
Razor Leaf Sword - 1x Razor Leaf Blade, 4x Plant Fibers
Tree Tap - 3x Iron Ingots
Sulfuruous Ash - 1x Sulfur, Requires a mortar and pestle tool as well as a heat source
Material Grinder - 8x Plastic, 12x Iron, 4x Unrefined Glass

UI Changes

Added a loot all button to containers that takes every item from a container and puts it in your inventory
Added buttons to the GPS Device. You can still use the mouse and scroll wheel to navigate, but now there are some buttons too.
- A button for centering on the player
- A button for zooming in and out as well as a zoom level display
- A button for panning around the map
Replaced ore sprites on the GPS Device, more sprites coming for bones/coal/anthracite/amber
GPS Device mineral scan visibility duration doubled
Added a funky holo effect thing to the background of the GPS Device
Added the ability to label containers. Labelled containers will show the text over the container item while inside other containers.
Blocks with rounded corners should no longer leave gaps when placed next to each other. Let us know if you notice blocks that still leave annoying gaps

Gameplay Changes

Flint and Rocks are now throwable
Reduced blue flying creature spawn rate a bit

Bug Fixes

Changed the way the world is saved - This should fix several minor bugs such as items popping out of containers, items not saving proper positions in containers, as well as some dupe bugs related to containers. Let us know if you notice any issues with saving, such as items disappearing after quitting and loading the game
Fixed buggy player movement while walking on rotated/flipped sloped blocks
Possible fix for issue related to not gaining fullness upon eating
Fix for an issue related to crafting using items taken from a worktable in the world
Fixed a crash related to sound effects during the intro escape pod section. The crash should only happen on systems without a sound device, and there will likely be other crashes but this should fix the first one and we'll go from there.
Fixed a bug that would cause the kinetic inductor to not work when encumbered
Fixed an issue that would prevent you from splitting items in containers in the world
Fixed the AGIS button the HUD
The players fists are now "unequipped" when you die

Why are you calling it a sulfur gas monster and a sulfur gas gun when we all know what it is and nobody is being fooled?

Among all the things that were added during this latest patch, THANK YOU for the resource grinder.

Any possibility of a future upgrade to it for disassembling items like a permanent salvage kit?

I don't think so, is there a dinosaur game where you can fling poo and eggs that I'm not aware of?

I'm going to have to spend more time with that game then, I only tried it for like a minute because I heard it had Oculus support but it ran terribly in VR.

That'd be the game. They're even adding monkeys to augment the experience. :3:

Fair warning: the game is going to run like complete poo poo for another few months at least and the VR aspect is full of placeholders. Their coders all have raging boners for 3D UIs a la Dead Space though so it's probably a priority.

I wish there was a screensaver you could export your guy in whatever he's wearing/holding to where he'd brutalize wildlife forever. This game had made me laugh so loving much.

Lucid Dream: Feb 4, 2003; That boy ain't right.

I put out a beta version of the game with initial multiplayer support, its probably hosed and full of bugs but if you want to try it the info is here.

And here are some armor pieces we're making for the next update:

The leg armor will let you jump higher and the arm + glove combo makes it so you do more damage and get a different animation set for the fists
