Awesome, thanks! Loving the game so far!

By the way, the ant biome may need a bit of balancing in terms of drops; I was able to go directly from bone armor and a few iron weapons/tools straight to full steel armor/sword/pick in no time flat.

Ooohh you're right, I didn't think about that. What in particular let you tech up so quick? Ore in the ant blocks?

Cracking open the ant food deposits and those bubble things that hang from the ceilings. It seems to especially be the ones that keep dripping the sticky stuff that your character can get covered in-every one of those seemed to drop a steel ingot.

Yeah, we've got a framework in place for multiplayer (the singleplayer actually runs a local server) but we haven't really messed with it in awhile so until we really dig into it I can't give any kind of ETA.

I know this is the #1 thing that is keeping everyone I know from picking this game up. I'm sure there are lots of others too. I am not by any means trying to tell you what to focus on but just figured I'd give you my 2 cents on what people are really holding out for.

The wiki says I should start seeing loosely-scattered graphite about 100 blocks down, but I've gone several times that far and haven't found a single piece. Is it possible it just wasn't added during world generation, or am I just having really bad luck?

I generated the world using the current version, if that would make a difference.

Graphite isn't even in the game, although granite might be around that depth or maybe deeper. Coal should be about that depth, and anthracite is nearly at the bottom of the map. I have no idea how accurate the information on the wiki is, I need to spend some time going through it sometime.

That looks wonderful! I got this a while ago and finally booted it up today and I'm hooked.

One suggestion: I've been playing the hell out of another "survive alone on an alien planet" game, Factorio, and it's really making me wish that intermediate crafting items like leather straps are automatically crafted when you try to make an item that requires it.

The way Factorio does it works really well. To craft a basic transport belt you need:

1 iron plate (made in a furnace from iron ore)
1 gear (made from 2 iron plates)

When you go to craft the transport belt, instead of making you go through the additional step of making a gear and then crafting the belt, the game gives you a total material cost (3 iron) for the finished product and all intermediate items and will automatically make the intermediate items for you if there are none in your inventory.

The way it's implemented helps simply Factorio's super complicated crafting system tremendously and relieves the player of the burden of keeping track of their stock of countless intermediate components.

Interesting, I'll give it some thought. We'd have to redesign the crafting window to add a scrollable list of total ingredients or something, but its not out of the question.

Pushed out an update today, most of what we've been working on lately is intro/tutorial related and I don't want to spoil it of course, but we went ahead and pushed out some of the other junk we've been doing including that auto-organize button which is so freakin' convenient.

New Content
  • Aluminum Bat

  • Clobb SMG

  • Micro SMG


New Recipes

  • Removed new recipe text from the bottom of the screen, seemed kinda messy? Might put back as an option.
  • Quick slots should now be labelled properly if you rebind the keys

Item Changes
  • Smelters now should continue working when you walk away from them - This probably needs some testing, but it seems to be working right for me.
  • Made keycard into a key item
  • Fixed some item descriptions, let us know if you see more bad ones
  • Impaler spikes now have a 25% chance to break on contact, do less damage and are a bit slower/heavier.
  • Impaler spikes now do 30 base damage to the player when dropped by Impalers
  • Fixed some UI issues with the equipment window

Bug Fixes
  • Possible fix for save failure/rollback after spending a long time in pause - Definitely let us know if you still run into any save issues
  • Fix for a crash related to explosions
  • Fix for a crash related to orange shorts (lol, not even kidding)
  • Possible fix for issues that could cause the player to get stuck, let us know if you still get stuck and unable to move

  • Fixed some bugs related to the escape pod container
  • Fixed a dupe related to multi-quantity recipes in the material printer

Creature Changes
  • Changed crawler behavior a bit so they won't walk on the bottom of platforms
  • Tweaked the big chicken AI a bit

Haha, I feel like adding geese has been suggested before, and it seems like we were reluctant to put in any more earth-native animals at this point, but if we do, geese are high up on the list.

Notice how he just stands there filming as his kid develops a lifelong fear of birds, but the minute the kid puts the food down, he steps in so the chickens don't eat it all. Wonderful guy there.
