WIth the addition of waypoints you can save locations, set your destination for the compass, and keep up to 50 waypoints per world. This feature works for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
This was a minor feature that should've been implemented ages ago but there were never enough items for me to see the need to add it. Now with workshop mods I've seen that there are plenty of items and that many people would benefit from this feature.
I've began the process of implementing PvP and so far I have the basics already working. With these update out of the way I'll likely spend this week focusing on finishing the PvP system to give all you awesome people what you've been asking for.
| New Features |
-Added a waypoint system to allow players to save up to 50 locations. When selected a compass will appear on the upper right corner of the screen and point towards the set location
(This feature works for both singleplayer and multiplayer)
-Crafting page arrows allow you to navigate between multiple pages of items
| Networking |
-Inventory is synced after crafting an item
-Storage objects will check if players are close enough to interact with it and if not will close itself
-Changed the way clients join the game room once they connect, takes 1 less frame
-Networking buffers are now global scope meaning multiplayer performance is slightly better (minimal)
| Performance |
-Raised sleep margin timer from 5ms to 10ms to further avoid FPS stutter
| Bug Fixes |
-Ingame music would begin playing and restart the menu music if the client failed to join a server, instead it will pause the menu music and resume once the connection fails
-"/biome_files_update" was causing a crash due to it attempting to write to the executable directory
-Entering combat while a storage object is open works properly now
-Clicking menu buttons would clear the entire keyboard/mouse state, instead it clears only the mouse state now
-Unsubscribing from a workshop item properly unsubscribes now
-Having more than 128 items could cause problems in the crafting screen including descriptions not being shown
| Misc |
-Numerous improvements to the Steam Workshop implementation since the original 1.0.8 release
-The Controls/Mod menus now displays 6 buttons at a time instead of 4
-Refactored a lot of the game code to make development easier
