Hey mates!
We promised you that in our last developer diaries, and here it is! The new cold and heating system is now in the game, and we can't wait to hear what you think of it! More on that below.
Warning: Unfortunately, this new system changes the game so much that the older saves are incompatible. We added an option to convert old saves and make them playable in the current version, but doing so may result in bugs (errors, not insects) emerging on your map. We apologize for any inconvenience, Early Access can be a bumpy ride (to making an awesome game)...
v0.86 Released!
- The map is now divided into 3 climate zones, each one progressively colder than the next one: the first is as cold as the map used to be, the next one is 10 times as cold, and the last one is 100 times colder
- Subsequently, Bonfires, Furnaces, and Heaters were rebalanced, so more advanced heating elements would be more efficient in colder areas
- More powerful heating elements can also be used in colder areas to warm them out more efficiently
- The display of heated areas and the heat map were improved to better show the areas, warmed out by heating elements
- Great news for everyone who were frustrated by Thorns: they are gone for good! And so is the Ancient Ice. Don't hesitate to celebrate it!
See you in a couple of weeks, when the next update rolls out!
And if you haven't done it already, please don't forget to add Craftomation 101 to your wishlist, it is an important marker to us, that brings the game's release closer:
