Game Development: Pfefferbench

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

New Implementations
-----------------------

• Added "Hasenpfeffer", food item.

Key Fixes
-----------------------

• Reworked the crafting input menu such that:
  • You can hold an item, and left-click an input slot, to limit the slot to only take items of that type.
  • You can also limit an input slot to a particular input type by shift-left-clicking with the slot's input selection cursor active. (I.e. Left click input slot -> Shift-Left-Click a "Chantrelles" -> Slot is now limited to "Chantrelles").

• Added recipe search by input. In the "Action Search" menu, at the bottom, there is now a "Search by ingredient" button. Clicking this, and then some input type, presents all known recipes which accepts the item in question as input.
• "Mortar & Pestle"s can now be placed on "Alchemist's Table"s.
• Made it so that equippable tools placed on work-benches can be used directly/implicitly, without going through the lolercoaster of manually equipping them. This currently works for "Smithy's Hammer"s placed on "Anvil"s and "Mortar & Pestle"s placed on "Alchemist's Table"s. Note that a manually equipped tool will always have priority over a tool equipped to a work-bench.

Small Fixes
-----------------------

• Since my "Mound Bed"s ran out in the dead of winter: Reworked "Mound Bed" such that they can be replenished whenever they are below full levels of water/mulch. Should a "Mound Bed" deactivate due to running out of mulch/water entirely, it will need to be fully replenished before it activates again.

As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $7, is the "Zombie 'Shroom Cap".

$7

Ever since this terrible bloom sprouted from your skull, you have felt an irresistible urge to climb a tall peak, and offer yourself to the dragons.

All Gold subscribers have been awarded the "Zombie 'Shroom Cap", free of charge.

In the Pipe
-----------------------

• No patch next week, and summer will continue to be a bit patch-spotty as we entertain various other life commitments, but things are in motion. Stay tuned.
• Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
• Time to... like us on Facebook?
