major update

Miscreated · published 6 years ago

This update introduces the brand new trader system in Miscreated
Multiple trader NPCs have been added to both Orcas Island and Canyonlands allowing players to buy and sell items using AmCoins
Each trader will have a different inventory with some static items and random items
Each server restart, some traders will offer a completely different set of items for players to purchase
The traders will never run out of items, which mean players can buy the same item any number of time they wantA special trader was also hidden to both maps - it will sell more rare and sought after items but at a risk because they are not within a safezone

For this update, we also added safezone to both Miscreated maps
Safezones act as a social hub for players to meet, group up and chat without the risk of getting shot by players or bit by mutants
The safezone also serves as a home for most traders
Each outpost also has various campfires and barbecues for players to cook food, planters to grow crops, kiosk to store and withdraw items, and small bunkers in the event where players need to take shelter due to a storm
Safezones are marked by 3 huge fulton balloons floating above them making them easy to find on each map

The vehicle system has been adjusted for this update
Vehicles in Miscreated were made out of multiple components each having their own health pool but due to limitations of the UI, displaying the health of each component was never implemented
We decided to simplify the vehicle system by removing the unnecessary components and vehicular weak points and only keeping the main hull for damage
The benefits of doing so is that the vehicles are now much more durable and the health displayed in the UI will represent the actual health of the vehicle itself - no more hidden health
We also increased the health of most vehicles

The cooking system was also revamped
Players will now be able to buy 3 new cooking books from the cooking trader to learn new crafting recipes
These new recipes are designed to tie together the food related systems that were added in prior updates - such as hunting, farming and cooking
Each recipes will require multiple ingredients to craft, but will provide players with much more food and most can be partially consumed
Items that can be partially consumed will refill your hunger meter by the amount it needs to fill it to 100% (no more over eating)

Reduced spawn rate of most AR, SMG and automatic weapons
Reduced spawn rate of some ammo types (mostly ammo that goes along with the reduced weapon spawns)
Reduced spawn rate of medicines such as anti-radiation, antibiotics and mushrooms - be careful what you eat
Reduced spawn rate of most food items
Reduced Spawn rate of M97 and its ammo
Added prices to most items for the trader system - will probably have to adjust item prices based on player feedback
