Changelog

General

• Slightly reduced player height to allow for a 2m tall room with a single layer of voxels on the floor such as carpet

• Added player respawn point checking. If player respawn point is obstructed or unsafe a new respawn point will be found

• Increased notification duration

• Added a quit to desktop button to pause menu

• Added protection level tooltips to armour

• Added a reach distance check to in inventory crafting so you cant craft items that are super far away

• Monsters can no longer spawn close to the players respawn point

• Increased reach distance for shovels

• Adjusted weights of road pathfinding to incentivize roads to use bridges that are already generated instead of generating a new bridge close to another one (will only apply to new worlds)

• Renamed the raytracing option in the graphics menu to hardware ray tracing as the game still uses software raytracing with this disabled.

• Added a tooltip in the crafting guide to terracotta on how its produced

Traversal Performance Improvements

• Spread out loading/unloading of vegetation instances over multiple frames

• Unloading of objects in a region now occurs over multiple frames

Physics

• Enabled async physics tick to enable use of a fixed time step for physics. This should help mitigate physics issues such as objects falling through eachother that were most prevalent at low frame rates.

• Limited physics depenetration velocity to stop objects from exploding away from each other if they do happen to clip into each other.

• The players movement will now be frozen if they outrun the voxel mesh generation to prevent them from falling through the world. This only happens on below min spec systems

Fixes

• Fixed inconsistencies between crafting with inventory open/closed
