Changelog 2015-10-20: Blueprint fix and a new tool

I thank you very much Red for the camera fix.

Oredetector! Groovy i love gadgets.

sweet an ore detector. as always yall listen to the community , and act quite fast im impressed. keep up the great work !

Both surprised and impressed with what's being added and fixed. Wasn't too long ago that "ore detectors" were suggested, and now added. Same with the chests losing items. Neat stuff. Finding the category for Blueprints also a neat little 'fix'. Awesome!

I like the current flow of small updates no bullshit or promises but content. What would really add value at this point is hostile-if-attacked npc's with worthwhile loot, teaming on them could be a blast. They could also follow you to your place and wreck things?

At AvengerX No... go play Rust. I even have account i will let you use.

Thing you have to keep in mind is that people keep speaking about wanting to disable Creepers, yet they have many nostalgic memories about them. Yes, they are annoying, but they also add to the game by keeping you alert & on your toes. You keep building things to keep them at bay. If people have a way to keep them away from you (like traps & cats) then they'll welcome them more. Just as long as people have a way to counter these threats they'll welcome them in. Either that, or they haven't adapted to keeping them at bay so they're simply frustrated they can't adapt. Thankfully Red51 added in filters heh.

You can't read it directly as "people don't want creepers type creatures in" within its blunt meaning. Yes, they're a hassle but it's because you need a way to keep them at bay (i.e fire & campsites for wolves). If we get a "creeper-like" entity then you have to make sure there's a counter to it that people can make use of But ya, I would also be enraged if an entity like that blew up my builds. Any "counter" might have to be a relic, a scenery, or something one can place on buildings to keep them at bay. Something that might work on a radius while also being something to stare at when placed down to keep place safe. Lots of brainstorming could be done.

Oh! Racoons! I can happily tolerate them stealing food from farms & such. Something happening "once-in-a-while" type of thing. I accept them stealing from chests also Again, people would have to build strong "banks" or storage places with heavily-locked doors. It be amusing seeing someone irritated at Racoons with all they had to do was lock the door & enclose the chests heh. Sneaky Racoons

Loving what's being posted here & hope I'm not being obnoxious with my postings. Love these postings though.

i think the game could do the creeper thing on another whole level we don't need some t stick green thing to blow up our buildings bears could rip apart our builds or packs of dogs could hunt us down more at night, im just saying we could have more real life things try to kill us how ever one thing i hated but loved with minecraft and that was lighting hitting buildings and if made of timber they would burn down lol

yeah ... a pack of wolves .... that would be interesting. any one watched the grey ? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1601913/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_28
dang wolves would be scary.

@red51 Oh! Sounds excellent. But make sure you have a way to counter these things while boldly mentioning filters because people will be heavily in favour of disabling these & other of your monsters on a whim. I'm seeing many "paranoid" type players. Shall be fun. That monster update shall hopefully be fun heh.

Also, at what @yahgiggle mentiond is something I can agree with. More neutral & hostile animals + something to rival the creeper for th fun of it. I guess Bandits, but something that seeks out player-made items? I guess we should just "wait & see" once we get to the dungeons to see what you're thinking. Shall be happy avoiding them pack of wolves, among other sorts.

Going to keep any monster thoughts & such hidden until Dungeons update as I mentioned the biome time-trigger spawning type multiple times . Nice mini-update also.

I still think Racoons/Gremlins are a really good idea. if you don't lock your doors one may wondering and mess with your stuff.

@red51 So how about instead of tons of little patches of ore like polka-dots in the ground, how about some actual ore veins that are long, sinuous, and branching that you spend time actually chasing through the rock to extract.
I am not saying get rid of all the small patches, as they are good for short term boons, but the further down you mine the more likely you will find veins and the larger veins are, and the more likely a good mining operation with elevators and the full gambit will be worth the effort.
I would think something similar to the tunnel generator but an factor for size and complexity ties to depth(height).

Another thing with veins you could have different type of hostile mobs spawn near/attracted to different types of ore, and the presence of those mobs can help clue the player that a certain type of vein is near by.
This can be used to a cause a natural increase in difficulty for more specialized materials need for higher levels in the tech tree, without have the need for special zones/biomes to accomplish the same thing.
IE Giant Rats like copper or Orcs are near iron veins, so clearing out the mobs rewards you semi safe access to the vein of materials and then provide multiplayer points of interest until the vein is depleted.

As always great job, looking forward to your next patch.

Having veins is risky as it may create more ores and devalue it... but having mobs be attracted to it (and be spawned periodically to attack the player mining it) is a great idea.

well if you increase the amount of ore need to get there and extract it + increasing the ore requirement for late game items it should be fine. maybe require some form of minor refinement for late game items ?

Good job keep it up!

Could you fix blueprint rotation? Right now I can not rotate any blueprint
How to make screenshot? I pressed F5 several time, it's does not work. I reassignment on another keys. It's still does not work.

You habe to press f12. Yes this bug is known but if you don't use some blocks, ramps, ... You can rotate it
