The following changes were added previously.
New Features
- Added new craftable item Piles!
You can create a pile by looking at or holding an item that you have 2 or more of in the surrounding area. Use the Quick Craft menu to craft a ‘pile’ of that item, which is shown by a new pile icon in blue. Piles are free to create and store 1 type of crafting item. The supported items are: Sticks, Rocks, Palm Fonds, Lashings, Fibrous Leaves, Clay, Logs and Coconuts. The capacity for most items is 50x but can vary depending on the item.
You withdraw and deposit items just like a storage container. The first item stored assigns the type of pile it is. You can remove all items and re-assign a pile at any time. When you withdraw all items from a pile, it will disappear.
Items stored in a pile are available and can be used when crafting without having to manually remove them from a pile. Note: Pile materials will be used last.
For those interested in the tech side of things, the benefits of the new piles are:
- Faster zone loading: 1 item to load, instead of 50x individual objects.
- Batched rendering for 50x items. Rendering multiple items was batched before, but the new method is even more efficient.
- Less physics overhead! Piles are a static object with 1 collider, instead of 50x physics bodies and colliders.
- Less overhead from individual Unity GameObjects. GameObjects and Components in Unity incur a small amount of overhead to validate state and run callbacks on every instance. This all adds up, so it is good to mitigate.
Changes
- Changed inventory to display the item the player is holding in slot 1.
- Increased inventory storage from 10 to 12 slots.
- Increased crate storage from 3 to 5 slots.
