Better Than Wolves

July 09, 2012

• Added the Infernal Enchanter as a new block type.
• Added Arcane Scrolls as a new item type.
• Added Candles as a new item (2 Tallow + Hemp Fiber). These will have additional uses down the road once the extended block IDs are available in vanilla.
• Added a new mysterious property to Soulforged Steel blocks.
• Added ability to lift XP and Dragon Orbs with Platforms.
• Added ability to clump snowballs together in the Block Dispenser in the same way as clay balls.
• Added ability to use bricks in the Block Dispenser as "filler". Inventory slots containing bricks will be ignored by the BD when it attempts to dispense, allowing the player to effectively limit the amount of available inventory space within a BD without affecting its operation otherwise.
• Added recipe to convert gold nuggets into gold bars in the Crucible, using the standard 9 to 1 conversion ratio.
• Added ability to place Vine Traps "upside down" so that the top of them will be flush with the blocks next to them. They can still be placed the old way by placing them on the top of a block.
• Added alternate Rope recipe with the Hemp Fibers placed horizontally instead of vertically for convenience in mass crafting.
• Added alternate Book recipe with paper in a horizontal line for same reason as above.
• Changed some of the graphics for Tanned Leather based items so that they don't look weird on the hot-bar.
• Changed the way the Crucible processes items so that it always burns combustible objects it contains before doing any other processing. This is to prevent the Crucible from overflowing if it contains a surplus of bows or other single-stack combustible objects while you are doing other processing.
• Changed pigs to drop 1 to 3 pork chops on death instead of 0 to 2, to reflect upcoming changes to vanilla, and to further incentivize their use in Tallow production.
• Changed the sound pigs make when giving birth to be more appropriate to the situation.
• Changed the recipe for Padding to consist of 3 feathers (middle row), surrounded by 2 Fabric (top and bottom rows). This is to increase the value of both chicken farms (particularly given the below change to Tallow), and Hemp in the late game.
• Changed the Slats filter in the Hopper to allow Hemp leaves to pass through.
• Fixed problem with the Block Dispenser always converting any leaf blocks it picks up into oak leaves.
• Fixed problem with only oak planks being able to be converted to Potash in the Stewing Pot.
• Fixed problem with the Block Dispenser overwriting any tall grass, vines, or shrub blocks in front of it which was creating problems with automatic farms for these resources due to a recent vanilla change. The BD will no longer be able to place blocks if one of these blocks is in front of it.
• Fixed problem (and potential exploit) with wood Siding, Moulding, and Corners burning just as long as wood planks in a furnace.
• Fixed problem with upside down wood slabs breaking Saws.
• Fixed problem with upside down stairs not rotating properly on the Turntable.
• Fixed problem with placenta not always properly displaying.
• Removed recipes to convert chicken and eggs into Tallow. Sorry for this, but chicken farms are way too open to exploits, which severely devalued other types of animal farms (particularly pigs), and this also encouraged the creation of certain kinds of chicken farms which are detrimental to game performance.
• Removed ability to enchant Soulforged Steel equipment on the enchanting table.
