Satiscraftory

New Features

Survival-friendly recipes, building, and resource scanning!

Recipes: All factory items can now be crafted by hand in a crafting table. Future items probably won't get the same treatment, but there needed to be some way to obtain them in survival to get a factory initially going

Build Gun: Crafted with basic factory items, the Build Gun adds a survival-friendly way to place and demolish factory buildings. Press B to open the build menu, where you can select buildings and see a preview of them. Placing a building requires you to have all materials on hand (configurable) for that building's recipe.

To delete things with the Build Gun, left click on them, and you'll see a red box outline the building. Up to 50 things can be selected at once. Hold left click (while not looking at a block) to delete all selected buildings, and have the materials refunded (configurable)

Resource Scanner: Like the Build Gun, the Resource Scanner is also crafted from basic factory items. Using it will open a radial menu where you can select the node type to scan for. Upon making your selection (left click), the scan will ping all of the nodes for that type within 1000 blocks (configurable). The bar at the top of the screen shows the distance to each node, showing only the closest node when multiple nodes sit close together on the bar.

New Config Options

Building Costs: Whether buildings should require materials to be built with the Build Gun
Demolition Refund Percent: What percent of materials are returned when demolishing buildings with the Build Gun
Generate Resource Nodes: Whether newly generated chunks should generate Resource Nodes. Must restart the world/server to take effect
Resource Scanner Range: The maximum range the Resource Scanner can detect nodes at. Does not load chunks, so increasing the range won't make it find nodes that haven't already been generated

Afterword

For better explainations and stuff for the things in this changelog (e.g. listing out each recipe), I'll probably be working on the wiki over the coming week. For now, you're kinda on your own to figure things out

Anyway, sorry the update took a bit longer than anticipated, I got a little carried away... This was initially meant to be 0.5.1 and just add recipes, but I realized that the Build Gun was pretty much a necessity to add, and adding standard recipes for buildings simply would not work the way Satisfactory's building system works. The Resource Scanner was just for fun though :)

As for what's next, 0.7.0 is going to take a while (upward of 2 weeks), and it will add Smelters and Constructors. This will be a huge breaking change and will make Machines completely irrelevant
