Inventory Rework Update[ | ]
The pre-alpha update was released on the 30th May 2015.
Highlights[ | ]
- Item Decay: Every night, perishable items (like food) can decay, so their quality is reduced by one. The chance that an item decays depends on both the decay chance of the item (raw fish decays faster than bread) and the decay chance of the storage (things in your inventory decay faster than items placed in chests). As an example, 10 breads of quality 3 can get 4 breads of quality 2 and 6 breads of quality 3 overnight.
- Inventory Limit: Your inventory has a limit now. If the count of items you carry exceeds it, your movement speed decreases by 10%. Every 10% above the limit, your movement speed decreases further. You can increase the inventory limit by investing reputation into the storage-related upgrade or by buying a bag from the hawker. There are different types of bags and the hawker changes his offers every day (sometimes he sells dung! Just saying!).
- New Storage Objects: Because of the new inventory limit, new storage objects are introduced. They have a higher storage limit than chests, but they can only hold a specific type of item. There is a wood yard (for wood of course), a stone yard (stone), an ore yard (iron ores) and an ingot yard (iron) as well as a silo (all types of crops) and a cupboard (for food).
- Reworked Inventory Interface: The inventory has a solid background and organizes the items on pages you can browse through instead of an item matrix which increases in size. It also shows the storage limit and the storage's decay chance.
- Comfortable Eating: The recently eaten food is displayed left to the basket. You can click on it to eat another one (instead of re-opening the inventory) or press R.
- Water and Dung as Items: Water and dung are items now. If you click with the right mouse button on water (while the bucket is equipped), "water" is added to your inventory. You can transfer it to rain barrels or production machines like other items.
- Movement Speed Changes: The movement speed changes depending on the ground you are walking on. Indoor floor types and dirt don't affect movement speed at all. Outdoor floor types like grass and land have a negative effect on movement speed (especially higher grass and land).
