There’s been a vendor without any inventory parked in the Thorcon Power Plant for a while now, just watching testers come and go. Over the past few weeks we made some major updates to our crafting system and approved Mr. Mixer Head’s permit (after he squared up with his registration fees of course).
Players can now buy a wide variety of weapons, clothing, and survival items from his newly opened store. We plan on adding more vendors in the near future, but for now this fella has the market cornered.
In addition to Mr. Mixer Head (or current nickname for the vendor) we introduced “research benches” this week. The bench is a craftable item that players can use to learn new crafting recipes.
We know how important a deep crafting system is to many of you and we’re really excited about including this big step in making it better. All a player needs to do is place an item inside the bench, add the correct amount of rai (our ingame currency), and the item is destroyed leaving you a blueprint allowing you to add that item to your list of crafting recipes.
Our community of players gave us some great feedback about making some changes to how they interact with inventory. We want to make it clear and easy to use, so we changed a few things, incorporating the ideas suggested so far. As always, we love hearing suggestions for how we can improve things, so mahalo for posting them in the suggestions channel in our discord.
Now, there’s an item detail widget added to the inventory UI which gives info about each item and the ability to drop, use, or equip it. We added double click support to inventory icons and made some improvements to the quick craft feature.
With new items to buy and recipes to learn we’ve adjusted the resource rate drop and made looting a little easier for those on the run. If a player holds down “H” while looting a corpse or open container it automatically takes all items 1 at a time with a 0.3 second delay between items.
There’s Good news for all of you water lovers, not only have we fixed swimming, we finished some post-processing work on our rivers. As you can see below our rivers are looking as great as our ocean.
