Smelting Revamp, Custom Woodcutting, Farming and NPCs
This month we have some really exciting updates in store for you guys, our custom woodcutting is now finished and will go through the testing phases occuring either on today's tour or next week's tour.
Smelting has been completely revamped, there are several new ingots (Silver, Gold and Brass) that players can smelt and also a complete revamp on how smelting dynamics work. Previously, smelting was very much ore based, where better ores were used in better ingots, the issue with that is that to adhere to realism we could only really use "Iron Ore" as the base ore, which means that high level smelting recipes used low level mining ingredients and was a mismatch. To correct this, we have implemented three different types of coals of different qualities which will require different levels of mining to mine.
Custom woodcutting has been completely coded now and will allow players if they have sufficient woodcutting levels to cut down a specific tree, when a tree is cut the entire tree gets cut down instead one block.NPCs is almost nearing completion and we hope it is fully up, tested and polished by the end of the month.
Builds wise, small setback, as we are commited to providing nothing short of quality, the farms and Burg Hofsteden have been temporarily removed as they did not fit perfectly into the terrain, we will be now terraforming the valley instead before deciding the builds to ensure top notch quality.
The rough plan is to have woodcutting, farming and the valley complete by the tour which will be held on the 8th of October, and NPCs throughout the world including mobs which players can kill and recieve drops from by the tour on 22nd of October.
Below is a screenshot of the valley, you can see the thousands of trees we planted, we will be moving to terraform the centre now and planting dedicious trees such as oaks, birches and yews as well as establishing farmsteads. Stay tuned!
