I have experimented heavily with various new file formats. Once you load it in 2.2, and it gets upgraded to the height of 256, the size doubles to 2.8GB. And that is in 2.1 format, with chunks height of 128. For example, The Walking Dead world (one of the largest out there), occupies 1.4GB. Survivalcraft 2.2 doubled world height, and the data files have become too huge. In the last post I told you that we need a more efficient way to save the world data. The old way with a button that changes mode on every click is now too confusing, with so many game modes. There’s also a new UI for game mode selection. Keep in mind that there’s still “Harmless” below it, and it gets all these benefits too, on top of what it already has.Ĭhallenging mode difficulty stays unchanged. Please let me know in the comments if you think something else needs to be made easier for this new default game mode. Player will get one cooked fish on game start.Dangerous animals will spawn less frequently.Player will be able to place blocks when in the air.Player will be more resilient to injury (25%).Player will be significantly less susceptible to cold.Here’s what will be easier in “Survival” mode, compared to “Challenging”: “Challenging” (the current default) is the more difficult. It’s simply called “Survival” and will become the default game mode. To fix it, there’s a new game mode coming in 2.3. I have read your comments about the game difficulty.
It seems that the Coronavirus lockdown is very conductive to hard work :-)
So far I spent about a month doing base tech and another month on the game itself. I want to get it finished before I get back to Survivalcraft. This project is another multiplayer strategy game, using similar network protocol as Ruthless Conquest does, but more complex and advanced in every way. I have been temporarily sidetracked from working on the 2.3 update by a new project that came along this spring. It’s still a beta though, so things may not always work as expected. It even allows you to load worlds directly from Survivalcraft data folder. I haven’t had much time to test it myself, but it seems to be functional and looks like it has full editing capabilities, down to the smallest details like block data values or obscure world options. It’s called SCEditor and there’s a beta version available for download here: One of the members of the community has been busy working on a world editor for Survivalcraft.
