Milling Water (2024-01-22)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (New Implementations)
Added "Watermill", a small house which can be built near water, and which can power two machines. The Watermill cannot be bashed by hand, and can thus be built contigously with walls for a measure of safety.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Reverted the recent changes to the speed buffs provided by the "Forager" credo and "Bunny Slippers", due to public outcry. It could perhaps be argued that "Bunny Slippers" are particularly egregious in this regard, as they enforce a meta where "Bunny Slippers" are the only footwear possible to use in PvP. Feel free to suggest changes. Reverting for now, but open to arguments.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
The "Well Cooked" buff from the "Chef" credo should now be applied to dough-type items as well, e.g. "Bread" and such. Same for the chance to double output-buff.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Added a build exclusion zone around "Thing Challenge"s, preventing their use as wall objects.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
You should no longer get teleported into deep water if riding with swimming enabled and teleporting to a "Thingwall".
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Fixed a bug by which it was possible to road-teleport a "Knarr" into e.g. a "Catapult".
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Fixed a bug by which it was possible to instantly smelt "Well Mined" ore in "Stack Furnace"s.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a bug which could cause loose rock objects to be destroyed instantly when being placed.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Buffed most baked goods.
Milling Water	2024-01-22	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Bushes can no longer be planted inside one another.

Buzzcut Board (2024-02-11)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	Sawmill, Watermill, Windmill -- (New Implementations)
Added "Sawmill", a mechanically powered machine (i.e. built in wind- or watermills) which automatically transforms logs into boards at a rate of exchange slightly better than that provided by a metal saw.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	Sawmill -- (Key Fixes) / (TMP: General client/update note)
Added some new animation mechanics to support the Sawmill. (The sawmill will crash clients that have not merged these changes.)
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes) / (Skipped: General client/update note)
Updated various internal client interfaces for forward compatibility with some upcoming changes. It would be nice if custom clients merged these.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes) / (Skipped: General client/update note)
Made the mesh resource format significantly more space-efficient (though this new format won't be used until custom clients have had a chance to merge it).
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes) / (Skipped: General client/update note)
Added server-side support for various other resource formats that have been in the client for long enough to hopefully be merged into custom clients.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes) / (Skipped: General client/update note)
Reformed a large number of resources for better forward compatibility with some future changes. I hope this won't affect custom clients too badly, but I also don't think it will.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes) / (Skipped: General bug/gfx fix)
Fixed a bug with instancing the tree wind effect which should significantly improve performance with many trees on-screen.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) / (Skipped: General gfx fix)
Remedied the way in which some objects, such as hearthfires, would always animate in-sync with each other.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) / (Skipped: General gfx fix)
Fixed the jerking that some sprites, such as windmills, would do when first showing up (or previewing for materials).
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) / (Skipped: General bug/gfx fix)
Fixed a bug where placing some objects, such as trees from treeplanter's pots, would sometimes not show up properly.
Buzzcut Board	2024-02-11	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) / (Skipped: General bug/gfx fix)
Probably fixed the bug where the climbing animation would not actually play while climbing. Could not reproduce reliably, so not entirely sure if fixed. Please report if it still happens.
