This patch focuses on fixing a critical bug with one of the weapons found in the Koywa biome and a cape in a Stardust Merchant's shop (no more Tool Mimic errors).

It also introduces a new food balancing system called Alta BGMR2.

Finally, the patch prepares the game for the 2.4 update.

Main

  • added support for Many Tabs:
    • also added a fallback alta category button for when the mod is not installed.
  • fixed some critical and other issues.

Alta

  • updated icons for Alta Tier 0 Pad, Gyera Loot Crate and Haven Loot Crate;
  • updated rent loot for most Alta Tenants to make it level-dependent and more related to their character/profession;
  • updated prices and rarities for most codexes;
  • updated Alta Datacenter to depend on discovering blueprints:
    • all codexes now discover themselves and other items.

Translation

  • fixed typos in the Ayaka Tree sapling description;
  • fixed typos in the Tavriya Codex and Alta Lab Tanks;
  • moved food aging strings from items/generic/food/ct_ionic_rotting.config:rotTimeDescriptions to items/buildscripts/ct_texts.config:aging.descriptions and made them a dict instead of a list.

Dev

  • added a new consumable item balance system - Alta Bromatology, Gastronomy & Medicine Regulation M2, or Alta BGMR2 for short:
    • it calculates food value, rot time and effect time based on several values that keep items of the same level roughly similar in power;
    • updated default values for food, prepared food, drinks and cooking ingredients;
    • updated existing shop items, produce and cooking ingredients to reflect these changes;
    • unified and refactored food build and aging scripts;
    • improved expiry/aging/fermenting messages:
      • made them more granular (5 -> 20 messages) divided into 4 categories:
        • Fermenting (up to 30 minutes);
        • Fresh (up to 8 hours);
        • Preserved (up to 2 weeks);
        • Unexpirable (up to 256 years).
      • gave them a broader range (300 - 999999 seconds range to 10 - 8078579712, or 10 seconds to 256 years);
      • moved them to a shared translation file and made them easier to translate.
  • added alta_loot and alta_ancient recipe groups for items that normally can only be found through loot and item anvil upgrades;
  • added Alta Universal Information & Knowledge Accumulation, or Alta UIKA - a generated .json document:
    • contains information on how to obtain & use all items in the mod;
    • can be used by items in the game to access enhanced information without having to calculate it on the spot;
    • can be used for generating the wiki.
  • updated Steam and Starbound Forums descriptions;
  • updated the README by adding alternative text and lazy loading to images.

Other

  • decreased Yaara Heart's object collision from 8x8 blocks to 7x7 blocks and added gaps in it to make it easier for world gen to spawn it;
  • fixed incorrect item mimics in the Koywa Chest and in the Stardust Merchant shop;
  • updated colony tags on crops;
  • minor bug fixes.
