Core Keeper Archipelago 1.2.0-rc.2

Core Keeper Archipelago 1.2.0-rc.2

Prerelease for Core Keeper 1.3.0.4 (Steam build 25625027).

• Adds 67 checks for the new equipment, pets, enemies, food, blocks, saddles, and Orex content, bringing the catalog to 1,182 checks.
• Adds Veil Crux Cache as a legendary reward. Legendary acquisition does not create checks; Orex and its truffle are available before the wall.
• Updates Core Rewards for the game's native chest UI changes.
• Updates the tracker for the new checks and fixes cattle and pet color palettes.
• Fixes the local texture installer to extract all twelve skill icons at the main menu, producing all 120 skill-level icons automatically.
• Fixes the APWorld manifest version format accepted by Archipelago.

Generate a new AP room to include the new checks. Existing published item and location IDs are preserved. Back up saves before testing.

Install core_keeper.apworld through Archipelago's Install APWorld option. The texture-free tracker works directly; the optional Windows tracker installer generates game artwork locally. Close Core Keeper before running it.

Validation: mod and extractor compile; catalog, generation, client-state and tracker checks passed during candidate preparation. The packaged tracker installer was tested against a fresh game export, including all twelve skill sprites and cattle palettes. The APWorld passes Archipelago's manifest parser. Most gameplay tests have been confirmed by the maintainer; remaining gameplay coverage is why this release is marked prerelease.

Enemy randomizer additions are outside this update's scope.

Core Rewards

Core Rewards is enabled by default for newly generated worlds. Physical AP rewards wait in a 36-slot inventory at the Core, using Core Keeper’s native chest interface. Right-click the selected Core to collect them; normal Core dialogue remains available.

The inventory accepts AP rewards only. Excess rewards queue until space becomes available, and stored rewards persist between sessions. Licenses and skill points still apply immediately. The option tooltip explains access on its own second line.

Fixes

• Teleporting no longer sends DeathLink.
• The recipe icon cannot bypass a blocked furnace.
• Colored AP check messages fade with the game’s normal message display.
• Disabled checks no longer produce “Checked” messages or get submitted.

Use the matching 1.1.0 mod and APWorld. Existing generated worlds retain their original options; regenerate to change Core Rewards.

Known limitation: the all-checks generation test reported Purple Glowbug as unreachable in logic. This release does not claim to resolve that existing logic issue.
