Mycelium spread and containers

  • Attempted fix for mycelium spreading to lawns
  • Changed display of received mail items, so can look in containers
  • Fix so cannot charm animals when you are not allowed to tame them
  • Merchants no longer may be threatened from another floor level
  • Relaxed the checks for structures blocking tunnelling
  • Allow fungus spell to work on lawn
  • Fix for deity loss due to alignment changes
  • A bug with faithful setting on spells was fixed

Mail outside containers

  • You may now mail all mailable items outside containers in order to prevent C.O.D scams. Only liquids should be possible to mail inside containers.
  • Enabled DIG (and DREDGE) under bridges.
  • Enabled planting flowers/grass/moss under bridges.
  • Enable planting of thatch in buildings (so makes grass).
  • Made it so lawn off deed is less likely to revert back to grass.
  • Made it so centred trees auto-planting themselves will stay in centre on deed, and have a 75% chance to stay in centre if off deed.
  • Ignore structure permissions for bridges. E.g. treat it like the items were outside.
  • Removed the Scenario Point reward for moving deities on Valrei using Karma since it was considered an exploit by other players.
  • Modified the height requirement for ability items such as the White Tome of Magic.
  • Removed ability to Absorb on mycelium lawns.
  • Added in a way to get height above water when surveying (helper has to be in water).

Collision Clarification

Yesterday, we included the following in our patch notes:

  • The new collision system may have made some old inaccessible areas accessible depending on how your deed is set up when it comes to walls and structures. You may consider restructuring your deed in order to prevent such access. Proper roofs still collide endlessly upwards which means these can be used to prevent access from above.

Since  then, a number of players have raised concerns about what this means in practice and how they can ensure their settlements are protected. Some also wonder whether this is the implementation of jumping (or flying) in all but name.

Firstly I will say that the collision system does not allow players to jump. Neither flying nor jumping have been implemented by this update. The issue is the new collision system allows players to fall over things they never could before from height.

Models for unfinished staircases

  • Models for unfinished staircases and ladders were added.
  • Enabled renaming of bridges by the planner.
  • Fixed dioptra and range pole QL so they restrict the length of bridge planning correctly.

  • Fix for creatures not pathing properly through doors etc
  • Fix for logging on to wrong floor level
