Portal & Dungeon Rework

• We've reworked how portals work and how you access dungeons
  
• Previously you would use a portal focus to create a portal to a dungeon and destroy the portal when you were done. Each portal you used would create a new dungeon instance (and remove the last)
  
• Now you can craft a Portal, after researching Basic Combat. This is a reusable placeable object that can be used to enter dungeons
  
• Right clicking on the Portal opens a list of dungeons you can enter, and how much it costs to open the portal.
  
• Opening the portals cost Portal Focus items. These can be collected from defeating monsters in the world.
  
• The current dungeons in the game are:
  
  
  
  • Beetle Caves - Level 2 monsters - Costs 1 Portal Focus to create
    
  • Imperial Halls - Level 3 monsters - Costs 2 Portal Focus to create
    
  
  
• When you are done with a dungeon you can right click the portal and select 'Close Dungeon'. This lets you open up more dungeons
  
• Dungeons now spawn with a return portal that will return you to your respawn point when entered
  

Imperial Halls

• Venture through the halls and collect items to unlock its massive locked doors
  
• Confront the Imperial Commander boss and defeat him for mythic loot
  
• A new enemy 'Imperial Slayer' has been added to the game. This dangerous enemy lurks the Imperial Halls and is ready attack you with his very large axe.
  
• Added Giant Marble Door and Marble Lion the game. These can only be found in the Imperial Halls
  

New Locations

• We've added 6 new delightful locations to the Cheery Steps biome!
  
• Discover a small fort or loot an abandoned marble worksite for its hidden treasure
  
• The Lake biome also got 5 new waterlogged locations!
  
• Wade into the lake's waters to find remains of wrecks or underwater ruins, or just take a break on a relaxing island
  
• This brings our total number of revitalized biomes to 10, which is half the biomes in the Ficterra! You can expect our next couple updates to also revitalize more biomes
  

Variants

• Three new Variants have been added to Ficterra
  
• You can now use Bottom Half Ramps and Top Half Ramps. These have half the slope of normal ramps.
  
• With these you can create more gradual inclines that Cars can traverse. You can also connect then to Half Cubes to more smoothly transition into normal Cubes
  
• The last variant we've added is the Half Corner Ramp. This is for when you want a roof corner, but the corner below is a sideways ramp. The normal Corner Ramp creates a weird overhang, while this connects exactly

Loot Rework

• RPG Items now drop from monsters and loot chests found in the world. We wanted players to be able to engage in RPG gameplay before the end game. Now you should get gear to wear fairly easily by just defeating wandering monsters and looting common chests
  
• The RPG items found in the world are Power Level 1. We've increased the Power Level of items dropped in the Beetle Caves dungeon to 2

• Loot Chests can drop items of their rarity and have a low chance of dropping the next higher rarity
  
• Mythic Loot Chest have a higher chance of dropping mythic items
  
• We now use the Drop Table system used in mods for loot chest and monster drops. This gives us more control over what drops and consolidates the two systems
  
• World monsters now have a 50% chance to drop an extra item from the Common Drop Table
  
• Golems have a 50% chance to drop an extra item from the Rare Drop Table

If you beach your boat however, you can just pick it up and place it back in the water, no hassle! Wooden boats can be made with Planks at the Woodshop
  
• Ladders have been added to Ficterra. Simply walk into a ladder to start climbing up it. You can place multiple ladders in column to make a larger ladder.

• Objects now place a default 0.01m on top of surfaces. This is closer than the 0.05m previously. When placing smaller objects (such as candles) the larger gap was very noticeable. Objects with physics will still 'fall' to approach a 0m gap

• Fixed a bug where outer half pipe corner ramps mesh was rotated wrong. This made placing these corners very difficult. It is now the same as all other outer corners. This change affects old worlds, and will cause these cubes to rotate
  

Other
