"0.1.8 - Cog System and Bug Fixes
- Added a cog-based logic system. This includes timers, logic gates, dart traps, a new cog workbench item, recievers, pressure plates, levers, a wall button, and now all light sources can be turned on and off (except the beacons). This new system works on ""pulses"". Levers, buttons, and pressure plates emit pulses when you activate them. This pulse surges through all cogs that are touching the tile you activated. If an object (door, light source, dart trap, explosive barrel, reciever, timer) is connected to the cog network, it will toggle it's state (or explode if it's an explosive barrel). Timers that are in the ""on"" state constantly emit pulses. Timers can be manually turned on by interacting with them. Timers are the only items whose state will reset when the game closes. Also, timers that are activated most recently will fire FIRST. This means timers can chain. Logic gates work by assessing any recievers that are directly connected to them. They'll change their output (at their position) based on the on or off state of these nearby recievers. Unlike the video I sent in the patreon chat, these now send a pulse both when they activate, and when they deactivate. So if an ""AND"" gate has all of it's nearby recievers turn on, it'll send a pulse. But then if one of them goes off, it'll send another pulse. This seems counter-intuitive, but is actually more intuitive when you're using it.
- Added an advanced crafting table item. You can no longer craft as much stuff by hand and need to use the table.
- Added a worm enemy underground
- Fixed a bug where some AOE effects don't do damage
- Fixed a bug where the living flame enemies are invisible
- Fixed a bug where you can avoid heat damage by dodging
- Fixed various other typos and bugs. There are still a handful I haven't gotten to.
I would LOVE to hear what ideas you guys have for improvements to the logic system. For the most part, I do what terraria does. I'd also like to hear any ideas for new things that can operate with it. I think it would be cool to have something that could take items from nearby stuff (like furnaces and harvestable crops) and place things into nearby chests. But that's more a ""later on"" thing, I think."
