The remaining time can be seen in the /c dip change GUI or /c dip show.

Structures

In this update, some structures got added which has an impact on war and general daily tasks.

Walls

Walls have been changed to have a chunk-wide patern now and the height will be the same if you build it next to another wall. In ordrer to correctly build a wall, you also have wall gates with NPC's to open and close the wall gate and wall corners.

Players are not able to dig through, under or over it until the wall chunk above has been destroyed. It also blocks any arrows show by Ender Bows.

  • HP has been increased from 1,000 HP to 1,250 HP
  • If you break a block under it during War-Time, it will turn into stone like any other structure block
  • TnT is no longer in place for this structure since TnT has been removed from the game.

Butchery

Always getting annoyed or tired by killing pasture mobs yourself? Wait no longer! The Butchery has been added into the game with special kind of swords! Whenever you input pasture eggs and a (preferred, explained later) sword, the Butcher will kill the mobs for you and output it's loot into the output chest.

The Butcher places one mob every 20 seconds and kills them shortly after.

Rates

Each type of mob has it's preferred custom sword. Whenever you insert it's preferred sword the drops are increased. Below are the default rates without any buffs for each mob;

  • Cow
  • Beef: Minimum 1, maximum 3
  • Leather: Minimum 0, maximum 2
  • Sheep
  • Mutton: Minimum 1, maximum 2
  • Pig
  • Porkchop: Minimum 1, maximum 3
  • Chicken
  • Chicken Meat: Minimum 1, maximum 1
  • Feathers: Minimum 0, maximum 2

If you input a preferred sword, you will get a bonus of 1 flat. However, each level of looting adds 1 to the maximum amount. The technology Advanced Efficiency also adds 1 bonus to the maximum output. Once the mob is killed, we will roll a dice with it's eyes being the maximum amount of items and we insert the item into the chest where the dice landed on. Afterwards, we are adding the one flat bonus from it's preferred sword.

Swords

Like stated above, you can use preferred swords to get more output from them. Soon we will fill the wikipedia with all the correct pictures of crafting recipes. Each tier has 4 types of swords, the Pig Butchery Sword, the Sheep Butchery Sword, the Cow Butchery Sword and the Chicken Butchery Sword.

Tier 1 uses the 8 Crafted meat which is crafted by using 9 meat . You also require an Iron Sword in the middle.

Tier 2 uses Refined meat which is crafted by using 9 Crafted meat. You also require a Steel Sword in the middle

Tier 3 uses Reinforced meat which is crafted by using 9 Refined meat. You also require a Carbide Sword in the middle

Tier 4 uses Robust meat which is crafted by using 9 Reinforced meat. You also require a Titanium Sword in the middle

You can also use the swords manually, but only if you're a civilian unit.

Fletchery

Wanting to wage war, but are you tired of endlessly crafting arrows yourself? I have the perfect solution for you!

The Fletchery structure is a new levelable structure which processes 5 planks, 5 gravel and 1 feather into 5 arrows. To even get faster output of your Fletchery, you can upgrade it. Per level, it will have 10% more chance to process another time, non stackable.

Upgrading

At technologies Fortification, Global War and Compass you can upgrade your Fletchery to it's next level. Below is it's cost per level.

Level 2: 5000 coins, 500 hammers

Level 3: 7500 coins, 1000 hammers

Level 4: 12000 coins, 1250 hammers

Level 5: 17500 coins, 1750 hammers

Adventure's Guild

Together with re-adding the cooldown on /t changetown (listed in misc), it's time to make it easier to manage towns. One of the changes we've added to make it easier is an Adventure's Guild. Since quests are selectable now (listed in misc), you can walk to the other town to select a quest to complete it, or you can build this structure to select the quest from here!

You can select a quest from every town inside your Civilization to progress, when selected it will add progress on it and multiple people can select it all at the same time!

Whenever it's completed, you will still have to claim it in the same GUI, or in it's structure.
