Hotfix Update 11-18-2025

I forgot to do a devlog when I put the demo up this weekend, so this can double as the launch devlog. :)

This is the demo for Atomcraft, a falling sand survival crafting game coming out early next year!

We already have a few updates and fixes:

• updated controls: background interaction prompts now use 'Enter', and 'F' will become the flashlight toggle
• added Cooking Tab to the Hub Window - you can now cook Trail Mix, Berries, Nuts, and Slime Shake
• when you cook a food item, it goes into the toolbox inventory - you can put it in the toolbar and press LMB to consume when you have less than 100% health
• player gets the Jetpack by default (no longer an Upgrade) to make it easier to get around
• Jetpack flame does not set things on fire anymore :-p
• to activate interactable pixels like switches and buttons, left-click on them using the Hand tool
• when left-clicking, the hand cursor now animates
• drill no longer picks up non-solid materials
• increased the damage area on the drill to make it easier to kill bats
• bats and other enemies now take much more damage from heat and will die in ambient heat quickly
• fixed an issue with some ores where they couldn't melt if they were piled up
• improved movement of solids falling through liquids
• when molten Silica condenses, it now becomes loose Glass pixels instead of static pixels, so it won't gum things up
• added new background for Buried City biome
• changed render mode from Forward+ to Compatibility, to see if it fixes issues with Whiskey on MacOS
• BUGFIX: itch.io build no longer tries to invoke Steam Client
