0.506a - Containers and inventory! Godstack improvements!

MODLANDS
A downloadable game

This week's update is now live! This adds containers to the game! Gather up all your random items and store them! This is the first step towards a major goal of the next few weeks - getting the colonists to gather their products in designated containers.

I've also made some major requested quality-of-life improvements to quickgrab and to dropping items from godstacks (stacks of terrain, walls, or other such normally unstackable stuff) - by holding down the button and dragging the mouse you can quickgrab items of similar type, or drop items progressively from a stack without a lot of extra clicking. :)

Also, the shareware version is now called the Demo version - that should make it more clear to people who didn't grow up in the 90s. :D

Features:

  • A range of containers with different sizes are now in the game, and can be crafted by crafters and blacksmiths!
  • All inventories now save/restore correctly! This includes character inventories and containers!
  • Quality-of-life improvement for "godstacks" (stacks of walls, terrain, etc.) - now you can hold LMB and drag to draw a line in the world with items from a stack.
  • You can also hold 'E' to Quickgrab and move the mouse around - as long as you keep holding the button, you'll only grab the same type of entity - this is good for getting everything of a kind in an area without accidentally picking other stuff up! Works for terrain as well!

Misc:

  • Slimes glow now, so they'll stand out more at night :)
  • Nice drag and drop UI for containers of variable sizes
  • When dropped into sales portal, containers will give you money for everything sellable inside (unsellable objects should deflect away when the container is sold)

Bugfixes:

  • Made some internal improvements that may improve frame rate and memory
