Hey everyone! The Cartography Update is now live on the testing branch. To access the testing branch, follow the instructions here. We are very excited for you to finally be able to chart your world as you explore! Please help us knock out any bugs by testing out the map and letting us know your thoughts. Change Log: - Added a player journal. - Added a map. The map starts out blank, so you will have to fill it out manually while you explore. You can open it by pressing ‘x’ or ‘m’. Note that this means that ‘x’ no longer works as an alternate button for ‘escape’. - Added a new NPC to be found in the world. - Most journals are now flagged as unique. This means that if you already have a particular journal item, then it no longer has a chance to drop. - You now press and hold the normal interact button to retrieve placed objects. - Reduced the density of some cosmetic foliage on jungle islands to improve performance. - You can no longer save the game while dead. - Added option in main menu load interface to load the game as it was when you last manually saved it. This will revert all inventory changes back to that point. - Made saving system more robust (less error prone). - Minor performance improvements. - Swapped left and right click functions when interacting with items in your inventory. Left clicking now equips/activates the item while right clicking now brings up the item details window. Increased the resolution of some item icons.
