Friday Blog 207 - Functional Traps!
Image from Wikipedia
In our last blog, we suggested traps as the solution to a myriad of problems. The general response was enthusiastic, so weve been working on implementing it. Zun worked on the technical side of things, and things went very well there.
I had to work on integrating the new jobs and recipes properly in the 0.9.0 tech tree. And I struggled quite a bit with that. It felt like the keystone that completes an arch. We stacked up features on the left, we stacked up features on the right, and traps were the last feature needed to complete the system. And that last step is the most difficult one, because it has to make sure everything is properly balanced. An issue comparable to this one, 140 blogs ago. It took a while, but weve figured it out and things are moving forward again!
In the meanwhile, Zun tested prototype-traps. Heres an image of such a trap defeating monsters!

Loaded traps are temporarily using the stove mesh, empty traps use the writer's desk mesh
We ran into a new technical problem that had some interesting visualizations. Blocks like crates and jobblocks have access points. These are places right next to the crate where colonists can stand to use these blocks. In 0.8.0, thats only right next to the block.

...crates like here are visualized as

....green = crate, red = access point
This is problematic for certain new traps. Some traps can only be aimed upwards, others can only be aimed downwards. It makes sense to reload these traps when standing on top of them, or below them. It also makes sense to integrate traps in walls at the height of the torso instead of on the floor - these should also be able to be reloaded by colonists standing next to them. So Zun improved the access points system to be able to deal with these new situations.

So weve now got an internal dev build with functional prototype traps, and a detailed path on how to integrate them in the tech tree. We expect to have pretty functional 0.9.0 gameplay, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, by this time next week!

[ 2021-11-05 15:04:19 CET ] [ Original post ] Build your own village, castle or city and populate it with colonists! Let guards, farmers, miners, foresters, bakers, smelters and artisans work for you. After the sun has set, most colonists will go to bed, but the enemy awakens. A horde of monsters will assault your colony and try to slaughter you and your villagers. Defend your colony with walls, moats and guards!
- Multiplayer support: play with friends and strangers!
- Advanced pathfinding: colonists and zombies will find their way in the world you've build. They will dynamically navigate stairs, bridges and tunnels.
- Explore a world with realistically placed biomes. A giant jungle in the center of the world, surrounded by savannas, deserts and temperate biomes. Two polar regions in the far north and south.
- Support for textures and language packs created by players
- Dynamic lighting and eye adaptation
- Voice your suggestions and be part of the development of Colony Survival!
