• The type of alien added to hives from mob kills is no longer a 50/50 chance between a drone or a runner, but now depends on the type of mob killed.
  • Runner hosts will add runners to the hive's reserves. All other mobs add to the drone count in the hive's reserves.
• Alien hives no longer grow from mob kills if the mob killed was another alien.
  • This prevents infinite hive wars if multiple enemy hives are near each other.
• The number of aliens added to hives from mob kills now scales with the killing alien's bonus embryo count gene value.
  • For example if an alien has a bonus embryo count of 2 and it kills a pig, then the hive gains 1 + 2 runner aliens.
• Eating a chorus fruit while infected with a chestburster now only grants 10% warp gene strength to the chestburster instead of 100%.
  • Warp genes now start off at 10% strength and gain 10% additional strength each generation, up to 100%.
  • Warp gene strength will determine the chance the warp xeno has to teleport.
    • For projectiles, the warp xeno with 10% warp gene strength will have a 10% chance to dodge projectiles, 20% for 20%, and so on up until 100% dodge rate.
    • For any attack, warp xenos previously had a fixed 10% chance to teleport. This is now 1% at 10% warp gene strength, 2% at 20%, and so on up until 10% chance to teleport.
  • Based on player feedback, we decided that the warp gene providing full strength within the first generation was too punishing. We want to allow people to still make warp xenos at full strength, but we don't want warp xenos to be impossible to kill after only a single generation (they are immune to projectiles like bullets at 100% strength!). This patch should be a fair compromise by not punishing players severely for simple chorus fruit usage to save their lives, while also not preventing them from achieving warp xenos with full strength (with a bit more effort and intent).
• Optimized memory usage whenever direction math is involved in certain features, such as:
  • Power system pathfinding
  • Flamethrower's fire spread
  • Xenomorph vent creation checks
  • Xenomorph vent spawning checks
  • Gene operation decoding on entity load

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed numerous rendering issues for aliens, predators and marines by upgrading AzureLib.
• Fixed uranium ingot recipe data name.
• Fixed irradiated hives growing in size due to mob kills (irradiated hives aren't supposed to grow in size because they are infertile).

✍️ Developer Notes

• For help or other questions, concerns, etc. check out our Discord server: https://discord.gg/wp7mvmbkVb
• This is a small patch that updates the required AzureLib version. AzureDoom has been busy grinding away at fixing bugs with AzureLib. Please update to this version if you've experienced any of the following rendering bugs:
  • Marines rendering incorrectly when invisible
  • Marines rendering incorrectly when glowing
  • Armors like the MK50 not rendering correctly on players
  • Resonator blocks rendering incorrectly
  • Alien animations do not smoothly transition between one another like they used to
  • Any other rendering bugs not listed here
• There are also some fixes for structure generation:
  • Please note that while marines no longer spawn naturally in human structures, there will still be marines that spawn in/around the structures with preset spawn points. This change was made to prevent infinite marine exploits.

✍️ Developer Notes

• For help or other questions, concerns, etc. check out our Discord server: https://discord.gg/wp7mvmbkVb
• This is a small update that buffs the marines a little. AzureLib 3.0.30 fixes a long-standing bug where custom armors would not render correctly on non-player entities. Since that bug has now been fixed, it's only fitting that marines finally wear the tactical armor that was made for them. :) This also buffs marines so that they can tank more damage!
• While this update is small, it is a prelude to a larger upcoming update where the marines will have their AI overhauled. For those who don't know, the marines use an AI system separate from the MC AI system(s). That system has recently been optimized and improved, paving the way for more complex entity behaviors in the future. Marines have always been the "test subject" for this AI system. Once the marine AI is up to our standards, we'll apply the same AI system to predators and then aliens.

• Slight overhaul to marines and their default equipped armor:
  • Marines now always spawn in with a full set of armor.
    • Because marines now always spawn in with a full set of armor, this should improve their survivability against enemy mobs (especially aliens) dramatically.

v0.2.3

✍️ Developer Notes

• For help or other questions, concerns, etc. check out our Discord server: https://discord.gg/wp7mvmbkVb
• This update introduces an overhaul to how weapon ammunition is crafted. We felt that the bullet recipes were a bit overcomplicated. We also felt that the existing bullet recipes didn't quite mesh well with how bullets are structured in real life. Our goal with these changes is neither to nerf or buff ammunition cost, although either may be a consequence of our bullet crafting rework. All of the costs/yields here are subject to change based on feedback (which you can give in our Discord server linked above! :) )
• This update also changes most bullet yields. Smaller, cheaper ammunition is now more plentiful, while heavier, costly ammunition has kept the same yield amount. The goal with this change is to introduce a new factor for "weaker" guns - cost efficiency. The weaker guns have not had much use, and so we want to encourage more usage of them by making their bullets more plentiful. Please note that the yield for heavy bullets has not changed, only the weaker ammunition types have been given more generous yields.
• Some of the ammunition types now require more of certain resources, such as lead or steel. For example, heavy bullets now make use of steel nuggets in their recipe. We want heavy bullet consuming weapons to be powerful, but we want there to be a cost associated with that power. Brass is very plentiful (as copper and zinc are very plentiful), so we opted for steel as an ingredient to make steel more of a focus for players that want to play with heavy weaponry. As a reminder, guns work with most enchantments that work on bows/crossbows, so if you want to avoid the high cost of ammunition, the infinity enchantment is a good choice (at the cost of no mending, as usual).

☢️ Breaking Changes

• Removed bullet tip item.
  • If you had stockpiles of bullet tip items, they will be replaced with lead nuggets. Considering 4 bullet tips were crafted from 1 lead nugget beforehand, this will give back excess lead nuggets. :)
• Removed small casing item.
  • If you had stockpiles of small casing items, they will be replaced with 1 gunpowder. This means the brass nuggets used to craft them will be lost. Considering how common copper and zinc are, we saw it as more important to give back the gunpowder.
• Removed medium casing item.
  • If you had stockpiles of medium casing items, they will be replaced with 1 gunpowder.
• Removed heavy casing item.
  • If you had stockpiles of heavy casing items, they will be replaced with 1 gunpowder.
• Removed shotgun casing item.
  • If you had stockpiles of shotgun casing items, they will be replaced with 1 gunpowder.
• Removed caseless cartridge item.
  • If you had stockpiles of medium casing items, they will be replaced with 1 gunpowder. This means the clay balls used to craft them will be lost. It was a tough choice between giving back gunpowder and clay balls, but we determined gunpowder to be the resource worth giving back.

v0.2.0

☢️ Breaking Changes

• Renamed avp:ovamorph to avp:ovomorph.
• Parasites no longer implant a parasite type into hosts, now implant correct embryo type.
  • Previously, parasites would store their own entity type to a host. At the time of birth, the embryo type was then computed. This has been changed such that the embryo type is computed immediately and then stored.
  • This means that any currently-infected hosts in your game will not burst and will need to be infected again.

✨ What's New

• Aliens now remember what host type they came from.
• Added new running animations to all xenomorphs.
• Nether aliens now set hurt targets on fire.
• Added two new advancements:
  • "Eviction" - Infected? Eat a chorus fruit to remove the embryo, saving yourself... and dooming the world.
  • "Hive Buster" - Defeat an alien hive.
• Revamped chestbursting:
  • Heartbeats can now be heard by players minutes before they get chestbursted.
  • The heartbeats get progressively faster the closer the player is to chestbursting.
  • 8 seconds before death, the host (not just players) will emit bone crunching sfx and take (0.001 aka fake) damage.
  • The player will also have confusion (nausea) 30 seconds before death.
  • Upon death, a chestburster screech will play as the new killing machine enters the world.
• Revamped genetics system:
  • Gene bonuses are now datapacked.
  • All hosts now provide gene bonuses.
  • Gene bonuses now have a more noticeable impact to xenomorphs.
  • Repeated injections will cause xenomorphs to turn aberrant.
  • Further repeated injections will cause aberrant xenomorphs to turn into boilers.
  • Poison jelly no longer turns royal ovomorphs into royal aberrant ovomorphs.
  • Added a new "gene reader" item:
    • Right-click (nearly) any mob to read their genes.
    • Cycle through different modes to see different types of genes that a mob has.
    • Bonus genes are genes a mob gives that never change. Syringes extract only bonus genes.
    • Dormant genes are genes a mob has, but do not change the mob's stats/behavior.
    • Active genes are genes a mob has and DO change the mob's stats/behavior.
    • When the mob reproduces (animals mating or chestburster bursting), dormant genes become active genes.
  • Added a new "syringe" item:
    • Right-click (nearly) any mob to get their genes.
    • Right-click any entity to add the genes to them.
      • Added genes are "dormant" (do not apply immediately).
      • Dormant genes only manifest on chestbursters born from hosts.
      • Every injection makes the entity's and their offspring's genes "unstable". The more unstable the genes, the more negative effects each successive generation will have.
      • Genes within the syringe can't be immediately seen. Use a gene reader to check the mob you're using a syringe on beforehand!
• Ovomorphs now have hatching AI
  • Ovomorphs now have a "desire" meter for hatching.
  • Changes in the environment (such as light) will increase the desire meter.
  • Movement of nearby hosts will also increase the desire meter.
• Added the queen's ovipositor/eggsack:
  • Queens will create an ovipositor when they are in a hive and are "safe" (they aren't the only hive member).
  • The queen will play a new animation when she is mounted on her ovipositor.
  • Ovipositors are an entity and extend off of the queen. Other mobs will not attack the ovipositor.
  • The queen requires a considerable amount of space as well as stable ground to create her ovipositor.
  • Eggs no longer drop at the queen's feet, but instead at the end of the ovipositor.
  • Egglaying has otherwise remained unchanged.
• Drones (and the newly added runners) now distribute ovomorphs around the hive.
  • Drones/runners like to place eggs with at least a 1-block gap between the eggs.
  • Drones/runners will pick up eggs that are unrooted.
  • When the drones/runners place the egg down at the new location, they will automatically root the egg in place.
• Added new entities:
  • Aberrant Adolescent
  • Aberrant Boiler
  • Aberrant Crusher
  • Aberrant Prowler
  • Aberrant Runner

  • Praetorians can now be given regular royal jelly.
  • All xenomorphs can now be given royal jelly blocks.
  • Queens can no longer be given royal jelly or royal jelly blocks.
