Patch 2.2.10 - Bricks and Baubles [Updated Apr 15]
Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2022 7:57 pmGreetings Pilgrims,
Marp Giveth
- Changed Brick of Fallen Sodom and Gomorrah to Brick of Fallen Sodom. Added Brick of Fallen Gomorrah as a separate item.
- Added new pavements (and the items used to pave them): Blue Brick (Brick of Fallen Jericho), White Brick (Brick of Fallen Babel), Black Brick (Brick of Fallen Sodom), and Green Brick (Brick of Fallen Gommorah).
- Increased profession value of slotted gems based on the size (carats) of the gem similar (but not identical) to how size effects Affluence.
- Added two new gems: rhodolite and andalusite.
- Added new pavements for each gem in the color that they appear in their icons.
- Because the largest coded icon for gem size was less probable to discover than being struck by lightning, adjusted code so that all sizes above 2.99 carats will feature a "big" gem icon.
- Added new inspirational - Dark Feathers.
- Added new variation of the Chief's Headdress - Crow Headdress.
- Players can now put bones, darkenbones, black sand, and mortar into stockbins.
- Added a new building - Skull Totem
- Added new Skill - Bioluminescent Applications (required to make glowworm stuff and catch the little buggers)
- Added new Skill - Boneworks (required to make bone stuff)
- Doubled rummaging bonus chance functionality.
Marp Taketh Away
- Players can no longer salvage mortars or poop claims (Challenge Authority objects).
- Defensive tower crits suck up a little bit more fuel than normal hits.
- Defensive towers no longer refresh awake time just because it shoots an enemy.
Bug Fixes:
- With the help of shotgunmollusk, I standardized the tile order in the world and on the minimap so that they should no longer rearrange themselves upon the server restarting. I'm sure some of them will end up looking worse than before as a result of the change, so feel free to voice your opinion. In the future, new pavements/tiles will be entered into this master system to have a place in the hierarchy we've created. Here is the nearly complete graphic ("lowest" [dswamp] on the bottom left, "highest" [snow] on the top right.
What's Next?:
- Delicious Beverages
- PvP adjustments
- Salvage
- Inheritance
- Horses
BONUS PATCH - 4/15/2022

-Tweaked formula to slightly reduce lower end of gem civilian slotted benefits. Slightly reduced slotting chance and increased range making LL matter a bit more (except starburst, where LL can give 100% slot chance).
-Several of you have voiced the opinion that gems are now OP, and I can see that after collecting them for 6 years they might seem that way.
However, I assure you that high carat gems are incredibly rare, made all the more difficult by the hardness rating and inherent difficulty of more complex cuttings. If they need additional tweaking, I will be happy to oblige, but
I think these values are in-line and gives the gem industry a much needed boost.
- (Hopefully) made it so that skulltotems no longer disappear when area is unloaded.
- Reorganized tile load order based on early criticism. In short, the foliage of coniferous and fen are now backed down to the "grass" level" and reordered paves so gneiss is lower and golden brick is higher.
- Removed insanity AOE from witnessing a baby livestock animal murder.
- New 3D models for Rye Bread, Tortilla, Taco, Fish Taco, Bajgiel, and Clay.
- Restored ability to create glowwormcapes.
- Changed Capes and Cloaks icon to no longer feature a coat.
- Created two new crafting subgroups under equipment - Armour & Cladding and Purses & Bags to clear up some of the overflow.
- Adjusted requirements of skullpin, Fleurs Du Mal, bone buttons, and lucky die to feature boneworks.
- Corrected bounding box orientation of domestic animals.
- Rotten walnuts can now go into Nut Sacks.

- Added a new item: Gem Box. It holds gems, both cut and uncut.
In the event that you're feeling both whimsical and generous, feel free to swing by the store to check out the new Jester Hat. Also, I'll be retiring the Phrygian Cap in a few days where it will be locked up in the Salem vault. So, if you haven't grabbed yours yet, be sure to do so!
