Finding new tools and weapons

You can find these new tools and weapons in various locations. Tools and schematics can be found in various loot chests around the world. The wandering trades has a good chance of spawning with every single schematics from this update, so if you want to find them all, the Wandering trader is your best bet.

Throwing mechanic

Some items, like Kunai and spears can now be thrown! By holding the use button, you will throw the item, similarly to how you would throw a trident. The weapons throwing range will be determined by the initial speed and weight of the weapon. It can be picked from the ground and will drop as an item upon hitting an entity.

Upgradeable items

A lot of items are now using the Feature system to add new interactions and behaviours to items. These items can be used in a variety of different tool slots.

New gems

The new gem system is a lot simpler and focused. Gems are based on available minerals, and provide simple attribute improvements. Each gem has five levels, where the bonus increases every level. All gems follow a similar upgrade path.

Obtaining gems

Obtaining a level 1 gem is currently based on a very low drop chance from mining the mineral ore. Gems that does not have a corresponding ore, can be found in relevant chests.

Using gems

All bindings and guards have a slot for gems. This means that tools and weapons which have room for a binding or a sword guard can have a single gem. Upgrading bindings with gems can be done in the upgrade station.

Upgrading gems

All gems use the same upgrade path between levels. Gems is considered to be end-game features, and reaching higher gem levels require you to progress through the game.

Level 1 -> Level 2: Crafted by surrounding the gem in amethyst shards.

Level 2 -> Level 3: Stone cutting the level 2 gem

Level 3 -> Level 4: Combine level 3 gem and dragons breath.

Level 4 -> Level 5: Combine level 4 gem and a nether star.

Upcoming 0.13 content

Not everything was ready for the initial 0.13 release, so we had to delay some new features and items to get the update out of the door a bit quicker.

Crossbows

Crossbows are in the works, and makes it possible to craft custom crossbow limbs and stocks. These will be available in Wood and metals variants and can be combined to create a wide range of crossbow configurations. It is going to work similarly to vanilla crossbows, so they will be slow to load, will retain a loaded arrow and packs a real punch. #1100

Tridents

Support for tridents is also in the works. Tridents will be almost identical to the vanilla trident, but will be available in all materials. Trident enchantments will also be supported. #1101

Mattocks

Mattocks were initially slated for the 0.13 release, but is now going to be a dedicated release due to the work required to get it ready. #1119

Changes

A lot of stuff has been removed or discarded to better align and balance the mod. The stuff that has been removed has either been poorly implemented, reworked in this released or was just not ready for release yet. Here is a full overview.

Conditions on tools have been disabled

Due to the unstable nature and lack of clear direction for the conditions on tools, they have currently been disabled. Parts and schematics looted from chests and other location no longer have a chance of getting random conditions. This feature has been disabled until we can rework it. Existing conditions on parts and schematics will still work, but you will not be able to find new ones.

Deprecated packages

Several items from the extended package are now outdated, as they have either been reworked, discarded or replaced. This means they are no longer included by default with Forgero and will be permanently removed in an upcoming release. Probably Forgero - 0.14. To make it easier to upgrade and test this new release these packages have been moved into a dedicated module.

How to upgrade

If you are scared of loosing items, it is always a good idea to back up your save game before updating to the latest major version of this mod. If you have previously used Forgero in your game instance, there will already be a generated config file, which means that the deprecated packages will be loaded as normal when upgrading. No items will be deleted in this case, and you can use the old tools, weapons and gems as before, including the new ones.

It is recommended to remove the forgero_settings.json file from the config directory and restart the game. This will disable the deprecated package by default and you will only have the new tools and weapons. When starting the mod for the first time, this will be the default behaviour.

As an alternative, you can add this to the forgero_settings.json file. This will make sure all deprecated packs are disabled.
