Carpe-Diem
A peaceful campaign mod which focuses on factory building. Build production lines, decode archives, and launch landing pods across the sectors of Asphodel, a cold planet ravaged by the forces of war. Salvage what remains of the Coalition, and restore their industry to its former glory. This mod is mostly complete in terms of implemented content, but its campaign is still unfinished. Either way, I hope you'll enjoy what the mod has to offer.Authors:
Beta Build 15
carpe diem is now on v160.5 to fix an issue where cores wouldn't show their configuration
Beta Build 14
possibly fixed a crash involving crafters which automatically selected recipes (such as the smelter and press) using thread-unsafe code in the ambient audio thread
Beta Build 13
Fixed a bug where the intro cutscene for The Reserve would erroneously last 60 times longer than usual
Beta Build 12
interference has NOT been added yet. Sorry ! Carpe Diem has been ported to Mindustry build 159.7 to make use of some of the new API changes. Aside from that,
- landing pods can now properly be requested to craft items in multiplayer
- sprites have been added for the three rocket components
- the track "Terawatt" has been remade
- some logic blocks now idly glow
- bundle entries have been added for certain environment blocks which were missing them
- the payload crane has been recolored orange
- landing pods have been given sounds for their doors opening/closing
- fan pressure consumption has been doubled
- probably some other changes I haven't mentioned enjoy...... build 12......
Beta Build 11
fixed a bug where archives would Not require anything to be decoded
also added wip logic blocks and removed the disclaimer on startup
Beta Build 10
carpe diem is now on v158 due to the removal of the unit ammo system which drones previously relied on
other than that a few changes have also been made as well
- some balancing changes probably
- basically EVERY block which used a placeholder item requirement has now received proper item requirements. except for the rocket blocks but you don't have to worry about that yet anyway 😇
- fog of war has been disabled on asphodel
- a few extra hints have been added
- payload components and material blocks now show up in their own subcategory in the core database
should be noted that drone power won't save properly due to a bug in v158.1
Beta Build 9
carpe diem is on v157 now
fixed some things. most notably a crash which would occur when placing cable nodes due to some changes made in v156
Beta Build 8
more fixes, still no new sectors
Beta Build 7
literally just one fix for the combustion smelter
Beta Build 6
the mod is in "beta" now. not that it really means anything, there's still three sectors left to be added before i can truly say the mod is complete
this build just fixes a few issues people were having with the mod, like the silver-sand recipe not working properly and the payload manufacturing grid crashing when viewed in the core database
Alpha Build 5
oh my god FORWARD OUTPOST HAS BEEN ADDED!!!!! GO go mess around have fun with liquid blocks and payload crafting or whatever Silver please remember that i am horrible at balancing if you think something needs changes please tell me
no changelog this time i can't be bothered. just play the mod ok? ok
Alpha Build 4
IMPORTANT: carpe diem's payload loader and unloader have been reworked in this build, any old saves containing these blocks may break
there is STILL no new campaign content...
Changelog
this doesnt cover everything btw just the big changes
- Ported the mod to v155.3
- Reworked the Payload Loader and Payload Unloader. Instead of accepting payloads directly and interacting with them, they now interact with payloads which are on the block in front of them.
- Added the Spring Launcher, which launches units towards a given location
- Added the Payload Depot, which holds payloads in place until they meet a given condition
- Added the Heavy-Duty Drill, an even more advanced drill for mining platinum
- Several blocks have received visual updates
- Redesigned the Pressurization Chamber and Pump
- Updated sprites for the Combustion Smelter, Provider/Receiver Container, Cable Tower, Accumulator, Geothermal Burner, and Steam Boiler
- Added sprites for several of the material blocks
