v0.1.7

☢️ Breaking Changes

• N/A

✨ What's New

• Added a new debug command /avp debug hive layer current to check which layer of a hive the player is currently in.

♻️ Changes

• Updated female marine model + hair_5 texture.
• Irradiated queens now have a chance of spawning naturally in irradiated biomes.
• Hives are now broken up into layers:
  • Every hive is now represented as a "sphere" of influence.
  • The sphere consists of different layers. From closest to furthest away from the hive center, the layers are as follows:
    • Center Layer (Core). The queen resides here.
    • Praetorian Layer. Where Praetorians can naturally spawn.
    • Drone Layer. Where drones can naturally spawn. In the future, ovomorphs will be moved here by drones.
    • Warrior Layer. Where warriors can naturally spawn.
    • Edge Layer. Nothing spawns here, this is the border of the hive.
    • Leash Layer. Aliens can exit the core hive (resin area), but still be members of the hive beyond it if they are within this layer.
    • Buffer Layer. This is a layer double the width of the core layers + leash layer. No other hives (of the same variant) can form here.
  • Currently, this hive layering is only used for natural spawning. Later on the alien AI will have a bias towards resting in their respective layers.
• Aliens can now place resin nodes above blocks they can't replace.
  • Previously, aliens could only replace certain blocks with resin nodes. This lead to the alien being unable to put resin nodes down in areas with irreplaceable blocks.
  • Now, aliens can place resin nodes in open air blocks above blocks they can't replace, allowing them to spread resin veins in nearly all places.
• Added the following configuration options:
  • ABERRANT_CHESTBURSTER_SPAWN
  • ABERRANT_DRONE_SPAWN
  • ABERRANT_OVAMORPH_SPAWN
  • ABERRANT_PRAETORIAN_SPAWN
  • ABERRANT_QUEEN_SPAWN
  • ABERRANT_WARRIOR_SPAWN
  • IRRADIATED_DRONE_SPAWN
  • IRRADIATED_PRAETORIAN_SPAWN
  • IRRADIATED_QUEEN_SPAWN
  • IRRADIATED_WARRIOR_SPAWN
• Removed the following configuration options:
  • NATURAL_SPAWNING_ENABLED
    • This config option wasn't actually used in the code.
  • ADULT_SPAWNING_ENABLED
    • Following the recent hive spawning changes, this config option is no longer all that useful.
  • YOUNG_SPAWNING_ENABLED
    • Following the recent hive spawning changes, this config option is no longer all that useful.
  • REMOVE_VANILLA_SPAWNS
    • Highly specific spawn configuration like this option provided is better suited for other mods to handle, not AVP.
  • MINIMUM_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_HIVES_IN_BLOCKS
    • This has now been replaced with MINIMUM_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_NATURAL_QUEEN_SPAWNS_IN_CHUNKS, which more accurately describes what the original config option was used for.

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed uprooted ovomorphs not despawning even if they have already hatched.
