# Beetlebox 1.2 Changelog ## _there ain't room in this tank for the boths of us..._ ## DISCLAIMER Due to the substantive nature of the stat rewrite, beetles from 1.1.1 and before may not properly port over to the new version. Take caution when upgrading worlds! ## equipment ### the bugslinger - Fires beetles from jars - All beetles use their relevant stats (damage and speed) - Tamed beetles follow class behavior - Infantry beetles land and begin combat - Projectile beetles return to their owner - Beetlepack jars load automatically, main inventory jars require manual loading - Color-coded indicator lets you know how many clicks you need to fire your next bug - Scrollwheel allows selecting different Beetlepack jars while aiming ## beetle stats - Stats now range from level 1.0 to 4.0 - These limits can be slightly exceeded in either direction based on the beetle's initial stats and jelly usage - Rough estimates and comparisons follow | | size | speed | damage | health | |---|---|---|---|---| | base | 0.8 | 0.2 | 2.0 | 1.0 | | operation (B: base, L: level) | `B*L` | `B*(L/0.7)` | `B*L` | `B*(L^2+L)` | | at level 1.0 | 0.8 (~0.5m) | 0.285 (slightly above player base) | 2.0 (1 heart) | 2.0 (1 heart) | | at level 4.0 | 3.6 (~3m) | 1.14 (absurdly fast) | 8.0 (4 hearts) | 20.0 (player health) | ## beetle jelly - Two new jellies: Honey and Cactus - Cactus replaces Berry as the Damage-affecting jelly - Berry and Honey jellies make beetles Projectile and Infantry class, respectively - Material quality now impacts jelly level - All jelly impacts stats by 0.2 - Beetles will not eat jelly below their level in the relevant stat - (e.g. level 3 jelly is required to bring a beetle from level 2.9 to level 3.1) - Higher-level jelly is unaffected - (e.g. level 3 jelly will work on a level 1 beetle) ## configuration - Beetlebox now has a configuration file! - Generates on launching the game if none is found - Ignores spaces - Comments are allowed on their own lines or at the end of other lines, designated by a `#` - I tried to make the names self-explanatory; lmk if you have questions ## tweaks - New Beetlepack model and texture - New Kabutomushi texture - Emigrator now only pulls tamed beetles, meaning taming can be fully automated - Beetles fired from beetlepack now use their stats as with bugslinger ## bugfixes - Fully rewrote most renderers; expect faster client response time - Fully rewrote tank and beetlepack inventory management, expect more consistent operations
