# 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

# Beetlebox 1.1.1 Changelog ## tweaks - Boilers use 50% less water - Less important keybinds now start unbound --- ## bugfixes - All keybinds now have names - Beetles in tanks no longer jitter - Fixed husks incorrectly awarded from tank usage - (1.20.1) Beetlepack icons work properly

# Beetlebox 1.1.0 Changelog ## mechanics ### Beetle Breeding - requires a Candle and a Flower, and two beetles placed in tank - once Larva is produced, it can be collected into Larva Jar - resultant Larvae will take an assortment of traits from both parents - Larvae rearing requires patience. the Beetlepack and Incubator can help. ### Beetle Taming - requires two (unique) Logs, any Jelly Cup, a Mushroom, and a beetle placed in tank - once the beetle eats the jelly five times, it will becomes tames - once Larva is produced, it can be collected into Larva Jar - the type of Mushroom used determine the class of the resulting tamed beetle: Red Mushrooms create Infantry Beetles, and Brown Mushrooms create Projectile Beetles. --- ## machines ### NEW: Incubator - speeds up Larva growth - 6 slots for Larva Jars ### REMADE: Beetle Tank - allows for beetle taming and breeding - all operations require a Substrate base - has additional slots for decor ### TWEAKED: Boiler - 2000mb max, 250mb usage ### REMOVED: Legendary Tank - doesn't have any real purpose as is, and needs a substantive rewrite before it will work with the new tank mechanics --- ## tools ### NEW: Beetlepack - backpack for your bugs - opens with configurable keybind ('b' by default) - occupies chest slot, or back slot if Trinkets is installed - 6 slots for Beetle/Larva Jars - deploys tamed beetles - in combat, as either Infantry or Projectiles (depending on beetle class) - Infantry Beetles attack like regular mobs, as ground units - once the beetles close in, this can deal heavy damage, but leave your bugs susceptible to damage - Projectile Beetles fire like a projectile for a single hit, then return - projectile beetles enjoy invulnerability, but cooldowns make this a slower tactic against larger targets - alongside Elytra flight (they like the view) - deploys tamed beetles - speeds up Larva growth (slower than Incubator, but faster than unaided) ### NEW: Larva Jar - Beetle Jar full of Substrate - stores a Larva while it grows - rewards Beetle Husks upon Larva maturity ### NEW: Substrate - wood mix for bug keeping --- ## quality of life - added tooltips to some confusing items - wild beetles have normally-distributed stats --- ## disclaimer i've been working on this update since mammoths walked the Earth, so i may have missed some minor updates. hit my line in the Discord or elsewhere if you have any qwuestions!

NEW ASH TREES! - new tree and wood type: the ASH TREE - i like to refer to its color as a "buttery birch" - cool beetle designs on the blocks NEW MACHINES! - the EMIGRATOR removes a beetle from a tank and puts it into a jar - the IMMIGRATOR takes a beetle from a jar and puts it in a tank - dispensers can now eject beetles from jars - these can be chained together - these are mostly setup work for the next few updates MISCELLANEOUS! - boilers have a proper hitbox now (you can get inside them)
