August 4th – Liquidity

Howdy! My main project for the past couple of days has been prototyping a tool for sucking up liquids into the player’s inventory. Aside from the obvious utility of being able to move them around, we plan to make them used as fuels and in crafting recipes, so finding biomes with certain kinds of liquids (such as oil) will become important. Here’s how it looks so far:

Since this is the first real scripted item we’ve built, it’s involved a lot of testing and adding functionality to the Lua item API, so that’s been a nice side benefit. I’m definitely looking forward to making some more interesting scripted items and tools in the future, as well as seeing what modders make with it!
