Patch Notes - Link & Go

The patch released today brings our initial translations for French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. This first release is intended primarily as a test of our internal translation pipeline. We are fully aware that these translations are very preliminary, and we are committed to significantly refining them over the coming months until they meet an acceptable quality standard.

We plan to address translation issues through two primary methods: by acting on feedback submitted directly to BitCraft Support and by implementing a crowdsourcing effort in the coming weeks.

Once the French, German, Spanish, and Japanese translations are complete, our focus will shift to introducing translations for additional languages.

To discuss translations, please visit the BitCraft Discord and navigate to the "Experimental System Discussions" category. You can submit feedback on translations via BitCraft Support.

Added

  • Chat character support for most popular languages.
  • Localisation support for German, Spanish, French and Japanese (experimental).
  • Two step dance emote that can be obtained from ancient ruins in the world.
  • Creating hyperlinks that can be posted in the chat for many entities e.g. Items, Cargo, Buildings and Coordinates.

Fixed

  • Paving over an existing paving not refunding their materials.
  • Targeting not working until toggling the map in the WASD control scheme.
  • House moving costs are not being updated in some cases.
  • Being able to unclaim a tile under a construction site.
  • Being able to craft at a building without the required claim research.
  • Expanded Teleportation Energy Cell not granting the max teleportation energy stat.

Chat HyperLink Guide.Hyperlinks support: "[text](url)", where "[text]" is optional.

  • The supported hyperlinks are:
    • Items: (item=id),
    • Cargo: (cargo=id),
    • Resource: (res=id),
    • Building: (build=id),
    • Collectible: (col=id),
    • Enemy: (mob=id),
    • Knowledge: (know=id),
    • Claim: (claim=id),
    • Coordinates: (coord=n,e),

  • If a hyperlink is missing "[text]", it will show the entity (item, cargo...) name.
  • For example:
    • I'm looking to buy (item=4000) -> I'm looking to buy [item name],
    • I'm looking to buy [this](item=4000) -> I'm looking to buy this,

  • When sharing a coordinate, we show entities that are in the shared large hex (precedence: claim totem > high tier building > low tier building > high tier resource > low tier resource).

For example:

  • I'm at (coord=32,28) -> I'm at [Leather Working Station] [32,28],
  • We added a quick way to open the compendium from tooltips.
  • We added a quick way to copy hyperlink from tooltips.
  • We added a button to copy hyperlinks in Compendium.
  • We added a button to copy coordinates hyperlink in Map Tooltips.
  • We added an option to copy coordinates hyperlink in the world context menu.
  • We added a button to show in map from interior windows and claims.
  • We added a button to copy coordinates from the claim windows.
  • We added a button to copy coordinates hyperlink from Nodes page in the Empire window.
  • When interacting with entity hyperlinks we open the compendium or claim window.
  • When interacting with coordinates hyperlinks we show the coordinate in the map.
  • Every hyperlink has a context menu with "Inspect", "Track" (only for coordinates) and "Copy Hyperlink" options.

When chat is in focused mode, you can interact with entity hyperlinks to open the compendium, map, or claim window.
Every hyperlink has a context menu with "Inspect", "Track" (only for coordinates) and "Copy Hyperlink" options.
When hovering hyperlinks while chat is focused, you can see the tooltips.
