Good day!

Really cool update for you today in version 0.8.21.0 on the beta branch. I know I'm uploading another beta build but the last build had some nasty issues. I wanted to submit this as a beta again so I could get some help testing it out before pushing to production. This time around I'm only going to focus on making sure this build is stable so I can move it on over to production in the next day or so.

NOW, what's in this build? I've essentially done a huge pass on the art of the terrain. You'll notice that there's an added tilt perspective to blocks. This is to make the world fit in with the rest of the game art.





Also, there are several new blocks for you to build as well as three new brick types to build with.

OH, and if you ever had trouble understanding what is on the layer your camera is on, I've added a button and hotkey to only render the stuff on the same layer. You can hold ALT or press the little toggle button on the bottom of the screen.

There's a lot I've added so I'll just get on with listing the notes:
-Performance improvements - namely this was to do with some pathfinding stuff.
-Fixed a bug where laborers weren't gaining xp for carrying items.
-Fixed a bug where hunger and thirst could get stuck at 0. Often this would look like the settler wasn't drinking water.
-Fixed a bug where certain hostile NPCs wouldn't move towards players to attack them.
-Added a type icon to blueprints (i.e., flloors, furniture, containers, etc).
-Increased the build/plant blueprint sizes.
-Organized blueprints into order based on type > material > name.
-Added slight perspective shift to all terrain art.
-Fixed incorrect icons for wool cloth.
-Added sandstone, clay, and stone brick items.
-Added Linen Carpet surface.
-Added Wool Carpet surface.
-Added Stone Ornate block.
-Added Stone Carved block.
-Added Stone Brick block.
-Added Stone Cobble Block.
-Added Clay Brick block
-Added Sandstone Brick block.
-Added Sandstone Cobble block.
-Added/updated Sandstone Tile surface texture.
-Added/update Sandstone Shingle surface texture.
-Updated Glass surface texture.
-Added zone type to item entry in inventory panel.
-Removed liquids zone.
-Added 'Vertical Access' category to blueprints and ladders and stairs will now be in that category rather than Furniture.
-Container permissions will no longer show zones which aren't implemented yet.
-Added a toggle for showing only the current layer the camera is on.
-Moved camera zoom to left control to not conflict with left alt and toggling same layer visibility.
-Added 10 random game tips to the loading screen.
-The loading screen will now show the correct hotkey for the tip shown.
-Fixed a bug with entities not sleeping.
-Fish should now be easier to see when on the same layer as them.
-Animals will now look for food outside their pen if none is available inside.
-Fixed another issue with entities not attacking a target when coming into attack range.
-Fixed a bug where some fx for blocks played under the texture and would be hidden.
-Mages can now use the Barracks to train.
-Fixed a bug where flying creatures weren't able to path to their mate to have them babies. >,>

Thanks to those that helped me find bugs and in the 0.8.20.1 beta. I appreciate your ability to put up with my mistakes. xD Also, shout out to Xan for helping me come up with new blocks and items.

Have a fantastic weekend.
