Yesterday night I pushed out 1.21.2. Slept until noon today :-)
Here’s the list of changes:
- Fixed electric lamps falling off blocks when switched on or off at a distance
- Fixed electric lamps switching off for no reason when moving around them
- Fixed very long electric lines stopping working when moving around them
- Fixed seizing up of complex electric circuits when going away and coming back
- Fixed when standing still on top of a moving creature, player’s legs move
- Added help on how to mount the horse
- Fixed horse/player death on dismount – the fix should greatly reduce probability of this happening. Do not mount/dismount in confined spaces to reduce it still further
If there are no new serious issues with this release I intend to push it out to Kindle and Windows Phone. Please play it.
I am especially interested in you testing the electric circuits – I was forced to make some fairly fundamental changes there, and it’s never safe so late in the release. I might have inadvertently broken something. I would be very grateful if you could build some electric devices and see if there are no stupid things happening.

1st!! haaahhaaa, Sounds good Kaalus
Whew, I know how you feel, I’ve been up 5days Straight,well Time to get some rest. xD
I don’t know because I can’t find it on my amazon kindle
I agree it has not come out on my kindle yet
kaalus i have a glitch if you kill a horse then put a saddle on the dead body it comes back alive
Is iOS released?
No not yet
No
HOORAY!
Can you tell me when its comin out on the amazon appstore i really want to play this update
Bug report: Kaalus, please replye. I think random generator not work correctly! because if I sign wire to clock input, clock generator give “1″ in out. If I sign switch and turn it on or off random generator give “1″ in both case. I think if I sign wire to clock input, random generator must give “0″ signal out, but it give “1″. Is this wrong?
Yeah
Kaalus, I can’t play. I have sgs3 and big fingers. I use “spilt touch” controls, but it is not good. ALL SCREEN MUST WORK LIKE VIEW PAD! I have killed my horse by mistake. Please, fix it because people like me can’t play :(
Why are you add “split touch” and viewfinder, so we can’t use it? And photodiode still don’t work.
yes photodiode has never worked for me either it just doesnt turn on the lights i connected lol
u need connect NOT gate to photodiode then lamp and its work
photodiode—>NOT GATE—>lightbulb
No I’ve it doesn’t work I tried that already
it work, u are doing something wrong

lights on in day with NOT gate connected and not at night
Its a bug, I have built it same as in pic but it stays on at day and off at night which is wrong
It flashes…
The photodiode mustn’t be affected by the light of the bulb or it starts to flash… For me it works
All right
move lightbulb away from photodiode
+ 1 larger area on left for movement
I can’t test it ’till it comes out for Apple, but you won’t submit a bug fix version to Apple, right?
I like the changes of v 1.21.2
What device do you have!!!
Why?
Kalaas I have a kindle and i cant update yet…and 1.20 is blacking out all the words plez hurt with 1.21!!!
Hurry not hurt
Game gets more complicated…
Klaaus where is real survival, hunger, gain food, farming, cooking, some enemies who can blow up your house ? :D
I agree with you but enemys that blow up your house a bit too much
Hi Kaalus,
Game looks great! The fact that there are vis in the water and camels/horses to ride on is awesome.
But I keep having problens with appering and disapperung animals. When I’m explorung a cave and there’s a bear….I kill it. I block the cave so no animals can get in and the rest of the cave is empty. When I mine the cave and a few (in the game) days later I come up …the bear is back! How’s that possible? Even so….I made a fence for my cows. 3 blocks high….I’ve locked 5 cows in there. The next morning. There are only 3 cows left and a bull has joint!?!?! Turns out that when a animal is standing next to a block (fence, stonewall…) and it turns into that block….it can get out. Is this a bug!
As I understand, bears in caves spawn if the light level is low enough. They aren’t come from the outside, they just spawn randomly, depending on light level.
I don’t have the update, but in mine i put two cows in a two block high fence an one kept escaping, it was because the cows were jumping up on each other.
Hello Kaaulus,
Have you uploaded the latest version to the kindle?
I have alpha 1.20.0
I f not,can you upload it today?
Super upset!!!!!!
Hey kaalus i tested this on my map (which u have) and the “magic” spot is still here.
but now when you go over this spot , the lamps will flash/blink(?) only once, instead of going off
i can eliminate this “flash/blink” by connecting lamps independent to each other.
Overall im very happy, and this “blink” is small issue with i can live, and fix it by myself at some point :)
i tested also my 100led animated display, and i im very happy because random diodes dont go off anymore! works perfect now! thank u.
also tested couple more circuits and everything seems to work like it should, so i think u didnt broke anything :)
“Fixed electric lamps falling off blocks when switched on or off at a distance”
during tests “lamps falling off blocks” did not happend here yet so let say its fixed :D
great update kaalus thank u
i can record this blinking lights if u want
sorry for my english
p.s. what about this shadow bug? im just curious, hope u leave it for later :)
also it look like game lags bit more but im not sure about this.
The blink is OK, it’s caused by the circuit rebuilding itself as its end get chopped off at the far end of view. To avoid it don’t make circuits which are longer than the view distance.
Kaalus why isn’t 1.21 out for my kindle fire HD yet. Please respond back.
I want it to come out I am extremely excited I just wanna play I have 3 worlds with horse stables lets hurry up please
I can’t wait till it comes out on the kindle fire! :D Also did anyone do a YouTube vid of the new update if they have it?
Yes gave they did leave one on youtube and it is in little videos that are two min and 30 seconds to five mins 30 seconds
I want it for kindle fire too…… I want to ride my horse! I built a stable an everything =(
same here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! two stables in survival
Btw kaalus you made an extraordinary game! In most of our opinions it’s better than minecraft ;)
Hey I just wanted to suggest when you submit survivalcraft to iOS again to have a launch sale to get a good base of players on that platform from the beginning so word of mouth can be more effective. Also I think you should rethink how the demo is designed, I see from the reviews that the time limit pisses off a lot of people. I think instead you should have an infinite demo with limited features. Like make only creative or challenging mode available and take away dropbox, sd card and community content integration. It just feels like it would give you higher ratings on your demo and get you more purchases. Just throwing ideas out there.
That’s what I was thinking, some sort of launch sale for a week or so, to get peoples attention. The demo doesn’t have a time limit on Google Play, so it should be good as is.
But every second review for the google play demo is bitching about a time limit.
Wait, there is a time limit? Nevermind, I guess there needs to be one on iOS. The sale is still a good idea though. :)
noone liked the time limit on the kindle either, but think of it in the sales perspective, if you only get 15 minutes per world you make, but get all the features except sleeping, the point of the demo is to just give you enough to know if it’s good, but not enough to just play on it’s own, that way you’ll want to buy the full game.
i say leave it the way that it is
hmmm.
it is already cheaper than MCPE and much better in every dimension. (in my opinion)
so price should be no problem for anyone.
besides, the price is good
Kaalus what do you think how many more days to wait before survivalcraft will come to IOS??
THANKS KAALUS!!!! I love your game, and I just want to say thank you for your hard work!!!
when you are finally finished kaalus,take a week off,you need it.
my phone crashed when i played survivalcraft could this be fixed i have a Samsung galaxy s 19000.
hope you fix.
The game lags when you have more than 10 Leds
Please fix this
i have over 100 and no lag at all

What device?
htc one x
Its only been since 1.21.2
i tested this on 1.21.2 and no lag.
what device do u have?
No problems with mine
How do you update
The game
IOS OK ?
I think its great that you fixed the update. That being said, i do have one concern.
Are we, the users of the Amazon store and Windows Phone marketplace, still your alpha testers?
I only ask because I believe that we have lost the privilege of having an effect in your bug fixes. We wait while the Android users scan your game for bugs so that we can be void of any problems. I understand your want for a clean update but we no longer have as much of an effect on the formation on your game as we once did. When i bought your game, i didnt care that it was my chance to try out an infinite blocky world due to my missing out on Minecraft, i wanted to be part of the creation of something. I saw that this was in alpha, you have stated so many times that this in alpha and you have been so kind as to allow us to play your game before it enters beta but that was on the premise that we would be helping you quash bugs. If you would just release the update for everyone at once, we can get back into the groove of helping test out bugs.
I would go so far as to suggest that the Android version only be released after the Amazon and Windows Phone version, or just one, has arrived. I know, however, that such an action would cause backlash from the Android users.
So what do you say, won’t you at least release the update for everyone at once and let us once again help test your creation.
I will also forward this message to Kaalus’ email to get the word out. If you are a user of the Amazon store or Windows Phone marketplace and agree, please speak up. Your voice is so powerful if you just use it.
I can’t release for everyone at once because Amazon and Microsoft need to pass a week-long certification process before they even appear in the marketplaces.
I understand that, but I was requesting that you submit them all at once.
Android gets used for testing.If you get Android you could bug test every update
Looks like i dont need to send out that email though.
Think positive,if we get it later,we might find other,newer bugs other people haven’t spotted yet,so think positive,not negative!
Seems to me that each update is getting more complex, as kaalus’s skills with coding are getting better and better, but each update has more and more bugs…
If every update was pushed for windows phone and amazon first, it would possibly ruin survivalcraft for a few weeks, until all major and minor bugs are fixed, instead of keeping the stable older version for a bit longer..
Although we may not mind getting buggy updates, reporting bugs/ testing, most players (especially newer players) won’t want this (and it could have a negative effect on ratings)
And yes, I was around when 1.13 was around, just for windows phone 7.5
Do you know y it won’t let me update sc for kindle
I cannot tell you if this update is good, because I don’t have it yet.
:'(
What about the freezes?
Its a little bit annoying if the game breaks down all the time.
Kaalus I tested our the bucket big and if U have an empty bucket and use it on a lava/water SOURCE block it will not take the water/lava lets say, I have a windows 7.5, Nokia lumia 800 if that’s any help :).
The bucket does not take water/lava in creative. Test in challenging.
I don’t even have it yet…
Fix it!
😭
from the google play store i cant updat help kaalus hhhhheeeeelllllp
So windowsphone version is coming out today?
Please upload it to the kindle Fire after you do that take some time off
Kaalus, I think u should put a search bar so like if u have a friend who plays survivalcraft,u can easily find their world or texture pack in community content.
Who agrees,say………yeah!!!
Yeah!!!
How long till I can play this update on my kindle fire? I am so anxious!!!!
I have a kindle fire and It won’t update to 1.21 at all. It’s still on 1.20. Anything I can do to fix this?
It is not out to Amazon yet. Hang tight. Kaalus might be sending it today. So maybe we will have it in a week.
The freezing bug is still there, fence bug fixed
Kaalus, SR latches (both sync and asynch) are cleared (reset) if you leave visual range. If this is working as designed, never mind. It does make them practically useless, though (outside a confined area).
nice find Sancroff, I tested this on my map
http://survivalcraft.lefora.com/2013/02/13/digital-password-door-lock/#post16
and its like u said, its clear everything, and I am 100% sure that this doesnt happen before :)
I’ll have look at that. They should remember the state.
Very well spotted! This was a bug introduced when I was fixing electricity bugs reported by scrafter :-) Fixed, will be out in 1.21.3.
Kaalus, can you fix animal disappearing bug?
So when is it coming out 4 kindle??????
In about a week… Btw kaalus how come you added a giraffe? I don’t exactly see a use for it but it is pretty (I watched a video) It doesn’t really fit in the survivalcraft environment. Maybe you should add a few more animals like lions or hyenas (any thing from Africa) to make a giraffe fit survivalcraft.
I meant in between fit survivalcraft
Can u post the link?????? Please??????? Pretty please with a cherry on top???????
I feel so left out I don’t have the update because it’s not on the Amazon appstore yet
