I have just uploaded 1.23.1 binaries to Google Play.
Here’s the changelist:
- Fixed magnets, thermometers, hygrometers cannot be broken in survival modes
- Fixed drop values of gravestones
- Fixed truth table inputs being named incorrectly
- Fixed corner stairs sometimes leaving gap in the world
- Changed creative inventory behavior – you can pick up ordinary items as in 1.22, only editable items behave differently
- Pressure plate analog output changed to be more useful (indicating weight more precisely)
Thank you for all the bug reports – keep going!
To remind you, we are still in the beta testing stage on Google Play. Once this is complete I will publish for all the remaining platforms. Please be patient.
1.23.1 should be available to download in a couple of hours. In the meantime, have a look at the pressure plates video:
I also fixed the server, which had some difficulties displaying items in “recently added” order. This should be working now.

First!
Can’t wait for the new update to be released on Amazon!
Me too
Yay! I can’t wait to play with the update! Thx so much Kaalus!
3rd
oh my gosh i can’t wait for the amazon release this update is so awesome and i finally figured out the sound generator for the demo, so when the full version is available to me, i must say ” Please don’t stop the music”
Got the update :)
Thank you Kaalus! You are doing great things. Pressure plate looks interesting. Only, too bad avatar and grey wolf weigh the same…darn! Such is life! :-)
There is only 8 different values the plate can return – you can’t distinguish them all
kaalus sorry late I think I spotted a bug I saw your youtube “happybirthday” and I tried to make what u made and its like it doesn’t work in mine while yours works
I don’t know if I just dont know how u make it
Fair enough. Many hugs and a big Thank You for all your hard work!
I forgot I used LG-E400
That was quick :)
Dave…just wanted to drop a note saying that I enjoy your videos. BTW … who is Mavis? I figure it is a cultural reference that, judging by your accent, I am not privy to.
It was from a comedy show, little Britain. Where the shopkeeper shouted to his wife in back room, you have to watch it to see what I mean.
Will do Dave. I am kind of fan of British TV, I will add this to the list! Thank you!
what about the 500 error message in the community content
That’s the server error – should be fixed as well
When does it come out for IPad?
when it does, it still need time to fix bug before he submits it to the other devices. don’t be so impatient.

Awesome KAALUS. I have a question. Will 3X work on iPod 5? Cause that’s the only thing that I’m really looking forward to about this update. (With the exception of the Real Time Clock). So, I’m kinda wondering what’s gonna be in next update. If it’s something that you and I, KAALUS, can do together, I wanna be in it.

First of all, thank you for tweaking pressure plates, now they are more usefull :)
Second – after some time i fully understand the memory bank now! along with the counters and thruth tables is the best thing i ever used in SC :D
Now i can create some really outstanding (and small) mechanisms :)
Anyway, i read descriptions(on your blog and recipedia) about memory bank and i think that back input doesnt work when i want write value to memory.
I have connected 4bit counter to input on the back of memory bank. Then i send 0.7V “pulse” to the clock on the bottom and nothing happens :(
Can u look at this and tell me it is bug or not?
I guess I doing something wrong, or not understand the description properly. (english is not my native speak)
“The value supplied on this input will be written at the address given by address lines on the rising edge of the clock input, which must be 0.7V or less”
later ill upload screenshots of my machine so u can look at this :)
cheers
sorry 4 my english.
Indeed, there is a bug with writing to memory bank, well spotted! I already fixed it for 1.23.2. In the meantime, you need to manually write something beyond the memory address you intend to write using clock input. E.g. if you want to write at address 0, edit the memory bank and put a non-zero value anywhere in addresses 1 to 255 (beyond 0). Once you do it, the clock-based write should start working.
Awesome job!
Can’t wait!

Such as multiplayer. (Hint hint, wink wink)

Wait a second.
I know this is not the right place for this comment. So please forgive.
My daughter Rowan (10 yrs) and I love your game. We play it every night together building our own separate worlds and showing each other. The breadth of features, environment, combined with downloadable content make it the best sandbox game for iPad hands down.
I’m in the same industry (roughly) as you. I know the hard trade offs between doing a huge new feature (such as multiplayer) and getting the basics right. You’d need to allow your product to stand still for a bit while you work on that big feature. As an average end-user, to me, your product is beautiful and works well. If there are glaring bugs or omissions on the basics, they are not apparent to me. Also, you are way out front of Minecraft on iOS, so even if you slowed down your release pace a bit to work on multiplayer, you’d no doubt still remain superior once you emerge with multiplayer.
As I said, my daughter and I love your product. But it would be so much more fun if we could build together the beautiful worlds you allow us to create.
– David and Rowan
That was touching. But you are right. If he maybe took a few months and took his time, multiplayer in this game would be UNBEATABLE!
Kaalus you need acars,trolley,men,girls and boys.Please do not late!!!! Bulgaria
Cars? Seriously! It’s called SURVIVAL craft for a reason. It’s a survival game. Not a game where u drive cars around. Mine carts or caravan wagons would be more likely to be added. Please,anyone who has an idea that survival craft should contain cars,planes,etc like that,please stop asking kaalus for it because it will probably not happen. Think as if u only have the things in your creative mode inventory. Come up with ideas u can make with things like those. Or something like a type of flower or animal or bush/tree,(think about natural things)
You should be able to use gliders
Kaalus you need to reincrease the hit range i cant kill anything the mobs run to quick to get close to them
I can, just not cry much and challenge the nature -.-(
Are you not going to help me Kaalus?
You mean the community content staying the same? It’s because there were no user ratings before 1.23 was released. Check it now, a lot has changed. The ratings decide who goes on top and who sinks.
Hey kaalus I am the author of a map(ninja story) and I wanted to make another map, so I spent days building a parkour map and I uploaded it. Later I checked and it won’t give me a download count, later I checked and it wasn’t even published. Please help
P.S. I am on 1.22
I know you are busy but I spent alot of time building that map, and now no one can get it. Please answer
I tried again and it didn’t work. Anyone else get this problem?
Hi! Check out my blog click my name!
Kaalus have you thought about doing a beta while you develop the game? That way you could have beta testers and make the release process more expedient. Just a thought.
found a bug kaalus….when I go to copy a link and post a world it gives me a message stating “string was not recognized as a valid date time” please fix this.
I would be much obliged if you tried my adventure map “Crerios” kaalus. I have made the definition of adventure map more definite.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ezr6lzgjnezc5gw/Crerios.scworld?dl=1
Nice. Why don’t you make the walls unbreakable by using something that cannot be broken with a pickaxe, e.g. wood? You wouldn’t need “only the glass can be broken”.
I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for your input!
ok im pretty sure that i found 2 bugs (1.23.1)
First is about new displays(4led and 7segment).
Under certain angles, numbers and leds look like they floated in the air, instead of being attached to the block.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/30/x65s.jpg/
second bug is bit wierd, It causes the disappearance of displays and other things, but the text is still visible:
http://imageshack.us/f/593/o8g3.jpg/
I’ve done a few tests:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/27/yh0v.jpg/
and i think its because the whole line of displays is placed on a chunk boundary (im not sure)
i dont care about this, its more like glitch than serious bug, its not annoying but i think u should know about this.
sorry 4 my english :)
Both effects are due to limited accuracy of z-buffer on some mobile devices. I am using 16-bit z-buffer for compatibility. Not a bug. Thanks anyway!
after more test im 1000000000000% sure that second effect happens only on chunk boundary. So I’ll just try avoids the boundaries in future :)
Thanks for answer and im waiting for 1.23.2! :)
Kaalus, I came across something very wacky.
https://db.tt/QqW6Yj8e
Here’s another picture of it. This is in tge world Blake Wolford made. Link to it is somewhere above. Only came across this once, then went away.
https://db.tt/8RnO6G6W
that’s the skewed texture thing I was trying to explain earlier….kaalus said something about it being caused by problems with the bit boundary or something like that…..he suggested to fix this you need to move the build sideways to move the bits to another boundary.
The way I handled that glitch was to greif it by destroying the whole structure and then restart.

Kaalus, I firs want to say thank you for all your hard work on Survivalcraft! :P I also have two questions.
First, the video on pressure plates was really helpful. Could you also make a video tuttorial explaining music, memory, sound generator, basically everything you need to make music? I think many people would find it really helpful.
Also, if I ever have an idea or suggestion, which is the best way to contact you?
Guys check out my blog, currently I’m starting an epic adventure and need your help, just click on my name I’d be mighty obliged!
I can no longer seem to find any Orcas. Are they still there? Is anybody else having the same issue?
They are far on the sea, close from island and are not hard to find, they also are not in spawn eggs bnoth that is normal!
Haha! “Go on a diet, mate!” Are you british? I have no idea. Me and my friend are American, but we always talk in British accents! :-) We love British accents! :-)
Maybe Australian?
Kaalus did you fix the bug every time you were under a branch riding a horse and went under it you’d die
That is not a bug
How isn’t a bug and if it’s not what logic is it that my head hits some leaves and I die.
kaalus i just figured out the sound generator and how to use it and i must say, wow so simple but i takes forever to figure out, also i just figured out the truth table and i must say it’s great for a simple 4 pin lock. all the while i do this on the demo version hahahaha
Kaalus, back on the gravestones. I’d really like to have villagers. I mean, someone had to bury those people! Plus, I is lonely… :( P.S. GIRL SKINS… VARIETY… FE-MALE SKIIIIIINNSSS!!!!! Ima sick of being boy :”(
1.24= Skins and Multiplayer. All I want is skins and multiplayer! I think Survivalcraft has enough features to keep it fun while multiplayer and skins are being developed. Survivalcraft has a strong community and would make a great multiplayer environment. What else does Survivalcraft desperately need right now? People have asked for it since its launch. That was years ago! We want multiplayer! The new features are good and all but I think I speak for the community when I say we really want multiplayer.
Kaalus what did you name your game character? I’m developing an official website just for you and survivalcraft. :) it could be any name btw. Or I could have suggestions from the audience? Anyone?
*and developing a story for it.
Please check out my blog. Click on my name. I will be publishing a link for a Survivalcraft world tomorrow that is only available to those who go to my site…and maybe even a preview of another awesome world if you follow my blog via email:-)
Here are some skins guys… Lemme know what you guys think
http://s1330.photobucket.com/user/Mymortalkombat/library/?view=recent&page=1
Kaalus, I have problems uploading my skin for my hero can you please look into this… I mite be the only one trying this and this feature might not be allowing me to upload it correctly. It seems to be uploading to the world rather than my character. The character skin color is affecting the world, not the character.
Options for uploading textures are for blocks or world, maybe you can creat a character texture option?
Hi kaalus I have an old bug actually. I forgot to post about it. Anyway. Sometimes in creative mode this will happen randomly. I was working on a house one time and suddenly I could “see through the wall”I guess u could say. But it was like different from ordinary things. The flowers and window and stuff were all dark gray forms. I could even see underground! I had to get off and get back on before it went away. I’m getting tired of it! If it happens again I will post a pic. Then u can know what I’m seeing. Please fix. I have a android kindle fire
I had the same problem. Sent him an email with pictures. I dunno of he read them though.
It’s annoying right?
When will it be ready for iPad? Plus I think u should make it so that animals can breed
I found a glitch where I can see a sliver of the terrain beneath the surface when I open the door to my mine. I found it while being chased out of my mine by a bear, good thing I put 2 doors between my mine and my fort.

that happens to me to kaalus please fix
and when i died on harmless i re spawned in the cave bellow were i died
