Here’s some more stuff you will get in 1.29. Look at the screenshot below.
There are two new features there. One very obvious and one less obvious. Don’t count the new cobblestone texture, this was mentioned before.
Any guesses?
Btw. I added this a good week ago, long before I saw the screenshots you posted in comments to the last post. Nice coincidence!

Logs can be placed sideways (yaay!)
Now abandoned cabins are generated (yayyayyaaay!)
No cabins, it’s just copper tools and logs
Rotatable logs and copper tools!
why copper tools? He says it says in the game it is to soft to make tools out of.
Because malachite and iron ore changed spawning layer. So, we need tools between iron and stone materials.
no we don’t. we still have iron.
I don’t want to dig at basalt with stone pickaxe
Maybe it’s brons!
YEA HE GOT IT RIGHT! KUDOS TO Sergey Starostin (@Sighmoon007)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
Survivalcraft on STEAM please, kaalus plsssss
That one patch of grass that is now on that one block of dirt that doesn’t ever receive any grass! I’ve always wanted that feature :’-)
LOL 😊
Are you talking about dirt that doesn’t grow into a grass block (aka course dirt) or grass block that doesn’t grow the tall grass?
Are you talking about dirt that doesn’t grow into a grass block, if so, that is called course dirt.
Oops sorry didn’t mean to duplicate the text.
Sideways stairs and connecting stairs with the ability to change colours. Yup I think you have ticked everything off my most asked for list in one update 1.29 looks amazing thanks for this.
Pops ment sideways logs
Oops corrective type ahhhhhh
ROTATABLE LOGS!!
Copper tools? That’s interesting
Will copper everything be added, as in arrows, machetes etc?
Is that a cooper tool in front of you(•~°)(°0°)???
Or it is just painted?
Ok now, it’s DEFINETLY painted tools!!
Nope, bigger trees!
MTB, how can you be so blind?
Copper tools. Better than stone, not as good as iron.
Iron now is in the basalt level, and no one wants to dig at basalt to find iron without a good pick
While I am really happy about this…
My world will have to have around 112 jungle trees with their branches rebuilt using sideways logs… Fun.
XD I am happy nonetheless, I can change my texture now too!’
Horizontally oriented wood blocks!! Just like I asked for! Sniff 😂 thank you Kaalus!
I had a feeling when I started a mega structure last night 😃.
BTW my MC kids loved the cute notes, esp the opening number. Mgblitz81 rocks!
Ikr.
Nice
And Rotatable logs
Hello Kaalus! I just logged on so I’m knew on the comments section but I have been playing Survival Craft for years.
(It would be embarrassing to say how much time I’ve spent on it)
Now, Kaalus, is that a BRONZE axe????
Hi Kaalus! I’m knew here on the comments section but i have been playing Survival Craft for years.
(It would be embarrassing to say how much time I’ve spent playing it.)
Now, Kaalus, is that a BRONZE axe?????
Is that a BRONZE axe?
Is that a BRONZE axe????
1) A New Generated Structure? (the Cabin)
2) Rotabile Logs, 100% sure
3) Copper Tools?
THERE IS A TWO BLOCK WIDE TREE TRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!
Looks like it, but I don’t think so.
No. That is at the edge of the picture and is stretched because of it. It has the texture of one wood block.
Nope. Its just the FOV(field of view) the picture was taken in so it looks bigGER.
My mistake… But it is something to do with trees?
So excited to see all this Survival Craft talk and new content!!!! Ty Kaalus.
Would love some new creative mode content or settings. Other than that multi…
Sweet! New to WordPress, but been playing Survivalcraft since the character was still blocky. Great job kaalus love your work on this great game!
But I thought copper was too soft for making tools…?
the logs can be put aside . brilliant
Rotating logs? Yes! The 2nd is even bigger trees!
Nope. Has to do with the tool on ground. That’s just the FOV that the picture was taken in which make the trees look bigger.
Everyone! The 2nd is even bigger trees! Look at the picture closely!
Nah I don’t think there is, it’s a matter of perspective but I don’t see anything personally :P
MTB can see anything in a picture, but he is rarely right
Bro let it go :P someone else saw it first anyway, not MTB. And it’s an easy mistake to make I guess.
You guys should make up and hug.
I agree it’s not a two block wide tree but making fun of him is definitely not the way to go.
Didnt make fun of him.
No, if you look very closely, at the tree on the right that looks double. The dark colour which looks like wood is the dark part of the leaves. Joom in and you can clearly see the border with brown.
*Zoom
No no bigger trees its just a hole guys zoom in and look
Outside corner stairs…woot.
copper ax is
it is wood. I think.
Outside corner stairs… Woot!
Logs can be rotated and painted tools, or maybe copper tools, or maybe cabins as a generated structure.
Hola lo que veo es que los bloques de madera ya se pueden colocar como vigas…
Is it a Copper or Bronze axe?
To everybody saying it’s copper tools… NO! That wouldn’t even make sense. Copper is way to malleable to be an ax or shovel. Especially a machete.
I gotta go with MTB here, I think it’s better trees.
I don’t know what to say about the axe… It is brown, but still looks different than a Wooden Axe… Maaaybe is a Copper axe, maybe is a painted axe… Or something else…
Or Maybe that axe is made of a new kind of Ore?
I’m not sure kaalus knows that….but I like it.
yep.
more wood plank types maybe?
Omg Kaalus! Yay! A feature I’ve been asking for!
I this a new generated structure that you can find?
Copper tools and sideways logs!
I believe the 2nd feature is not copper, but bronze tools.
Which would mean zinc…or was it tin? Can’t remember. Bronze is a mix of copper and zinc…or tin.
Tin
Thanks.
Bronze tools would make sense, you would need copper and tin to craft them. Also bronze is tougher than copper I believe.
Main problem, the color is the same texture of copper
Amazing sideways log textures, anyway. Even though they are simply flipped oak logs.
Bronze
Could it be iron is replaced with tin to make bronze tools? Copper and tin is what you would have to melt down to make it.
Is that axe painted?
Nevermind then.
Everyone is correct that the axe looks wrong. I did a comparison, and it looks the same color as copper. Does that mean that it is a copper axe? Maybe. Perhaps it is painted, or made out of a different kind of wood? (Or it is just a trick of the lighting.)
ability to paint wood tools, maybe?
Copper or bronze tools….nice, but I thought you said copper was too soft! Hopefully it’s bronze tools though. And I hope we can find iron in both basalt and granite maybe…
Its copper tools. Look at the FAQ
Sometimes we make comments and think that Kaalus does not read it. Well now we know better. Yes it is a real coinsidence that I posted that cabin picture. This is such great news. This is to me even greater than anything else you have done, sine I really love log cabins.
Thanks Kaalus. Now my only wish is the M word I should not mention again.
i guess i got what a secret feature with 32 bits blocks. Is it more languages for signs?
Kaalus, you have mentioned that there is one big change to come, but I do not think that you have told us yet what it is. I we were wrong, please give us a clue.
Remember dowsing and fairies?
Kaalus, do you have time to check your email?
The trees are not different. It is probably copper tools. To me it does not make real sense, but so it is with golden tools and weapons in MC. It is senseless, yet people like the variety. And well, the bronze age was before iron, wasn’t it? The only thing is that copper is fairly rare.
This bring me to something very few people have thought of as the big change. Maybe it is that elements will be more plentyful. If Kaalus brings in mine carts or someting like it, a lot more iron will be needed, so that might be the reason that he is including minerals in different type of rocks. This does make sense.
Just a thought…
rotating logs and copper tools! or maybe paintable tools. And maybe doors? That door behind looks new
Check out this picture I just made for you kaalus!!!
Beautiful picture man.. And I think it’s the bronze tool since it does make logical sense in survivalcraft
Here’s another version kaalus!
Love the first one mate. Nicely well done
OMG IM SOOO EXCITED TO HAVE RANDOMLY GENERATED CABINS IN SC!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄
I don’t think so….
Hah. Got it, without looking at other posts, it’s sideways logs. Long time before that was added. The sideways logs are on the cabin.
Has to be copper. Copper is way worse for a tool than iron is therefore making it show up in a higher layer makes sense. Bronze is a compound metal which means it is not ound in nature; and is mandmade. Also, he already has copper so it’s easy coding. It could give a good use for copper also, I’d make copper arrows if he adds them.
Love the new features. Hoping for some more variety in plant life to go with the great variety of animals and other things :)
So side way logs and copper/bronze tools. Interesting. If only that cabin was randomly generated :-). That would be cool
How old is kaalus ?
Frankly that doesn’t really matter.
Add reptiles in this update
Since blocks are 32 bits does this mean we will get translucent ice or not? I particularly don’t care but others might
I thought it was a different texture for the purple flower.
Me too!
Sería bueno que se generarar, algunas tribus o cavernícolas así como algunos animales, también más cultivos para hacer más comida,talvez enfermedad por el frío,y que con algunas plantas hacer remedios…
So it is copper tools! In the FAQ it says in 1.29 copper tools were added…
Nicely done defective work…..
And here is the evidence. Can’t say something and not show you’re resource.
This is from the FAQ ITSELF:
Q: Why can’t I make copper tools?
Copper is too soft a metal for making tools. The purpose of copper is different: it will eventually be used to craft wires and logical circuits (as of 1.19 this is already in). There are plans to add additional materials from which you’ll be able to craft tools and weapons, but it has not been decided what it will be yet.
As of 1.29, disregard the above. Copper tools and weapons were actually added to the game.
Saw that too!
It would be nice if log cabins could randomly generate in the world. Like in plains, forest or rarely mountain.
The wood is sideways!
Oh god that tiny thing is a pet isnt it ?ughhh
Umm…It’s a copper axe.
Definitely rotatable logs and new type of tools
hello I would like, that the tribes be added as cavemen, Indians who had disease that could be cured with plants, some kind of mechanism that could move blocks as the piston ..
Kaalus, a serious question. What does the message “CANT GO NO MORE” mean I’ve seen it a couple time when playing but it doesn’t make sense.
Is it when you’re running and stamina catches up on you?
I have never had that happen.
No it is when you are on a camel.
But copper tool is just stupid. You should add tin and bronze instead. I know you had said that tin looks too much like iron, but if theres only tin chunk and no tin ingot, i think it would be okay since iron ore has reddish color.
And sideway log is just awesome
I think copper tools makes sense enough. If you look at a piece of real copper it does not look like you want to be stabbed with a snapped off shard of it…
Why are you guys so mean just enjoy that he has added a new type of tools
Yay! Sideways logs!
What’s on the 2nd inventory box looks like green stuff
I wonder if it has to do with the weather. A log cabin would likely be catching fire all the time in the powerful storms in SC. BTW, if that isn’t it, can we have a lightning rod so we can still have wooden houses? 😉
Because of this, I have disabled weather features. It is sad, but unfortunately neccesary. Lightning criples the game quite a bit. Maybe this will change in the future.
You can disable weather effects in adventure mode now, you just need some tools first, to be able to mine, chop trees, etc
Because I like the rain/snow, I have been reluctant to turn off the weather effects but I will probably do that in future. I could use a break from the ‘explosion’ sound that seems a bit too loud to me, too. Still lovin’ the game, though :)
Kaalus I know you are hard at work, but lightning keeps destroying some of my builds. Could you make it where you can turn off the explosions from the lightning but still have the weather?
I fully agre with you.
Turn the Environment into “Static” in the world settings, it Works… Lightnings Don’t cause any explosions and don’t set on fire nothing…
Static is not a good option. We still want the world to be living, otherwise it is very sterile. We just want the lightning gone or at least set to non-destructive.
Oh… Now I understand your Point… Yeah, Is a good idea…
Does it turn animals off?
In static, no new animals will spawn, but as far as I know, you can spawn animals.
1. Logs can now be placed
2. The axe floating looks to be a wooden tool that’s dyed, or you added a new mineral (Which isn’t copper cause you have mentioned that copper is to soft of a material to be a ore used to make a tool)
If you read all the replies, you would have picked this one up:

Hahaha. Just do what I did. 😕
I actually cheated, I copied from you.
Kaalus do play SC yourself quite often? Usually programmers do not really engage so much in that which they create. For the bit of programming I’ve done myself, I enjoyed programming more than actually using what I’ve programmed.
Its side ways logs isent it oh and a ax in the cround to look like an arrow the kind that tellls you to go in a diretion.
Maby weapons get bloody that would expan the axe?
Wooden fences and iron fences connecting to blocks?
It would be a nice feature to add :-)
Please multiplayer
