I have integrated the new big feature into the inventory system. There’s a lot of new UI that you have not seen yet, but one change to existing stuff looks like that:
The controls are at the top and you can click on the category button (“Tools”) to pick from a list. This is usually much faster than using the arrows.
I am now doing (hopefully) the last thing to do with the new feature: integrating it with the community content. It’s already hooked into crafting and electricity.

Look at his Inventory. What are those letter looking things?!
That’s what I saw to
too*
Me too.
Hmmm, I just noticed. They appear to resemble letters then again they could be something else. Maybe you can make your own blocks… who knows?
Kaalus
… you got me there
It’s the “sculpting thing” he is doing. Those “Letter things” are a “P” and “P” and “U”.
hey man ;)
Hey :D
Custom blocks.
Seems so, no wonder the coding must’ve taken so long. Each block must also have a 3D dropped item look too. And it’s tied with electricity… so we can make handheld devices? Can’t wait.
I agree. Micro blocks, I’ve been wondering ever since he posted the chair, i figured you must be able to make custom blocks out of mini blocks.
Is that it in the inventory slots.
First
sorry
A welcomed feature for sure. And looks like the update is nigh!
Pretty sure it’s crafting
*sculpting. Perhaps he’s hidden a chisel somewhere?
I think that the hammer is the “chisel” you are talking about.
Or the stereotypical hammer and chisel sculpting
Well, usually you have a chisel along with the hammer so
Cool
hello kaalus could consider the sound of wolves and animals redusca when it is in deep caves.
Wouldn’t they echo and be even louder in caves due to the enclosed area?
what I mean is that when we are inside the cave there are wolves outside and listen as if you were inside but it would be nice to hear an echo when we are inside
Good observation
Hey Kaalus,
I’ve been approved for the Hololens first wave, so when are you producing that version? ;)
You are doing a great job, cant wait for the update!! Thanks for everything mate!
Holy cow! Those letter things in his inventory! It must be sculpting!
Fingers crossed he tells us soon!
I guess in CC you can share sculpture patterns? Maybe a copy and paste sort of deal… Of course it’s probably not literally copy and paste
I think that the know feature is sculpting and your sculpture is saved as a brand new blockID. Which is why he needed 32-bits for the extra block id’s.
Or maybe its a block that’s ONE ID and can be customized?
As long as it is sharing sculptures! :D
It must be custom blocks. One inventory section will then be your custom blocks and you can share your created blocks on the net. I sure hope that there will be more than one set, so that you can still keep your own when downloading others.
Hey Kaalus, the sea urchin will be like a animal (with spawner egg or no) or like a plant?
I think it’ll act more as a plant since in the picture you could see the sea urchin in the inventory.
Yeah, I agree, but I thought that Kaalus had changed his mind after the comments
i can’t wait for the update to come out!
I called it. I said he should make a new inventory screen because of how hard the old one was to use. Good job Kaalus.
aaand I called you being able to upload your miniature structures to CC…
Also, seeing as he linked it with electricity, I am hoping we can make machines like the calculator and improved rtc into a small block you can place into your survival world. With CC, you could just download the machibes and with crafting, craft and place into your survival. If this is what Kaalus is doing then I am very, very excited.
I was thinking more along the lines of using it for hidden rooms and for security
Did the number of Pumpkins available on the surface get reduced when the size and depth of the caves was changed?
They seem few and very very far between.
I bet this happened as a result of adding Very Tall Spruce trees … there are more cold&snow biome areas now!?
But yes! He’s nearly done with it! 😝 But 🤔 Will it update to which first, Windows first, or iOS, android? Which, all together update?
Android.
He didn’t actually add a new biome. The biome was already in the game it just grew normal spruces instead. He just moved around how much humidity is needed to grow trees. Tall spruce just replaced the high humidity cold areas.
God! That’s not really exciting to know to me! Sorry Kaalus! Have a question: is everything going well in this feature? Or are there some buggy stuff and testing fix you have to do? will the frames per second improve? Let us know what’ll happen soon please.
One more question Kaalus: is this feature to do with survival too? I like survival. Is it just creative? Huh… If it is, then it’s fine I’ll just try the new feature, but please improve survival. Thank you for the hard work on this feature Kaalus! That’s amazing!
It’s Mini blocks.
Tied to crafting I.e. You have to craft your items I.e. Flower pot, letters, chair. Hammer used to Obliterate Normal blocks.
Tied to electricity I.e. You can make torches that turn on and off I.e mini light blocks I.e. Now connected with electricity.
Tied to community content I.e. Search option for Mini block worlds.
One last thing lol: I think wooden tools in survival feels a bit unrealistic, I suppose switch into stonechunk tools, or something like that. It’ll also be awesome if you need string to make stone/stonechunk tools, use hammers to shape metals like iron or copper into their tools? I’m just showing how to improve survival and make more use to hammer in survival. more ideas: stonechunk tools are crafted in handcrafting, e.g 2 stonechunks and 1 stick for axe, 1 stonechunk and 2 sticks for stonechunk spear, 3 stone chunks and 1 stick for hammer or pick Axe? I don’t know? but please improve survival next time. Please!🙁
A stone machete is unrealistic, stone irl would break if it was in a shape that long.
A wooden machete is more realistic, but a wooden axe isn’t. Stone axes have been around for millenia.
I said stone chunk tools would be only crafted are: axe, SPEAR. If you found a big stonechunk it’s not possible to throw, but possible to mine rock, but they break only 2 blocks, then they are broken.
Remember tools need to be crafted first from stick and string to make more realism. Grass string.
Your awesome kaalus! Can’t wait :D
I’m under the impression that you can build Your own blocks with mini blocks, so you can craft your own custom furniture, cups, lamps knifes, forks, wall paintings, etc, things to add to the surrounding to make it look more realistic and customised, my biggest problem with creative has always been filling rooms with different styles of furniture and decorations, there is only so many houses you can walk into that has a small keg of tnt on the bench as a cup ;) I can imagine that seeing he has merged it with electricity you will be able to make miniature TV’s and stuff. Ooh yeah! Imagination is going wild!
Omg!!! Imagine the computers you could build and they would only take up a few blocks! A portable radio that plays songs of your making or custom TV shows. Imagine making a video intro to your adventure map…. Sigh I need a second life so I’ve got enough time to play more Sc!
There will be a limit though. As you can see, the created items is part of the inventory, which means that you create items that you put into a custom inventory. So you might get 16 or 32 items you can create. It would be great if was even more.
Kaalus I really hope for the following:
1. Quite a few slots for custom blocks, also more than one set.
2. When you download custom content, it must be only one of many sets that you can download, so that it will not replace all of your own items.
3. Please increase the amount of items you may have on the community, because this changes everything.
Ok, so now I am fairly sure that I was right concerning custom blocks. I just do not know what the clay is for, since you created that chair with wood. Maybe the clay just have to do with the colour aspect of these blocks and how will you incorporate electricity?
I have a guess that you will build your item with big blocks and then when you break it with the hammer, it shrinks down to a custom block size.
Omg
Great!
Hey Kaalus. Please add autofill in chests. Here is a picture of mine on how to do it
How did you get bedrock?
hacker has bedrock…
Amav, you hacked the game…
I don’t listen to hackers…
You are being stupid. What do you think modding is.
I “hack” the game to switch from creative to cruel
Ike how do you do that? I have a cruel world that I have played since 1.20 and I don’t want to lose it because I have over 650 days in game on the worlds so can you tell me?
Well, on the PC version its possible to go into the app data, and somewhere in there are the world files. You can give yourself infinite health, items, or change the game mode.
So yeah. You have to poke around in the files, I haven’t done it recently and don’t remember the steps to get to it.
So you don’t know where the app data is stored? I’m new to computers, so I don’t know much about them. Thanks for helping though.
Well, its in the app data. I have the pc version on a tablet, and file explorer doesn’t like to look at apps downloaded from the store, so it can be hard to find them.
Anyway, once you find the stuff for survival craft, there will be several folders, one of which has the worlds in them. In those there are several files names project or something. There is one of them that actually allows you to change the world parameters, such as flat terrain, and game mode
Harvest bedrock: http://youtu.be/LMoWoEaiNUo
Is that a hammer? I don’t remember to have it in the game.
Was mentioned in one of the previous posts
I have still n idea. Ergh.
This is great, I have never anticipated a new release of any game as much as this one.
I actually follow these posts daily.
In the meantime I am playing Warband with a custom mod while waiting. I like these ‘open world’ type of games and Survival Craft is in a class of its own.
I am also just slightly worried that the game may slow down with all these improvements, but I am sure Kaalus is optimizing his code as much as he can!
Maybe hes adding Mods!
It is impossible to mod your own game. It is like forging your own work of art. It is not a forgery, it is just another original. Besides, it is already possible to mod survivalcraft.
He probably means modding support
Yes thats what I meant.
New layout seems good
Kaalus, you have to teach us how to use the new feature when the update comes out!!
Also, when you said that the feature almost turned you into a creative mode guy, I was somewhat worried. Is the feature as accessible in survival mode as in creative mode?
I’m even more pumped for whatever that new survival mode feature is!
Me too!!! : D
It has to be. Why else would crafting be involved.
True, but you never know.
Yeah, I understand there is still a possibility it doesnt
May I ask a question, almost like a poll?
What ages are you guys on this forum? It would be interesting to know what age groups are playing SC.
Still think it’s carving, according to the “P”s and “U”s in his task bar. :-)
Can you please increase the speed of the spears a little bit?
I think its more of a javelin than a true spear. It doesn’t have more reach than a machete(as a true spear should) and has a very wide head, not good for penetration like a throwing spear, but it has alot of weight and force from the impact.
So yeah, its more of a javelin
I’d actually like a true spear that allows for attacks at 3 1/2 blocks away instead of the two that you get with a machete.
Also the ability to make knives, a weapon with bad reach but the ability to carve things
Tap a pumpkin with a knife –> get a jack ‘o lantern
I think spear actually is a broad term fro throwing pole-arms. Now what we need is an official pole arm, i.e. a pike, or a halberd.
That’s not to say you couldn’t thrust with a javelin, its just not the best way to use it, and it would be more fragile than a melee spear
yep.
Actually, no! It is a spear! Regular spears can be thrown and thrusted.
Yes, a spear can be thrown, but the “spear” in game is closer to a form of javelin than a true spear
Wrong! This spear is a regular spear.
There is no such thing as a regular spear. There are heavy melee spears, light throwing spears, heavy throwing spears(known as javelins), and lances.
You are wrong, because there is no normal spear. Sears are specialized weapons. You don’t want to fight other infantry with a pike, but against cavalry its really good. A roman pilum(form of javelin) was crap for melee, but was very good at being a javelin and was used throughout the entirety of the roman empire.
Your idea that a “regular spear” can be both thrown and trusted is wrong. A good javelin wont be good at melee, due to the way a javelin is constructed. A spear such as the ones used by hoplites were very sturdy, good for thrusting attacks, but if you tried to throw it it wouldn’t go far. It would be better to keep using it as a melee weapon
Please improved villeage
‘improved villages’? We don’t even have villages in the game.
why would there be?
I believe this guy doesn’t speak english. He may have used google translate and that messes up, so he may have asked for villages
Custom blocks? If so, that would be plain awesome. It is the best feature of Fortresscraft on Xbox.
Im soooooooo pumped for this update
Do you guys see what Kaalus did there? He built those letters out of dyed clay blocks and shrunk them down! At least I’m pretty sure he did…
I think he carved them. Maybe clay requires a hammer?
Hammers pound or fix things. They don’t carve objects.
Technically a hammer and chisel will carve objects, and for clay you could pound it to shape it.
True, he probably carved them. Shrinking would be cool as well though…
Yes, it would. But i think that belongs more in a Scifi game. Well, in a way this is a Scifi game. So maybe. :-)
This UI update is a fantastic feature in itself. Thanks! :)
Dispite it was changed 2 updated ago.
Updates*
Idk why but the background looks different.
If anybody has any ideas please let me know.
Hey that looks great Kaalus! I’m extremely excited about the letter thingies! I hope they’re something useful. I also have a few suggestions for the game. I want different types/colors of horses and I want dogs. I think that’s it. Keep up the good work!
I also have a question. My worlds won’t upload because is says BadRequest (400). Also my character has this weird glitch where it’s black and has a hat on, even if I don’t out a hat on it. Any ideas?
Thanks Kaalus! The electric community will now evolve. I’m glad one of my first predictions was right. Some of these comments are slightly amusing.
Why do I get the feeling that was directed at me?
No seas ojete Kaalus quiero jugar. Quiero multijugador y no tus manadas.
Al diablo tu pinche escultura. Deja de agregar mamadas.
Dude, just stop.
What do you have against spanards?!
They are crap at economies
Do you know what he said?
I’m not spanards,
ike 231 you’re an Idiot, and also your laifren, uncultured Americans, do not be so stupid. PENDEJOS.
your mother is bad economics ike231.i.
what I said was, your mom this horrendous laifren.
jajajajajaja
Huh, the “cultured” person can only throw insults in broken English.
Lol, “your mother is bad economics”
So cultured, much wow.
And yeah, Spain has had crap economies since forever.
Ike231: And so you mean some tools or weapons don’t exist in certain materials when you replied to my comment? Ok, that’s very true! Then now stone tools are only: a pick axe, axe and a spear only. Iron, copper or diamond can be shaped into any. I also meant stone chunk tools would be only crafted are: axe, SPEAR. If you found a big stonechunk it’s not possible to throw, but possible to mine rock, but they break only 2 blocks, then they are broken. All that would be awesome which means breaking hard stuff takes a very very long time bare handed and does not drop a thing e.g wood, stone, ores, tall crops, and grassy dirt blocks. Some take time (not very long) and drops e.g dirt, sand and gravel. Some can be dropped and take seconds e.g tall grass, plants, leaves, crafting table, furnace and chairs(that will be available soon). Gravel must be found always near bodies of water but not always on salt water ocean. Only lakes and rivers. Guys will this be we some if it was in Survivalcraft?
You can craft rakes from just stickswith out needing planks: Wooden rake.
Hope the thing with the cc is the last? Anyways, what abiout the screenshot contest
And make a brush so we can paint the sculptures
My survival craft just updated!!!
1.30?
He didn’t release it at all yet it’s just some small fixes
No idea. Not good at guessing anything. Thought this thing when I saw P, P, U letters. Doesn’t it just look like colourful blocks when we make pixel art? How to shrink it or make it merge when we break the block, I don’t know.
1. Crafting table. 16×16 blocks. Like the P,P,U letter above. 5×3 blocks, blue and purple clay? Make your custom design and press craft button, and shrink to your desired size. Or
2. 3d crafting table or mini world. Press a button, and spawn in mini world. Make your custom design, use mallet to shrink your item. Then respawn in original world. And have your item in your inventory.
…. Not related to electric. 😅
Ha ha ha. Beyond my imagination.😵
Altitude changing in creative? one feature which is necessary to add: We know survivalcraft could change tempreture and humidity in creative, so why not add altitude too? This is also important for lots of reasons, that includes people who want to create quests with lots of mountains or make a survival map from a low altitude(completely flat) to create a forest or something. Because it’s difficult and takes ages to add plants and trees in flat terrain. So what do you think guys?
I hope Kaalus makes a major improvement in multiple things in survivalcraft e.g quality, animal behavior etc… If you wondered why Kaalus added a moose, it is just a good random snowy animaly idea. I hope he does do lots of these features the next update. Lions, tigers, piranhas? Why not loot? I hope they do next time Kaalus these could loot: lions drop leather, Tigers drop small amounts of fur and piranhas drop thier teeth (even sharks) literally called “sharp teeth” use to make spears or arrows as the strength of diamonds! Other animals that do not drop also must and so on… That’s a good way to improve survivalcraft Kaalus, not exactly that but some stuff, that’s just a way of improvement.
Kaalus please I’m asking, what ideas or planned features will be added in 1.31 or so? Please what can you put? I recommend multiplayer if not why not baby animals grow to medium then to adult that stay together with adult until they grow fully or mommy protects baby? Male, female animals? (Remember lioness is the female version of lions) animals are breed by put in fence together and then a bar shown on top of each is hunger that needs to stay on full always by feeding their fav. food, then after days a baby is born? thirst? Please let us know Kaalus! Thanks for reading! I really appreciate the 1.30 update but I’m more looking forward to what’s next?
Can you stop? He won’t answer.
Ok.. If it’s disturbing.
Does anyone know which features are being planned from Kaalus to be added?
Nope, he usually keeps his secrets well.
Kaalus is not discussing ideas… I hope he finish the 1.30 release then we can have time to vote or do some talking.
And no one knew, the tools category is /2 not /3 if Kaalus just pressed the down button then hidden surprises will be spoiled. Hmm… Interesting….😑🤔
Why is that interesting? You can’t even prove that’s true. Do you ever stop posting? And I can guarantee that everyone saw that the picture reads “2/3”. It’s not hard to miss, especially being right next to the new inventory button.
If only there was a FacePalm Emoji right now
No sorry it’s /3 but there are stuff under not revealed.
I hope the new update has bug fixes because I have a lot of bugs. And my App Store will not update; it has no info on SC.
Is the bug when you try to launch survivalcraft it crashes and exits? I think I got the same.
One is Kaalus is fixing is items go black at high altitudes an other on is the one when invisible models work around is enable, the players face goes completely black. But explain specifically what bug has been caused so Kaalus could fix.
May I ask a question, almost like a poll? What ages are you guys on this forum? It would be interesting to know what age groups are playing and following SC.
I think S.J Friday is 7
Wow! And the person is completely black and has a hat on and my worlds won’t upload.
Lemme guess kindle?
Ask any YouTube account that doesn’t have a picture, or if it is a Minecraft or FNAF profile picture it’s still a safe bet.
SJ Friday is probably at most 5.
Are you guys being serious? How can a five-year-old post on this forum?
I’m 15 I hardly comment but I’m always on this blog 24/7 😂😂
I’m thirteen. And a girl.
I’m 21… Not the oldest, but not the youngest…
I’m 17 and I like Survivalcraft
This is really, really far fetched, but if you rearrange the letters he has, it spells “PUP”.
Again, really far out there, but will we be able to domesticate dogs?
Lol.
Hey I’m all for the anagrams!
hi guys, I still want multiplayer. hi leinad or daniel, hi ike231.
Ahemm! I’m here! How do you think a five year old or seven can even do all that? He does not even know what to do in the WordPress! So of course you’re wrong! Oh I’ve got a funny joke: in Survivalcraft what happens to a bow when it’s so mad? A crossbow! Haha! what da ya think? Does anybody have one?
Where is Justin Briggs by the way? I haven’t seen him in this post. I think he’s busy doing that world I gave him an idea of the alien invasion stuff.
hi i am still here but just haven’t done anything for a wile…
this is my school username if you are wondering….
the alien invasion hasn’t even been started, i have however been doing a bunch of art involving coffee which i have been craving for weeks :-D
Hi I am right here!
I have been doing art work for some time now; however, I won’t release the work until I can find away to copyright it so no one can steel the idea and when I do that I can attempt to sell the copyright to speedway gas company for merchandise….
Hopefully, just hopefully they will accept the offer and by doing so I may begin my career in graphic communications.
This is a very important thing to me so I won’t take even the slightest Chance of having the idea stolen from me making my completely original image seem like a remake and also giving speedway a chance of getting it before I give it to them for a reasonable price
Who here does community worlds? I mean top rated stuff. I wanna know your creations.
My world is Real Animate. It used to be high up, but is now in the thirties. You can have a look at it and tell me what you think. I’ve got animation, elevators, a light house, log cabins (newest addition) and more. I’ve even built my own islands. Most if not all, have been linked by underground tunnels, even the islands. With one of my elevators, you can choose the floor where it must stop. Be careful though, elevators easily kills you if you are not in the middle of the lift.
Ons day when a rail system is in place, it will work great.
Also tell me what you think of my texture pack (Johan Real HD). This is very new.
I can’t put stuff on there anymore. Dropbox crashes.
Not dropbox SC.
What d u say when ur wolf is lost? Werewolf (where wolf)
Lol I get it!
Want to see an amazing picture?
I would quickly then slice at those bears with my sword in fear.
Add reptiles plz.
Yeah, your right I hope there are more animals like snakes or others.
I wonder why mgblitz doesnt leave a reply
I don’t think there is any negatives. If someone does not like painted wires, they just don’t use them. I like the idea.
Cool
