Changes: Modified how music plays and added new tracks (new tracks are from stock music, so they will not be added to the soundtrack) Made the trigger operation exclusively for bonding, not for bonding and separation Changed swimming controls (thrust is generated only when the hand is open and moved palm-side) Prevented living Yellow Slime from being used as synthesis material Burnt objects are now considered less in synthesis and blueprint materials Slowed down the rate of atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude Increased the amount of Niter dropped from Green Slime Changed the drop from Ancient Suicide Drone Maker from engines to Niter Fixes: Fixed the issue where batteries and similar items intermittently conduct electricity when connected sideways Fixed the issue where the menu cannot be operated during high-speed movement Fixed the issue of small objects being difficult to grab Fixed the issue of creating thinner than limit objects using synthesis Other minor fixes

The initial early access period for Primitier was planned for 1-2 years. However, due to missing elements such as variations in mobs, we are expecting to extend the period by about a year. Thus, the official release is now anticipated to be around the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025. For the full version, we plan to add mainly the following elements: - Mobs smarter than slimes and drones - Fortress boss - Creative mode - Logic circuit system (this may be added in an update after the full release) We appreciate your continued support for Primitier.

- Fixed a bug where the physics simulation becomes unstable during processing lags - Fixed a bug where thin objects disappear when cut - Fixed a bug where swimming is only possible with Touch controllers - Fixed a bug where objects sometimes don't leave the hand - Fixed a bug where the separation operation occasionally triggers the sound effect twice

Additions: - Blueprint System: You can launch the Blueprint UI from the left-hand menu. By registering a blueprint of an object, you can automatically create the same object by consuming equivalent materials and electricity. Changes: - Switched the input system from SteamVR Input to OpenXR - Changed the VIVE controller's grab action to grip toggle, and the join action to trigger - Separation action can now be done with the A/X button on Touch controllers and the A button on Index controllers - Other minor adjustments Fixes: - Fixed the issue where the block would be released from the hand after breaking Blueprint data is saved in Documents\Primitier\Saves\Blueprints and can be shared with other players by transferring files. Added to the guidelines that blueprint data can be shared.

- Fixed a bug where the temperature of objects becomes NaN (objects already turned into NaN will return to the ambient temperature upon loading) - Fixed a bug where Yellow Slime could not be cooked - Fixed a bug where the Ancient Fortress could not be generated on the south and west sides - Adjusted the growth rate of Yellow Slime - Adjusted the generation probability of Ancient Fortress

Additions: - Ancient Fortress: A massive ruin guarded by thick walls and beam turret. (I plan to spawn a boss at the center, but the boss is not yet implemented) - Ancient Suicide Drone: Mainly appears inside the fortress and explodes at a certain distance when it approaches the player. - Yellow Slime: Eats almost all substances excluding gold, silver, glass, etc. - Repair Filler: Obtained by combining raw rubber and yellow slime. It can restore the durability of objects through a bonding operation. - Additional display items have been added to the right-hand window, such as the speed of an object and descriptions of substances. Adjustments: - The algorithm for determining the cutting direction of an object has been revised to make it easier to cut in the targeted direction. - Made sure that the speed of an object is not reset due to cutting or separation. - Increased the maximum rotation speed of an object from 4 rotations/second to 8 rotations/second. - Increased the torque of engines and motors at low speeds. - Made sure that the moment of inertia tensor (ease of rotation) of objects containing substances with different densities is correctly calculated. - Added VFX when an object takes damage. - Changed the green slime's behavior to prioritize attacking over feeding. - Increased the maximum size of the objects that can be eaten in one bite. - Made other minor adjustments. Corrections: - Fixed a bug where the generation size of pyrite was not an integer cm. - Fixed a bug where the color of the distant view would become strange when the time was reset.
