Automation Update | V1.3.1

Features Added:

• Auto Crafter: Introduced a new Auto Crafter system, allowing automated crafting of items. Players can configure recipes, and the Auto Crafter will consume resources from connected inventories to produce items automatically.
• Conveyor Belts: Added Conveyor Belts to enable item transportation across the map. Items placed on the belts will move in the direction of the belt, allowing for efficient resource management and automation.
• Diverter: Added the Diverter, which splits an item stream based on a specified item type. This allows players to route specific resources to different destinations, enabling more precise automation setups.
• Splitter: Similar to the Diverter but splits all items evenly between two paths, making it useful for balancing resource distribution.
• Merger: Added a Merger system to combine multiple item streams into one. This is useful for consolidating resources from different production lines.
• Refinery: Introduced the Refinery for processing raw materials into refined products. Players can input raw resources, and the Refinery will output higher-tier materials required for advanced crafting.
• New Music: Added new background music tracks to enhance the game’s atmosphere. The music is currently set and does not change dynamically, but dynamic music transitions are planned for future updates.

Bug Fixes:

• Multiplayer Chest Sync: Fixed an issue where chests in multiplayer were not syncing correctly if a player already had the chest open. The server now properly updates all players' chest states in real time.
• Null Item Handling: Fixed null item handling in the AutoCrafterData constructor and improved null checks in InventorySlot's OnDrop method.
• Canvas Fixes: Adjusted canvas prefab anchor and size properties for better alignment.
• Factory and Asset Adjustments: Fixed bugs related to isSolid properties for factory assets and updated toolNeededToDestroy property for various items.
• General Bug Fixes: Resolved multiple bugs related to tiles and inventory handling.

Changes and Removals:

• Refiner Texture: Removed the refiner texture, focusing on other asset updates.
• Unused Assets: Deleted unused assets like the colossal game music collection, transport belt, and the main menu video file.
• Texture Updates: Updated several textures across the game to improve visual quality and consistency. This includes new textures for factory components, tiles, and other in-game assets.
