Just wanted to make a thread for people to share the new tech for 26.3 and the new draftout update (sulphur caves, camps new goals etc.).

One thing which I can share for people with trash PCs is that Vulcan rendering was not overhyped and I went from struggling at 20rd to being able to run 32rd with stable high fps.

I'm no expert but for "Die to Sulfur Cube," I believe you can do both TNT and Magma Sulfur Cube.

giantfungus2 weeks ago

Wait a sec

giantfungus2 weeks ago

Can you just crit a sulfur cube while it has a block in it for 400 damage?

giantfungus2 weeks ago

Someone test this

Sly2 weeks ago

my question is why would you go to a sulfur cave so early for 400 damage to still be on the board?

beniibobs2 weeks ago

what sort of a question is this. you do this if there’s a sulfur cave nearby and it’s good for the line

Sly2 weeks ago

yeah that was a dumb question from me, since any info can be useful in some cases

giantfungus2 weeks ago

It’s ok

Notable settings changes from Draftout v1.16.1 26.1.1:
Can manually set brightness to 500 in video settings (in base Draftout now!)
You can disable the preset slider in Draftout settings
New f3 shortcut (f3+x) that toggles improved transparency (causes game to reload textures)
You can toggle quit shortcuts (alt+f4) off

SparkFire_2 weeks ago(edited)

honestly this is only useful for potions

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

the barrels are just nice for misc mats

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

and the common chests are the best for goals by far

beniibobs2 weeks ago

they generate with cobwebs as well don’t they? wonder what the average total string count is considering the cobwebs and string from the loot too

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

do you know if the cobwebs are in the same place always or does it work like abandoned villages

SparkFire_2 weeks ago(edited)

~~piedaring for campfire seems viable - just have to account for false positives with spruce village~~ camps only have unlit campfires which dont show on pie

LexingtoniusOP2 weeks ago

oooh this is cool i didnt think of this

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

dont really need f3 to locate stuff on maps which is cool now

beniibobs2 weeks ago

no more ground punch strats to find north

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

and if you need a specific biome you can just find an abandoned camp map for that biome which is aweseome

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

thats honestly smart asf

draftout2 weeks ago

I know what this is but I’m confused about why the need to disable? Mine is set to custom and I never touch it

draftout2 weeks ago

^specifically about the preset slider

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

if you accidentally move it when trying to adjust rd it messes up all your settings

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

and if you move it back to custom it doesnt fix it

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

not the end of the world but can be annoying

draftout2 weeks ago

oh! i remember ppl complaining about the rd messing up settings, but wasn’t sure what they meant. makes sense to add a disable option

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

pie charting for cushions also works but it has false negatives instead as not all camps have cushions

draftout2 weeks ago

i was just playing around with this and realized campfires dont show up on pie unless they're lit.

from my experience, i have only ever come across camps with unlit campfires, so im not sure how helpful piedaring would be

draftout2 weeks ago

idk the stats for camps and if they generate lit/unlit

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

oh I didn't know thats how they worked but to answer your question they never generate lit

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

so that strategy is toast but the cushion one works atleast

HeheChase2 weeks ago

Is cushion an entity

draftout2 weeks ago

yea

HeheChase2 weeks ago

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

in f3 debug an option called sodium:fps_percentiles has also been added and will mess up how things are sorted in your f3

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

you can change the f3 gui scale independently this is so hype

draftout2 weeks ago

only with sodium tho?

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

another misc change is that numpad can be used to control the directory you select on pie

draftout2 weeks ago

my gui scale is messed up with the changes they made to mac i think. will try to figure it out after 26.3.1 comes out

draftout2 weeks ago

ive never seen a camp without a cushion (i dont think?) but you could also do copper golem to account for false neg

SparkFire_2 weeks ago

copper golem is rare though

draftout2 weeks ago

feels common enough to be a useful thing you pie for

draftout2 weeks ago

do you know of anywhere with stats on these things?

Sly2 weeks ago

if your f3 screen is a different size that what you are used to (for me it was way smaller) you can change its gui in the f3+f6 menu

giantfungus2 weeks ago

The maps are good

draftout2 weeks ago

yeah, that's a helpful update, but i think my problem is with how the gui scale is interacting with the full screen/not full screen. i dont really understand all the full screen stuff.

gui 3 used to be fine but now it is too small while in full screen

Cheese2 weeks ago

Sinjin2 weeks ago
