The Farming Framework brings the power of the Producers, Buffs, and Areas to make it possible to build experiences with crops, crafting, and shops, as well as personal areas for players that can be upgraded, decorated, and expanded. It takes advantage of the new Data Tables feature and even includes a system to migrate misspelled or redundant storage to a new id without losing player data!

Note: The Farming Framework isn't compatible with the Producers and Gatherables projects yet. We'll be updating those projects to make them compatible soon.

Platform

  • New: CoreObjects spawned during play by World.SpawnAsset() will now apply the asset name to the spawned object.
    • This should make inspecting the hierarchy during play more informative.
    • Creators who were previously relying on the default name "DynamicProxy" for their logic will need to adjust accordingly.
  • New: There is a checkbox under General properties (an advanced property) "Use Skeletal Collisions". If this is selected, that mesh will use the skeletal asset to calculate collisions instead of the normal capsule.
  • New: Non-humanoid animated meshes now have the following Play Animations available:
    • "unarmed_fall_cycle"
    • "unarmed_jump_begin"
    • "unarmed_jump_end"
  • New: humanoid animated meshes now have the following Play Animations available:
    • "unarmed_fall_cycle"
    • "unarmed_jump_begin"
    • "unarmed_jump_end"
    • "unarmed_sit_car_low"
    • "unarmed_sit_spaceship_bentleg"
    • "unarmed_sit_spaceship_straightleg"
    • "unarmed_sit_spaceship_trucker"
  • Fixed: A crash when player enters a vehicle on spawn.
  • Fixed: When an asset is selected in Project Content, the right click context menu should still show entries for creating folder/script/data table.
  • Fixed: When trying to create script/data table inside subfolder folder that allows the asset type, the result asset is inside that folder instead of on top level folder.
  • Fixed: The behavior of Inventory:GiveItem() in more complicated scenarios involving multiple stacks.
  • Fixed: An issue where Inventory:GiveItem() would always fail. [Hotfixed]
  • Fixed: A bug where using the all argument in Inventory:DropItem() would fail to drop all stacks. [Hotfixed]
  • Fixed: An issue where Inventory:RemoveItem()'s optional parameter all was not working correctly. [Hotfixed]
  • Fixed: A bug with nested network contexts causing objects to inherit incorrect context.
  • Fixed: An issue where list of available characters does not show up the first time the UI is shown.
