Cobblemon Field Survival

0.18.0-beta.1 — FielDex

This update introduces FielDex, a new way to inspect your Pokémon and manage what they can do in the field, along with a major overhaul of the V command wheel.

FielDex

• Added the new FielDex interface, with pages for your party, stats, care, Field Skills, bonuses, available actions and team support.
• Added interactive Pokémon models, contextual tooltips, UI sounds, a close button and a configurable . keybind.
• Added smooth one-second opening and closing animations.
• Replaced the old fixed-size portraits with a new library of native, alpha-trimmed Pokémon sprites.
• Pokémon portraits now keep their original proportions and are fitted dynamically with crisp nearest-neighbor scaling instead of being stretched.
• FielDex and the Field Command Wheel now share the same action information, helping keep displayed actions consistent with what Pokémon can actually perform.

New Field Command Wheel

• Completely rebuilt the V radial into the new Field Command Wheel.
• The first page now keeps all six party slots in their normal positions, with access to General Commands on the right.
• Selecting a Pokémon opens its own command menu with:
  • Combat
  • Movement
  • Pokémon Actions
  • Care
  • Synergies
  • Stop All Actions
• Added proper Back/Close navigation, Next Page controls and pagination for Pokémon with larger action lists.
• Added team-level General Commands and aggregation of actions provided by your currently fielded Pokémon.
• Added clearer provider selection when more than one Pokémon can perform the same action.
• Improved action tooltips with multiline descriptions, cooldowns, stamina information and explanations for unavailable actions.
• Added new icons for Combat, Pokémon Actions and movement commands such as Come.

Command & Action Improvements

• Shift now appears correctly under Movement for Ghost Pokémon.
• Nightmare remains a Dark-type Combat action.
• Web Wall is now correctly grouped under Combat.
• Fairy Pokémon can now correctly access Harvest.
• Removed Fairy Pokémon from invalid Berry Bloom eligibility.
• Removed the duplicate Preserve Food entry previously shown to Ice Pokémon for the same Freeze action.
• Fixed Storm Call previews so Water Pokémon can correctly see the synergy.
• Storm Call now correctly requires its Fire, Water and Electric roles to be provided by three distinct Pokémon, matching server behavior.
• Improved Storm Call handling for dual-type Pokémon.
• Fixed Earth Refuge cooldown previews for both Ground and Rock participants.
• General Sleep now sends the existing Rest command to every eligible fielded Pokémon, instead of selecting only one.

Cooldowns & Availability

• Field Command availability now uses the existing synchronized cooldown data for Cleanse, Repair, Web Wall and supported team synergies.
• Water Breathing and Teleport now retain their cooldown information client-side, allowing the wheel to show their actual remaining cooldowns.
• Improved General Command provider selection so exhausted Pokémon can still appear for relevant Care commands without incorrectly being treated as available for Combat or work.
• Exhausted Pokémon also no longer count as valid synergy partners.

Fixes & Polish

• Fixed Pokémon portraits sometimes appearing invisible in the Field Command Wheel.
• Corrected portrait placement against Cobblemon's radial coordinate system so sprites remain centered and unstretched.
• Reduced Field Command Wheel party portraits from 48×48 to 36×36 logical pixels for a cleaner fit inside each wedge.
• Fixed stale portrait and command-wheel state remaining behind after closing the wheel with Escape or Cobblemon's normal close behavior.
• Removed duplicated action names and descriptions so the shared command descriptor system is now the single source used by both FielDex and the Field Command Wheel.

Under the Hood

• Continued breaking up the large StandaloneActionEngine, moving Fishing, Harvesting and Stamina Recovery into dedicated controllers and runtime services.
• Added additional regression tests covering the new command layouts, navigation, pagination, shared action data, provider selection, Pokémon sprite resolution and action runtime behavior.

This release is a major step toward making CFS's growing number of field systems easier to understand and much faster to command in normal gameplay.
