Echo Of The Void - Changelog v1.0.6.2

Date: 2026-03-26

Event System Fixes

Manual interaction cooldown consumption

• Fixed several manual/paranoia interactions that could consume cooldowns even when no visible effect happened.
• Cooldowns are now applied only when the event actually triggers successfully.
• Updated flow for:
  • bedside_open
  • workbench_reject
  • false_container_open
  • tool_answer
  • compass_liar (manual trigger path)
• This resolves cases where /uncanny debugEvents showed cooldown progression while nothing happened in-game.

Debug report weather timer sanity

• Fixed extreme/invalid weather cooldown display values in debug output (sentinel/overflow-like values).
• Added safe remaining-time formatting for weather timers in /uncanny debugEvents.

Weather timer sanitization

• Added runtime sanitization to weather next-check and weather cooldown timers.
• Invalid or stale far-future values are now clamped/recovered cleanly during server tick updates.
• Prevents “dead” weather scheduling states after bad timer values.

Special Spawn Reliability

Cave/surface context-aware special spawns

• Improved special spawn placement to better match player context:
  • if player is on surface, spawn attempts prioritize surface-valid spots,
  • if player is in caves, spawn attempts prioritize cave-valid spots.
• Spawn search now checks downward + upward paths relative to player Y for better underground reliability.
• Reduced excessive far-distance spawn windows when player is underground so specials remain perceptible.
• Applied in the shared special spawn pipeline used by scheduled special appearances.

Gameplay Adjustments

Giant Sun - levitation cap

• The levitation pulse behavior tied to the Giant Sun sequence is now capped.
• Maximum levitation applications per event instance: 3.
• Prevents repeated levitation chaining beyond intended intensity.

Keeper? - near base but not inside base

• Keeper? spawn eligibility was tightened to avoid invalid in-base appearances.
• Keeper? can now be selected/spawned only when the player is:
  • near the base
  • but not inside the base interior radius.
• Added explicit guardrails in both special-choice selection and spawn execution so invalid "inside-base" keeper attempts are skipped cleanly.
