Kryzenth: Myths & Meteors

Kryzenth 1.4.0

Steam Village (underground structure)

• The cavern: a huge cave with its floor between y -35 and -12, with paved streets, gas lamp posts, giant brass pipes along the ceiling, stalactites and steam vents. A brick chimney with a ladder rises to the surface and marks the spot.
• Buildings: a clock tower at the center (chest at the top), worker houses, workshop houses, open workshops, a foundry, barracks with an Ancient Knight spawner, a pump house with a water tower, a market, a warehouse with rails, and ruins.
• Spawns: Ancient Knights are the monsters that spawn inside the cavern, even with the lamps lit.
• Hangar (rare, about 35% of villages): holds a rusted Steam Mech, the Mech Workbench, and chests with parts and repair kits.
• Pipe network: every roofed building has a brass flange and a pipe that climbs to one of the four giant pipes.
  • The four giant pipes connect to the top of the clock tower: they pass through its roof into a riveted brass hub on top of the tower's central pipe.
  • Where the cave ceiling drops and a giant pipe ends early, a building's pipe climbs straight into the rock instead of floating.
• New blocks:
  • Rusted Plates (with stairs and slab), Riveted Brass, Gears, Brass Pipe and Iron Grate.
  • Steam Vent: its puffs launch you upward.
  • Steam Boiler: lit with coal, put out with water.
  • Gas Lamp  and Mech Workbench.
• Steam Chest: the village's own animated chest. It has a riveted copper box, a trembling gauge, a spinning combination lock, a lid gear and a chimney that puffs smoke, plus its own GUI and sounds.

Steam Mech

• A 3.5-block rideable robot. You find it broken in the hangar.
  • Use 3 Steam Repair Kits to fix it.
  • Fuel it with coal, charcoal or coal blocks.
  • Right-click with an empty hand to get in.
• Controls: WASD to walk; left click uses the drill arm (breaks blocks and hurts); right click uses the weapon arm (Cannon or Flamethrower); jump uses the jetpack (if installed) or a short hop.
• Fuel and hull: walking, drilling, shooting and flying use coal. A HUD shows coal and hull. The mech absorbs 70% of the pilot's damage. Kits and iron ingots repair the hull.
• Mech Workbench (mech within 10 blocks):
  • Drill: brass, diamond, or Kryzenth (3x3, mines anything).
  • Weapon: Cannon or Flamethrower.
  • Plating: iron or Ancient Copper.
  • Reinforced Boiler: +30% speed, lower coal use, faster cannon reload.
  • Mech Jetpack.
  • Coal slot that feeds the boiler.
• Body and leg parts (each comes clean or rusted). The hangar mech comes with a random body and legs.
  • Light Mech Frame: open tube cage. -40 hull, -2 armor, +15% speed, the mech absorbs 50% of the pilot's damage.
  • Steam Cab: the default body.
  • Armored Cab: closed cab with a visor and periscope.
    • The pilot is hidden and protected from damage, fire and drowning.
    • +60 hull, +6 armor, +3 toughness, -10% speed.
  • Light Legs: +25% speed, higher jumps, 1.5-block step, 20% less coal, -10 hull.
  • Steam Legs: the default legs.
  • Heavy Legs: side pistons and tread feet.
    • +30 hull, +4 armor, -20% speed, 30% more coal.
    • Falls of more than 2.5 blocks become a damaging stomp.
  • The heavy body pushes the arms outward and adds iron supports.

Ammunition, Turrets and Golem

• Ammunition:
  • Cannonball: 4 iron ingots and 1 gunpowder make 8.
  • Incendiary Cannonball: sets targets and the ground on fire.
  • The mech cannon uses cannonballs from the pilot's inventory.
• Steam Turret (block): turns, aims and fires cannonballs at monsters up to 16 blocks away.
  • Loading: load it by hand or with hoppers. A redstone signal turns it off.
  • Friendly fire: it never hits players or Steam Golems.
  • Animations: boiler pistons, gauge needle, handwheel, an ammo drum that turns per shot, muzzle flash, a headlamp that blinks with a target, recoil and steam. With no ammo or with redstone, the barrel drops and the lamp goes dark.
  • Variants: made with the Steam Turret in the middle of a cross of materials.
    • Fire Turret (blaze rods and magma blocks): every shot is incendiary and reloads faster.
    • Explosive Turret (TNT and gunpowder): grenades with a 4.5-block blast (up to 16 damage) and 20-block range. They do not break blocks.
    • Ice Turret (blue ice and ice crystals): freezing shots that slow and weaken the target and those nearby.
• Steam Golem: build a T of 4 Ancient Copper Blocks and place a Steam Boiler as the head.
  • Combat: fights like an iron golem and never attacks players.
  • Steam blast: every 5 seconds it fires a cone of steam (6 damage, knockback, Slowness II).
  • Repair: coal or Ancient Copper ingots.
  • Visuals: new model with a rounded boiler chest, gauges, a diving-helmet head, fingers and knees, plus a new death animation.

Ancient Copper weapons

• Ancient Copper Hawk (rare chest loot): a leather and copper bracer with a mechanical falcon.
  • Attack: right click sends it to claw your target (up to 40 blocks, 10 damage), then it returns. Right click again to call it back.
  • First person: it sits on your arm, looks around and preens.
  • Third person: you hold a falconer pose.
  • Upgrades: the Fire Hawk sets targets on fire and leaves a trail of flames. The Explosive Hawk explodes on impact without breaking blocks or hurting you.
• Steam Rifle and Fire Steam Rifle (3D, animated):
  • Reloading: hold right click to pump, spin the drum and fill it with up to 6 Brass Cartridges.
  • Shots: the normal rifle fires fast 9-damage bullets. The fire version fires a burst of 3 fire bolts.
• Ancient Copper Shield (rework): new animated texture.
  • Blocking: releases a steam blast that pushes harder, scalds the attacker and slows them.

  • Deserts and Badlands

    Dunemaw

    • A giant amphibian (3.4 blocks wide) that lies buried in sand. Only its lure, which looks like a colorful flower, sticks out.
      • Getting close to the flower, or hitting it, makes it burst out with a 14-damage area bite.
      • The flower also lures nearby animals.
    • Combat: 140 health, 6 armor.
      • Bite (12 damage).
      • Tongue grab from 5 to 14 blocks that pulls you to its mouth.
      • Frog leaps whose landing hurts nearby targets.
      • After 10 seconds without a target it burrows again and slowly heals.
    • Spawning: now spawns in deserts and in all badlands biomes. In badlands it has its own texture: banded terracotta skin, red sand and a turquoise and yellow flower. It can also burrow into terracotta.
    • Loot: Dunemaw Hide and a 25% chance of the Dunemaw Lash.
    • Dunemaw Hide Armor:
      • Model: 3D frog hood with a mouth, amber eyes and a swaying lure, a painted vest with frog-head shoulder pads, and frog-foot boots.
      • Full set: Speed II and Jump Boost on sand, half fall damage, and Dunemaws will not ambush you.
    • Dunemaw Lash :
      • Damage: 8.
      • Right click: shoots the tongue up to 12 blocks. It pulls enemies to you, or works as a grappling hook on blocks.

    Dune Temple (new structure)

    • A walled 25x25 sanctuary, about as rare as desert temples. The desert version is sandstone with orange and blue terracotta; the badlands version is red sandstone with white, cyan and yellow terracotta.
    • Architecture: four corner towers with ladders up to rooftop terraces, and a covered gallery inside the walls.
    • Gate: a relief of the Dunemaw's face with glowing froglight eyes.
    • Statue: a Dunemaw head rising from the ground, with its lure and a glowing flower.
    • Sacred pool: lit by sea pickles, with 6 Dunemaw Tadpoles in the color of the biome.
    • Chests: two, with fish, raw rabbit, Dunemaw Hide, gold, emeralds, an enchanted book, a golden apple, froglights and, rarely, the Dunemaw Lash.

    Dunemaw Tadpole and tamed Dunemaw

    • Dunemaw Tadpole: amphibious. It swims and hops on sand.
      • Taming: feed it raw cod, salmon, tropical fish or rabbit (1 in 3 chance per item).
      • Commands: tamed tadpoles follow you and sit when clicked.
      • Growing up: after 20 minutes it becomes an adult tamed Dunemaw in the color of the biome it came from. Each feeding speeds this up by 2 minutes and shows its growth.
    • Tamed Dunemaw:
      • Following: it follows its owner and teleports to them when far behind.
      • Targets: it attacks whoever hurts you, whatever you attack, and nearby monsters (not creepers). It never hurts players or your other pets.
      • Waiting: click it to make it stay. On sand, sandstone or terracotta it burrows and ambushes only monsters. Click again to make it follow.
      • Healing: raw meat heals it.
      • Persistence: it does not despawn on Peaceful, and iron golems leave it alone.

      • The Blossom Vale (new rare biome)

        Biome

        • Size and terrain: a large biome about 500 blocks across. It generates only on temperate continental land and favors open terrain (plains and low hills) so there is flat ground for its ruins.
        • Meadows: about a third of the vale is open meadow with grass, flowers, petals and the occasional lone cherry tree.
        • Groves: large cherry and red or golden maple groves, with a narrow belt of dense bamboo between them. Tree density builds up gradually toward the middle of each grove.

            • Abyssal Rifts: at night, purple rifts can open near players outdoors and release Abyssal Servants. They can be configured.
              • Abyssal Servants no longer show a floating nameplate. They are still called "Abyssal Servant" in death messages, and existing servants lose the nameplate when loaded.

              • Mochiusa Devourer: instantly shrinks back into a purified Mochiusa.
              • Fallen Samurai: its spirit rests in peace and leaves experience and a Whetstone.
            • Tamed Mochiusa: a purified Mochiusa can be tamed with sweet berries (1 in 3 chance).
              • Commands: it follows you and sits when clicked.
              • Mochi: it makes a Sakura Mochi every 5 to 7 minutes. Sweet berries heal it and speed up the next mochi.

            Kamaitachi

            • What it is: a sickle-weasel yokai that always appears in a trio riding the wind.
            • Model: a detailed animated model with a dark face mask, fluffy cheeks, whiskers, a ruff and a glowing wind line on its flanks. It has red wrist cords, polished sickle blades with glowing edges, and a ringed five-part tail.

              • Kamaitachi Salve: a lacquered clam-shell ointment. Applying it heals 6 and removes Bleeding, Poison and Wither.

              • Pale Island

                Shirogami

                  • Death and blinking eyelids.
                • Behavior: skittish. It flees from anyone who is not sneaking or holding Pale Bloom or sweet berries. It rests mostly at night.
                • Taming: sneak up to it while it sleeps (walking upright wakes it) and use Pale Bloom or sweet berries (1 in 3 chance).
                • Tamed: follows you, lies down and gets up on command, and teleports to you when far away. Babies of tamed Shirogami are born tamed.
                • Riding:

                • Shirogami Armor (new item, +10 armor): red lacquer barding with white and gold cords that covers the chest, flanks, neck and head.

                • Balance

                  Late-game armor used to go well past the game's defense cap of 30, so Eclipsium, Níðhöggr and Equinoxium all protected the same. Late-game weapons also killed most things in a few hits. Each material now has its own step, with the Kryzenth sword (11.5 damage) as the baseline.
