SkyTech Evolution

SkyTech Evolution – 1.0.3 Beta

Resource Orchard Expansion

• Added new Resource Trees for Redstone, Gold, Lapis, Quartz, Zinc, Tin, Osmium, Lead, Silver, Nickel, Aluminum, Uranium, Diamond, Emerald and Platinum.
• Organized all Skyroot Saplings into seven fixed Soil tiers.
• Saplings now grow only on their matching Soil tier, both normally and inside Bonsai Pots.
• All Bonsai Soils now use the same loot-roll count. Higher tiers unlock new trees instead of multiplying every drop.
• Removed the redundant Flint Tree from active progression. Flint is now obtained through the Gravel Tree.

Progression Improvements

• Copper and Iron are now unlocked through their Resource Trees before their Traces and Ingots.
• Removed generic early Copper and Iron shortcuts.
• Fixed the conflicting Sand and Iron Trace recipe.
• Corrected the Clay Tree recipes to use Rootbound Soil.
• Cleaned up duplicate Orchard Core and Sapling recipes.

Questbook and Guidance

• Added the new Resource Orchard Expansion chapter.
• Improved the layouts of Resource Orchard, Living Resources and Storage and Logistics.
• Added clearer Soil tier descriptions and Orchard progression guidance.
• Updated quest dependencies to match the new tree-first metal progression.

Performance and Stability

• Reduced the workload of Skyroot growth and Leaf Decay scans.
• Preserved Twerk, Sprint, Bone Meal, Crook, Leaf Decay and Bonsai functionality.
• Improved dedicated-server compatibility.
• Fixed the Crafting Station client/server connection issue.

Playthrough Testing

• Added an active-playtime timer with milestone tracking.
• The timer pauses with the ESC menu in singleplayer.
• Added JSON export for easier progression and balance analysis.

A new world is strongly recommended.

This version remains a Beta while the complete survival progression and balance test is still ongoing.
