2017-07-19 Food and Templates

I went on a bit of a marathon today that started with the food pages and didn't end until I'd updated nearly every template in the wiki. ~CptTwinkie

New Templates
Created from scratch to fill the needs of the food articles and anywhere else they will work.
Template:No Image Template:Crafting Ingredient
Renamed and repurposed templates
The Template:Consumable Food didn't really meet the needs of the food. The two tool templates had to be reworked for the new tool system. It really is simpler than before and only requires one template.
Template:Stat Effects Template:Tool
Templates with Added Categories
This started with a desire to cut down on the number of categories on each article and ended with adding parser functions to hide/show things conditionally. All template variables that default to information missing will now add Catagory:Missing_information tags when they have no data entered. Again, this cuts down on the number of category tags on articles.
Template:No Image Template:Block Template:Casting
Template:Casting/From Template:Casting/To Template:Consumable Fuel
Template:Crafting Block Template:Crafting Blueprint Template:Crafting Ingredient
Template:Crafting Schematic Template:Inventory Template:Inventory Item
Template:Resource Template:Stat Effects Template:Tool
Pages Updated
Finally, we get to the content. I went through the food using the new templates and managed to fill the stubs.
 Bandage  Cabbage  Goulash
 Herbs  Meat  Mushroom Soup
 Mushrooms  Pumpkin  Roast Meat
 Roots  Roots with Shrooms  Salad
 Shroom Steak

2017-07-11 Fuel Category Added

A quiet change in the game in 0.5 is that nearly every wooden inventory item can be used as fuel. I've created Category:Fuel and marked all of the items currently defined as fuel. ~CptTwinkie

Twenty today. The full set of roofs! ~CptTwinkie

"I'm trying to get pages created for all of the basic or simple blocks since they're basically a copy/paste template with a few changes here and there. I'll try to post the articles I complete. Surely they can all use some description at the top."

2017-06-29 - Maintenance

We did a cleanup of user accounts this morning. If your account had no activity history it was likely deleted. Greater than 90% of the accounts created were bots and spammers. I'll be looking into increasing the capcha security for account creation in the near future. ~CptTwinkie

2017-06-27 - Basic Blocks Added (Part 3)

Seventeen today. I'll be busy for a few days but I'll try to get started on the roofs after that. ~CptTwinkie

2017-05-27 - Mod Metadata Guide

We're hard at work on documentation for 0.5. We should have some big updates coming soon but we wanted to release something now since we were receiving a lot of questions about it.
The metadata.mod file is created when you upload a mod in 0.5. It can be edited to set min/max version numbers. We've received a lot of questions about it from people who want to update their mods
to mark them compatible with 0.5 but haven't uploaded yet. So we've posted the Mod Metadata guide explaining how the file works. Keep an eye out for detailed 0.5 modding
guides coming soon. ~CptTwinkie

2017-05-11 - Updated Guides

Some of our existing official guides have been updated to reflect changes in 0.5.1. Check out the list below and watch for some new guides coming soon™ ~CptTwinkie

2017-03-16
