Crafting Queue | Phone Updates | QoL Improvements | New Store Items

Hi everyone! Today's smaller update brings with it a nice handful of changes and quality of life updates accross the gamemode. No preamble this time, let's get straight into the changes.

New Crafting Menu
We have reworked the crafting menu to be much easier to use, including the introduction of a crafting queue. You will be able to add single items to the queue up to a craft time of 3 minutes. This is to make crafting small items such as stimpacks less tedious. Crafting a single item that takes longer than 3 minutes will add the components to the queue.

You can also now sort by "Ready to craft", showing only the items you can currently craft at your skill/genetics levels and with the materials you currently have on you.

Camera App
The phone is getting a pretty major addition today, with the introduction of a camera app! Featuring a both a main and selfie camera, with zoom and a photo library, you can finally capture your favourite perp memories to the little thing in your pocket. In the future we also plan on letting you upload these photos to Tooter! (Images are saved to Garrys Mod/garrysmod/data/camera)

Other Phone Changes
Alongside the introduction of the camera app, we have also made changes accross the phone and its apps:

Tooter
Tooter has been updated to make it a better social platform for the server. The first page now shows all recent tweets made on the server regardless of who you are following. (Don't worry you can still check up on the people you follow by switching views).

UI Updates
UI accross the phone has seen quite a few changes as well, with some apps recieving minor color adjustments, and others getting full overhauls. The notable changes are:
  • Updated the color scheme accross the phone
  • Adjusted some fonts in the messaging app
  • Updated the Emergency app UI
  • Reworked the Banking app UI
  • Reworked the Weather app UI
  • Reworked the Calculator app UI
  • Reworked the Notes app UI

Home Screen
As well as the above changes, we have also reworked the app order on the home screen. This might take some getting used to, but apps are now in more logical places and are grouped together with similar apps. We have also given a few apps some new icons.

New Store Items
We have added some new items to the Vanity Store, being the ability to buy Tooter Checkmarks AND the much anticipated Planter Skins. As well as this, a new storage chest skin has been added.

Planter Changes
You may have noticed you can only buy skins for the basic planter. That is because we are retiring the Advanced Planter. This is to facilitate future plans we have for planters and ways to make growing more interesting. We don't have any more to share at this time, but it is something to look forward to. Your old advanced planters will remain in storage and will be placeable as props, but will no longer function. The new Planter (replacing the Basic Planter) also has a new look. All Basic Planters will become the new Planters automatically.

Amazing update I can now craft stims without gaining carpel tunnel! The rest of the update content is goated too!
 
In regards to advanced planters being removed, does that mean the yield for basic ones will stay the same ?
 
BIG W. The camera app is going to get so many uses. Can we maybe expect a video recording mode with the camera anytime? That would create a ton of good memories and content for sure. Although I'm sure its a tough process to add, not to mention a lot of space probably. Maybe add space to phones, more for premium players/purchases with tokens? Just spit balling ideas haha. All in all good additions regardless.

No plans for videos, but you will be able to upload your photos directly to Tooter.
