Necessity Pack v4.1

First, the new HUD will now display when there’s a flash event going on without needing to open an app. Whenever a flash event is happening, your HUD will display a lightning bolt over the Krafties logo. Hopefully this change makes your lives a little easier!

Now, onto the main events! (Please note that these next features are currently in ALPHA, so players may experience a few minor bugs)

CharacterPlayerProfileBlogPicKrafties characters! In your player profile, you’ll now see your player contact card. Currently this consists of your username and a “selfie” of your Krafties character. What is this character business, you ask? Click the square on the left hand side of your card and you’ll see! This opens up the character creation tools, where you can create a representation of yourself out of a myriad of different body part/accessory styles and colors. We suggest using either the “Random Male” or “Random Female” option until you get something close to what you’re wanting, then customizing from there!

And now, the second spectacular addition: Krafties friends! In the home app you’ll notice a brand new section. Clicking the Friends button will open up a window where you are able to send out friendship invitations, check to see if you’ve received any invitations, view a list of your current friends (where you can view their characters, their profiles, send them private messages, or remove them), and see a list of all your friends’ recent activities in Krafties! Your friends list will also show up when you go to transfer Bondeds, Unbondeds, Souls or Items from your HUD, so you can quickly choose someone from your friends list instead of typing their full name.

We’re extremely excited about these new additions because they represent a huge step for Krafties as a game. Expect to see lots more things to do with both your characters and your friends in the near future!

As a final note, today is the last day to purchase the limited edition Easter Fooflie available on the main sim so get them while they’re here!

Thank you all for supporting Krafties. Have fun!

Necessity Pack v4.05

There is a new HUD update available, which brings some very nice changes/additions. Krafties Necessity Pack v4.05 is available on the main sim, and will be auto delivered to players who wear an older version of the HUD. The new pack includes the v4.05 HUD update.

What new goodies does this update include? The main changes are: the removal of the icons on the HUD (which have been replaced with a single “Open App” button), the addition of “Single Window Mode”, a “Reset” button built into the HUD, and an “Official Products” section in the Shopping App. Let’s give a rundown of each of these new features.

The cartoony picture icons are gone from the HUD! Now when you want to open an app, simply click the “Open App” button, then in the resulting screen you’ll be able to choose exactly which app you’d like to load. Also keep in mind that from those apps you can directly switch to a new app using the “Change App” feature in the bottom-left corner of the window.

Along with the simplified app opening, we’ve also simplified the window interaction on the HUD. Now the HUD defaults to “Single Window” mode when it’s worn. This mode means that only one app window can be opened at a time, but after the first app is loaded, all other apps should load MUCH faster. We’re talking a VERY LOT faster! This should also simplify things for new players. However, we know some of you veterans like to have a bunch of things going on at once (not to mention you shop traders!), and so for you guys we’ve added a new button in the main menu. Click the Krafties logo on the HUD to access the menu, then click “Multi Window” to make the HUD behave in the old style, where multiple app windows will open on the screen at once. Please note that when “Multi Window” mode is enabled you will not get the benefit of the speedy loading times. And if something does go wrong, the new “Reset” feature in the main menu should help things!

ShoppingAppOfficialProductsBlogImageLast but not least, we have the “Official Products” section in the Shopping App. Here players can purchase Krafties Official items such as Energy, Memberships, Nets, Temples, Rocks, and more to come! This new feature allows players to get their goodies without having to make the long journey over to Krafties Island.

Hope you all enjoy the new changes, have fun!

Necessity Pack v4.045

Two new additions to the world of Krafties are here, Invitation Boxes, to replace Stone Rexies, and the new Market system!

Krafties Invitation Boxes can be placed anywhere, and they’ll invite new players to Krafties in lieu of you inviting them personally. All a potential player has to do is click the box! And don’t worry, you still get the invitation reward as if you invited them yourself. The inviter boxes slowly rotate, and have the included image plastered to the sides. These boxes will also give out copies of themselves, so anyone can grab a set. To get one, simply click a Krafties Invitation Box (like the one in the entrance of the shop on the main sim) and select “Get Inviter” from the drop-down menu. 

That brings us to our newest feature, the Krafties Market App! There’s a HUD update inside a new Necessity Pack (v4.045) available on the main sim, or you can have the new pack auto delivered to you by wearing an older version of the HUD. Located on the new HUD you’ll see this icon:

MarketIcon

Clicking the icon opens the Krafties Market App, where you can search through bonded creatures, unbonded creatures, souls, and items that have been put up for sale by other players! The app allows you to search for specific species, elements, elemental affinities, or items and filter them by how recently they’ve been added or their prices. Not only does this new method allow you to easily find exactly what you’re looking for, but it allows you to view all of the relevant details of a product by simply clicking on it. If you like what you see, teleport to the package and buy it in-world!

To place items in the Market App, new bonded, unbonded, soul, and item packages are available on the main sim (v4.045). In order to use this new market feature you must be using one of the newer packages to package your goods, but older packages will still function if you don’t want to take advantage of the app. For your goods to show in the Market App, the package must be set for sale in the app itself, and the “Show In Krafties Market App” checkbox must be ticked. 

Along with the marketplace checkbox, the new packages come with a few powerful new features. You can modify the prices and the “Show in Krafties Market Search” setting after packaging, along with the ability to price items at fractions of an L$ per unit! These changes should make things MUCH simpler for both buyers and sellers alike!

We hope you all enjoy these additions, and look forward to many more surprises and features coming up in the near future. As always, have fun!

Necessity Pack v4.04

Along with this addition there is a new HUD available, v4.04. You can find it on the main sim or it will be auto delivered to you when wearing an outdated version of the HUD. This update fixes stack heap errors that some players may have been experiencing.
