New Features (also found in README)

Support for Version 1.0 (b317+)

Yup, 1.0 is finally supported - just keep in mind that 1.0 is still an Experimental Release so this mod is subject to change, setbacks, surprises, and delays before an update for 1.0 Stable becomes available.

Repairable Locks (new to v4)

If someone busts your lock, you can replace the lock simply by repairing it. This will go through the upgrade flow and should appear relatively seamless.

Or if you break the lock on someone else's Robotic Inbox (such as a friend no longer logs in), breaking the lock and repairing it will allow you to take ownership of the Inbox and adjust its password, lock state, etc.

⚠️ Robotic Inboxes with broken locks will not be able to distribute items again until they're repaired.

Multiple Colors (new to v4)

Configuration Options (new to v4)

You now have a slew of options you can use to fine-tune the experience for yourself and any other players who happen to join your game!

• 📝 Settings like horizontal-range and vertical-range will actually update the block description for your players as well, so things remain clear and accurate. Changes made during runtime will even auto-update the block description for all online players, too!
• 💾 Except for debug, these settings are retained in a file on the host system:
  • Windows: %AppData%\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves\MapName\GameName\robotic-inbox.json
  • Linux: ~/.local/.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/MapName/GameName/robotic-inbox.json

Support for P2P and Single Player

Yes, it finally happened! With this update, Robotic Inbox now supports all 3 play styles: Dedicated only, P2P (host only), and Single-Player.

See the README for more information about how to set this up.
