This update contains a bunch of optimizations and improvements to mob movement. Along with mobs moving more accurately, these improvements will mostly be noticed in new ways that we can do summoned mobs and how they behave. You can see an example of over 50 summoned baby zombies in the GIF below :D

There are also some item improvements, like being able to right click on and with items to do custom actions. Many items that you "open" is now done this way and you can now focus mobs with summon weapons.

The update doesn't add too much new stuff, but lays a foundation of what's to come and more possibilities like item inventories, new summon gear and more.

This weeks update adds different settlement quest tiers, containing some new unique rewards like more inventory space with your own personal pouch and getting the pawnbroker as a settler. The settlement questing system is supposed to be an optional way to progress through the games content, giving some direction while getting some sweet unique rewards.

I've also refined the mod loading and opened access to it. The capabilities of modding is pretty limited at the moment, but if you want to know more about how to mod the game, you can visit the Discord where there'll be a modding section with some resources.

This update adds difficulty options that can be changed at any point in the game. At the moment it's a pretty simple modifier to damage taken. Ability to lock the difficulty, hardcore and other features is planned later on. Together with this, armor values has been rebalanced and there's now a more clear difference between the different tiers. The damage you actually take from the mobs you're supposed to be fighting hasn't changed very much.

Controls to use armor set and trinket ability has been added. Force of Wind and a new armor set has been added that uses this new feature, and there's more to come! :)
