Necesse News

To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.20.x in dropdown.
It's recommended to back up your saves when playing on experimental version. Especially when loading a save using a newer version. You can do so in game on the load menu.

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.

See the full changelog below.

This update adds the ability to get more trinket slots and changes demon heart to give 200 max HP. Both of these changes affect balance quite a bit, so there will probably be additional balance changes in next weeks update. A bunch of new trinkets and some upgrades has also been added.
There's also the addition of smart mining, a mode that will mine in the direction of your mouse and can be toggled on and off. You can see an example of this in the GIF below.
To get the new items found in deep snow cave chests, you will have to find a new cave to explore.
Other than that there's a bunch of other changes and fixes.

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! :)

This update brings more life into the caves with new critters and a new mini boss. Matching the new mini boss there's a complete armor set and a few new weapons. It spawns like mobs in regular caves, but is more rare.
With that, you can now track quests and there's a new settlement quest reward that's going to help you dodge more in the intense situations.

Big thanks to Ghost for providing the textures for the new boss.
