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.

This weeks update expands on the new settlement quests, adding unique objectives and rewards. There's still no "progression" in the quests and the rewards you get is randomly based on a loot table. The progression will be introduced once there's more rewards in higher tiers and the system is more complete in general.
Other than that, there's a few smaller changes, like island travel distance will now increase when riding boats.

Hope you have a great easter holiday and stay safe in these crazy times!

This update contains a new questing system. It's current usage is very bare bone, but that will be expanded on the next few weeks with ways to get unique items and progress your settlement. The aim of this system is to provide an optional way to get some unique items and settlers.
A bunch of changes were required for this new system to work. In general, all of the games systems were not very well connected, and this update improves that. This will also help a lot when features like modding picks up focus.

Other than that, it includes bunch of other changes and fixes that will improve performance and reduce future bugs.

Thank you guys for the patience with this update, and stay safe!

This update includes reworked Evil's Protector fight, a bunch of improvements and fixes to netcode, as well as a few other changes and additions.

The netcode optimizations are almost at the place I want it to be. If you play through the game now compared to before, you'll see much fewer cases of confusion about getting hit and not hitting enemies. This did have some compromises, specifically anti-cheat, which is why it's mostly under a new server setting, that allows the client to have much more control over stuff that directly impacts itself.

See the full changelog below.
