Update: Co-op, Fishing Guild, and Sea Treasure
This update adds the ability to cooperatively adventure with your friends, new content to discover, and a number of bug fixes.
[h2]Co-op[/h2]
Co-op allows you to experience the same content and gameplay as single player, but with friends. You can freely switch between solo and co-op on any save file, and all progress carries over seamlessly between the two.
To host a co-op session, select the Multiplayer option from the main menu or the in-game pause menu, and invite your Steam friends to join. It is recommend that players be at a similar level, as world difficulty scales to the party leader.
Player-vs-player combat is not currently supported. We may add the option to damage other players in the future, but the focus of the game-play will remain cooperative even if we do so.
If you encounter any bugs in either co-op or single-player, please use the in-game bug report tool in the escape menu to let us know.
[h2]Fishing Guild Outpost Island[/h2]
A new type of outpost island has been added, featuring a Fishing Guild. Completing quests here will let you rise through the guild ranks and earn unique rewards.
[h2]Sea Treasure[/h2]
Treasure chests at sea can now occasionally be spotted from a distance by their glow. To retrieve them, you’ll need a Treasure Grabber—a small ship-mounted crane with a hook. Treasure Grabbers can be purchased from select merchants and used to pull these treasures from the ocean.
[h2]Seasonal Merchants[/h2]
Seasonal merchants now appear at certain times of the year, offering limited-time items. To keep track of seasons, you can purchase a Lunar Calendar from a Stargazer NPC.
