Due to issues with enemy AI and respawning, the game turned out a bit more brutal than intended. We're proud of everyone who could withstand the onslaught of elite boars and wolves, but here are the fixes:

March 29 #1

• Fixed a bug that caused enemies to respawn inside the player base.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused enemies to attack structures built by players while they were away.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused Sharp Stakes to have no collision.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed enemies to open Gates.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused Campfires and Cauldrons to consume the whole stack but produce only 1 food.
  
• Reduced enemy baseline aggro range and sight angle.
  
• Map markers can now be removed with a right click.
  

March 29 #2

• Fixed a bug that caused items to disappear from an upgraded Stash upon loading a world.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused enemies not to return to their spawn after killing the player.
  

March 30

• Fixed a bug that caused certain items to render a glitched line across the screen.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused players to become stuck in Incinerate cast until out of mana.
  

March 31

• Enemies now stop chasing the player if no damage is dealt or taken for a while.
  
• Common items can now be disenchanted (mainly for disposal, but with a small chance to yield Mana Dust).
  
• Stash now has 200% max stack capacity by default and can be further increased with the new Packing Table upgrade.
