[p][/p][p]Alpha 6 brings a lot of changes, fixes, new season, and new content![/p][p][/p]

• [p]The Arctic map demands from players like none of the other maps do.[/p]
  • [p] Being the largest map by far, players must be strategic with their time.[/p]
  • [p] Although there is lots of bait, bait will be sparse and you will have to be efficient with using your bait. [/p]
  • [p]A new tool players have to help with bait collection is the arctic fox pet. The arctic fox functions similarly to the cat but it can grab larger bait and runs much faster.[/p]
  • [p]Using minnow traps will also be important for surviving the first week and getting necessary upgrades.[/p]
  • [p]Arctic fish also have higher base point values to help offset the difficulty[/p]
• [p]The Arctic contains 14 new bait types, 5 new creatures, and 15 new fish[/p]
