Patch 1.054 is now available in the Testing Branch
Hi Everyone,
We are happy to announce that Patch 1.054 is now available to try in the testing branch! If you would like to have access to this new content you simply need to opt in. There is a link at the bottom of this announcement that explains how.
Now onto what's inside patch 1.054!
New Game Content
Updated Thorn Forests
The Thorn Forests are some of the most dangerous areas in the game world. These tile maps are home to dense swarms of thorny tentacle monsters that can choke escape routes, giant bees that can transform enemies into weird honey mutants, thorn infected machete wielding psychopaths, and other weird plant based stuff that wants you dead.
The Thorn Pen saplings, deployed by Blooming Thornbulls, will now grow over time eventually becoming Thornbull pens, giant plant monsters that spawn HUGE swarms of tentacle monsters and Thorn Lords.
Updated Thorn Lord minion spawning
Thorn Lords can spawn up to 5 thornbutts simultaneously. Thornbutts are small thorny masses that will move towards their prey before suddenly ramming into them doing damage with a 25% chance to poison. When defeated thornbutts now darken indicating that they can no longer move.
Bear Caves
Various biomes now have a chance to spawn a Bear cave. These small caves will spawn a few bears at the entrance during a certain time of the day and can also be freely entered to gather large amounts of honey from the stashes that the bears inside protect. These caves will also provide a way to farm the upcoming Bear Suit armor.
Increased Standard Cave Activity
Increased overall mob activity in the standard caves making them much more unpredictable to explore.
Updated Colossal Boar Border
The tile maps that surround the Colossal Boar Spawn have now been updated with a new enemy and more activity overall. Big game hunters with powerful rifles will hunt and fight with Boars and Boarman Snipers now appear in greater numbers with a higher fire rate and more health.
New Enemy: Brutal Boarman
The Brutal Boarman patrols the border tile maps of the Colossal Boar. Like the Brutal Punk, Brutal Boarmen wander around rallying nearby boarmen, as well as un-aggroed boars into a roving gang looking for a fight. They wield massive Stone Boar Clubs and their attack can smash a green eyed Friendly Boarman into the dirt killing them instantly.
New Weapons
Stone Boar Club
Farm the Boarman Totems in the Colossal Boar Border to gather the materials needed to craft this powerful new Stone Club. The Stone Boar Club does 10 Attack Damage with a 75% critical hit chance. It also has a 100% chance to transform a normal hostile Boarman into a friendly Green Eyed Boarman on Death.
Stunning Pine Fishing Net
Mod a standard Pine Fishing net with a "Fish Stunner" that you can find for sale in a Fishing Shop. This mod gives the Pine Fishing Net a high chance to stun a Sabertooth Bubbler.
Miscellaneous Game Tweaks
Added Totem Planting Agents to spawn from Boarman Houses
Updated Fishing Shops
Fishing shops now have live in NPC's that will open the shop in the morning and lock the door at night while they sleep
Fishing Shop Keepers can no longer be attacked by the player
(Note: There is still a bug that may prevent a shop owner from returning to their shop if they are killed. We are working to address that)
Adjusted loot drops for punk builders
Adjusted the drop rate of Goblin Scrap from all goblins
Added frog spawns to fishing hole tile maps
Big Fish Hunter no longer has a chance to deploy Boar Bombs during flee
Broken Stone swords can now be repaired
User Interface adjustments
Changed the Configure Clone AI button to say "Set AI" rather than just "AI"
User Reported Bugs
Fixed Bug: Selling pearl necklace causes crash to certain shops ?
Fixed Bug: Selling Twine to the Inn crashes the game
Fixed Bug: Bread Description displaying as Bread Item Name during Gameplay
Fixed Bug: Infinite cash exploit with buying and selling items obtained from inn room wardrobes.
