This week’s patch adds two new regional quests. One for the Dandelion Highland regions, and one for the Broken Plain regions. Both quests come with their own new and improved bells and whistles attached.
Again, this patch will only be available on the beta branch. The reason is that we'll need to get enough of these regional quests done before it all really starts to make sense. That probably requires about 7 of them. Currently we only have made 3.
Gameplay Changes
- Adds a new quest associated with the Dandelion Highlands.
- New quest item: the dandelion highland map.
- Dandelion seeds can be used to avoid hazards in the dandelion highlands.
- Updates the map presentation of Dandelion Highlands.
- Adds a new quest associated with the Broken Plains.
- Updates the cliff fortune.
- Climbing gear no longer has uses.
- To avoid cliff fortunes you need to have climbing gear and rope.
- New quest item: the Staff of the Surveyor
- Ropes are now stackable items.
- Spider silk ropes are now stackable items without bulk.
- When you use a rope or spider silk rope to climb down a cliff, well, or vent. The game should be aware of the ropes nature (spider silk or normal).
- Sentient trees have a visual presence on the map.
- Research test no longer make you lose hope, instead there is an increased chance of failure.
- You are no longer automatically exposed after 3 attacks.
- Refactors the way travel fortunes are selected. This makes the system more reliable and consistent, but it will take some more time to improve it further.
Bug Fixes
- Marang puzzle boxes only stack when they are identical and in an identical state.
- You can no longer use the start journey option when viewing the map to cheat your way past the entrance gate to the first valley.
