To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.21.x in dropdown.
This update adds a new type of melee weapon that is mostly focused on late-game where effects from it will resemble magic weapons. The few added this update is just the beginning.
The update also includes a new crash reporter, which will hopefully help me catch the last remaining crashes people are experiences with the ease of sending a report. Hopefully, you'll never actually see this feature ;)
I've also added the ability to set your settlement names. This is a beginning to making settlements more advanced, interesting and a much bigger part of the game. I've already started implementing this, but it's taking some time and will come in smaller updates like this one.
Homing projectiles are now much more reliable than before, same goes for weapons like swords and spears. This will especially be noticed when playing multiplayer.
Lastly, there are a bunch of tweaks to balance, some fixes and a few quality of life changes.
