Good news survivors!
The new update V0.84 is here, fresh on the heels of the 3rd person mode update. I have added some mid to late game gear that can only be crafted with the remains of slain Giants and Demons, or in some very rare cases, looted. Three new Dragon scale armor types, the helm, chest and greaves can be crafted with a little knowledge in chemistry and metalworking. (At chemistry level 2 the new recipes will start showing up.) Two new melee weapons - the Demon Blade, and the Storm Spear, both have special powers that activate on hit. A new firearm - the Laser Carbine and a new vehicle turret, the Laser Barrage Turret can also be crafted. A new item is also available to be crafted, the Harmonic Balancer, which can disperse the apocalypse events and reduce the threat level by one. Destroying Spider queens, Bloodworm queens, Towers, Core hearts, and Horror pits will also stop apocalypse events if there is one in progress,
I noticed that shadows were flickering or disappearing at a certain distance from the last checkpoint, so I've reduced the maximum distance between checkpoints to 21 until I can find a way to properly shift the world origin without causing any issues.
