This update brings UI reworks, balance tweaks from your feedback, new gameplay options, and squashes some important multiplayer bugs!
UI Improvements
We're bringing you a more streamlined UI style that should be cleaner to look at while still putting the items and their attributes at the forefront.
Item durability is now shown on the slot behind the icon instead of in front of it.
Ambrosia's insured slots now get a blue background glow instead of a spark.
And you can now easily compare items by hovering one item over another.
New Gameplay Options
You can now lock your minimap to always face north for a more static view.
Prefer finer control over your stealth? You can now disable auto-crouching in bushes.
Gameplay Changes and Balance
Reviving an NPC or another player now costs 50% less. This should be a little boon for co-op partners who revive each other rather than self-revive.
Stamina should be a little more forgiving overall, especially when harvesting with an axe or pickaxe.
The glider's been reworked to feel smoother and more fun. You'll now only ragdoll on closing it if you're out of stamina.
To help explore some of the most frigid regions without swapping to cold-weather gear, we've introduced a new warmth potion in some of the potion shops. This is the first of many new potions, spells, and item attributes we're working on!
Multiplayer Fixes and Optimizations
Thanks to your reports, we've fixed issues that should prevent:
Spiking network lag
End-of-day screen crashes and freezes
Client freezes away from the host player
and more!
We are still working on ironing out some physics issues, but the multiplayer experience should be significantly smoother today.
If you have any other issues, please reach out via the in-game report menu in Settings -> Help, the Steam forums, or our Discord, and we will investigate and get it fixed!
