We've been developing, and here's what's new.
New Implementations
-----------------------
- Added the ability to ride "Primitive Sled"s. Pull it to the top of a high hill, and bomb's away!
- Added "Primitive Backpack Extension", a simple piece of equipment carried in the "Shoulders" slot which adds 1 extra slot, scaling as normal with quality.
- Added "Twist Bread", simple flour/bread recipe made by a fire.
- Added "Moundwood Bough", a wood bough picked from "Mound Tree"s. Came up here.
Key Fixes
-----------------------
- Inventory extending items are no longer automatically unequipped, when auto switching gear, if unequipping them would cause you to become "Overloaded".
- Re-enabled the fix we attempted last time, allowing you to put curiosities on "Study Desk"s belonging to other, offline, characters.
- (Updated) Client now indicates focused windows by highlighting their title text.
- Action cursors (Lift, Fish, Plant, &c) and placement modes can now be closed/canceled using 'Esc'.
Small Fixes
-----------------------
- Fixed a bug by which some wound treatments would show their quality percentage, rather than the number of wound points they can heal.
- Effect played when disappearing in thicket is now the effect played when kicking up leaves, rather than the logout effect, to hopefully alleviate confusion.
- Added stacking to: "Whale Barnacles" (they now also go in "Creel"), "Common Starfish", "Seahorse", "Crab Claw", and "Uncrushed Husk".
- Moved "Meat Stuffing" recipe to "Sausage Making".
- Reduced study time of "Wildflower" to 1/4, and gave it a mild buff in LP/h.
- Reduced the FEP/Hunger ratio of "Boiled Mussels".
