RoK Update (Alpha #5)

RoK Update (Alpha #5)

The new update has been released. Unfortunately, saves are being wiped with this update. The update focuses mainly on performance and optimization. The team is hard at work on these issues, and will be focusing on them primarily over the next couple weeks.

Edit: Unfortunately we just realized that community servers will need to wipe their save with last nights update (Alpha #5), as there seems to be a bug with chests not opening.

Design Changes:

- Animals now drop more leather
- Flax respawn rate doubled
- Wood, Log, and Cobblestone blocks now more expensive.
- Players will now take starvation damage and regenerate health less frequently, but at the same overall speed.
- Log blocks have increased hitpoints (4000)
- Sticks have reduced hitpoints (750)
- Can craft stone sword without work bench
- Banner flax costs have been reduced

Fixes:

- Optimization and stability fixes for shrubbery and blocks
- Trebuchet and Ballista optimization changes (fixed slowdown on maps containing many of these)
- Networking improvements
- Audio priority modifications
- Ropes harder to accidentally release someone, should be more stable
