Heat

In this update we bring you a complete revision of heat damage. This has been a popular feedback topic from the very beginning and we believe to have found a good solution making heat damage both believable and avoidable.

There is now a heat meter above your stats. Whenever you enter an area that would be harmful, the heat meter warns you audio-visually. Once the heat reaches the maximum, you will begin to take real damage. Before that you might take 1% or less damage.
Usually there is an area at the core of heat sources which is very damaging and an area around the fire causing less damage. The same applies to lava streams. You will be able to avoid the dangerous areas better now.

Furthermore, we added more resources (Ferron and Thuranon) to craft powerups in the starting area and fixed a rare bug that could cause you to fall through the ground upon loading a savegame. This could happen when you were near a lava stream before loading the savegame.
