New Loot/Ammo System
Players love mining for loot. But it's not very satisfying when you fill up Adamant and Flamestone and then have to wonder whether that shiny rock over there is something you need or not.
Now there's no question, YOU ALWAYS NEED IT! On v.37 the Adamant and Flamestone blocks give you permanent boosts to your Earth/Fire mana-bar capacity. And the mana bars themselves recharge slowly, ensuring that you'll need to mix-up your spells if you want to consistently deal high damage. Essentially, what was before just an ammo pickup, has now become a major upgrade for your Gnome wizard!
This has the added benefit that now all three of your mana bars behave the same. You need materials to boost their total capacities, and they recharge automatically (thought at different rates).
Food Passive Effects
(spoiler alert)
Food now has passive effects while you're digesting it. Munch on a rare Puffed Bean before climbing a Spirit Tree; it makes you lite as a feather... no fall damage. Or eat a Rye Grass before going into battle to boost your Earth mana regeneration.
Some of the food acts as on-demand health packs now. The rare and highly sought after Bloodcap mushrooms will health you completely, so don't waste them!
There's lots of other food effects. See the change list below, or even better, discover them for yourself :)
Hide at Night on Your Ship
We heard from players that felt a bit stranded and bored waiting in the safety of the ship while the Ghasts were out. So you can now "Hide" in your ship. Find the latch on the floor to safely skip to morning!
This also means, if you find yourself on an island, being chased by Ghasts, you can now run back to the safety of your ship and wait for sunrise.
