Hello everyone!
Update time again!
Here are the features for today:
Metal Revamp:
All metal weapons now last considerably longer than before, making them ideal for crafting lasting tools as an investment.
Flint weapons on the other side, are now sharper than the available metals, but break much easier.
It will take better metals to make them obsolete. :)
We have also given a pass to the effects sharpness has on combat, giving sharpness more weight when it comes to determining whether you managed to wound your target.
Lake:
We've added a new lake area with multiple locations, including a lake island and a marsh.
We have also added a new fish (the char), ducks and cattails (a new type of reed that is also edible).
We haven't only added good things though. We've also introduced mosquitoes. These can be a pest in some areas, specially during summer, and can increase infection risk and get you swamp fever, a weaker, nordic variant of malaria (also known as ague).
Custom Recipes:
Plates, bowls, flatbread and bread slices now let you save your favourite recipes. You can give them a name, pick an image for them and autofill them easily when you want to have them.
We will make some additional improvements for these in the feature, so they can feature better art and even custom art too.
