April 2022 Playtest Update New item and Energy rework!

Hello babies, daddies and plastic bags

The April update has been released!

The April Update has just been released 🎉 including a new item and a energy rework. Now you can finally end your days with your head comfortably in your favorite plastic bag.

Read the full Patch notes here:

• New Item: Plastic Bag - Don’t let babies play with plastic bags!

Energy Rework:
Our goal with this update is to make Energy feel more like a “resource”. Players will want to take advantage of energy giving items like soda, fruit and water to allow for maximum energy usage.

• Energy is now used slower when running & jumping, but also recharges slower
• 10 energy loss for feeding a healthy item and 30 energy loss for feeding an unhealthy item (the logic here is that it take a lot less energy to feed a baby some fruit, than to feed a baby a handheld vacuum)
• Health no longer affects energy recharge rate
• 10 energy lost for stealing an item from baby (they have a stronger grip than you think)
• Energy recharge at same rate whether walking/standing (so if not running)

Seeding & Tree Daddy

• Seedling Shout energy cost reduced from 40 to 20
• Daddy Tree Form energy cost reduced to 50 (from 75)
• Daddy Tree Form now rapidly recharges energy and heals the daddy

Soda

• Now restores 100 energy on consumption

Sugar Rush (Rewarded from drinking Soda)

• On activation, Sugar Rush will remove a Sugar Crash
• The player now receives 10x times energy regen when on a sugar rush
• If there are multiple sugar rush buffs, The Sugar crash buff is not given until the last one expires
• Players can now walk in sugar rush, to take advantage of the energy regen

Sugar Crash (Consequence for consuming sugar)

• Debuff now lasts 30 seconds (previously 10)
• The player loses 50% of their current energy

Hydrated Buff (Rewarded from drinking a water bottle)

• Now removes sugar crash debuff
• Now lasts 60 seconds(previously 30).
• Doubles stamina recharge rate per buff. (Previously cut stamina usage by 50% per buff)
