Hey Foragers!
It's finally time! The Combat Update is upon us!
This update has been the most ambitious undertaking we have tackled ever since the game released! The goal was to add more challenging encounters, to ease out the power curve and to improve the gameplay length.
Remember, I want to keep working on this game for years to come so let me know what would you like to see in the future!

- New Biome/Dungeon: The Void.
