This week, we are adding a new higher-tier saddle specifically for use in the Arctic regions, as well as a few smaller fixes to achievements and great hunt content.
We also give a preview of a requested feature that we have added, thanks to feature upvote.
Jump in and have a read.
Notable Improvements:
- Fixed Biomore backpack as it was granting aura to bosses & enemies (not just friendly)
- Lowered survival Stats on Carbonweave backpack (they were very unbalanced)
- Various Achievement Fixes (Cha-Ching!, Easy Tiger, Ring Leader, Damage Resisted By Shield, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Not Lost, Still not Lost, What is this Place, Colossus Collapse, Starstruck)
- Fixed issue with Mission Paths, which were correctly locked out in Great Hunts - allowing all missions to be done and causing issues with the GH mission flow
- Preventing Food / Water / Oxygen consumption from being completely mitigated, the value will always be at least 1
- Giving the Lava Hunter a Large Fall Damage Resistance
- Add missing ColdSteel Spear to valid ammo types for Javelin Launcher
This Week: Arctic Survival Saddle
This week, we have added a new saddle to the Animal Bench. It represents a higher-tier of saddle that is designed specifically for arctic travel.
The ‘Arctic Survival Saddle’ has five base inventory slots, two additional utility item slots and extra cold resistance, making it ideal for quick-moving mounts such as the Moa. This saddle aims to add higher-tier equipment for mounts that help them both in terms of their survival and utility in late-game scenarios. The Arctic Survival saddle requires platinum weave, wool and rope to craft, meaning you must bring down a sheep from orbit to gain access to wool.
Next Week: Armor Stand QoL
Next week, we have a QoL with the armor stand coming, and we're adding a customisation option to prevent backpacks from being swapped when swapping gear on the armor stand.
Your support makes these updates possible.
