Changes and balancing 6

• Fishing is now a skill that improves stamina use and pull speed, and there are 9 new fish types plus craftable baits for each biome.
• Fish can be picked up, mounted on item stands or turned into raw fish at the cooking station, they come in different sizes that give more raw fish, and they follow the waves, jump out of the water, flop on land and appear in ice caves.
• Terrain generation changed to put more Mistlands on the map.
• Knockback mechanics were reworked, the stamina cost multiplier for running uphill was removed, stamina level is now saved on logout, and the building GUI was reorganised.
• Console commands got better error messages and new options for nocost, god, ghost, location and spawn; new commands are recall, aggravate and restartparty, and killall is replaced by killenemies and killtamed.
• Many animations and visual effects were updated, and the Jack-o-turnip seasonal item is disabled.

Fixes 7

• Rugs no longer flicker when placed on top of each other.
• Map icons can no longer be deleted or crossed while hidden.
• Holstering while dodging no longer locks the weapon in its holstered state.
• Durability should now always display correctly.
• Biome music now plays correctly when continuous music is disabled.
• Deadspeak is fixed for Bonemass, Moder and Yagluth.
• Correct key hints are now shown when fishing.

Other 4

• This is a Public Test build that may be unstable, and more patches for bugs and balance are likely before it reaches the Live version.
• Backing up your save files before playing is advised.
• Mistlands only generate in unexplored areas, so a well-explored world may require a new world to reach them.
• Mods will most likely prevent the game from launching, so remove them or wait for updates.
