The Graveyard Ruins Update is LIVE

As chosen by the Update Poll, the Graveyard Ruins Update is up! Featuring many new spooky additions to the game, including making POIs an official location generated when a world is created, like road signs previously were. Plus many fixes and improvements to scary stuff like Skeletons, Zombies, Vampires, Corpses, Statues, Funerals, Imperial Measurement Units, and more! So get World-Regenerating and go find these Ruins and Graveyards, and discover their secrets, if you dare!

Changelog

• New POIs (Points of Interest, like the road Signs):

  • Graveyards! Rows of tombstones for the fallen, these very graverobbable unmarked locations would be perfect for a pit stop, if only...

  • Ruins! Abandoned, destroyed dungeons, or cities? They still harbor treasure, even in their ruined state, but also danger!

• New Monuments:

  • Tombstones! Built with 4 stones, these grave markers can be carved with epitaphs!

  • Low Cobblestone Walls! Built with 8 stones, these low barriers might not stop any taller monster, but they are sturdy, cheap, and beautiful!

  • The Goddess Statue! Praise her glory and heed its warning!

• New Bed/Shrine: The Goddess Shrine! Pray at it for an hour to buff all your attributes by 1 for the day!

• New Item Container: Coffins! Cheap, but can hold less Items and are less durable than Chests... And occupies a much more awkward space, but the cool factor pays off! Build with only 3 wood planks!

• New ????: Monster ???????

• New Lorebook by daedric: What has become of the Far North?

• NPCs now actively burn bodies outside as a funeral rite (burying them is traditional, but too expensive, and dangerous, nowadays)

• Villages can now have a little shrine dedicated to the Goddess

• Vampire Dungeons now have a unique entrance variant, no torches at all, and coffins in place of normal chests

• Added two new difficulties, for flavor and experimentation: Realistic (10% Damage), which is Realistic but with 10% of the damage on both sides, and King's Field (Slow and Hard), which is Extreme, but with 25% slower actions and higher stamina cost

• Characters no longer target you when their target in combat despawns or is transformed

• Delivery Quests can now be completed by delivering the Item even to unconscious or transformed NPCs

• Humanoid kicks are now a box from the floor to your head, meaning you can now kick enemies, items and whatever else above and below you, since kicks can't be angled up or down

• Increased the cost to build Cabinets by 1 wood plank, making it the same as Chests except with no metal ingot material requirement

• Kicking excessively solid objects now causes you to trip instead of abruptly ending the kick or triggering a weapon bounce-back

• Placing buildings now has a ground-level helper marker to assist with placing correctly on the floor

• The Encyclopedias now detail what magical Effects you'll learn when reading them

• The Map Menu now uses Imperial measurement units if so configured in the Options Menu
