Patch v0.7.0 - Cooking, Crystals, Safe areas, and a new Town

Features

• Town layout updated to emphasize player housing as the primary hub.

• New Danger Level system implemented with three tiers to ease players into permadeath mechanics. Your risk status is indicated by the helmet icon near the minimap: Safe Zones (no death penalty), Risky Zones (inventory and backpack lost on death), and Permadeath Zones (complete character loss).

• Introduced a food system providing instant recovery for health, mana, and other stats. Ingredients are now dropped by mobs and can be prepared at the cooking house station.

• Potions have been pivoted to duration-based status buffs and the crafting process has been streamlined by removing the requirement for potion bases.

• Stat-boosting crystals now feature specific caps: Shards reach level 10, Crystals reach level 17, and Purified Crystals reach level 25. All crystal types are now stackable in your inventory.

• Due to new stat limits, using crystals early will prevent natural stat gains during level-ups; leveling will no longer increase stats beyond a value of 5.

• The maximum potential for every individual stat has been increased by 5.

• Characters now have a total base stat limit of 100, which is visible on the character interface.

• Added craftable "Solvents" which act as reverse potions to lower specific stats, providing a way to respec your character.

• The Stone Anvil is now the entry-level workstation for manufacturing early-game wood and coconut equipment.

Fixes

• Resolved a client-side glitch that caused large healing increments to display incorrectly.

• Periodic damage effects (DOTs) now have a floor of 5 damage per tick.

• Flooring can now be placed directly under housing structures without dismantling them, and the reach for placing objects has been extended.
