Major Update "Cursebreaker" Released

Over the last year, our so-called “minor” updates have been anything but small, so we thought we might try something a bit different this time around; instead, focusing on a special seasonal theme in the form of a major release. just in time for the big spooky day! Speaking of spookiness, have a peek at our teaser for this special update: [dynamiclink href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_buexXeNOvQ"] Some stand-out features this time around include:

New Trick or Treat Curse Mechanic: You are cursed! While awake at night, there’s a chance for random events to occur. The higher your curse level, the more frequent and potentially dangerous these events become.

Added Jack-o’-Lanterns: A new spooky, curse-warding light source.

Tree Update: Trees now include a new “Seeding” growth stage, and the “Bare” status is part of the tree’s life cycle, which now cycles back from “Bare” to “Budding”. Leaves from most trees now decay into “dried leaves”, which can appear under trees when reaching their “Bare” stage.

Temperature Overhaul: Added a temperature indicator that appears only when it’s cold enough to freeze or hot enough to overheat. The temperature and insulation system has been overhauled to go along with this. Values are simply added together instead of being weighted per piece of equipment.

Sticky Situation: Spiders can now spin cobwebs. Moving through them will cause you to lose a turn.

New Recipes: Two new baking recipes have been added for use with a new set of pans. There are a few other new goodies as well.

Check out the full changelog below:

• Added clay, glass, and metal baking pans.

• Added two new baking recipes to be used with pans.

Improvements

• The effective radius is now displayed when mousing over a scarecrow doodad.

• The Temperature Insulation system has been simplified. Insulation is now entirely flat numbers summed together, rather than weighted averages and percentages.

• Items dropped on campfires (or open fire sources) will now automatically be "stoked" in the fire, instead of a new fire being created "on top" of
