Patch Notes

ALPHA 6.0 ||| NEW MAP + MONSTERS + MECHANICS

[p][/p][p]Alpha 6 brings a lot of changes, fixes, new season, and new content![/p][p][/p]

New map… The ARCTIC

  • [p]The Arctic map demands from players like none of the other maps do.[/p]
    • [p] Being the largest map by far, players must be strategic with their time.[/p]
    • [p] Although there is lots of bait, bait will be sparse and you will have to be efficient with using your bait. [/p]
    • [p]A new tool players have to help with bait collection is the arctic fox pet. The arctic fox functions similarly to the cat but it can grab larger bait and runs much faster.[/p]
    • [p]Using minnow traps will also be important for surviving the first week and getting necessary upgrades.[/p]
    • [p]Arctic fish also have higher base point values to help offset the difficulty[/p]
    • [p]The Arctic contains 14 new bait types, 5 new creatures, and 15 new fish[/p]

                Difficulty scaling

                [p]We have received some feedback about some players thinking the fishing is still too hard, while others say its perfect. To make the experience better for both we decided to add small variation based on difficulty[/p]
