Fragment of Orbis: The Stormlands

Changelog: Thunderstorm Cliffs Version 1.0.0

That's right, the full release of Thunderstorm Cliffs is finally here! This isn't the last major content update, but the mod is finally comporable in content scope to my original vision. 

World Generation

• Added two new biomes: the deep, near-oceanic River Gorge, and the swampy Thunderstorm Floodplains. 
  • Constant wind and rain has erroded deep gorges into the landscape where the water collects, reaching depth and deadliness akin to a freshwater sea.
    • The River Gorge contains sunken watchtowers and the new Shipwreck encounter type, along with deep sea fish, coral, and seaweed. 
  • Not all of the Stormlands is made of towering, rocky cliffs. Low-lying floodplains are marshy at the best of times, half-covered in water from the constant rains.
    • Floodplains currently contain the same rough distribution of content as Cliffs, but will have their individual identiy established further in the future.

Content and Exploration

• Added four new Tier 2 encounters: two types of Shipwreck, which spawn in the River Gorge, and two types of Ruins, which spawn in the Thunderstorm Cliffs and Floodplains.
• To encourage more exploration, encounters now spawn farther apart and you can remain in the shard for up to 20 minutes.

Gear and Crafting

• Gliders are now craftable using 4 heavy leather, 5 of any feather, 3 cobalt ingots, and 20 cindercloth scraps. Gliders can no longer be found in prefab encounters.
• Added the "any feathers" resource category.
• To aid players exploring shipwrecks in the Gorge, diving gear can now be located in all encounter types, with higher chances of spawning in higher level encounters. Equiping diving gear extends the time which you can remain underwater.

Bux Fixes and Improvements

• Adamantite gear now generates less commonly and mithril gear more commonly in higher level encounters.
• Thunderstorm Cliffs is now designed to run in the latest pre-release to get around issues with NPCs not spawning in prefabs in the main release. It should still work on your main release servers, besides from the aforementioned spawning issues. After Update 5, Thunderstorm Cliffs updates will once again be designed for the main release.

Coming Soon

• New crafting recipes for mithril weapons.
• More powerful wolves will drop Storm Hide.
• Dungeons and villages.
• And much more!
