This BETA update focuses on loot and quest reward improvements, crafting performance, progression consistency, HUD refinement, and several smaller fixes across the pack.

Crafting, Progression & Performance

• Fixed an experience duplication exploit.
• Changed the Salvaging Table recipe to use Stone tools instead of Iron tools.
• Changed the Smoker crafting requirement from Agriculture to Smithing to match the rest of its progression.

  • Crafting performance will continue to be monitored in case further changes are needed.
• Removed Visual Workbench as part of the same Crafting Table performance investigation.
• Added Trowel.
  • Allows blocks from the player's inventory to be placed randomly for easier textured building.

Loot, Quests & World
