[Game Update] - 406077

[Jason]

Changes:

• The Strident Trident now deals additional melee damage when attacking on a boat.
• Wobsters can now be stored in the Tin Fishin' Bin
• Changed the loot found in Sunken Chest (note: this will not affect existing Sunken Chests)
• Tuned the Crabking fight.
  • No longer sleeps.
  • Every 3rd Orange Gem will now increase the amount of hits it takes to interrupt his repairing.
  • Blue Gems have more of an effect on his ice attack
  • Some other adjustments.
• Flotsam can be retrieved with the Pinchin’ Winch

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed retrofitting the Crabby Hermit’s island on caves enabled worlds and dedicated servers. The server will now automatically reset after 30 seconds to complete the retrofitting.
• Fixed a save/load bug that was resetting the Crabby Hermit’s tasks to earn friendship. The task for fixing her house will be retrofitted. The task to clear the water will require the player to drop and remove any heavy lifting object. The remaining tasks will be required to be completed again.
• Abigail and other ghosts no longer die while on a sinking boat
• Fixed the Crabby Hermit’s missing face markings.
• Ice Bream is now visible when placed in Scale-0-Matic
• Wobsters no longer voluntarily leave their dens during the day.
• Fixed a bug where the Pinchin' Winch and Shell Beach Turf could still be crafted without obtaining the blueprints first.
• Message in a Bottle no longer displays floating animation when dropped on a boat
• Shell Bell break animation critter stays in place on moving boats
• Fixed the character animation when using the Strident Trident
• Fixed a rare crash when the Gingerbread Varg does its icing attack
• Fixed Boomerang mouse over issues.

Why did it sleep in the first place?

I think they just wanted to appeal to people who like to "exploit" with panflute, but it went to far ig

[Jason]

Yeah, we tried a number of other things to make it less heavy handed, but they ended up changing the rest of him too much, so we just made the crab not sleepable. He's got a big stone soundbuffer on. 

[minespatch]

At least we have some debugged animations that Melen posted so we can see before it was removed.

[Thalkas]

Mr. Jason ... Any chance for getting more impossible to regenerate plant sproutings (like grass, sapling, berry bush and juicy berrry bush)? Which will work as stone fruit sprouting.

flotsam seems exciting

POG Thanks for this. They would get stuck in boats before.

Can't wait for Glermz to hear this :>

[Educated Fish]

Interesting changes can't wait to see how this turns out.

[Charesque]

So the trident is a dark sword equivalent now, except only while on boat. An interesting mechanic, I must admit.

I think it has too little durability to be worth using as a weapon. Only 150 hits, which makes it equivalent to a dark sword and a half. Considering it needs 3 gnarwail horns, I think it's best saved for its special ability.

I'm actually good with this one, i said it on my stream the moment the flute was patched that i wish he would go full underwater and reset so we would use other items that are not used as much and require a bit more hits like the ice staff.

Also seems like range option is back on the menu for me to solo, witch i also don't mind, always loved having an excuse to go ranged over melee and now i have one.

Now about the video that i just made 2 days ago, yeah that hurts

She actually gave me the pearl the moment i put all meat in the racks (since i had done everything before). I still don't have the tab to buy stuff from her lol

This is still an Old world, and retrofitted from before this update.

ps. Tested with a version i had previous to update, still her tab disapears at the 8th quest for reason.

I think broken shells should stack to 40 instead of their current max stack of 10. You get a ton from smashing all the shells from sunken junk. I had 6 stacks of these things by the time I smashed them all.

[MondayNight]

Any chance Toadstool casting Sporebomb on himself bug be fixed in next update? Ty!

As much as I know, Broken Shells do not have any other uses besides decoration, so turning them directly into Shell Beach Turf would allow you to carry 30 broken shells in a single stack.

so you have to deal with luggin lots of shell pieces around until you get the blueprint. might wanna save your empty bottle for something else.

Boys, Girls and other folk, it's time to grab your krampus sack full of ice staves cause it's gonna be a slog. At least solo.
Right now I've seen it's possible to telelocate away the claws, which makes the fight more tolerable, but I'm certain that'll be fixed too.
