Oooh yeaaaaaah, that's the good stuff.

I am hooked on these awesome improvements you guys keep putting out. Won't be long before I'm out on the street looking for a quick fix.

I hope this change doesn't make the wetness damage too weak again.

I do admit the previous wetness damage was a bit much. It just needed to be reduced down a little.

Thanks for this! 

It seems the regen is about 5hp every few seconds, and - according to a comment in tuning - is enough for Merms to fully heal within 2 days!

your dopamine delivery xD

Probably super late for such suggestion but

Wurt could gain some sanity for releasing a fish back into water based on how long she had it in inventory. Kinda feels weird she doesn't feel guilty for letting it die or putting it into a chest or just leaving on the ground and letting it die there.

I don't even like playing her but this patch obviously made me think a bit about her. This idea popped in when I were thinking about mechanics that exist and don't make much difference and I wanted to share.

5 HP every 8ish seconds. Out as well as in combat it seems!

5.2 hp per 8-9 seconds. 

So her merms regen about 312 hp per day.

It's loss overtime. I imagined losing a pet as massive burst of sadness, not just "drop it on the ground as fast as possible and be completely fine".

tested it and its amazing, thank you.

aww, are we really not getting adverse sanity effects for Maxwell from Chorusbox and quadruple charging speed when wearing the Milkmade hat?

How much damage does water do to WX now? And how many seconds?

I can totally understand why they wouldn't add the chorusbox thing, i think it isn't the kind of cooperative play that the devs are looking for, even if it would be pretty funny.

Though, I'm not sure where the milkmade hat thing is coming from..? Volt goat milk doesn't increase charge either, and WX doesn't say anything about either of them to make me think that they would be especially benefitting from the item. (they just think it's absolutely disgusting.)

it does, one charge per milk unit

To be fair a funny compromise they could do is have maxwell play his insanity animation when he's in range of it with no actual negative effects.

oh, sorry, my mistake. Then it makes enough sense.

You might have missed it in the passing patches but eating Volt Goat Milk and Volt Goat Chaud-Froit grants WX one charge. So it's only natural that continuously drinking volt goat milks on a hat speeds up the charging speed. I also think Charged Volt Goat hits should charge WX if he's not wearing insulation.

That's brilliant, they should do that if we can't have actual sanity loss.

You can also make the hat with eyeball goop, so that's where things get a bit tricksy.

You folks really, really, really delivered on fixing up Wurt. Thank you so very much for all the hard work you guys do, means a lot! 

[skile]

merms having regeneration was the last one from my Wurt wish list :>

i won't be playing any other character in the nearest future for sure.
