[Game Update] - 613428

[V2C]

Changes

• Adjusted Exotic Trees growth time. It’ll now grow from sapling to tree in less than a season - in regular season lengths.
• Exotic Trees now drop a Surprising Seed with the same type and quality of the tree.
• Night Lights will no longer be observed while on boats.
• Merm King will no longer be an active target to attack when the Merm King has no summoned guards.
• “Increased” Surprising Seed’s drop chance from Sunken Chests. It now starts at 10% at day one and slowly increases up to 60% at day 150 (previously 200).
• Marotter Den Boats can now travel safely in the Waterlogged Biome.
• Winona’s Hotlight skill will now heat more.
• Added a maximum queue size for the remote control catapult commands so that they are more responsive to your most recent commands when spamming.
• G.E.M.erators powered by Enlightened Shard will now automatically regenerate, but will become overloaded if drained too quickly.  (Regeneration speed is affected by Greater Generator skills.)
• Added range checks for Worm Hole map actions to filter out invalid spots.

Not in the base game but mods using nightlightmanager component will no longer get ready access to them when they exist on boats.

But that was so much fun  Does the Crown give Wurt any other buff to compensate?

[Valase]

I remember 5 ancient trees/seeds being mentioned in the dev stream, are they all still in this beta schedule or did the rest get chopped for a future beta?

[GreenBowers]

Has there been any consideration about allowing Tree Jam to affect the growth of the new Exotic Trees as a potential gameplay feature in the future?

i know this was a bug, but is there any way this can be polished and added as a feature? it was really fun and i think with the proper implementation (making her forcefully dodge like the merms) it could be balanced

Pfftt... ahahha. This is funny.

Side note, this is the lowest priority thing ever right now, but the mention of the Ancient trees reminded me that I was hoping to see if the Ancient statues could get re-exported with HD textures, they've been like this for so long.

And Skitter Squids, too! Gnarwails and most other ocean things were made HD in this beta, seems they've been forgotten!

Heck yeah!! Marotter boats are one of the coolest things y'all have added since RoT ended, the way you can use them as less-permanent riskier boats is awesome and I'm glad you can hit up a waterlogged biome now without a ticking timer.

Isn't Wurt a Merm Guard? We understand that it was a bug, but it was a very cool reward for the quest. Maybe it's really worth leaving it by adding a bounce animation?

[V2C]

Hey guys, we're aware that using the Generator (not G.E.M.erator) with Catapults currently crashes in this build.  We'll have that patched as soon as we can.

The control feels much more smoother now, thank you!

Please tell me, do you have any plans to change the appearance of the shadow merms?

[Radicaljoe]

Very nice, I hope the Morning Star can be recharged at a Winona Generator, it seems like an item that could be recharged. It even has a little switch, so it HAS to have wires in it.

Are they not supposed to be able to activate them?
