This could be huge for adding variety to the CK fight, I can’t wait to test this out later. If we can add one of each gem to a pearled CK fight it means we can fight pearled CK with just one ability at level 2. So massive incentive for getting a hold of a variety of gems before fighting. This is a fantastic change!

Edit: Been experimenting with the fight and it appears that using a pearl plus one of each gem, plus two of any other gem, you can get a pearled CK fight that only bumps one gem ability to lvl 2. This makes for a slew of viable gem combinations that can be adjusted based on available gear and number of players.

+2 blue - doable but a tad slower and more annoying since healing phase is shorter and ice wall is tougher to break
+2 green - doable and probably the most universal option for now
+2 orange - doable but because of healing the fight will last considerably longer without the aid of either multiple players or anim cancelling. Weather pains are not super consistent.
+2 purple - doable, and for the time being doesn't change the sleep resistance breakpoints for crab guards (though this will change soon). Two toots for guards and three for knight
+2 yellow - doable, will just cost more boards due to a few extra towers
+2 red - doable with either multiple grass boats or plenty of boards

[Pep61]

I come once again as a (broken record, lol sorry) to request being able to purchase the sawhorse blueprint with pearl!!

Now the Vine bridge shakes before breaking.

The new indicators for Winona wormholes are really cool

Very cool stuff.
However are there still no vine bridges/tentacle wormhole working in caves or is this unchangeable?

This is good! Thank you! One thing I've encountered very recently with the structure placement spacing update though is an issue with boat bumpers. Boat objects (like anchors) and other structures (like fire pits recently) have to be rather annoyingly far from the edge of the boat in order to place boat bumpers on after the fact. Can you please fix this with the next update?

Thank you!!

The size of the bridge is still so small, making it sometimes useful in such specific points where sometimes your map doesn't even have such points, in addition to not being able to be done diagonally, for me it has very limited potential

Crab King still needs repairs

1 pearl + 1 purple gem should be level 1 then? then it shoule take 1 time  panflute to hypnotize crab guards right? but during my test it still take 2 times of panflute

We're working on tentacle wormholes now.  I have no definite answer on Vine Bridges yet, since we would have to deal with void walking in the caves.

That gitch has been there before the crabking rework. Starting the fight like that makes him heal random though sooo not really viable.

Indeed. Their health is based on 5 now but I forgot the sleep resistance. I'll fix it.

[JazzyGames]

Looks like pearl + 1 purple still make crab guards require two pan flute uses. Adding more than one orange gem to a pearled CK fight means one player will not be enough to cancel all heals with melee attack. Lvl 1 red gem ability has the effect of hole-poking projectiles, even though one red + pearl will not poke holes.

Is it intended for sleep resistance to be this strong with just pearl + 1 purple?

EDIT: Jason beat me to it.

Fixed the whip wakeup as well.

I think it would also be interesting to keep warm if you are cold because it is wet in spring. Maybe "winter mode" button on the controller.

ooooooooooooh....

[Cyrefy]

Or something like activating, just like when we activate the catalpute by hand.

Klei is awesome! No other thing to say other than a perfect change.

Waiting for that ^^

But also make sure that growing obelisks don't push players out of the border when your sanity changes.

[Cruvimaster]

The difficulty is in getting green gems, of course.

Gonna be a bit off topic from this quote, but if you do patch out void walking, would it be possible to create permanent "bridges" around the caves? One of the big reasons people use void walking is to walk to and from small gaps in the caves, which are really stringy. It would help as well for basing as well, would love if you could do things like that around the caves (perhaps with a blacklist of biomes like the aitrium to avoid causing issues with things like the gateway arena).

I thought people use void walking to get to the aitrum faster
