[Game Update] - 702737

Update Information:

Hey everyone, a new beta has just been released!

As we are nearing Winter's Feast this year, we'd like to beta test some of the gameplay changes and additions related to Pearl that we've decided to release at the same time as Winter's Feast in a few weeks.

Instructions for accessing the beta branch can be found here.  As always, things may be changed or retuned, and we'll be looking forward to your feedback during beta.

Additions

• Added several new structures that can be crafted for Pearl after meeting certain conditions, including a Tea Shop, Hot Spring, Large Drying Rack, Light Post, and Combriner.
• Added several new items that require Salt Crystals to be crafted at the Combriner.
• Added a new upgrade tier for Pearl’s Place after meeting certain conditions, with customizable slots for Wind Charm decorations.
• Added Fishy Jerky and Small Fishy Jerky.
• Petals and other similar leaf type materials can be dried on any Drying Rack.

Changes

• Pearl’s Drying rack converted to work through the container UI.
• You can now soak in the Hot Springs found on the Lunar island.
• Adjusted gestalt possession chance when a bird dies during the Lunar Rift cycle.
