Summary
Survival Loop Overhaul
This experimental update introduces significant changes to the water production cycle. The Dew Collector now functions as a station that requires jars as "fuel" to generate water, moving away from its previous passive generation model. To balance this, the requirement for a crucible to craft jars has been removed, making them accessible much earlier in the game.
Combat and Progression
Players will face increased difficulty in late-game areas with the addition of tougher zombie spawns in the snow and wasteland biomes. Additionally, the XP system for zombies has been rebalanced to better reflect the difficulty of the encounter based on the zombie's type, health, and damage output.
