Patch Notes

SHIPWRECK - BALANCING CHANGES

You can now hold a maximum of 10 lifebuoys and 20 shark spears. This is so you cannot hoard a huge number of lifebuoys and then just camp a single sandbank.
Increase the number of points that fish are worth at higher milestones. This is to make collecting fish at higher milestones worthwhile.
Decrease the number of milestone 3 and milestone 4 spawns in the midship once the bow opens. This is to encourage higher milestone players to move to the bow and stern.
Add some milestone 1 and milestone 2 spawns to the stern. This is to reduce how much you have to wait for things to respawn when you are collecting points in the stern.
Scopes now only find hidden opportunities on the sandbank they are facing. This is to make the decision to use scopes feel more meaningful and less of a gamble. We are going to make some further adjustments to scopes in the next update to make them more rewarding.
Sharks now spawn in more gradually as a new area opens up. This is so they don't eat everything on a sandbank before you can get there.

SHIPWRECK - BUG FIXES

Fix the screen fading back in before you are transferred to the recovery bed after dying in the bow or stern.
The tutorial checklist now counts points including bonuses.
A resumed tutorial now restores how many repair bonuses are left to collect.
Fish found with a scope swim around again.
Update scope descriptions to say 'of tier' instead of 'up to tier' to reflect an earlier change.
Add some missing information to the descriptions of higher tier spear guns.

SHIPWRECK - OTHER CHANGES

When playing Shipwreck, a player's current Shipwreck points are shown above their head instead of their total level.
Reduce the cargo points required in the tutorial so milestone 1 players can complete that step without leaving the sandbank.
The maximum number of Shipwreck items you can hold is now shown in the bottom display.

LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS

OTHER BALANCING CHANGES

Shark jaws, suckers, ectoplasm and mushroom spores have been reduced in value, as they were worth too much.

OTHER BUG FIXES

Fix a bug where the Halloween wooden stake could be dropped by a combat foe. All the Halloween wooden stakes have been converted to common items.
