Building-
Blocks no longer upgrade or downgrade into other types of blocks. Wood only upgrades to wood not to Scrap Iron.
All Player building blocks (but Log Cabin Wood) are upgraded from Frames (Cobblestone Frames, Brick Frames, Cement Forms)
Building block recipes are no longer locked behind levels or required perks. To learn to build the Frames and Upgrade Material for a building set simple craft the required Tool and destroy world blocks of that style to retrieve building supplies to re build that style of block. Only the required tool will result in the retrieval of the needed materials and only by using these supplies to rebuild a block will you gain xp in the needed skill to unlock the crafting recipes so you do not have to scavenge for supplies anymore.
Food-
Introducing Food Spoiling in world loot! The longer a plyer plays a map the less fresh and unspoiled food they will find and the more spoiled, moldy foods they will find.
All basic uncooked foods can be broken down (scraped) into serving (Fruit, Grain, Protein, Veggie). These serving s can be combined to make more nutritious foods.
New Workstation - The Food Prep Table –Used to break down food serving more efficiently, store them and cook them into nutritious meals.
New Stat- Nutrition- When you combine food groups you get nutrition (1 Severing Type + A Different Severing Type = 1 Nutrition) When the player starts and learns their profession their Nutrition stat is set to the highest level “Healthy Diet”. There are 3 good stages to Nutrition. Good Diet; Balanced Diet; Healthy Diet.
At “Good Diet” you will start to gain wellness and health effects from foods.
At “Balanced Diet” you will begin to heal faster from injuries like broken or sprained leg, dysentery and other injuries.
At Healthy Diet when you are full you will receive a slow heal over time. It takes 7 game days for the full Nutrition buff to fade completely.
New Stat- Bad Nutrition- The longer it has been since you had “Good Diet” the more your Malnourished Stat will start to stack up. It also has 3 stages Bad Diet; Vitamin Deficiency; Malnourished. Once all good Nutrition buffs fall off you will no longer receive wellness or health from food or drink.
At “Bad Diet” you will get hungry faster and lose stamina.
At “Vitamin Deficiency” you will take longer to heal from injuries; get hungry faster; lose stamina and move slower.
At “Malnourished” you will take longer to heal from injuries; get hungry faster; lose stamina; move slower and slowly start to lose wellness.
Workstations-
All work station beside smelters(forge; Blast Furnace; Food Prep) require the player to stay inside them for them to run. Most Workstation recipes are 5 seconds now, with perks they can be 1 second.
Completely new Skill / XP System-
ALL quality items have their own crafting skill and crafting a quality item only gives XP toward its own crafting skill. So crafting Stoneaxes only gives XP for improving Stoneaxes.
Dead is Dead-
There is no Minimum Wellness anymore.
IF YOUR CHARACTER WELLNESS FALLS BELOW 1 YOU CAN NOT RESPAWN.
(and the room goes quiet)
