Other:

• Reworked the World Info menu to use a tabbed layout instead of having world generation parameters as a separate popup menu. The Create World menu also uses a similar layout.
  
• Added in-game hints to new characters if they haven’t completed basic tasks like crafting a torch within a few minutes of starting the game. The hints are automatically skipped if the player completes them before they are prompted, or if they reach certain milestones like defeating the first boss. They can also be disabled in the Gameplay settings.
  
• Lowered visual rarity of secondary scanners.
  
• Added a fallback “missing” icon when an inventory slot contains an invalid item, for example due to a bug or from uninstalling a mod. Previously, the slot would appear empty but still behave like it contained an item.

• Added a -hashedworldseed flag to allow dedicated servers to set the hashed seed directly instead of using a string seed that is then hashed.

Game Balance: 

• Lowered the price of slime boss scanners.
  
• Slightly increased the loot drop for Nilipedes and Clay Burrowers.
  

Performance: 

• Worlds are now compressed using Brotli instead of Gzip, which is significantly faster. The .gzip file extension is still used to avoid cloud sync issues.
  
• The list of available converter types is now computed when the game boots and reused, instead of being recomputed every time a world is loaded.
  
• The Join Game UI is now more responsive while preparing to establish the connection.
  
• Fixed a rare lag spike caused by the world autosave sometimes being forced to run on the main thread on low performance machines.
  
• Removed several cases where the main thread would wait for worker threads to finish the tile map update.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a frequently reported issue where mobs (most notably cattle) were loaded before non-moving objects, meaning they could escape from enclosures.

• Fixed a bug that caused inconsistent spacing between objects when placing them while moving.

• Fixed several custom scenes which contained invisible Abyss Trees.
  
• The ingredient filter in the Cooking Pot’s cookbook is no longer limited to 40 ingredients.
  
• The clickable area for ingredient filters in the Cooking Pot is now better aligned with the visible part of the icons.

• Pets and minions now correctly target the Hydra's ice crystals.
  
• Dropped items no longer combine with other items being picked up by different players.
  
• Fixed an issue with bouncing projectiles colliding with wall corners, which would cause them to pass through the walls.
  
• Bouncing projectiles now correctly bounce in PVP.
  
• Piercing projectiles now correctly pierce in PVP.
  
• The Hunger bar should no longer be displayed as empty when the Mana bar toggles on.

• Fixed an issue that caused the incorrect text to be shown when the player spoke to the Core during a specific interaction.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Wooden Spike Traps to not show their spikes.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused Stone Fence Gates to incorrectly be placed in certain scenes instead of Wood Fence Gates. This will only affect newly generated scenes.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused watered Grass ground to be shown in the map as a different color than the normal Grass ground.
  
• Fishing is now interrupted when removing or swapping baits in the Off-hand slot.
  
• Previously, removing or swapping the bait at the final moments when fishing could cause the bait to not be consumed or non-bait offhand items to be consumed instead. The result of said action now is that no rewards are provided, and the bait isn't consumed.
  
  • Fixed an issue with Ghorm’s targeting logic that caused it to very often fail at charging towards the player while fighting it.
    
  • All minions should now be able to attack and move on water.
    
  • The attack range calculation for ranged minions and enemies is now similar to how the chasing stop distance and melee attack distance are determined. This means they now consider a combat radius, allowing them to attack from greater distances.
    
  • Minions and pets no longer need to have line of sight to a target in order to chase an enemy that is engaged in combat with a player.
    
  • Strolly Polies and Kelples no longer display walking animation while not moving.
    
  • The sparkle particles highlighting the inventory icon no longer appear while in the pause menu.
    
  • Fixed issues with the physics collisions for Lava Rocks.
