Rheksetor Survival Update 1
Harvest all the berries!

Sprinting costs energy (pink bar)

Maximum HP (red bar) is also limited by current sustenance level (max hp starts dropping down when sustenance is below 50%)
Functionality for temperate (orange bar) will be added in a future update
Rebuilt terrain generation system to include portions of land and water (this will factor in to how the segmented structure/zone building system is going to work)
Stay tuned for future updates!

Rebuilt resource harvesting mechanics to feel more reliable / impactful
World objects now drop multiple types of resources, broken down as follows:
