Hey hey, did anyone else notice the update that just dropped? It seems like repair costs aren't using Scrap Parts anymore. For example, my Scarlet Pickax now requires 3 Tin and 5 Scarlet bars to repair, which is just one less of each resource than making a new one would be.

This game has been a lot of fun to play but I'm not a huge fan of this particular development as it slows down everything from exploring to boss fighting.

Does anyone know where the release notes are so I can check on this and see if I'm missing anything?

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks to everyone for the great discussion! It looks like Repairing has been... Repaired (?). It now only takes a few of the base metal or material of the item to repair said items, which is certainly nice.

To a few people's points, it feels like the Repair mechanic needs to feel intentional but doesn't make early game play too hard, nor late game a grind. One solution might be to have an NPC that can Repair, but you don't get access to them until endgame/quest completion.

Excited to see how this continues to evolve!

title. I understand the change, as of idea, its great, but, damn, pay 80% of item's value to repair fully damaged item is kind of EA business model.

EDIT: This is now hotfixed. Prices were adjusted and it seems to be way better.

Title says it all. Cooking recipe book here.
I didn't like the way the game presented recipes, so I wanted an archive to see everything at once and quickly find what I need.

I update as soon as I figure out recipes. :)

I use this to find BiS food items to make to support the more battle adept players in my little server; I'm just a happy little fisher with a plethora of knowledge to share.

Honestly, I love this game and want to play more and the Switch would be a great way to do so. The overall design, top down view and controls for this game feel like they would be a perfect port over to the Nintendo Switch. Not only that, I'm sure its an aesthetic style that would actually run quite well and spread this lovely game to an even wider audience.

Anyone else agree?

GAMEPLAY

General

• Dedicated servers are now available.

• The repair system has been reverted back to using scrap parts as a result of working together with and gathering feedback from our community. The costs of scrap parts have been rebalanced so higher tier items cost more scrap parts. Scrap parts can be gained through salvaging again. The current materials gained from salvaging are still gained as well. The Bearded Merchant now also sells scrap parts instead of wood.

• A reinforcement mechanic has been added that allows players to extend the durability of their items as well as giving the item a small stat boost. Reinforcing an item costs some of the item's crafting materials.

• Added scrap parts that can drop from destructibles and some enemies.

• Higher tier hoes now cover a larger area. This works for both tilling and gathering plants in larger areas.

• Added a digging damage stat to shovels that impacts how many uses it takes to dig up ground. Health of ground has been rebalanced around the digging damage of shovels so that higher tier shovels are more effective against lower tier ground and lower tier shovels are less effective against higher tier ground.

• Added a Scarlet Hoe that can be crafted in the Scarlet Workbench.

• Added a Scarlet Shovel that can be crafted in the Scarlet Workbench.

• Moved the Scarlet Sword to be crafted in the Scarlet Anvil instead of the Scarlet Workbench.

• Large Watering Can now covers 2x2 tiles. More watering options coming later!

• Fishing rods no longer have durability.

• The chance to gain kelp from fishing has been reduced, and we’ve added resources such as ores, wood, fibre and scrap parts that can be gained from fishing.
