[h1]New Structures:
[/h1]-Arrow Stand - Players can mix and match arrow materials once they've harvested feathers! Arrow feathers determine arrow fligth pattern, arrow shafts determine speed and damage, and arrowheads determine special on-hit effects like armor-breaking, explosions, or poison serum application
-Combinificator - Players now have an early-midgame XP sink! Put together a combinificator and fuse together accessories in order to spend XP.
-Feeding trough - An automatable station for feeding fronkeys, unhoused birdabugs, and slugs!
-Faucet - When supplied with liquids with either item pipes or buckets, deposits the liquids back into the world.
[h1]
Birdabug Domestication![/h1]
We also have the first in a set of animal husbandry improvements, with Birdabug keeping!
-Pidgeybug box - provides basic feathers and turnip seeds
First, you'll need to break open a wild pidgeybug nest to obtain Pidgeybug Down Featherrs - then create a birdbox and deposit wild pidgeybugs inside. Once you've set that up, the pidgeybugs will lay eggs, which can be transfered between planets. If you plant turnips around the box, the birdabugs will also forage for seeds and leave feathers behind in their box.
-Bumblebird box - provides Bumblebird feathers and honey
Bumblebirds function similarly to pidgeybugs, but require Space Goldenrod nearby. They'll also get aggressive when you destroy their nest!
[h1]New items:
[/h1]-Silicon armor can be crafted using silicon. Grants an Orb shield after taking damage.
-Silkstring bow now has a rare chance to drop from forest spiders.
-Animal feed can be crafted from wheat and beeble meat. It cannot be eaten by players, but is economical in feeding animals
-New accessories attached to various bosses and creatures (no spoilers!)
-Items associated with birdabugs - nests, comb, honey, feathers!
