Era 5 was released 11/24/2023 9:57 PM (MDT)
Changelog:
Completely reworked Feeder. Feeder now generates food every 15 seconds, stores up to 10 food in the feeder, and earns you 15 XP for feeding others.
This is separate from your creature food and can be given to other players on contact. When the feeder is empty, it will turn black.
Buffed Parasite speed from -1 to -0.5
Buffed Lipid appetite from 0.25 to 0.
Nerfed Shooter cooldown from 2 to 3.
Spike and Jaws now deal 1 damage every second rather than every 0.5 seconds. We made this change for three reasons: One, to give more relevance for health and regeneration creatures that rely less on armor and shells. Two, to give more reaction time for all players in combat. And three, setting up for future parts and abilities that do more burst damage like defensive porcupines, poisons, maces, and so on.
Spike and Jaw parry time reduced to 1 second instead of 1.5. (Parry means when your spikes hit armor, your cooldown is longer so you can get counter attacked) (Nerfing armored parts)
Chances are some changes could be fine-tuned or reversed. All part of the grand experiment.
Oh and nerfing Mender XP gain from 10 to 8
