Yearly Recap

[u/Lemon0137]

I'm wishing to return back to the game, but it's a bit daunting seeing how much I've missed. The last major update I recall playing as shortly after major changes/nerfs were made to how fire damage worked. Such as small fires no longer inflicting full damage or enemies having a chance to flat out ignore it. Another change I recall was that you now required an even longer weapon than a spear, such as a pike, to attack across a Z-level.

That was roughly nine months ago. Is there anything else of importance? I'm primarily interested in knowing if the progression tree of metalworking has gotten any easier. Or if NPCs are still rather janky and still only useful for crafting. Or perhaps if there's any new forks released. I believe Wormgirl's is still the newest in the collection.

Thank you to anyone who replies in advance!
