not a bad adjustment for a first patch, but it's still not quite there. fights are still too much cost for too little return.
things were starting to feel about right for a starting point with all stats at 12, but fighting a single wolf still cost more than it paid out - if i were to be trying to keep hunger and thirst above the minimum.
unfortunately, i'm stuck in another death loop. the boss biome showed up and cleared off any other selection at ~day 22. if the partial payout of 6 gold is anything to go by, i'm nowhere near being able to take one one of the turtle monsters.
this effectively ends the game.
