Finally finished year one! Been busy with school stuff. This game is so amazing!
Quick questions--- are obsidian tools supposed to be weaker than copper? How often do 'greater' creatures spawn? And is it alright to use older version saves with the new update?
Apologies for the rapid-fire questions >.<. May everyone have a great day!
I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
Obsidian tools are weaker than bronze, but they never expire (so it's kind of a tradeoff). Obsidian is also much more common than copper (once you have a pick strong enough to mine it), so that's part of the reason it's weaker.
Greater creatures have a 5% chance to spawn in no-star biomes (which is all that exists in the demo), but there's a guaranteed one of each type in arenas.
Old saves will be compatible with future versions. Areas you've explored won't re-generate, so any changes to those areas won't transfer over to old saves (for example, the goxen arena wont spawn in saves from before I added it), but the majority of the world will spawn around the demo area, so you won't miss out on much.
I'm hoping not to add too many changes to the demo area, instead adding more to the inaccessible areas around the demo so that it's not a big deal if you import an old save - but if you want everything like the Goxen Arena (it's like the cattern and afowl ones), you can restart.
Generations and having kids will not be available in the demo, as it requires meeting the goddess of fertility.
