Shyla Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 New Explorable Environments Note for the test: The new areas are still in active development. We encourage players to build in these areas for feedback and testing purposes, but please keep in mind that the terrain and objects in these areas might shift or move before the official 0.11 release. Please do not expect any new bases to work completely when moving over to a non-test build. Thank you! The Crab Sandbox Dig up buried treasure and find ways to survive the sweltering heat of the Sandbox, or wait until night and venture forth in the dark. Either way, you'll have to discover new ways to survive while avoiding your new antlion friends! The Black Ant Hill Introducing a new sprawling anthill in the western yard full of black ants and other secrets. This dungeon allows players to uncover new craftable weapons and armor, and includes a new mini-boss within its depths. The Trash Heap Too precious to throw away, but not precious enough for the Trash Heap! Here, players will be able to uncover some of the trash left in the backyard. From food items in the knocked-over trash can to the AARTZ 3000, it'll be interesting to see what the players designate as treasure of their own. The Picnic Table Something's abuzz over at the Picnic Table! Joining the beehive, players will now find trash from yesterday's lunch, along with the latest and greatest in tabletop RPGs, Minotaurs and Myrmidons vol. II! Although the players will be too tiny to play, they can have fun exploring some of the components.

They have unique attacks that fit the infected-creature them Creatures here will drop fungal growths as loot in addition to the normal loot 5 New Additional Bugs Black Worker Ants Just as busy and cute as their red ant cousins on the other side of the yard Black Soldier Ants Not as cute as the Black Worker Ants, but just as busy trying to keep you out Sickly Roly Polys Maybe all that time near the trash cans isn't such a good thing for these little guys Antlions There is only one thing in the yard that they hate more than ants, and that's YOU Meaty Gnats What's better than gnats?
