• Made it so that Lava no longer reduces your movement kosmogliphs

• Dash now boosts you 25% less when at 25% or less hp. Hard damage counts towards max hp, so if you have 10 max hp thanks to hard damage, you’d need to have 2.5 hp or less to count.

• Jump now recharges when in fluids
• Vein mine no longer gains durability when it shouldn’t
• Hammer and vein mine no longer effect blocks outside the world boarder

Notes:

This patch I wanted to focus on making fights more interesting. PvP fights had a tendency to continue on and on, with one player backing out to eat and heal every 5 seconds. Im aiming to reduce the effectiveness of this strategy by making it harder to run, more rewarding to fight, and giving more ways to attack escaping players.

The increase in airborne speed is to just make moving feel more fun, that's it. Speed = fun :3

Railgun and snipe have been changed for a more PvP oriented design, rewarding good aim with high armour-piercing damage. To make this more interesting then a 1-click-delete half hp button once per fight, the hard damage mechanic has been introduced. This should make it a risky, but highly rewarding play.

Hard damage changes have been made to make it a more interesting mechanic overall.

Beams of light have been hard to use, or outright worthless. Changes to them are here to try and make them more usable.

Major update this week with a lot of changes, hope you enjoy. As per usual, balance changes will continue to happen every monday. If you feel something is too strong, or too weak, please contact me on discord in the #astral-arsenal channel on the Team Voided discord server. Additionally please report bugs to the Github repository.

BugFixes:

Railguns, beams of light, explosions caused by kosmogliphs

General

• Fixed an issue where leaving a server would cause a crash.
• Removed unnecessary prints that should no longer show in logs

Snipe, flamethrower

Notes:

The railgun changes are because simply they were too strong. Basic railgun and snipe both penetrate armour, so they have been given double the cooldowns while the others, aside from flamethrower, got a 50% increase.

Railguns now affecting cannonballs and mortars is to encourage more interesting gameplay and comboing certain weapons.

Recipe changes are to address the issues put forward by ender of kosmogliphs being too cheap. If you have a problem with this, then blame ender.

Balance changes will continue to happen every monday. If you feel something is too strong, or too weak, please contact me on discord in the #astral-arsenal channel on the Team Voided discord server. Additionally please report bugs to the Github repository.

Thank you for playing
