Saltwater Sam

Additional Updates

• Correction to a previous patch note - the Leviathans will destroy bocks around players rather than just blocks placed near the Leviathans.
• Saltwater sam should no longer anger wandering monsters.
• Gameplay blocks (such as verticle jump blocks and turrets) can now only be placed in cornerstones and club worlds to prevent their accidental loss.
• Buffed darkness on leviathans and reduced their lifespan to 10 minutes.
• Lobstroso is tuned for groups of 8 players who are comfortable in U10. Timmense is tuned for those same players who have crafted the weekly torch from Lobstroso. Ifera should present a real challenge for fully geared groups of 8 players.

• Added donation stations to the geode topside outposts and the medieval highlands outpost. These donation stations have a chance to give Adventurine Strongbox Key.

Known Issue

• A change in this patch will prevent purchasing more than one of any item that unlocks a collection, even if that item is tradable. This will affect the Treasure Isles merchants along with Saltwater Sam in the hub. A fix is already in progress and will be released as soon as possible.
