Weapon, tool, and armor modifications
Introducing the modification system! You can now improve your weapons, tools, and armor with a host of modifications using kits. They can be used to improve certain aspects such as increasing damage on a sword, or improve harvesting on a tool!

Weather System
Only available in the north so far. The system allows for more dynamic changes in rain, snow, wind, and fog! Rain now puddles on the ground, but beware: if the weather grows severe enough, a thunderstorm might come.

New Armor Sets
This includes Aquilonian (medium) and Zamorian (cloth). Both include very good stats for their tier and will give attribute boosts once the new perk system is implemented.

Improved Thrall Capture Tools
This patch adds iron and steel truncheons for knocking out thralls, and higher tier bindings (rawhide, leather, and chain) for dragging thralls for longer distances.

New Weapons
New weapons include Acheronian weapons, two new axes, a new studded mace, and a corseque (pole weapon).



New Building Pieces
Ladders can now be built! Other pieces include inverted sloping walls, hatch frames, and hatches.

New Tools
Sickles have been added for harvesting fiber, and cleavers for harvesting meat.



New Placeables
New items include weapons racks, folded screens, papyrus scrolls, and more!
