Trying to get friends hyped and have something to look forward to.

Does anyone know of some possible new mechanics or rebalances that may come in the 1.2 patch?

~thanks

Not much is released. JC will post a teaser before he patches. There will prolly be a few bug fixes

We know there is going to be exploration which will spawn interesting things on the map that will give you a reward for stumbling on it.

Possibly whales but nothing has been said about them other than a pic.

Other than that you will have to wait for his teaser.

Marp was streaming his work on Whales a few days ago, the animations are near completion from my best guess, id say whales are a 50/50 shot at making an appearance in 1.2.

Ore stock bins... (being able to stock pile ore)

All slotted belts going away to be replaced with utility stuff which could include pouches... bigger than pockets, etc.

Ton of rumor and speculation that Witches will become more formidable... time to build town Church?

OFC.. animals and the end of Popham... half wonder if the patch is being delayed just b/c Darworth's Witch is refusing to end it and/or nobody is bothering to finish the ark?

Ore Stockbins... Yuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...............

What does Darwoth have to gain from holding Popham up? it delays animals from getting to Providence and making him even more powerful through domestic meats.

And im pretty sure everyone who didn't already give up before he hit Third Circle has either been killed or given their character to his witch in hopes of getting an animal on Prov.

The only ones that might be left fighting him are CAKE, and ive not heard anything from them in quite some time.

i have secondary goals on the server as do the handful of people i am aligned with, server dirtnap date has been chosen and will close out when it approaches whether those goals are fully realized or not. what i am doing on popham has nothing to do with the patch.

In addition to exploration events, new belt mechanic, and whales, there is going to be one more major new thing which I think you'll all find a lot of fun. You'll have to convince John to reveal it.
