    Afraid you forgot a section:
    Things Not Happening:
    • Weaponized shovels
    • Weaponized rakes
    But really though thanks for the summary. Watched the video before I saw it and pretty sure you got most of the major points. Good job!

    Though I did notice a few things missed off the top of my head:
    • Many more dungeons added to every biome.
    • Biome combinations only allow certain combinations which make sense.
    • Some dungeons have vehicles spawned at them.
    • It appears gates now spawn on planets? SHH! REMEMBER: NOBODY SAW THAT.
    and one of your points was cut off:
    • Dungeons now have "Quest regions" which can
    I assume it would be "...which can allow NPC quests to specifically reference and lead to dungeons and structures."

    Forgot a couple of details on World Changes...
    • Current Glitch Castle is being converted to a friendly castle with shops and etc.
    • New UNfriendly "Black Knight Castle" aboveground dungeon, much more open, fortressy, and VERTICAL layout with bridges and long falls. One of the biggest common dungeons in the game.
    • Avian towers are being moved to new "Devout Avian" villages, which feature sacrificial altars and such, different from Grounded Avian villages (in current)
