SurviveTheNight

Hi everyone,

after a while we're finally releasing a new update! However, this is rather small and doesn't contain any new content. This is more of a backend change for us which allows us to experiment with different versions in the near future ;)

Here's the list of changes that we've rolled over the past few weeks:

• Pigeon Poop now despawns after 2min of not being mined
• STN is now available to newer versions than just 1.21 and will be updated to allow higher versions to join consistently
• Nerfed Spruce Skeleton and Jungle Zombie:
  • Entity Damage: 100 -> 50
• Fixed an issue with the Corrupted Pigeon leading into server crashes under certain circumstances
• Fixed an issue where the Collector's Exp task would show 7 exp less than what's actually obtainable
• Improved some logic in global systems
• Fixed a bunch of issues in global systems

Global systems that were affected by this update:

• /friend
• /guild
• /report
• /party
• and some more...

If you notice any issues with these systems such as some features not working as intended or messages not being formatted as you'd expect them to be, please do not hesitate and create a bugreport over on our discord.

That's everything!

Hi everyone,

we just rolled a new update. Here's what we've changed:

• Buffed the range of the Forest Spade's Locator ability: 10 blocks -> 16 blocks
• Reduced prices of Dye Crate Keys from Dungeon Loot Chests:
  • Legendary: 5,000 Gold -> 800 Gold
  • Sealed: 6,000 Gold -> 950 Gold
  • Silver: 6,000 Gold -> 1,100 Gold
• Fixed an issue where the Armoire would sometimes corrupt your inventory

That's it!

Today we're releasing a new content update.
While this one may not be as big as the others, it does contain some nice and unique stuff for you!

Continue reading to learn more about this update!

⇒ Armoire
The Armoire is a brand-new section of the STN Menu where you may store and quickly access all of your Armor Sets.

Armoire Slots can be edited using right click on the slot item. After that you may add up to 1 Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings and Boots to it.
When going back to the Armoire menu, you can see which armor pieces are in each slot and equip them using left click.

When being in the edit slot menu, you may also take a look at the slot stat overview, a nice little feature which shows you how many of each stat you'd be getting when having the armoire slot equipped.
Note: This feature only calculates base stats of items, stats gained from abilities are not included. It also ignores item requirements!

The Armoire comes with 14 slots unlocked by default, in case you need more you can unlock up to another 14 extra slots, however they cost Gold!

⇒ Dyes
Dyes are a new item type coming to SurviveTheNight!
They allow you give your armor a nice and unique design or color pattern!

There are two different types of Dyes: Alloys and Cauldron Dyes.

Alloys are non-customizable Dyes which will change your armor piece to a different material (e.g. Diamond Armor).
Cauldron Dyes are customizable and change the color of your armor.

With this update, we're introducing 14 different Dyes with 4 of them being Alloys and the other 10 of them being Cauldron Dyes:

• Seweric Dye: Can be obtained from Sewer Monsters
• Stone Dye: Can be obtained from Arkana the Dustbinder
• End Dye: Can be obtained from Enders
• Dungeon Dye: Can be obtained from Dungeon Loot Chests
• Gem Dye: Can be obtained by completing Daily Quests
• Alpha Dye: Can be obtained from Alpha Wolves
• RNG Dye: Can be obtained from the Dye Crate
• Ice Dye: Can be obtained from Winter Cave Creatures
• Infested Dye: Can be obtained from Forest Plagues
• Inverted Dye: Can be obtained by mining Inverted Burnt Ashes
• Diamond Alloy: Can be obtained by claiming items from the Forge
• Gold Alloy: Can be obtained by mining Gold Ores and Gold Blocks
• Iron Alloy: Can be obtained from Overgrown Golems
• Chain Alloy: Can be forged in the Forge

Note: Drop Chances for most of the Dyes can be viewed in the Bestiary menu or other dye-related menus.

Most Dyes are not that common to drop as we want them to be something special.
Once you manage to obtain one, you may either choose between customizing it or just straight up applying it to your armor using the Petrified Anvil.
Once applied, the Armor Piece becomes dyed which adds a new symbol to its item name, as well as adding a piece of description to it showing which Dye has been applied with which modifiers on it.

If you want to learn more about Dyes, visit the Dye Master in the Main Lobby!

⇒ Dye Mixing & Dye Crate
As already mentioned, Cauldron Dyes can be customized.
All you have to do is to visit the Dye Master in the Main Lobby, put the Dye in the menu that you'd like to customize and apply up to two color blobs on it.

Customizable Dyes have two customization slots: One for color (Red, Blue and Green) and another for brightness (Black and White). You may only apply a maximum of one blob per slot, so you got to choose! But don't worry: You may always preview the Dye and how it'd look like with the blob applied. And if you don't like the blob, you can remove it from the Dye and apply another one!

Color blobs can be obtained from the Dye Crate, a new invention by the Dye Master!
You may find it right next to him and you'll need a Dye Crate Key for it to open and roll a random piece of loot.

Dye Crate Keys can currently be obtained from the following sources:

• Dungeon Loot Chests (Silver and above)
• Alpha Wolf
• Not Spruce Tree
• Overgrown Golem
• Obsidianized Drakgoo

The Dye Crate contains various types of color blobs, as well as a new Dye and an upgrade item for an already existing amulet!
You may check out the loot using the loot overview menu in the Dye Crate.

⇒ Early Game Rebalancing
We've received a lot of feedback from you guys recently with most of them saying that the Early Game questline (Scarlett) is too long, especially in terms of Mining and Foraging.

So we've made some adjustments to it:

Foraging:
Foraging is the first major grind of the Scarlett questline requiring you to obtain the first Fox Axe, upgrade it two times and then grind for the sticks recipe.

Adjustments:

• Changed price of Basic Fox Axe: 32x Barkless Birch Log -> 8x Barkless Birch Log
• Changed price of Oaked Fox Axe: 32x Birch Log -> 24x Birch Log
• Changed price of Reinforced Fox Axe: 128x Oak Log -> 48x Oak Log
• Changed price of Recipe: Sticks: 32x Birch Log/Oak Log/Spruce Log -> 16x Birch Log/Oak Log/Spruce Log

Mining:
Mining is another major grind of the Scarlett questline requiring you to obtain a Wooden Pickaxe, upgrading it to T2, grind Gold for the Banker and reaching Mining Lvl. 15.

Adjustments:

• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 100: 5min -> 1min
• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 200: 15min -> 5min
• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 300: 30min -> 15min
• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 400: 60min -> 30min
• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 500: 2h 30min -> 60min
• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 600: 5h -> 2h
• Adjusted Forge Time for Pickaxer 700: 6h -> 5h

All of these adjustments should make the grind through the Scarlett questline not as long and tedious anymore as it used to be.
We might make more adjustments to the Scarlett questline in the future!

• Nerfed the recipe for Ambitious I enchanted books:

Changed:
