Conveyor Belt to move enemies in a mob farm, or collect loose items and potentially store them automatically with a Robot Arm.

I’m not convinced Core Keeper can match the quality and scope of its best-in-class inspirations, but it’s already worth a look in Early Access, and if the rest of the pieces fall into place leading up to the full launch, it’ll be fondly remembered. [Early Access Review]

Roots no longer continue spawning in explored areas in the crystal biome. Environmental objects will pelo longer continue to spawn right next to the world edge. Fixed an issue where objects would not be rendered after the player was killed by a hydra boss.

Don’t be in a huge rush to unlock all the crafting resources immediately, though, since you can get a lot done by starting simply.

As soon as you find enough fiber (which you’ll only find in wooden crates for now), make yourself a bed. Taking a quick nap will top off your health bar, so you can conserve your food before running back out to fight slimes.

Alternatively, you can also hunt down monsters in their conterraneo habitat in specific biomes in Core Keeper, you can achieve this by building traps to catch the monsters.

Which isn't to say there aren't genuinely spooky areas and scary moments. There are ominous, off-screen sounds when you get close to one of Core Keeper's bosses. Breaking through a wall and suddenly seeing you're at the edge of a massive chasm is alarming, and building a narrow bridge across it doesn't feel comfy at all (even though you can't actually fall in).

Taking to Twitter, Core Keeper developer Pugstorm has announced that the sandbox survival title has surpassed 3 million players. In November last year, while the game was still in early access, it was announced that it had sold 2 million copies.

Portals can be crafted and placed in the world, enabling teleportation. Vanity slots allow players to change equipment appearance using a Dresser.

Increased chest rewards and a higher chance for rarer fish enhance the looting experience. The update also improves mechanics, like increasing projectile hit radius and merchant interactions.

Once you have mastered the basics, Keeper’s Toll introduces unique enemy archetypes, intricate bosses, and fresh Core Keeper Gameplay mechanics that will challenge any worthy hero.

Torches are one of the first and easiest items you can craft in Core Keeper. They just require wood to make, are great sources of light, and can be easily placed wherever you need them.

Ghorm is a gigantic worm that goes around the center of the map in a circle; it won't stop to fight you until you can do enough damage to it. I recommend having Iron equipment along with a bow in order to hurt it in the small window where it passes by a part of its tunnel.

It’s also a good idea to take the time and fully clear out areas, so the light can actually reach all the dim corners and not get cut off by random chunks of wall.
