World generation

Gameplay

  • Zoologist replaces the Guide as the starting NPC.
    • The Zoologist sells regular Torches in addition to her standard wares.
  • The On Fire! debuff deals 50 damage per second instead of 4.[5]
  • The player will be scorched by the sun when exposed to sunlight for more than 2 seconds. This effect is world-based rather than character-based, meaning that characters entering this world will still exhibit normal behavior in other worlds. A sizzling sound can be heard when exposed to sunlight.
    • An intense sun flare effect will also be displayed if Sunlight Effects are enabled and the sun is up in the sky (i.e., the sun flare effect will be weaker during dawn or dusk).

  • Tiles in a 15-tile-high area starting from the player's feet (checked from bottom to top) contains any "empty wall tile", or if less than 15 tiles high, the highest continuous wall tile is not capped with a solid, unactuated block (ie; ceiling).
A tile is considered to be an "empty wall tile" if it fulfills one of the following conditions:
  • It does not have a background wall.
  • It has any background wall coated with Echo Coating, and the player cannot see Echo tiles.
  • It has one of the following background walls:
