Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great summer! I'm back in full swing with more updates. Since the release of the workshop, it has been awesome watching you creative modders out there. Thank you so much for spending time adding content and features to the game. To the people using the mods - Remember to give the mods a like and favorite to show your appreciation if you enjoy them as well! As you would expect, there has been a bunch of work on the modding side of things and this will keep happening over future updates as well. I have tried to keep mods as backward compatible as possible and many of the mods I tested still work with this update. Remember to back up your modded saves. If you still are experiencing problems you can now switch to an older version of the game: Go to your Steam library -> Right-click Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select v0.21.23 -> Close the window and you will see it downloading the old version. It has been a while since I have worked on a new boss, and I wanted to get back on that. Even though it is still not completely finished, I wanted to put it in the update for you to try out. It is summoned in the new deep swamp cave which includes a new ore, armor, weapons, and trinket. As much of this will probably be tweaked and changed in the next update, it's not tied into the elder quest progression just yet.
If you had gone through the deep caves, you probably noticed that you did so a lot quicker than the normal caves. This update tries to smooth out the deep cave progression a bit more with the ores being tiered and slightly less of them generating. With this tier system, each deep cave ores now have a full set of tools.
Thank you to everyone who has been providing new translations and fixing/improving older ones! I am still working on some of the larger features behind the scenes, like proper controller support. Some of the other features in this update include:

• The default interface style is now primal.
• Warning dialogue when attempting to load save with different mods.
• More intuitive and robust save backup system.
• Crafting station's "Show hidden" checkbox is now an "Only craftable" checkbox instead.
• Iron bombs and dynamite can now destroy objects based on the highest tier tool you have in your inventory.

And a bunch of other smaller changes and fixes! You can read the full changelog below. Thank you for all the support! - Fair
