As many people have requested I will be changing up how raids work a bit + other fixes Patch notes: Changes

• Fixed diagonal movement
• Lowered sprinkler sound effect to be less annoying
• Nerfed wolf armor to give less move speed
• Buffed some bosses, increasing hp and damage
• A bunch of item balancing
• Magic food consumption increased
• Whetstone repair nerfed slightly
• Increased day duration by 10 minutes, making it 30minutes per day instead of 20. Giving more time to advance through crafting tiers and experiment
• Made the raids weaker at the beginning of the game and harder later
• Buffed health of late game enemies
• Fixed red screen flash effect in multiplayer
• Fixed sounds in multiplayer
• Buckets no longer need to be refilled after being filled the first time.
• Raid enemies will no longer appear in your base, but now they wont ignore your base either, if you are far from your base and enemy finds your base in the path to reach you, some of them will do damage passing through it.
• Made blood mood effect slightly lighter
• Enemies will now collide with themselves, making melee enemies harder to cheese since you cant stack them up anymore.

Underlings is a game of survival in a ruthless world in which everything is trying to kill you, hunt, gather, farm and build, but most of all, die and try again.

You will play as one of the "evil" creatures of the world, trying to escape your past and live a peaceful life, being forever hunted by the bosses of underworld.
Explore the world of dangerous beasts, gather interesting resources to craft new weapons and armor, build up your base and try to defend it against raids of hell, or fail and have it destroyed as you run away scared and try to rebuild it again.

Who will last, you or them...?

Features:

• Challenging gameplay:
  Theres no hand holding, you will be dropped in the world where danger lurks everywhere, its up to you to survive, doing whatever it takes.
  
• Choose your difficulty:
  Play casually without raids if you prefer just relaxing and doing your thing, or challenge the intended difficulties to get raided daily while you worry of permadeath
  
• Randomly generation:
  Start each game on a completely different randomly generated world, try to find the best place for a base, explore the world and find the resources you need.
  
• Survival at its core:
  Gather resources, find food, craft better weapons and armor, build a base, farm, breed animals and try to defend all of it each day or die trying.
