v0.1.12

Patch Notes - Major Gameplay Changes

Water System Update

• Sietch water rings will now fully fill your water to max capacity instead of just giving +1 per ring.
• This makes the quest ring prize feel much more meaningful!

Literjon Cap

• To balance the water ring change and Literjon harvesting, Literjons are now capped at a max of 5.

More Thematic Enemies

• Worms are no longer a target! It felt unthematic for Fremen to hunt them, as they are seen as holy.
• Instead, in the Desert, you'll face Smuggler Recon Teams and Harkonnen Deserters.
• Some will have ranged weapons but are easier to take down.
• This makes for a more lore-accurate experience while also letting you get items earlier without having to kill tough enemies like small worms.

Here She Blows! Spice Blows!

• New mechanic for Deep Desert!
• Deep Desert is now enemy-free (the -2 water cost is punishing enough).
• However, when entering a Deep Desert tile, you may witness a Spice Blow!
• This event does two things:
  • Spreads valuable spice in the area (since worms no longer drop spice).
  • Summons BIG WORMS (not the small ones you could fight before).
• This is NOT a fight you can win—so remember: walk without rhythm!

Trance Ability Changes

• Instead of draining water over time, Trance now consumes water per attack.
• Each attack has a 50% chance to cost 1 water, but you still get 3 attacks in a row.
• This keeps it a powerful ability while making water management more strategic.

Stay hydrated, stay sharp, and may Shai-Hulud watch over you!
