Everything was calm until the Pillagers attacked...
We just updated Extraction to 1.1.3, with some big new dangers in the Dead Zone, as well as a bunch of QoL and bugfixes, with some prep for a PROPER 1.21 upgrade and trial chambers in the near future!
This will be the final update for Extraction on 1.20 (even though you all are already playing on 1.21, we're still 1.20 in the background). I've been working hard at getting everything updated to 1.21 so we can play with the new items ASAP, but the trick has been getting all the NBT specifics of items upgraded to the new components system while at the same time making sure old and new versions of items stack for inventory space. There's a chance a decent bit of items will venture through the item updater, so stay tuned.
But there's a lot to cover here, so let's dive in.
Raids all the way down...
Pillager Raids were initially found out through a glitch in the system and me overlooking a very specific item combination in the loot pool...
This was SO MUCH FUN that the Pillagers have officially invaded the Dead Zone. There are several new Pillager Tower POI around the map, each of which being a place where you can trigger a raid with Bad Omen.
Don't worry about having to find a Captain, though... there's a few non-officially-branded Ominous Bottles waiting in chests around the Nexus. These are rare, but if you find one get a group together and prepare for the endgame combat challenge of Extraction.
New Items
We added 30 new items to the loot pool today, including a bunch of Pillager-themed items and the much-awaited Diamond gear tier. Our diamond gear comes with a bit of a trade-off, however, as the heavy equipment will slow you down when venture into the Dead Zone. This can be countered with cookies or other tools, and the speed debuff almost perfectly matches the Paratrooper Dagger.
Diamond tier is craftable RIGHT NOW, but it's a pretty big investment. Good luck getting a full set!
