Core Items & Upgrades
Reusable & Enhanced Utility Items
- Reusable Bola: Tame and trap on the fly with a bola that never leaves your hands. This version can be thrown infinitely without needing to be crafted again or retrieved after use.
- Reusable Flare Gun: Light up the darkest nights or signal your tribemates without worry. This flare gun requires no ammunition, providing a constant source of light on demand.
- Grappling Hook+: The ultimate mobility tool, upgraded. This grappling hook still requires a crossbow but does not consume the hook upon firing, allowing for continuous use. It has also been enhanced to function in most caves where standard grapples fail.
- Reusable Lasso: Tame and transport creatures with ease. This durable lasso can be used repeatedly without breaking, making it an essential tool for any rancher.
- Reusable Parachute: Leap from the highest cliffs without a second thought. This parachute can be used over and over, ensuring you always have a safe way down.
- Reinforced Whip: A whip with significantly increased durability, allowing it to withstand far more use than the standard version before breaking.
- Reusable Spear: Perfect for hunting from a distance. This spear can be thrown an infinite number of times without being consumed. However, be mindful that it retains its normal durability when used as a melee weapon and will break from repeated stabbing.
- Spyglass+: See the world like never before. This advanced spyglass provides enhanced information on creatures, likely including detailed stats, torpor levels, and other crucial data not visible with the vanilla version.
- Reusable Torch: A reliable light source that never extinguishes. This torch has infinite durability, ensuring you're never left in the dark.
