swimming bears nao pl0x

in all seriousness, the most drastic jump in tech/quality (blazing though the "early game") comes from your first bear skin and set of bear bones. from a bear kill you can get:

q100+ bonesaw, a significant boost to leather quality, herb table quality, barrel quality, and so many more.
bear cape - a huge bonus to mining and a nominal bonus to pvp.
slings made from bear leather/bear hide straps - another enormous jump in quality comes here, making future bear kills easier.
and of course, village idols (if nothing else the extra logistical bonus from traveling to idol makes a huge difference in collecting materials and so forth)

swimming bears would have been much better at the start of world 7, but the sooner the better

What's so bad about having to explore game mechanics? Cases like this one are obviously a bit special on account of the karmic justice involved, but under more normal circumstances? Generally speaking I do try to post change-logs, often-times referencing even minor fixes of graphics glitches or whatever. What is it that you want? Mathematical formulas?

Secret updates can be fine if benign. This clearly crosses that line.
