Even if the default client ran with super good FPS, its unlikely people would use it. you don't even show the quality of items in default client.... and this is a crafting game.

So my suggestion is you add more debugging options for the custom client creators to work with, they are probably far more motivated in finding the issues than you are as they are always trying to optimize their clients. If they have the tools, maybe they can pinpoint the issues for you.

All custom clients are just forks of default client.
Default client performance fixes would eventually find their way to custom clients as well.
I think that devs should take care of client performance themselves, as they are getting paid by the people who play the game. Not volunteers.

Its like you make a shitty and incomplete game and then ask modders to fix it.
Devs should not forget the client development imo.

This is a legit tactic.

Don't want to check this
But I'm fairly sure that it'll disengage once you lay unconscious under cave-in

Question is, is each cavein an instance of the attack of its own, or does he do the cavein attack which drops many caveins?

If the former, you'd survive, if the latter, you would get crushed by the caveins anyway, ants-style.

Well I remember in last world it buried me under the rocks because it got trapped by cave-in itself and thus could not reach me. It also took several cave-in attacks to finish me off. I think it has some internal cooldown and if it knock you out with cave-in after today's patch, it'll stop spawning any new because it would not be in combat anymore.
But confirming this requires testing, and I don't want to seal it inside that small tunnel.

Can you at least make the mandrakes a little more common then because even if you had 5 or more scents in some order like 1x murder 1x battery 3x theft/vandal chances are you don't get the opportunity to send all those at one time before the theft/vandal disappear because of how infrequently the mandrake roots pop up.
