NEW EXCITING IMPORTANT REVOLUTIONARY FEATURE:
titles
yea unlock titles so you can be like, Axeman Heedicalking the Tyrant or Surgeon deathslayer the Angel.
You can also craft cannons and cannonballs to go with them. At the start, resources are all over the place, and since this will be the first beta, everything will have to be hand made or found since no one else is going to be there to supply you. When you mine a resource, though, it is gone for good until you plant more or the next landing occurs. This will push people farther out from the spawn in search of more resources and less resource hoggers.
Firing the cannons works like this: get in cannon > click > loads cannonball > charge > fire.
