Balance adjustments seem to follow the principle of "not sacrificing fun".For example, the overall fall damage was reduced, and the production team made it clear that "it's not fun to fall to death if you fall from a not too high place."In addition, the damaged furniture no longer disappears completely, but will be packaged, which is to avoid the player's base being completely destroyed.Although the furniture packaging mechanism may be reconsidered in the future based on game balance, overall, this change enhances players' sense of accomplishment to continue to move forward for survival, reduces frustration, and makes the game smoother.
