EDIT: Patch is live! 535.7MB!

There are a whole bunch of improvements to balance here, particularly in the early game. We aren't wiping characters or worlds, but if you want to experience the proper balance you should make a new character/worlds to play it on!

Also..

Nerf the hell out of birds, they no longer attack you at long range, lower damage, don't follow you forever.
Monster projectiles across the board better balanced
Shields better balanced
Early armors better balanced
Melee weapons better balanced
Ores better balanced
AI improvements
you can now craft lanterns (similar to sixxes' lantern mod!)
you can now craft a new back armor to help light caves
fixed the bubble gun crashing on mouse over
improve grass ( Suggestion by Dracyoshi)
You are now invincible on your ship (this requires a new character)
You need to be hit a lot harder to get knocked back
some UI updates
Drills now destroy 3x3 blocks
Other misc changes
