However, this teleportation and quick repair cause a debuff due to energy loss, affecting Max HP and Recovery ability of the revived body. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/69b22e4a03dbfbb4d781895d6760c27d3ba18e47.png[/img] You can still use the Mysterious Stone Table for traditional remodeling. While this method requires more time and resources, it grants new buff to your resurrected tribesmen.

[*] When resurrecting tribesmen, their stats revert to the last entered data in the Mysterious Stone Table. [/list] This is just a glimpse of the mask's new potential... The Chieftain's body has also undergone significant changes...

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/92c78351095c043740e6edef0108d670025b488e.jpg[/img] [list] [*] Level cap increased from 40 to 50. [*] Production proficiency cap increased from 50 to 60, and combat proficiency cap from 50 to 90. [*] Basic stats upgraded to the level of blue-tier barbarians. [*] As you level up the starter character, unlock these unique talents: [/list] [b]Tribe - Survivor: [/b]As a survivor of the tribe wars, you'll need strength to survive in this land. Max Load +20%.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/3592d432df56c1f063d0fb761d6b5ef81a50bf1b.png[/img] [b]Crisis Response: [/b]When attacked, has a 20% chance to increase DEF and Max HP by 5% each for 30 seconds. (CD: 50s) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/7719698124aa68c1cbcbebb5e24ac37bd34cf8d8.png[/img] [b]Desperate Struggle: [/b]Recovers 15% of HP in 5 seconds when HP is below 15%.

After defeating the Vajra Ape and unlocking the third mask node, Chiefs can choose the tribesmen for info entry in the "Remodel" module of the Mysterious Stone Table and start deep genetic scanning. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/2f799032cc0f34725515792d55953b760102e339.jpg[/img] After scanning for a while, their biological information can be transferred to the starter character. Please note that once logged info is replaced, the Mysterious Stone Table cannot process similar genetic information again. Therefore, [b]body data copy is irreversible, and the copied tribesmen cannot undergo genetic logging again.[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/6f65e392d4496494f96d2eb028e13d4089b1992e.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/05b3212b164f1da7343aea4087a94118d49934b7.png[/img] [h3]Tribesmen Squad[/h3] [i][b]A single follower is no longer sufficient for the increasingly intense battles. Our tribesmen have been trained in team combat tactics using the mask's data.[/b][/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/8c2b58bfb1b58ad6d458621a9717d52e4cc95e82.jpg[/img] In the new version, we introduce the mechanism for multiple tribesmen to join battles in Solo/LAN/private server modes. You can adjust the Max number of participating tribesmen in the advanced settings (default is 3). [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/6e668bb868230f45cc6fae0f8c97b8f73f3939b1.gif[/img] Interact with multiple tribesmen directly or open the "Clan" page for batch deployment. They will execute the Chiefs' commands uniformly. [b]Important notes:[/b] [list] [*] Due to server load considerations, the official server does not support multiple tribesmen in battle. [*] For solo games, consider balancing difficulty settings with your tribesmen squad size for the best experience. [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/05b3212b164f1da7343aea4087a94118d49934b7.png[/img] [h3]Craft from inventory[/h3] [i][b]The enigmatic mask continues to reveal its mysterious powers. Recently, chiefs discovered that the mask can teleport raw materials needed for production from storage boxes to the workbench through spatial teleportation technology.[/b][/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44705810/c0cb49d3aca775a898a29e0dd22fbd9540fdb52a.jpg[/img] In this update, we introduce the global resource calling function. Toggle the "Automatically call box resources when crafting" option in the advanced settings to use this function. When crafting, Chiefs or mask-controlled tribemen can efficiently use materials from all boxes within the campfire range at any workbench.
