Other:

• Changed how cooked food is stored in the save files. Existing save files will get converted when they are loaded for the first time. After this point, they will not be compatible with previous game versions.
• Several performance improvements for the water spreading system. In particular, this should in significantly reduced load times for worlds where large sections of the Sunken Sea biome have been explored.

• Update README for dedicated server with missing information since previous updates.
• Dedicated server will now parse human readable values as well as the corresponding integer values for setting world mode and season. So, instead of setting -season 1 or -worldmode 1, you can use -season Easter and -worldmode Hard as well.

• The maximum object ID for ingredients used in cooked food has been increased from 10,000 to 65,535. In particular, it now supports the 32,768–65,535 range that is reserved for items added by mods.
• Enemies that spawn in groups chasing down players will no longer destroy objects in their paths while chasing down the player.
• Fixed translation issues in descriptions for certain weapons and pets.

Bug Fixes:

• Creatures like cattle, critters and enemies should no longer escape through fences and other blocking objects.

• Fixed an issue with pets being able to damage cattle.
• Larvas will no longer die when they walk close to a fence.

• Fixed the eyes to be glowing red again for some Caveling types where the eyes had turned black.
• Playing certain melodies with the instruments will no longer cause the player to freeze.
