Balancing:

• Changed placement for captured hearts and spider eggs in gatekeeper arena to prevent them being hitable from outside the arena.
• First serpent gatekeeper forms of void map now have reduced health in endgame similar to the scaling in the early game.
• Faded maps now have 15 % increased EXP bonus (was 10%), additionally they also have 10% increased enemy health and 5 % more enemy spawns.
  

Improvements

• Reduced deceleration of map tree shards when dropping from enemies
  

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug which caused weaken and empower modifier to cancel out the effect on map mods in an unintended way. If you now apply very much weaken mulipliers on a map to reduce the effects of other mods you can end up receiving negative EXP bonuses. This prevents canceling out mods by throwing massive amounts of weaken modifiers onto a map.
• Fixed unlocked maps not being spawned in the initial pathfinder maps.
• Fixed gatekeeper arena colliders making player getting stuck while walking around the closed exit door areas.
• Fixed merchant not offering skill tree shards
• Fixed text out of bounds for weapon tooltips
• Fixed a bug which caused no further maps to be connected to your pathfinder map
