This update is packed with the things you've been (patiently) asking for: long-requested features, QoL improvements, and many squashed bugs all carefully hunted down and delivered to you. Save files from version 0.5.14 are compatible, but it's always a good idea to back up your saves just in case. If you'd like to continue playing 0.5.14, you can select it in Steam options under betas.

Extendable Hotbar

The hotbar can now be expanded to up to 30 slots wide and 3 rows tall.
Those with widescreen monitors can now take full advantage of their available screen space.
New options allow you to set custom hotkeys for each individual row and set of 10 slots. Adjust the hotbar size in Options -> General -> Hotbar, and customize hotkey modifiers in Options -> Controls -> Hotbar.

Hotbar - Keyboard Navigation

We're told some people prefer keyboards. Well, we have something special for you: full hotbar keyboard support. How does it work? Press the Tab key to activate your hotbar for keyboard navigation. Press tab again to cycle through the slots, or use the directional keys to move through them directly.
With the ability picker open, press Delete to remove abilities, or Enter to add them directly to your hotbar.

Furniture

You can now purchase furniture from shops and place it in your homes. Furniture appears as an item in your inventory after purchase, allowing you to easily transport it.
To move existing furniture, right-click it and select "Pick Up." Existing furniture in your save files has been automatically updated to be pick-up-able. Finding Furniture:

• Shopkeepers sell all types of workbenches, along with storage units (chests, cupboards).
• Rare furniture items, like enchanting tables, may take time to locate.

Innkeeper Dialog

Having trouble finding furniture? Innkeepers in every town now offer a new dialog option to provide information about the town, including where to purchase specific furniture items.
Initially, the dialog only has an option to ask about rare items; however, further options will appear based on your actions in the world. For example, owning a house unlocks an option to inquire if anyone in town is selling furniture, saving you the trouble of asking every shopkeeper. In the future, we plan to extend innkeeper information, unlocking new questions based on your reputation and actions. In this way the innkeeper will serve as a central hub for local town information.

Map Flags

Right-click on any tile on the world map to place a flag! Use flags to mark interesting locations and save reminders to yourself about specific overworld tiles.
Flags are saved with your game and will remain until you manually remove them.

Blood Creatures & Reputation

A new reputation system is in place for blood creatures, known as "The Red Brood."
Killing Blood Cocoons or Ravagers will decrease your reputation, angering The Red Brood. A poor reputation can trigger escalating hostilities, including encounters with Elite Ravagers and Elite Ravager Hunters. At lower reputation levels, the powerful Elite Ravager will hatch from blood cocoons instead of the normal ravager.
At the lowest reputation, Elite Ravager Hunters will actively track you down. They may appear at any time in any dungeon, without needing to hatch from cocoons, making them a constant threat.
If left untouched, your reputation with The Red Brood will slowly improve over time, allowing you to gradually escape their wrath. This is the first extension of the reputation system in some time, but it won't be the last. In the future, we intend to add more reputation-tracking factions, along with new ways to increase or reduce reputation.

Status Effect Tooltips

When inspecting creatures (enemies or summons), hover your mouse over any status effect to see a tooltip description.
