Key points
- Aggrocrab updated Peak, adding the Roots biome alongside various gameplay adjustments.
- The Roots biome replaces the Tropics, and will be present in every run until Nov. 17.
- Cooking mechanics were overhauled.
The latest Peak update added the Roots biome, replacing the Tropics; the new biome will be in every run until Nov. 17. Aggrocrab also added various gameplay adjustments, including a relative overhaul of the cooking mechanics.
The developers stated that a lot more food will actually do something when cooked, thereby promoting more cooking. In addition, cooking usable but non-food items will no longer grant extra stamina, and cooked poisonous berries are now safe to eat, but players cannot cook the poison out of the mushrooms.
Here are the full Peak patch v1.40 notes, according to the official Steam posting:
