The one down side I see to this is that natural squid spawn only happens below 64, so it'll take some digging to get there.The only changes between the beta map and the new official map is the terrain height I tried to use a mod to help with bats but it broke too many things so I made the terrain height 74 this way bats only spawn in the deepest builds.
On 1.1.2 we started in the morning, and had a full 10 minutes of daylight. Maybe that was a mistake, and previous versions started at noon?You know I'm really not sure it's been so long since I played through the early game but it should be spawning you at noon time. I'll double check to make sure the time isn’t off, but if this is the case there’s not much I can do I right now, fortunately this shouldn’t be too much of a prob for most but if it does become a prob then I’ll see about posting a fix.
It's not necessarily a problem, but it definitely changes my first day strategy. No way I can get a trench around the front of the ship, and 2+ stacks of dust in that time now.
