giant mushrooms made one time use?

[0ddball]

so i wanted to go farm some giant mushrooms for max hp because in the desert of beginnings you take quite a lot, but when i got my first giant shroom i noticed it said only one use, so i got worried, and went ahead and got myself a second giant mushroom, i tried it out and it seems that giant mushrooms are a one time use thing now.

which i find a little dissapointing, because if you were to create a new character now, you would never be able to get to even 1000 max health, which in my opinion really lowers how good being melee is,

dont know if it is also for amber larva.

This is also true of Amber Larva. The developers collated lots of community feedback before making the decision to do this (we asked for feedback in a Steam post, on Twitter, and on Discord).

After an overall positive response to this idea, they elected to make the Giant Mushroom and Amber Larva one-use only as a first step for re-working how permanent upgrades are used for new players in Core Keeper.

This change was made with improving the long-term balance of the game in mind and will also allow the devs to add more exciting and unique items to allow players to grow stronger further along in the game's development.

Hope this clears up some of the reasoning behind why this change was implemented for you Oddball :)

The old versions do still exist in the games files and can be modded in however.

I'll leave it to you to find out how so as not to easily give the information to those who would abuse it without putting in at least a token amount of effort.

Don't want to spoil things, but I am finding things since the desert update that make up for the mushroom and grub boosts now being one time only. I was pretty upset, but got over it in less than a day of playing the big update.

i see, ill go explore the desert to see what those things are, thanks for at least clearing up my questions. its still a great game even if giant mushroom and amber larva are one time use now :)

Seems like common sense these perma boosts are one time use
