Death mechanics?

[Poma]

So I decided to see if I drop inventory items when I die (after farming quite a bit of stuff), I've put most valuable stuff in vault and let slimes kill me. I was quite surprised that instead of respawning the game dropped me to the main menu. Is it supposed to be permadeath? Isn't it a bit hardcore for a chill clicker farm genre like stardew?

Thankfully I was able to load the game but still I have only 1 hp and don't know how to restore it. Also in the future if I die I might end up in a situation that some monster instakills me after loading the game. Seems a bit too harsh.

It's not permadeath, it just kicks you out of the game. To restore health you can eat foods, drink potions or interact with faeries!

That said! Permadeath WILL be added on the Combat Update for a sort of "Hardcore" mode muhahaha

So it isn't possible that in future it kicks me out on death, but on reload some monster immediately attacks and kills me making save game unplayable.

So far berries and fish only restores stamina. Do I need higher tier food?

Yeah. Make higher tier food. Cooked meat (perk, use forge) or bread (farming perk, but requires milling flour so it's more complex)

Is this "opt in" or just everyone will be hardcore upon the combat update?

Is the combat update (that is susposed to come with permadeath) in the near future?

I'm so glad you're actively developing this game even after release, just like ConcernedApe does with Stardew Valley. Forager is the most fun I've had with an indie game since that gem, and I highly anticipate what you come up with next!

I play modded and I basically crash if I try to restart my save and I'd rather just respawn instead of having to restart entirely. My laptop can only load the game off spawn, loading a full save just makes me crash... and with 113 mods its not fun reloading, restarting, etc. I want to do fun things like have boss rush and other stuff but not be suffocated with the idea that if I die I have to restart.
