There are(were?) a lot of features in update 249 that would be useful for the NPE & experienced players:
- Max skill points increased to 367 to accommodate the new skills
- Melee weapons
- An Epic Skill that allows almost all tintable blocks to be spray painted
- New Block Protection Quirk on Melee Weapons & Bombs to stop any accidental base destruction
- 2nd chance brew for removal of death penalty
- Reduced the Foliage, Stick and Timber costs to all Wooden Tools and weapons to 2 Timber, 1 Stick and 1 Foliage. The coin cost has been reduced to compensate.
