##### PATCH ~~1.45.a~~ 1.46.a

**_
EDIT: We had an issue that required rolling back the patch, but it's fixed now!
_**

The biome you guys love to hate, the TROPICS, is back in the rotation!!

Or do we all forgive the TROPICS now that ROOTS is out? lol...

##### FEATURES

- The Tropics are back in the rotation. We now have a new map rotation algorithm instead of just swapping between MESA and ALPINE every other day:

- The map cannot be the same exact configuration two days in a row.

- You will never see the same biome three days in a row.

- The Roots now has biome variants. You know how sometimes the tropics is freaky and full of more bombs than usual? We did a pass like that to the Roots.

##
BALANCE CHANGES

- Fortified Milk has gone from an Uncommon to a Rare loot.

- Beetles knock you slightly less far and put you in ragdoll state for less time, making it less likely they stunlock you.

##### BUGFIXES

- Fixed an issue where players could still become zombies in Tenderfoot, despite zombies not spawning in the world.

- Thickened giant mushroom colliders to make it less likely to get stuck in them when falling from a great height
