A pretty massive update has dropped for the fantasy survival RPG Kingdom of Atham: Crown of the Champions. This patch brought a slew of noteworthy changes - one of which is the removal of the weight stat.
According to developer Sofa Mauve Studio, the weight stat was removed in favor of slots and stack sizes. Now, players can only carry a number of items depending on the available slots in their inventory.
Another major change in this update is the rework of the decay system. For those who don't know, Kingdom of Atham: Crown of the Champions has base-building as a main mechanic. This means that players can put up various structures to aid them in the long run.
That said, five minutes after a structure is built, the building will start to decay. While players can repair it manually using their magical apparatus, a new item called the Repair Flag was made to automate this process. This thing repairs structures in a large area for 5,000 durability, so it's best to start making them from the Workbench asap.
