Aliases & Update:

Hazards:
- •
Tar Pits
Black quicksand-like pools can slow, trap, and punish players who step in or drop items near them.
Counterplay: Stay off the dark bubbling patches unless you are intentionally looting one. Avoid opening your inventory near the edge of a pit.
- •
Low nighttime visibility
The thick canopy makes navigation and target acquisition much harder than in the base forest.
Counterplay: Use the biome during daylight when possible. Keep a safe route back to camp before night falls.
- •
Part 2 night pressure
After Day 4, the Cat can pressure players who remain in the Jungle at night.
Counterplay: Retreat toward the campfire once the Cat becomes active. Do not treat the Jungle as a safe night-farming biome.
