Eating Poop Is No Longer A Solid Strategy In Viral Steam Game Duckov

"Up until now, players of the game made by five people that has sold more than 1 million copies could eat poop to restore energy and hydration values. Players can still do that after the new update, but it's less effective to do so. The patch notes state: "Reduced the Energy and Hydration values provided by Poop." As PC Gamer points out, some players resorted to downing dookie to revitalize their character."

"Escape from Duckov October 23 patch notes Updates Orange Headphones can now be dismantled. Added indicator display when the player is injured. Removed the footstep sound of dogs. Reduced the Energy and Hydration values provided by Poop. Added another construction site in the base to prevent players from getting stuck inside rooms. Slightly reduced the damage of Storm Creatures. In Motion Sickness-Friendly Mode, removed the camera movement when leaving the base. Mad Bombers now have a chance to drop other cellar keys."

Escape from Duckov received an October 23 update that reduces the energy and hydration benefits from eating poop, making that tactic less effective while still usable. The update adds several quality-of-life and balance changes: Orange Headphones can be dismantled, an injury indicator display was added, dog footstep sounds were removed, and another construction site prevents players getting stuck inside rooms. Combat and item adjustments include slightly reduced Storm Creature damage, lower durability consumption for several energy bullet types, a Mad Bomber loot change, and a Monster that can inflict a Shatter effect. Players can still craft poop into a throwable Poop Ball.
