Needle

The needle is a crafting item dropped by the porcupine. The porcupine is an easy mob to kill due to its passive nature. Needles are usually easy to acquire as the porcupine has a 50% drop chance.

Crafting and Usage
The needle can only be acquired as a loot drop from the porcupine. Needles are drop 1/2 times when the creature is killed. Needles currently have no crafting usage but this is a planned alpha addition. Needles are used in Epic Inventor as crafting items to make a parachute. It has been indicated as unlikely that this will be the case in Geared.

Development
Needles were already present in the pre-alpha version of the game (0.0.1) although they could not be acquired as the porcupine was not yet added to the game. Along with the addition of the porcupine is the alpha version (0.0.2) it became possible to obtain needles. They have no usage as of yet but are planned to be used as a crafting item in a later update.
