Trivia

  • The None class used to spawn in with a brown cowboy hat, but it was given to the Cowboy later on.

  • While the game considers the None class to be a class, the None class is technically the lack of a class.

  • During the early versions of the game, the None class used to spawn in with either a Shovel, Pickaxe, Axe, or Hammer. The Axe and Hammer were removed, while the Pickaxe was given to the Miner class. In later versions, the Pickaxe became a purchasable item in the General Store.

  • In the Scorched Earth gamemode, players will be switched over to the None class.
