Hey Everyone,
This patch adds new recipes to the stew system. Now the combination of items added to the stews has a greater effect on the bonuses they give, for example, meat cooked with herbs but without water will give more fullness, whereas mushrooms with herbs cooked in water will give a health and energy boost but only a small amount of fullness.
We added a new animation for swimming into and out of caves. We’re hoping this fixes all issues of the game still thinking you are in a cave when exiting a swim entrance at the wrong angle which was causing lighting and tree issues as a result.
Gamepad controls have been drastically improved. We added rumble to a bunch of the weapons (make sure xinput is on in the controller options and game is restarted to use this feature) Additionally aiming with weapons on controller has been improved, there is now more precise aiming on bows when aiming slowly compared to when aiming fast. We also re-worked the book to work better on a controller, making the selection easier and clearer and with new icons. For inventory we switched selection to left stick by default, added a new selection cursor and removed the old snap option that made selecting some items difficult.
Some of the frustrating aspects of hard survival mode such as fullness yields and meat decay duration were set back to normal values. In this mode we reduced the amount of birds and turtles significantly to match the lower spawn rate of other animals and added a new thirst penalty to eating dried meat.
We focused a lot on LODS, and performance this patch, moving the calculations of where trees and items are to it’s own thread which should help on CPU limited systems. We’re hoping these changes give a performance boost for most players when in the overworld. For caves we made some major improvements to how lights and props are rendered and this should provide a substantial framerate increase for most systems when inside caves.
There are now less throwable rocks spawned in the world, and to fix an issue with players accidently picking them up when they don’t want to, small rocks now take half a second to take.
You can now fill waterskin with water from pots! We’ve also tried to make dying of thirst less annoying, with changes to both damage amounts and timing of when you take damage.
We added new animations to the flashlight.
Previously when finding a story item in a cave it would sometimes be too dark to see what it was, now the player will aim the torch at held story items. There’s also a new animation to make clearer when the torch is out of battery instead of it just returning to your inventory.
For enemies we’ve tweaked their A.I. so that when the player is already surrounded by a group of enemies, other enemies that enter the area will tend to keep their distance or run away, helping to prevent cases of players being swarmed by too many cannibals especially in late game.
The thin mushroom stump in the world can now be destroyed. Poison chunks will now be visible when applied to a melee weapons. There is some new dialogue for the end game cutscene, and we made a bunch of fixes to traps.
Along with this we fixed a ton of long standing bugs in both single and multiplayer, full list below.
If you are running a dedicated server, you will need to restart your server with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.

Hey Everyone,
This patch adds a new modern bow. It’s hidden pretty deep in one of the cave systems. This bow will shoot longer and further than the crafted bow, and with more damage. To keep the crafted bow useful we’ve made it fire faster than the modern bow, but with shorter range and with less damage impact.
The cooking pot can now cook stews, making it possible to combine
meat, mushrooms and berries or any combination. Each food item has it’s plus and minuses and so experimenting with the best recipes is encouraged. A lizard stew with mushroom for example will give an energy boost whilst also filling your stomach.
We added a new hard survival difficulty level. This mode will have less animals spawned, harsher penalties for eating poison, standing in fire, or being infected along with less suitcase spawns and some additional changes to make things harder to survive. This mode is a work in progress so let us know any suggestions you have on how we can make this more challenging for experienced players.
We worked further on performance this patch, especially on CPU limited machines. Previously when moving through the world or rotating the camera there would be a cpu hit based on how the inventory was parented to player. We also improved the cost on gpu of certain times of day when the sun was at it’s most extreme angles causing a higher shadow rendering cost, lowered the animator cost in a bunch of places and improved performance of enemies when offscreen. For large save games we’ve begun optimizing physics and rendering to get larger bases running faster.
We also fixed an issue with skin mask enemies appearing invisible, fixed some trap issues, improved some audio, added a first pass of blade weapon poisoning, replaced the old rusty axe art and more, for the full list check below.
If you are running a dedicated server, you will need to restart your server with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.

(Performance) Far shadows are now always disabled while in caves
Fixed greeble layer sometimes throwing errors and breaking the work scheduler, thus preventing it from further updating the environment
(performance) yacht collision and interior objects are now disabled unless player is close by
Added Hard Survival game difficulty, playing in this mode will cause less animals and fish to appear in world, and with a longer respawn after killing them. Greater & faster cold penalties. Fire has been made more dangerous to the player. More food required per meal to fill stomach. Thirst comes faster. Slower respawn on gathered herbs. Meat spoils faster. It’s easier to get sick or infected and there are greater penalties from sickness and infection. A rebalancing of poisonous food, drinking bad water and eating out of date food. Along with this there is a much lower amount of spawned suitcases.

Arrow basket now stores the type of arrow that was added (SP only at the moment)
(multiplayer) Fixed an issue with clients sometimes taking damage when starting on the plane
It is now possible to add pot without water on the fire, it will be possible to pick it back up after 40s if nothing is added to it
It is now possible to cook a stew with the cooking pot ! After adding the pot filled with water on a fire, add a choice of 20 ingredients (8 meats, 6 mushrooms, 4 herbs and 1 berry and oysters), it will start a 30s cooking period after which stew will be ready to eat, providing hydration, fullness and other benefits based on recipe. Can remain on the fire up to 10 minutes. Note, you can also add ingredients to pot without water, however this will not provide hydration and will burn food extremely fast.
Slightly reduced damage and firing range of crafted bow

Hey Everyone,
This patch includes some tweaks to how armor displays. We now assign a color to each armor swatch based on the type worn. Additionally as you add more armor it now gets placed from bottom up, meaning you can easily place stronger armor like bone armor above weaker deer armor for the best defence.
We made some tweaks to late game a.i. pacing. To counteract some players who have made it many days in, we’ve changed the way enemies explore the map to hopefully reduce instances of players getting swarmed by enemies over and over again even after having just killed a large amount of them.
The stats page has seen some additional work, to make the stats clearer we’ve added a decimal point to strength and athleticism making it easier to see what exactly the value is at. New trending up and down arrows were added to make clearer which direction your stats are heading in. Along with this there are new UI elements for dying of thirst and hunger, these have been moved to the side of the screen instead of in the center.
We’ve made some CPU performance improvements by removing unused right hand items from the player hierarchy at runtime. We also made the low setting for shadows in options menu disable shadow casting from the flashlight which should help on some systems.
Nitrogen tanks in the end game part of the world can now be destroyed. These will explode and can be a handy way to help kill big enemies faster.
We added some new art this patch, for story reasons the clothing and model of the red man has been improved, he is no longer using a generic cannibal model, but instead has his own unique assets. We also improved the look of the bloody katana, improved the textures on the sharks, and made a new front piece for the rebreather so it looks better in first person view.
We got through a large amount of tweaks and bugs this patch, some of the highlights include a fix for not being able to finish the find passengers achievement, fixes for crocodiles not swimming, fixed issues with some animals not appearing on fire for clients in multiplayer games, switched log sled to use the storage system other structures use, made small cannibal benches and chairs breakable, Improved drinking from ponds and filling water in pots, and a fixed a ton of other small bugs, for the full list see below.
Note: We found an issue right before release, some old traps won’t appear to be resetting, however if you hold down the reset key for 3 seconds they will reset and the new reset UI will appear.
If you are running a dedicated server, you will need to restart your server with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.

Hey Everyone,
This patch adds a new weapon holder type. This can be built by placing the weapon display structure on the ground instead of on a wall, and once built can be used to show off your favourite weapon.
For the turtle shell sled introduced last patch, we improved the 3d model and textures, and also added proper sound design including audio for when airborne.
In multiplayer we’ve fixed the missing sharks, as well as fixed a bunch of sync issues, including some materials not showing correctly, and some items like speared fish or fired arrows not correctly appearing for clients.
The stats page has been worked on further based on feedback from last patch. The bars now
match closer to how the hud displays values and the tutorial pages were re-done to match the new style of the rest of the book. The books tabs were also improved to better match the redesign.
For dedicated servers, we fixed tree regrow not working, fixed water collectors not functioning and also added working ban, unban and kick options for admins of dedicated servers.
We’ve improved the animation transitions when equipping various items and weapons, so there should be less cases of held objects overlapping when quickly switching between items.
All fire types are now destroyable without having to be lit first, Explosive traps can now be triggered by projectile weapons, the deadfall trap has been re-worked to be wider so that it will kill more consistently. We Improved enemy textures to include more spec, some plant textures and models were improved, a new pot model was added replacing the old placeholder one, and we fixed a massive amount of bugs including an issue where killed lizards would tank the frame rate and a major crash issue that could occur in caves and on the way to the sinkhole.
If you are running a dedicated server, you will need to restart your server with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.
