Our discord server now features a new bot with commands to report bugs and suggest features that will give users a prompt to fill out. These reports will go straight to our development dashboard so we can work fast to address it and provide updates as we go along. Join the discord!

Release Notes

Client players can now interact ride in the HV-1 as passenger, currently only hosting player can drive the vehicle. We are still fixing an issue with the client's ability to drive the vehicle.
Save file stability in new updates has been improved with a new save file upgrading function in the save system.
Breaking tree stumps will no longer break multiplayer sessions.
Items near other players no longer glow for the local player.
Interaction range has been slightly increased so players can pick up items and interact with objects from a slightly further distance.
Characters will now properly unlock when the player using them disconnects, leaving the character free to be chosen by the next joining player.
Fixed corrupted metal axe icon in the equipped weapon display on the bottom right corner of screen.
Another issue we have recently picked up is the save and load system won't consistently load players back into their position they saved in, instead just go back to spawn. We're investigating the cause for this, but other than that everything else loads correctly.

Release Notes

Major performance stuttering has been fixed. Our next steps will be to achieve a higher FPS.
Added buoyancy to items in lakes, which should rectify the issue of not being able to pick up items under water. Items can be picked up once they have surfaced.
Added a new skill tree for upgrading inventory capacity up to 100, mastery level lets players keep their toolbar items after death.
Added repair functionality to the building hammer, allowing the player to repair damaged structures using 1 wood log per third of maximum health of the building object.
Changed Toolbar UI placement in the inventory item window to be more prominent, with an added header.
Adjusted spawnrates of soldiers, wildlife, helicopter patrols, and boats. Let us know if these rates need further tweaking.
Soldier's attack priority between players and buildings has been adjusted to prioritise the player more. Let us know if they still tend to target buildings more.
Removed forced opening prologue for first time players. You will now only be prompted once when clicking play in the menu, asking if you wish to play the prologue or not.
Trees now fall in the direction the player is facing when chopping them.
Fixed missing stump texture underneath cut trees.
Menu screen buttons now hightlight when hovering the mouse over and clicking.
Fixed a bug where The Trader NPC would spontaneously attack the player.
Added a check to prevent removing items from furnaces/campfires if the player's inventory is full.
Soldiers/Wildlife will no longer take damage from vehicles that have no players inside, and the minimum impact damage has been increased so they don't die too easily when touching vehicles.
Ongoing Improvements

Performance drop while wielding building hammer.
UI Markers clipping out after 1000m.
HV-1 Interaction for client players.
Still looking for any further multiplayer bug reports so that we may address them promptly.
