Developer posts and news about this game.
World and resources Roads: roads on Origins now collide exactly where you see them. The invisible bumps and raised edges are gone, and you can walk and drive up onto a road from the verge. Wood and stone: about a quarter more wood, stone and plant fibre lies on the ground around
Language Spanish: the game is now available in Spanish. Choose Español under Settings > General > Language. Inventory and trading Storage: crates, vehicle storage and other containers use the full height of the screen, so more of their rows show at once. Opening one now loo
Inventory and trading Inventory camera: opening a crate, station or device no longer swings the camera around you, and opening your own inventory moves the camera out twice as fast. Inventory buttons: the storage buttons (Take all, Deposit all, Organise and the rest) are back in
Watercraft Watercraft kits: craft a Tyre Raft by hand, or craft a Camo, Red or White Dinghy, an Inflatable Boat or a Wooden Rowboat at a Crafting Bench or buy one from a trader. Deploy them on clear, deep enough water, then pack an empty, stopped boat back into its kit. Boats are
Turrets and base Defence Turrets: craft and place four defensive turrets: the Primitive Ballista, M2 Browning, Minigun and TADS. Switch them on or off and load their ammunition, and they defend your base against hostile players and creatures while leaving you, your squad, traders
Performance and joining Rubberbanding: the server no longer freezes for a moment about once a minute while it saves players, the main cause of rubberbanding. Server performance: killing AI after looting, eating, drinking, using medical items and electricity saves do less work on
Server performance Server lag: servers with large worlds no longer stall for a moment several times a second while saving. Electricity, loot areas, AI populations, construction, crafting, containers, respawn points and the job board no longer reread or rewrite large parts of the
Survival and crafting Primitive First Aid Kit: craft a three-use kit by hand from plant fibre cloth and rope, duct tape, plastic or wood. Each eight-second treatment restores 15 HP and stops all bleeding, while trauma, fractures and sickness remain. Find it uncommonly in civilian
Combat and handling Hits on moving targets: the server now checks your shot against where the target was on your screen when you fired (up to a quarter of a second back), so shots at running players, creatures and vehicles land where you aimed. Scopes: while you aim through a mag
Server performance Server lag: servers no longer keep loading and unloading parts of Origins around vehicles parked at player bases. This ran even with nobody near those bases and caused lag and rubber banding for everyone on the server. Player bases: bases load in gradually as y
Electricity Electricity: electrical devices can now be crafted in the Electrical category: generators, solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, cables, switches, splitters, combiners, wall and ceiling lights, speakers, laser detectors, pressure plates and flamethrower traps. The V
Trading and economy Traders sell finished goods: traders no longer sell raw or processed materials. Ores, coal, nitrate, sulphur, crude and refined oil, ingots, gunpowder and its mixture, electronics, wire, nails, pegs, rope, duct tape, cloth, plastic, glass and scrap metal are g
Health and medical Natural recovery: your health now comes back on its own, 2 health a minute, starting 60 seconds after you last took damage. Untreated bleeding, very low hunger or thirst, dangerous cold or heat and running out of air stop it; being hungry, thirsty, sick, cold,
Injuries and medical Injuries: damage now lands on one of six body parts: head, torso, both arms and both legs. A hurt part slows you down in its own way: a hurt leg slows your walk and makes sprinting cost more, a hurt arm makes weapons slower to handle and your aim less steady,
Crafting and inventory Crafting: crafting now lives in one place, the crafting guide. Pick any item to see everything about it, what makes it and where it is found, then craft 1, 5, 25 or as many as you can afford right there. Pin recipes to keep them at the top of the list and o
Bases Loading into your base: a door, hatch or shutters that had shifted off its frame (for example after upgrading the frame) could stop your world loading and send you back to the main menu. Such doors now settle back onto their frames, and a part that can't be restored is set
Saves New save system: worlds and characters move to a new, sturdier save system. The first time a server or one of your local worlds starts on this update it converts its saves, so that first load takes a little longer. Nothing is lost or reset. If a world can't be opened safely
Weapons and combat Scopes: aiming through a magnified scope now shows a full-screen sight picture: a clear circle with the world around it blurred and darkened smoothly toward the edges. The scope model and your hands drop away as soon as the view comes up. All the magnified reti
Equipment Hold a hotbar or equipment key to pick from your carried items: a wheel for small selections, a scrolling grid for larger ones. Each choice shows a short name and its durability. Release over an item to select it, or release outside to cancel; quick taps keep their usua
World, Furniture and Loot Loot crates: crates no longer appear on planters, bushes or other plants, or hanging over the edges of tables, ledges and steps Household loot: kitchen cupboards lean toward food, drinks, cooking items and fuel, medicine chests toward medical supplies an
