It's been awhile since we've touched base - we really appreciate everyone who has stuck around for the many years of XERA: Survival's development.

Hotfix 1.2.5 fixes a few additional bugs that came up over the past week as well as some vendor adjustments for game balancing.
We appreciate everyone that's been submitting reports when you encounter a bug as it's helping us to take action quickly. Please continue reporting any bugs you encounter at https://forms.gle/zNQ8VhjH7LvvaMt17.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue causing some people to not be able to log in with steam and being forced to an Epic Games login (Note: If you continue to experience this, please email our support team at [email protected])
Fixed an issue allowing for floating planter boxes Fixed an issue allowing more than 20 planter boxes to be placed per land claim
Vendor Rebalance
Seeds can no longer be purchased from a vendor (Note: Seeds are found at the farms location and are fairly common to find) Increased the selling value for gemstones
Anti-cheat
The use of Bloody software has been blocked due to the ability to abuse the software to gain an unfair advantage through the use of recoil scripts being ingested. When joining servers, if you are using Bloody hardware, all software associated with Bloody must be closed prior to launching the game.
We've received reports from some players that the lockpicks ui is not accepting mouse input when trying to use a lockpick (ex. the pick sticks when moving your mouse left and right but doesn't move). Our team is investigating this issue and we believe it could be related to network lag when using the lockpick or if any game files have been modified. If you are experiencing this, be sure that you have not modified any game files or changed any keybindings from outside the game. If you are experiencing high ping, we would recommend seeing if this issue occurs on a server where you get lower ping. Be sure to send any feedback/reports through the bug report form mentioned above.

Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue causing some rocks to not be destroyed when hitting them with a pickaxe Fixed an issue causing some rocks to not drop materials when hitting them with a pickaxe Fixed an issue with pot campfires not allowing eggs to be put in them. Added missing pickup button to Water Collectors Added missing pickup button to Planter Boxes Fixed a bug causing base floors to collapse when a storage crate or other deployable objects were picked up Fixed a bug causing eggs to spawn in animal traps instead of rabbit meat Fixed a bug causing chicken coops to not spawn eggs Fixed a bug causing the lockpicks UI to sometimes get stuck if multiple lockpicks were being used and the player was experiencing network lag Fixed a bug causing players near the farms to sometimes spawn under the map. Fixed a map bug in one area where terrain seams were incorrectly rendering Fixed a bug causing the map UI to not properly render on low settings
Known Issues
Sometimes when shift dragging items to transfer them to/from a storage container, clicking outside of the Quantity To Transfer box then hitting esc will cause the Quantity To Transfer UI to stick on your screen. A partial fix has been put in place to allow users to hit Alt+tab when you are in windowed or borderless windowed mode which will enable you to use your mouse cursor to click on the cancel button to close the UI without needing to restart your game. A full fix is planned for a future patch.
Auto-running while swimming cases your camera to be in free look and does not allow you to control movement with your mouse. Keyboard movement still works fine. We recommend not using auto-run while swimming if this is an issue for you as a fix is not planned at the moment.
Picking Algae can sometimes be difficult around the islands - A fix for this is planned in the future. For now it is suggested to try picking Algae in shallow areas around the islands where the water isn't as deep. Going into first person by hitting c by default makes this a bit easier.

We’re excited to release patch 1.2.3 - Islands and Farms Update! In this patch more than 80 new items have been added to the game along with new areas to explore, swimming, new craftables and more! There have also been quite a few bug fixes in this patch along with some changes to the in game vendors as we continue expanding upon this system.
We have also enabled an XP Boost weekend for this weekend which will run until Monday, August 5th. All players will receive double xp during this event and season pass holders will receive triple xp.
Patch Notes 1.2.3
General
Modified engine configuration that should help with hitching when levels unload Increased max fps (for 'display' option to 500 fps) Increased Premium Listing Fee to 100 x-coin for premium listings on the Survivor Exchange (was 25)
Skins
Added new country helmet skins to the in game cosmetics shop Implemented helmet skins in game (There will be an additional assortment released on the Season 8 Season Pass)
Lockpicking
New lockpick system implemented, some objects will now require the lockpick item to unlock ATMs now require lockpick, difficulty is scaled by how much cash it contains (Jackpot being highest difficulty) Safes now require lockpick, difficulty is scaled by how much cash it contains (Jackpot being highest difficulty) New treasure chests found at island bandit camps will require lockpicks Lockpicking is done by moving your mouse to the left or right, then hold a to attempt to pick the lock as shown in the video below.
Added new swimming system allowing players to swim in water unlocking the new island areas to be explored Vehicles can no longer enter water and will explode if they do so
UI
Added 'Press E to loot all' from containers Ping on map UI will now use assigned 'ping' keybind instead of middle mouse button Improved helicopter transporter UI Changed 'refresh' button on server list to be refreshable every 1s Added current weather conditions to HUD Removed decimal from ping location indicator Fixed an issue that caused hair to clip through helmets in inventory preview Updated vendor UI
Map Updates
New islands have been released along with bandit compounds full of loot and heavily guarded Farms area has been completely revamped with it’s own special loot table for the farms Base building has been blocked around bridges - This was necessary with the vehicles being updated to no longer be able to be driven through water as was mentioned in a previous announcement. Bases that are currently blocking bridges are subject to removal by the admin team as prior notice was given that these bases would no longer be allowed
Turrets
Adjusted damage multiplier from 0.2 to 0.15 (making them slightly harder to destroy)
In Game Vendors
Fixed a bug that was causing vendors to under pay for some items that are not sold by the vendor normally Added vendor prices to all new items Increased the price vendors pay for Meteorite Dust (Note: this is a temporary change as Meteorite Dust will be used for weapon upgrading in the future) Added crops and seeds to the vendors for purchasing (Note: not all crops and seeds can be bought from a vendor and some must be found at the new farms area) Added higher level weapons to the vendor (Note: the price displayed in the vendor is the base price for that weapon, and the final price is dependent upon your character’s level and the rarity level of the weapon being purchased)
New Items
Added 30 different crops and 30 different crop seeds that can be grown using planting boxes - These can be found at the Farms - Note: Crops that are being grown will have their progress reset on server restarts. As this is still experimental, we will be looking at a solution to this in the future. Added new craftable items including Planter Box, Beehives, Chicken Coop, Barbed Wire traps, and Landmines Added Base Lights in an assortment of colors Added new food items including fried egg, crops that can be grown and consumed, and more Added Coral, Sponges, and Seaweed that can be found in the ocean areas
Weapons
Added knife melee weapon

Vehicles can no longer be driven through water and will be destroyed upon entering water Adjusted AMV physics collisions Added vehicle spawn to prison Implemented fix to help with vehicle spawning under the map on map load Fixed an issue with player exit location on disconnect / force client close Fixed ATV Storage Fixed AMV Storage Fixed Buggy Storage Added Horn rebind option to settings menu
Wildlife/Animals
Added farm animals to the farms area - Note: This is experimental and more wildlife is planned to be added to other areas of the map in the future. Improved the AI system for wildlife
Crafting
Added ability to add favorite recipes Added crafting recipes for Planter Box, Beehive, Chicken Coop, Barbed Wire Traps, Base Lights, Landmines, and more!
Bug fixes
Fixed an issue causing some overlapping of base parts as well as floating parts in some edge cases. Note: This is experimental and we still have more work being done to prevent players from being able to stack walls and doors against each other for base building Fixed an issue where vendors were not paying the proper amount for items Fixed an issue causing players that are disconnected while in a vehicle to be spawned under the map Fixed an issue with storage on vehicles

Greetings Survivors, We have an important announcement regarding no-build zones.
The upcoming patch has 7 additional "no build zones", if you have a base in these areas it is recommend that you move it before the patch is deployed.
This is due to bridges becoming choke-points, as vehicles will not be able to enter water, and the terrain has been lowered along the rivers in preparation for the new swimming mechanic. Highlighted below are the areas that will no longer be build-able zones after the next patch.
We usually only make changes to no build zones and terrain between seasons to avoid this issue, but since we are near the end of the season - this change is coming into effect.
We are wrapping up testing and completing the next patch and anticipate the next patch will be released later this week.
With the release of the upcoming Farms and Islands Patch, and in preparation for enabling cross-play with users from the Epic Games Store and migration to EOS Anti-Cheat, we have also created an FAQ regarding the integration of Epic Online Services which will be a requirement for the game to function going forward.
Rest assured we have made this a seamless process and we want to assure our players that an Epic Games account is not required in order to play the game through steam.
