A smaller update addressing a few quality of life issues raised over the past while as we enter the holiday season. There has been a lot of feature work going on behind the scenes that isn't quite ready for release yet, and I can share more details about all of this soon. One of these is the character customization system with a much more finalized looking male character along with a new female character. German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations are in the works and will be ready in the next week or so.
I plan to send out a more detailed 2025 roadmap very soon with more concrete timelines of various features and content, so stay tuned! I know that the speed of feature/content addition has been very slow given the tiny size of the team and I apologize for that, but if you currently enjoy the game and the direction it's heading in, know that there is so much planned and that I will stop at nothing to get the game to the greatest it can be over the next few years.
Happy Holidays!
Additions:
- Added an often-requested transfer amount popup when moving item stacks or filling containers. You can hold shift when dragging then releasing an item stack to another slot (or press Y on an XBox controller) to open a transfer amount popup that lets you fine tune how much to transfer. This is also shown when filling a container with another, allowing you to select the exact amount of liquid to transfer
- Added a proper terrain levelling function to the shovel (default Ctrl + left click). An indicator will appear showing the height and range of the levelling process, and this indicator will snap to certain height steps to allow for more obvious terrain planning for your camp. Note that this feature won't work if the terrain difference is too steep, so add/remove dirt with the shovel first to be able to level things properly.
- Added a way to snap shelter building pieces to a grid by holding Left Alt (or DPad left on controllers) to better layout your posts and walls. Let me know how this grid feels and if you'd like any changes!
Fixes:
- Fixed queued crafting recipes with liquid outputs (ex. berry juice) continuing even if the destination container is full
- Fixed language change not setting the new language in all places within the game, requiring a game restart
- Fixed French translation issues and missing translations for French/Russian
- Fixed errors when dragging a floor
- Fixed PS5 select button glyph
Other changes:
- Reworked floor placement process to be much less strict about how flat the terrain needs to be to avoid unneeded flattening with shovel after placement. Coupled with the new levelling feature done in advance, you should almost never need to flatten the ground to complete the floor
- Terrain smoothing was moved from Ctrl+left click to Ctrl+right click to allow the new levelling feature to take priority. Smoothing has also been reworked to be much quicker and line up with the digging animation
