Hello, I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring. Now that we have finally got most of the features of EOS to the current standard. I have had more time to focus on gameplay and balance. Our team has expanded now and it is starting to show off in bigger updates. I'm very optimistic about what the future will hold for the game!

Wipes
Nilsson
NOTE: wipes only affect official servers with a blue checkmark. Unofficial servers can choose and decide their own wipes.
Now because house decay has been implemented we want to move the bi-weekly wipe to a monthly wipe. So the next wipe after today will be in 17.6.2022
House Decay
Nilsson
I added a second tab to the workbench window, this one is called decay. The idea is not to make it like a job to keep your house running. Now the house "consumes" 1 wood in 3 hours. Max capacity it can hold is 60. And once the wood has run out the house needs to be without wood for 24 hours before it decays. This makes it take about 7 days for a house to decay if there is no upkeep. Keep in mind that this can be disabled with the same setting that disables tent decay. Also, houses will not decay if the server is off.
I want to hear your feedback about this so comment down below what you think about this!
Placing helpers
Nilsson
I added the first two helper shapes while placing the turret and tent. The turret now shoots only players who walk to the house area. I wanted to add an indication element that better illustrates this area. Here are pictures of this in action
Dedicated server tool on steam and video tutorial
Nilsson
I always wanted to Longvinter to be something that can be easily experienced with friends. I have now created a full tutorial on how to setup the server and configure it!
Placeable electricity generator
Nilsson
There is now a peaceable generator in the kyrre's equipment shop that you can buy and place near your house. This will require fuel to run and generates 40 electricity while near a house. Please note that an electricity transmitter is required in order for turrets to work.
Here are all the changes in a nice list format:
New features:
- Added turret range indicator when placing the turret.
- Added base building area indicator while placing a tent
- Added House decay to the bases. - Decay wood stack will have 60 wood and it takes 3 hours to consume 1 wood - After all, wood is decayed, it will take 24 hours before base is destroyed. All items inside the house will be gone but outside placeables can be picked up by others - This can be disabled with tentDecay server parameter
- Added generator placeable which generates 40 electricity while turned ON. Note that house requires electricity transmitter for turrets to work
Balance changes:
- Increased cake base price by 50% to make it worth more than the ingredients
- Made Redfish and Black Grouper from Rare to Epic they don't spawn in Julia’s Mysterios shop anymore
- Increased Metal parts base price from 20mk to 100mk
- Removed Mysterios bag from spawning into Julia’s Mysterios shop
- Made Julia’s Mysterios items selling and buying price increase / decrease much faster when players buy items from the vendor. This makes it that the first person who arrives to shop after catalogue reset is rewarded more. This allows other users to buy / sell to vendors but with a heavy price increase. This is the same system that is on other vendors but on overdrive.
- Electricity changes: - Removed passive 30 electricity - Changed house fuel generator output from 80 → 110 - Changed Win turbine output from 30→ 50 - Changed solar panel output from 20 → 25
