Hello Players!
This new patch is a minor update with the focus on improving different gameplay features, turning legacy movement into the new unreal engine enhanced system and UI changes!
In regards to the new input system, there has been a change to the use of the Interaction Key F. Previously, placing resources on structures would use Input E (default) and collecting resources would use Input F (default). The new changes in this patch now lets you place AND collect with the use of Input E (default). To help remember this, the UI has also been changed temporarily to 2D where it showcases which key to use for different interactions as shown in the example below.
This patch also involves changes in the highlighted object system. Previously, the whole cart, resource racks and campfire would be highlighted for interaction, and while that worked well for the cart and resource racks, it did no favors for the campfire that was equipped with a Kettle. Resources in carts and on the resource racks and the Kettle are now individually highlighted when hovered and display their own interaction UI.
As usual, you can find the full Update Overview below. The next updates will have focus on a new and improved AI system, building modularity, shader optimization and story advancements.
