Firstly, some AMAZING stuff has been coming out of the community - check this out!

The Survival and Crafting patch (along with a plethora of Creative fixes!) should be going live in the next 24 hours or so. If you're interesting in reading up on the changes, you can find them here:

You can opt in and test the cutting edge branch at any point by selecting FortressCraft, then Properties, then Beta - the internal branch is the bleeding edge, then pre_release_staging allows you access to a slightly more stable branch!
(No, I've no idea why Steam doesn't let me use spaces or capital letters in branch names!)
If you'd like to see more visual aids on the patch, please feel free to check out my twitch page : http://www.twitch.tv/djarcas
I will be regularly playing the game and showing people some of the less obvious part of it!
Multiplayer is still in progress!
