Our latest patch offers new types of binoculars along with gameplay and survival improvements.
Gameplay & Survival
We have improved the furniture destruction mechanics, with broken pieces now taking up a different number of slots in your inventory. The mountain top is also now visible on the map; what you do with that information, though, is entirely up to you.
Items
Well, Go Wayback! is a hardcore survival game after all, and we thought that our previous binoculars made things a tad too easy for you folks! Therefore, we have introduced five different binocular types. You can find some features such as range finding in one, zoom in another, but almost never together. And the old ones, even though they still remain in the game, now have much more limited functionality. So, good luck, I guess?
UI & Visuals
We may have made things a bit harder for you with the Binocular update, but there are things we simplified too. Map icons are updated to help you navigate more easily.
World & Environment
With this patch, we have also refined the way clouds move. You'll now see storms sweeping across the horizon, creating a more realistic weather transition.
