Thank you to everyone who has been playing and providing feedback. We've released a small update focused on improving the claim system, increasing wildlife, and making building more flexible.
The biggest change is to how land claims work. Players can now place a Campsite anywhere in the world and upgrade it over time to expand their claim size. Once a claim is established, any building type can be placed within its boundaries. We've also removed the previous pre-set building locations, giving players the freedom to build wherever they choose. Be sure to pick a location with access to the resources you need.
Changes & Fixes
Increased wildlife spawning throughout the world.
Added more rabbits to provide additional hunting opportunities for new players.
Fixed wells so they can be placed on Campsite claims and all other land types.
Added an instant 30 Health restore when using Bandages.
Added an instant 30 Thirst restore when drinking from a Waterskin.
Removed overheating when standing near fires (temporarily).
Reworked the claim system:
Build a Campsite anywhere.
Upgrade your claim to expand its size.
Place all building types within your claim.
Updated many item icons to better match the game's world and style.
Press M to open the World Map.
Improved building placement to allow construction on more uneven terrain.
We appreciate all the feedback and will continue making improvements as we move through Early Access.
Important: Due to the major changes made to the world and claim system, some existing saves may not function correctly. We strongly recommend starting a fresh game to ensure you experience all the new features and changes as intended.
