Game Update #31, Build 0.8.3.91 is live only for Beta!

WARNING

This update is only for the Beta. The Beta allows you to play on the Islands of Tarvhas which runs on the 5.3 Unity engine. After the content is all functional, we will move the Beta build to the default branch (the main build). At that point, the Sundered Isles will be moved to a legacy branch for those that want to use your old saves. Remember to check the Known Issues section at the bottom of this post for any problems that are known about within this build. Thank you for your patience during this time as we rapidly update the game weekly.

Big Changes:

New Enemy: Kiilot
New Item: the Bin of Trashing!

New Features & Patches Notes:

The newest enemy to be found in these Savage Lands is a killot. You might be able to find these fearsome light skinned colored beasts in the newly thickened forests on Freydalyn.

New Buildable: the Bin of Trashing! Throw your unwanted items into this bin, and after a short period of time they will be destroyed PERMANENTLY, use at your own risk! Each item thrown into the bin resets the deletion timer which is currently set a 1 minute.
