Greetings, bushcrafters!
This update brings some new features, improvements, and refinements based on continued development towards the full game. From environmental additions to deeper gameplay mechanics, here's what's been added and changed in this version.
Regarding the full game the flood and drought systems have been reworked. During the drought players will struggle to find food and water, so preparing this period is essential. Flood will destroy all the structures built by the player from its way. Both of these are optional and can be turned off when starting a new custom game or choosing easier difficulty.
Surviving winter brings new challenges and opportunities. A dynamic snow system blankets the landscape, gradually building up and affecting movement — but it can be cleared when needed. Lakes and rivers freeze over, allowing for ice fishing as a vital source of food. However, resources are scarcer, temperatures are harsher, and only the well-prepared will endure the long cold season.

New Features:
- Cordage crafting update - Cordage crafting has been reworked to reflect the broader availability of plant-based materials in nature. A new raw material, plant fiber, is now essential for crafting cordage. - Plant fiber can be gathered by harvesting roots or removing plant foliage from the ground. - The fiber yield from roots varies depending on the harvesting method (using a knife provides better results than collecting by hand).
- Fishing update - You can now catch fish using a fishing rod. - Ice fishing is available during winter, allowing year-round fishing opportunities. - New fish species have been added, with different bodies of water offering unique combinations. - Future updates will introduce bait options and further fishing enhancements.
- Tree Felling Update - All tree types can now be chopped down. - Tall trees yield 3 large logs, while smaller trees provide 2. - Be careful! Falling trees can injure the player if you're standing underneath. - A falling tree may knock over nearby trees, creating a chain reaction.
Minor Updates & Fixes:
- To complement the reduced movement during strong winds, immersive wind sound effects have been added.
- A new visual meter displays gained experience more clearly.
- Moss can now be found growing on bedrock surfaces if lucky. Keep an eye out for large, static rocks with visible moss as clues.
- The firemaking interface now clearly shows what’s required. Whether you need tinder, a firestarter, or both.
- Minor UI improvements
- Minor bug fixes
Thank you for your support, and happy surviving!
