Howdy folks, we have some big demo updates to share based on all your nifty feedback:
👋 We’ve removed the Nearby tab entirely and replaced it with a simpler system:
Hold Spacebar to see a larger thumbnail and name of the nearest object, along with its interaction options.
Use A/D or Left/Right Arrow to scroll through other nearby objects.
Mouse-only players can hover over objects to see their thumbnail and name, then right-click for interaction options. Arrow buttons let you browse nearby objects.
Joystick/d-pad players can hold A (or main interaction button) and use joystick to scroll through nearby objects.
This keeps the inventory/backpack cleaner and makes interacting with nearby objects much faster and clearer.
🪓 We also tweaked the inventory/backpack space, adding tool slots (and shortcuts) to the side for items you use frequently. This frees up a couple of inventory spaces and allows you to equip a particular item like the steel axe over the hatchet.
🏹 It also allows you to quickly go into aim mode for your bow with the number 1 button on keyboard and RT on gamepad.
👻 You can now place your crafted structure more precisely. Use the "ghost outline" when crafting and arrow keys to move it into the perfect place.
🔥 The fire pit, spit, tripod has been combined into one, so that you don't need a separate fire to cook a soup or roast.
Plus there's a bunch of minor bug fixes to boot. Thanks a bunch for playing and providing all the helpful feedback.
Catch ya in the wild,
Wombats
