There are new discoveries to find! Hidden throughout the world are forgotten areas that contain records of what inhabited them. Before, it was enough to recover a tablet or scroll to unlock new crafting recipes, but for some you must uncover clues from these lost places first.
While chapter 3 is still in the works, the full set of iron armor and weapons is out. You'll only find the iron you need under the forest in explore/multiplayer mode, but iron may creep back into existing parts of the world. Recipes to give you more options when cooking food have also been added.
This update integrates the game further with controller support using Steam. If you've had controllers that didn't work quite right before, they may now. Big Picture support has also been added, the game is aware when you use it and lets you do things like reach the Steam controller configuration menu from inside the game.
The engine running LandTraveller has received several performance upgrades and may run smoother. The actual speed of everyone has been increased as well. Remember, your enemies will be moving faster too!
