Hello Survivors,
When building a furnace, there are two icons in the crafting menu which are the same. Please only build the one with the title "Furnace" not "Smelter" as the "Smelter" option won't work. We will be releasing a patch for this very soon. In addition, we will now have sticks, stones and bark which can be picked up with bare hands. The bark can be crafted into plant fibre (as well as getting plant fibre directly from bushes). We will also be adding berry bushes into the game, and tweaking the volume of water given by berries, and increasing hydration given by water.
