Alpha Version 0.3.10a Update Released

0.3.10 has arrived! This latest update is a mix of fancy new additions and fixes.
Stealth kills are back! Use stealth to sneak behind your enemies and take them out with deadly precision.
Back at your base, be sure to try out the new buildable Tanning Rack. Producing leather can be hard work, so make use of your Tanning Rack to convert your hard-earned hide into good quality leather - ideal for crafting.

While hunting though, beware. New, foul, spore-infested nests have been sighted across Hanouten. The new nests have been designed to match into their environment. For example, you may now find a nest on the side of the road where fungal spores have overtaken the back of a van. Keep your eyes peeled!

Developer Comment:
It would be advisable to start a fresh game as some mechanics, craftables and items may be bugged or not be available if using out of date game saves.
