Greetings Survivors,
In this patch we have addressed several balancing issues as well as implemented fixes for some community reported bugs. We appreciate everyone reporting things you find to us and please continue to do so via our bug report form located at https://forms.gle/zNQ8VhjH7LvvaMt17.
Also we are aware that some users are experiencing longer than normal patch times. We are looking into this issue and are working towards a fix.
Update: We are aware that land claims and other objects cannot be placed in water, this has been fixed internally and will be pushed in the next patch.
