We are taking the servers down and rolling them back up over the next hour in order to process the update, and also rolling out some internal server stability updates. This update should not require a wipe.
Update Notes - Alpha 2:
- Players do not become encumbered by the items they carry (temporarily disabled due to a desync issue that could cause the player to no longer move beyond 10 meters. Were looking into this further.).
- Players, NPCs, and creatures will no longer heal 3 HP / sec for being in water.
- An item with 0 craft time will no longer call itself "already done" and never try to craft.
- The Sawmill now has a crafting time greater than 0.
- Stashes and Shipping Bins are no longer removed on load when they belong to a non-leader member of a communal guild.
- Stashes and Shipping bins will die (instead of the current removal) when you own more than one, allowing them to drop their loot in a temporary sack.
- Wooden chests now have the correct container settings applied to them. They will not be able to hold heavy goods. (This change is destructive, the chest contents will go missing.).
- Barrels and Kerosene Tanks aren't locked.
- Players that disconnect quickly after connecting to a server will no longer create a pair of broken characters on login.
- The "Enable Gamepad Cursor" option is now disabled by default. (For some controllers, this option makes the mouse cursor run off-screen.)
- Decision wheels will no longer accept joystick input while the "Enable Gamepad Cursor" option is disabled.
- Corrected spatial blend on tree impacts so they're properly 3D
- Population limits doesn't allow duplicate characters in parties and won't load them, either. This was preventing servers from restarting properly.
- Dead animals don't keep eating food while dead
- Sheriff's deputy spawns
- Substantially reduced likelihood of shadow flickering
- Improved performance in areas with many chopped trees and bushes
- Improved performance of forest particles
Also - We've uploaded an image of the controls:
