April the first is the day of two holidays in the western world. We decided to give a nod to them by adding a little of our own feel of them in-game! :)
We’ve added a long-awaited fix for the horse stamina system, along with a few tweaks to the horses’ combat mechanics along with combat mechanics in general.
The FOV console/mod exploit is no more, so you can no longer expect to get sniped from a couple of -ahem- not-so-favorable players.
Oh! We’ve also patched in the ability to rename unmovable objects on your base. That is the basis for our upcoming update, which should introduce per object rules management system to you guys!
Patch Notes (ver. 0.11.17.3):
