We've been working hard on a new update the past few weeks. There are many new features, and many bug fixes in this update. We worked on stability and optimization as our main focus. Our MP Dedicated servers should also be much more stable now. And we've buffed Digging to be much faster.
- Please note that due to internal changes in our engine we had to once again reset the saves.
Here is an list of the new features:
- Loot vats. There are 3 loot vats now in the world, you will see a beam of light from them, this notifies the players of a loot delivery. However, loot is only delivered to these vats periodically, so its first come, first serve.
- New Creatures, we've put in the Beedle, the Belcher, and the Prowler. Beware of the prowler, they are very strong.
- Alien Forest Biome, get lost in the new alien biome, it can be very foggy.
- Harvestable plants, you can now harvest certain natural plants and resources from the ground by hitting "E" next to them.
- Sonar Probe and Radar Turret, You can now equip yourself to have both mobile and static radar capabilities. This will help warn you of creatures and players in the nearby area.
- Compass, find out where you are going. It will also show the placement of your protective spire on it to help you find your base.
- New Big Chainsaw, cuts through meat and wood much faster.
- New Beacon light
- Repair Gun, repairs all your objects using utility ammo.
Aside from the new features, as mentioned above, we have been working very hard on optimization and bug fixes. We hope to have stabilized the servers a great deal. We've also done a full pass on all the shaders and graphics in our game and tweaked and tuned them for the different graphics settings, you should be able to run our game on many more computers now on the fastest settings then you could before.
