Hey Everyone,

This patch fixes some small issues that have come up since the last patch release.

We also added a new option for increased player versus player damage in multiplayer games. This option is off by default, but if turned on will allow players to more easily kill each other.

  • Fixed a performance issue when transitioning from day to night when using high or very high shadow option
  • (Balance) Tweaked amount of damage one of the late game creatures can do to structures
  • (Balance) Lowered amount of protection from creepy armor
  • Fixed snow stumps popping in too soon
  • Fixed missing pickup icon on rabbit in a cage
  • Fixed hang glider unusable after completing alternate ending
  • Fixed hang glider disappearing after saving and loading while holding the glider
  • Fixed chance plants grown in gardens could be removed randomly
  • (Multiplayer) Fixed a performance issue with rock paths in big saves
  • (Multiplayer) Added option for increased player to player damage in multiplayer games
  • (Multiplayer) Players can now set each other on fire with fire weapons

Edit:
v.1.11b
  • Added a fix for some players experiencing freezing on loading new or saved games after downloading latest patch
  • Fixed small menu translation issue
  • Fixed issue where player could take extra bomb damage in single player if mp increased damage was enabled

About This Game

As the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash, you find yourself in a mysterious forest battling to stay alive against a society of cannibalistic mutants.

Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator.

Key features


Enter a living, breathing world, where every tree and plant can be chopped down. Below ground explore a vast network of caves and underground lakes.

  • Chop down trees to build a camp, or start a fire to keep warm. Scavenge food to keep yourself from starving.
  • Build a small shelter or a large ocean side fortress. Lay traps and defences to keep a safe perimeter.
  • Explore and build during the day. Defend your base at night. Craft weapons and tools. Bunker down during the evening or bring the fight directly to the enemy.
  • Defend yourself against a clan of genetic mutant enemies that have beliefs, families, morals and that appear almost human.
  • Use stealth to evade enemies, or engage them directly with crude weapons built from sticks and stones.
