Aloha Thrivers!

With your amazing help and support our Kickstarter campaign has already reached 78% of our goal but we need to keep the momentum going all the way to the finish line.

One thing we’ve heard from the community is that you want options focused on Steam keys and quick access. We heard you loud and clear and have introduced 3 simpler backer tiers, focused less on in-game items and more on keys.

We’ve always counted on you to help us create the survival game of our dreams and with your backing we’re one step closer to making that goal a reality. With the new options available we hope to see many more of you having fun surviving the horrors of the jungle and sharing your great ideas soon!

This was a busy week full of streams, and fixing bugs and implementing suggestions from our testers but we did include some updates to the PVE area and our AI. Check out what we’ve been working on below and some more beautiful shots submitted by our players since our last update.


About a week ago we expanded the safe zone around the Thorcon power plant into a larger PVE zone to help provide an area for freshly restored clones to get the lei of the land and learn basic game mechanics.

It’s a temporary fix for a complex conversation about PvPvE we’re having with everyone we get the chance to have it with. There’s no silver bullet to solving it and the more voices we’ve got in the mix, the better. We hope you’ll add your thoughts to our discord chats and keep on asking the tough questions.



This week we continued to make improvements and made sure to fix a few small problems that popped up. Players in the PVE zone won’t have to worry about coconut grenades anymore since we’ve defused them.

Players don’t have to worry about others shooting out their walls while standing just on the other side of the PVE border now and surprise cannibals showing up in your base won’t be an issue anymore.

We also added a few adjustments to how totems work. Totem permissions are now greyed out unless the totem has energy. Players can only place one new totem in PVE zones and bases there can only consist of 4 totems total as well.

Like we’ve said before, we get that balancing mechanics both PVE and PVP players enjoy is one of the biggest challenges facing us ahead and we’re nowhere near done experimenting and testing things out.

We’re trying out a few ideas but with your help, we’ll arrive somewhere in Hawaii where everyone survives and thrives in a way they find the most fun.


The mutants were unusually rowdy this week and we made a lot of improvements to how they move, spawn, and work together.



One of the big ones was AI navigation updates so the bunching issues that we were experiencing when large groups of mutants are charging towards you looking for a meal are a thing of the past.

With any luck, you won’t see mutants getting stuck on corners or failing to attack doors anymore. We’ve fixed a problem with AI not activating when a player is near and while it may seem obvious to you and me, we taught the mutants not to attack the stairs they are standing on now.

The AI spawning system got a little love this week too. We made some fixes to how the spawning system works so the mutants will stop spawning inside trees, walls, and rocks or on top of things. We tried asking nicely to get off the roof, but they just wouldn’t listen!



We also fixed how many mutants will show up for a siege since it seemed like many of them weren’t getting the invitation before, and we squashed a bug with AI spawning (or not spawning) in our dungeons. The dark and forgotten places on the map are a lot more fun to explore if there are actually things to fight there.

Here’s everything else new and improved and fixed this week.

Aloha Thrivers!

Our Kickstarter campaign began this week and we couldn’t be more excited and humbled by all the love and support the community has shown us.

We’ve always counted on you to help us create the survival game of our dreams and with your backing we’re one step closer to making that goal a reality. But we’re not quite there yet. We’re counting on you to help spread the word to your friends and family, far and wide. Let’s keep the momentum going and ride this wave all the way to the Lahaina of our dreams...or nightmares depending on which mutant you encounter along the way!

To help celebrate Kickstarter week we thought we’d share some of the work we’ve done improving the horrors of the jungle, some veil travel concepts, and some beautiful shots of the incredible bases that were built by our players since our last update.

The mutants are always ready to feast, just don’t forget to light their bodies on fire or else you’ll be on the menu. We made a number of improvements and fixes to ensure that players have something to fear from the local monster population but also don’t just have a mutant spawn right next to them out of nowhere. Everyone loves a good sneak attack, but it wasn’t a fair fight for some players so we squashed that bug.

We also went ahead and fixed some issues with AI navigation, updated how and where they can spawn in, improved ranged AI, and reduced the length of the Kasha’s ringing noise after a scream to avoid stunning players in real-life. You will notice we fixed an issue with Green Snatchers getting caught in burrow-unburrow loops that must have been awful for their claws, and made some updates to the island’s cannibals (aka neck-brace Annabelles as we like to call them).



The Fracture wiped out civilization and devastated life on the planet but we’ve always planned on letting players rebuild the system in the game and travel between worlds to experience slightly different environments and loot.

Since launching the Kickstarter, we’re working hard to further develop and show off how players will be able to travel between unique worlds. Like we also say, actions in Fractured Veil have consequences, so it's important for us to demonstrate that what players do in the game wouldn’t just affect themselves, their surroundings, and their server anymore, but a whole multiverse of interconnected servers. We’re not nearly there yet, but it’s an exciting time and the early stages of how and what that multiverse travel will be.



Our idea is that each world can have its own culture, ecology, and history eventually. Players will be able to trade between worlds, not just communities, and find realities perfect for playing with their friends and play styles, assuming of course that the whole thing doesn’t come crashing down again. Here’s an exclusive peek at concept art of what it might look like when the veils open up.


Veilcorp is not responsible for any deviations from early concepts or injuries resulting from Veil travel. Void where prohibited.

• Added visibility checks to the loot menu
  
• Tool quest and twine quest added and updated
  
• Removed ladder sphere overlap checks and updated code to support traces
  
• Improved the AI's navigation

• Cleaned up third-person bow animations for the homemade bow and compound bow
  
• Adjusted all melee weapon hand positions in third person
  
• Added flare gun firing sound
  
• Projectiles that get stuck in enemies will no longer show the pickup particle effect
  
• Improved aim offset smoothness

Fixes
• Potentially fixed AI spawning on top of cars and other areas by further improving the navmesh check used to determine if an AI is ready for activation
  
• Fixed AI occasionally being activated right next to a player which would cause them to be unexpectedly attacked
  
• Fixed vendor bounds issue preventing proper interaction traces
  
• Fixed floating hair on dead bodies
  
• Fixed not being able to loot corpses
  
• Fixed not being able to open the 127 converter UI
  
• Fixed clothing vendors not being interactable
  
• Fixed eating a coconut not granting a coconut shell
  
• Fixed totem UI not updating upkeep cost or time
  
• Potentially fixed a bug where Green Snatchers were unburrowing in a location that got them stuck
  
• Fixed a bug where Green Snatchers would unburrow and then immediately burrow again without attacking or being alerted by a fire
  
• Fixed performance issue in the Throcon due to lights casting dynamic shadows
  
• Fixed bug where players couldn't use the jump key while on ladders to get off
  
• Fixed a bug where ranged AI were unable to properly predict movement velocity if the velocity had negative values in it
  
• Fixed the 127 Detector floating between the player's legs
  
• Fixed coconut canteen alignment in third person.
  
• Fixed skar weapon animations having the mag visible on the floor in third person
  
• Fixed crash when clients would receive quest information before being fully loaded
  
• Fixed bug where multiple key bindings were set to LeftAlt
  
• Fixed arms bending into the torso for multiple animations in third person
  
• Fixed ukupoon not playing sounds
  
• Fixed jumping animations cancelling attack or reload animations
  
• Disabled actor pushing from large fallen trees to fix a severe performance issue that could occur when performing overlap checks

Aloha Thrivers!

Our Kickstarter campaign is less than 24 hours away and we couldn’t be more excited! To help kick things off we thought we’d share all the work we’ve done over the weekend smoothing out gameplay and adding a few new features. Read below to see everything we’ve finished in the last few days.

We expanded the safe zone around the Thorcon power plant into a larger PVE area and added a message in the HUD informing players if they are in a PVP or PVE zone. We made some adjustments to totems in the PVE area so they can only be modified by the owner and made a few other PVE related improvements.



We’ve all experienced what it’s like to get steamrolled by a bunch of griefers when you're just starting out, and this should allow newly restored clones time to get familiar with their surroundings and learn the controls.

We also just added the first round of quests in the game and placed more vendors inside the Thorcon Power Plant.



The addition of quests, on top of everything else there is to do in the game, should be enough to keep all the idle hands busy and eventually lead players to new places to explore for great rewards and XP.

Weapon Improvements
• Adjusted 1911 ADS view to line up with the model better
  
• Updated construction damage values for weapons
  
  AI improvements
  
• Reworked parts of the AI's movement tracking code to potentially fix a bug where AI were able to clip through walls
  
• Added slight buffs to AI further out from Thorcon
  
  
  
  Map Improvements
  
• Improved landscapes around river transitions
  
• Add missing river in 3x4 and rebaked rivers in all tiles
  
• Updated Industrial area
  
• Added Bank to top of comm tower
  
  Loot Updates
  
• Replaced broken loot boxes with destructible ones in the industrial area
  
• Adjusted loot tables to avoid spawning quite as many things in a single container
  
  
  
  Construction Updates
  
• Gave door frames more health than doors
  
• Significantly reduced the chance to get randomly sieged
  
• Arrows and non-weapons will now break when thrown against a construction piece
  
• Thrown weapons will now lose 25% durability when thrown at a construction piece

Fixes
• Fixed construction quests not working.
  
• Fixed starter quest chain
• Fixed bug where dead player pawns weren't being cleaned up and were just accumulating as invisible pawns
• Fixed a bug where AI were unable to attack certain construction pieces that were blocking them
  
• Fixed the MasterVolume value being multiplied by 100x. Restored the Kasha's scream and the Siege's 'siege start' sound to their original volumes
  
• Fixed bug with inactive pawns not loading inventory properly on server restart
• Fixed float rounding error with construction attachments that was making weapons do too much damage
• Fixed performance issue in the Throcon due to lights casting dynamic shadows
• Fixed bug with water catchers triggering quick loot events
• Fixed the item wheel appearing empty on first load

Aloha Thrivers!

We’re back with another update as it’s been super busy over here getting ready for our Kickstarter campaign on September 7.

Players will notice we’ve added a few more terrors of the jungle this week to keep folks on their toes as they explore Maui. We also made huge improvements to a handful of game features, fixed a bunch of bugs, and implemented a mountain of your great suggestions.


It’s Never Boar-ing in Hawaii


Growing huge from the lingering radiation and eating mutant flesh, the island’s Boars definitely don’t have the Aloha spirit and will attack you even when you're just trying to have a nice day at the beach.

Veil Hounds


Did you ever want a giant hairless dog with wet skin who could chew through the side of a house when you were a kid? Well, you got a bunch of them now. The Veil Hounds hunt anything they can catch and do not enjoy belly rubs.

Kashas


These first horribly unsuccessful attempts at restoring clones are not shy about using their words. They don’t do much damage themselves but their screams attract other mutants and can daze players, making them more susceptible to attacks. We still have some cosmetic work to do on them but these mutant Karen’s can be a headache.

Green Snatchers


A combination of everything terrible you can think of, the snatchers can be found all over the map. They lie in wait just below the surface of the ground before springing out to attack anyone who gets too close. If that wasn’t bad enough we plan on improving their camouflage so they blend in better with the plant life around them. Luckily, they’re most active at night and like all nightmares, fire or bright lights can scare them away….at least until the Green Lady arrives to command them.


Since we added a bunch of new threats to your survival, we decided to update one of the oldest dangers to you and your base, the siege system.

Many of you told us that you would like to be able to force a siege on your base. Now you can!



We’ve added a new totem UI that offers the option to make a horde come and attack your base. The number of times you can do this per day is limited by the current tier of your totem, and each subsequent wave is bigger than the last, so be careful what you wish for.



We added a bunch of new animations this week

• Wrench
  
• Shark-toothed pan (Killet)
  
• Player hit reactions
  
• Homemade bow and ADS view
  
• Prone transition
  
• Unarmed prone
  
• Micro-uzi
  
• Ukupoon

Numerous Improvements to AI navigation around other actors, building pieces, terrain, and height differences.

• Added slot and carrying capacity bonuses to clothing items
  
• Added a scroll bar to the main inventory widget
  
• Added stamina bar to the player inventory screen
  
• Filtering items in the inventory will now grey them out instead of hiding them
  
• Added hotbar wheel to multiple container interaction screens
  
• Added recycle button to item description widget
  
• The crafting bench will now try to take ingredient items from the player's inventory

• Increased stamina regen speed
  
• Reduced starving state to 10% hunger from 30%.
  
• Going prone will now unequip all items

• Fixed player corpses not always being lootable
  
• Fixed AI corpse inventories not showing up in the UI
  
• Fixed a bug where AI were unable to attack barricades and barriers
  
• Fixed totems forcing net updates too often
  
• Fixed bug where triangle foundations couldn't be placed on their own
  
• Fixed potential crash when swapping between a melee weapon and a gun really quickly
  
• Fixed throw animations looking jittery in third person
  
• Fixed default FOV always being set to 50 instead of 60
  
• Fixed a bug where the new AI spawning system would occasionally spawn grouped AI inside of nearby actors
  
• Fixed construction meshes not loading on login
  
• Fixed players sometimes not being able to snap construction pieces together
  
• Fixed crash when placing attachments on walls.
  
• Fixed players not being able to upgrade torches into lanterns.

• Fixed a bug where projectile weapons were returning an ever-increasing charge time even when they

Aloha Thrivers,

This is part two of our jammed pack update because last week there were so many improvements that we had to split the update in two parts!

New Features and Content

For the past several months we’ve had one player request more than any other by a wide margin, it’s not even close. You’ve told us, many, many times how badly you wanted exploding coconuts in the game.

We heard you loud and clear...coconuts can now go BOOM.

Main Screen Redesign

If you haven’t logged in for a while you’re in for a nice surprise. We’ve completely redesigned the starting screen.

Not only does it look better but you can check out some interesting character statistics like number of kills, time played, number of people you’ve eaten, distance traveled, quests completed, and chests opened.

Character Customization Update

BEFORE: Some of our OG testers will remember this character screen

AFTER: The new screen has a bit more color and texture to it, making it more Hawaiian and fun. There’s still numerous body type options, but now you can adjust the background and lighting options and turn off the UI to get a better look at your character during the design phase.



You can adjust overall body hair, size, muscle tone, and there are now facial feature options too numerous to count.

There’s even a section to choose what underwear and fanny pack (aka bum bag) options best fit your personal survival style.

Crafting Redesign

We’ve completely redesigned the crafting screen and UI.

BEFORE: Old timers will remember when creating weapons and tools looked like this.


AFTER: The new look/UI is much more intuitive and easier to use.

Research Bench Redesign

We also made some big improvements to the research bench design for all your crafting needs.

The research system still works in pretty much the same way. Take an item you want to be able to craft, add it, the required amount of Rai (money), and energy to the research bench. Wait while the item is being analyzed….

And out pops a blueprint which you can study and learn how to make that item. The process looks better and is a lot easier to navigate and organize now.


We love a good throwback and shared this concept drawing of a gunsmith which will be inside the Thorcon Power Plant, the game’s starting area and future NPC settlement.

There aren’t a lot of options for your gun repair and modification needs after the Fracture, but we still want the Thorcon Gunsmith to run a quality establishment and have been working on the tools of her trade.


We’ve put together drill presses and grinders from ruined pieces and spare bits.




The new dismemberment system gives your mutant head-shots a satisfying and gory ending but that’s not all.



You can also blast off arms...and legs if your aim is true.



Clearing the island of mutants has never been more fun or bloody.





Hawaii offers us so many different types of environments to play with - mountains, jungle, and shores with sandy beaches. But this is the apocalypse people, so it’s time to add a new industrial area where future mutants will emerge and toxicity could be a thing.




Finally, we made some big improvements to another one of our dungeons, the Mines.


We’ve updated the lighting and textures, added props and loot, built some new rooms to explore and added some survivor graffiti to the place




A bunch of mutants have taken over the old tunnels offering a big challenge for anyone trying to explore the upper tunnels or caverns below.



It’s still a work in progress but the top level can be a lot of fun to explore as long as you bring some friends and a lot of bandages.

Aloha Thrivers!

We’ve been hard at work updating the game and integrating your suggestions. Our Kickstarter campaign is just around the corner and we’re excited to share where we see the game heading with the backing of your support. In the meantime, we’ve added a huge amount of new content and upgrades to keep the momentum going. We are breaking up the amount of stuff we’re showing off so we’ll have another update early next week just to cover everything.

Your feedback is super important to us so keep it coming! If you’re interested in helping out, head over to our discord and let us know! We love hearing your ideas and talking about what’s coming up next.

Here’s a look at just some of the biggest improvements players will see and all the fixes we’ve made thanks to our testers.



We’re adding a bunch of vendors to the game's starting area, The Throcon Power Plant. Our goal is to make everything a player might need to survive and thrive for a price available through various vendors.


Here’s a look at one of the latest, an ammo vendor.



We tried out a few different configurations to see what would fit best.


Here is a mock-up of what it would look like inside.

We’ve completely overhauled the inventory to make it better looking and the UI easier to use and more intuitive.


BEFORE: Some of our original testers will recognize the look and feel between the old inventory


AFTER: After getting some feedback, and talking a lot about what works best, this is the new version.

We also updated our vendor screens. After showing mockups and hearing the community’s thoughts, we settled on this design for handling all of your vendor dealings and transactions.


We’ve introduced flare guns in the game. They’re great for signaling other players or distracting the drone if it is focused on you when you’re trying to be stealthy.


They do attract mutants and other players can see them but that can work to your advantage if you have people sneaking around your base with bad intentions during the night.


Of course, if you’re more concerned about aesthetics than tactics, there are very few things more beautiful than being chased by a group of burning mutants.


We’ve made looting a lot more fun by adding a breaking system to the items you find exploring the map.


Bags fall apart.


Crates break up.


Bodies explode into parts and potentially useful items when you hack at them now.


Even the hanging bodies you find around the map fall apart when you damage them enough.


We’re not encouraging you to do it, and you may not like the treats inside, but hitting one of the “mutant pinatas” will make stuff drop out now.

While we were busy making things break in new and interesting ways we decided to add a destruction feature to player constructions because sometimes tearing stuff down can be just as fun as building something up.


Attacks on your base won’t cause your construction pieces to disappear anymore; they actually fall apart.


Sometimes the results can be very dramatic, just look at how much air this piece of foundation gets.


Lastly, we’ve given our sewer dungeon a big facelift and added a few more passages to explore.


The place has come a long way since the days when everyone had one choice of clone.






We’ve improved lighting and textures, added more dangers and rooms to explore, and put a fresh coat of slime on the walls to make your time down there as enjoyably horrifying as possible.


Mahalo to our testers who help us find what’s not working and what can be improved in the game. Your feedback is very important to us so keep it coming! If you’re interested in helping out, head over to our discord and let us know! Here’s everything you found and we fixed this week.

Aloha Thrivers! We’re excited to share our progress and the latest updates in the game. We worked on vendors, a new beach area, an overhaul of the foliage and the neighborhood around the Comm Tower, storm effects and lots more.

If you’re interested in telling us what you think about the latest updates or sharing any ideas you may have for the game, head over to our discord and let us know! We love talking about what we have planned next and hearing your ideas.

Here’s a look at the biggest improvements and news about the latest features you’ll find in the game.





We built out a beautiful new beach area for players to explore.



With abandoned research buildings on the beach



And the jungle.



There are even ruins of an old neighborhood, perfect for exploring or taking shelter from mutants and the elements.




We’ve made some big improvements to the foliage including more realistic-looking meadows bordering the jungle.



Player’s will find new types of plants and trees to harvest across the map



And we even added coconuts.


We continue to build out a survivor marketplace inside the game's starting area, The Thorcon Power Plant. Our goal is to have a thriving safe zone where players can get everything they need to help them make it outside the walls of the building. Here’s a look at a clothing stall we’ve been working on from the original drawing to a final paint-over.










The area surrounding the comm tower got a makeover recently



The top of the tower has one of the best views in the game now.




With all the beauty work we’ve done we decided it was time to grunge a few things up.



Beaches will now show the effects of storms



With more debris washed up on shore and an occasional reminder of those who didn’t win the struggle to survive.




Our Thorcon overhaul moved up a level into the spawning area this month. We're giving our restoration beds a facelift taking into consideration what a player could find combing the ruins for parts.



Here’s a before and after showing the difference between a new respawn bed and the lightly used jury-rigged version.

Aloha Thrivers! We’re back with another update and are happy to share that this month we made some customization improvements based on your feedback, added some new vendors, and made Maui a little more deadly in some areas and harder to survive.

If you’re interested in telling us what you think about the latest updates or sharing any ideas you may have for the game, head over to our discord and let us know! We love hearing your ideas and talking about what’s coming up next.

Here’s a look at the biggest improvements and news about the latest features you’ll find in the game





We started this month by removing the old Hawaiian shirt, cargo pants, and bucket hat outfit that was the standard issue since the early days of alpha. A lot of players asked us when we were going to give folks more options.



So we added a bunch of new clothing options and even glasses so you can better see the bullets coming.



We Improved the look and feel of the first-person meshes and animations as well.



There are many more options for making your character look unique now and we included a feature that can make your facial hair color match the hair on your head.



The lone vendor in the Thorcon Power Plant has some competition now. New outfits and an array of weapons and gear (such as various clothing options) are purchasable from these three.



Vendors can be found across the map now for your survival needs. At the top of the tallest towers, to the worst neighborhoods in Lahaina.



Wherever you are, there is a sometimes friendly vendor location near you.




When a player logs out they no longer disappear into a void, they go to sleep. All your stuff will persist when you’re not playing the game, but your body is vulnerable while you sleep. So, you have to make good choices about where you decide to lay your head if you want to keep it.




We’ve created a tiered system for trees and different tool requirements for harvesting them.



Your trusty shark-toothed pan (Killet) and stone axe are enough to harvest small and medium-sized trees.



You’ll need a metal axe to handle large trees.



The ancient vine-covered giants require a saw-toothed axe to topple now.




This month we introduced zones radiating out from the Thorcon that get more dangerous the further you explore. The area around the power plant remains mostly safe for players, but the island’s other inhabitants get more dangerous as you move away from the starting area.



The zone closest to the Thorcon is filled with cannibals. They’re not too hard to manage as long as you burn everything you kill and don’t let them eat a corpse to power up.



Trophy Collectors are added to the mix in the next zone. They try to pin down players by throwing rotting heads that explode into clouds of toxic gas.



Move out a little further and you’ll start finding butchers and groups of mutants.



The groups get bigger and the mutants get tougher the further you go.



We also updated the toughest mutant currently shuffling around the island, Big Bob.



Bob’s attributes got an overhaul and we increased his charging speed.



Don’t let the cane fool you. He’s spry enough to catch just about anything if he’s hungry enough.


Environmental Updates

• Improved foliage distribution and collision
  
• Improved rain occlusion

Harvesting Update

• Adjusted drop rate of coconuts and bananas

Game Update

• Added safe zone message when logging out and 'Teleporting, please wait...' after initial login

AI Update

• Improved AI movement, pushing, and avoidance system

Player Update

• Increased Stamina recharge rate while crouching
  
• The Respawn Penalty no longer affects the player's carrying capacity

Aloha Thrivers! Spring is in the air and we’re hard at work helping the flowers and mutants bloom across the island. We spent a lot of hours on playtests and tweaking gameplay based on your feedback last month, but we still had time to include a bunch of new content for you!

Your feedback is very important to us so keep it coming! If you’re interested in helping out, head over to our discord and let us know! We love hearing your ideas and talking about what’s coming up next.

Here’s a look at some of the biggest improvements and news about the latest features you’ll find in the game.


Many of you told us how hard it was to get started in the game’s starting area.



Finding your way out of the Thorcon Power Plant and into the world was a headache.



We added arrows, decals, and lighting to help you find your way out.



Normally we wouldn’t suggest following a shark but in this case the graffiti points the way to freedom.




Back in 2017 this was the original concept for the jungle of our dreams.



This is what the wild’s looked like a few weeks ago.



And this is what the jungle looks like now.



As you can see it’s a huge improvement.



The difference around the starting area is night and day.





The plants are not only bigger and more vibrant



But they now sway in the wind when a storm is about the roll through.




Players have a chance to find coconuts when they harvest trees now.



This offers a healthier meal option than decades-old canned food or cannibalism.



You can also craft them into a handy all-natural canteen perfect for a late-night cocktail.




The Thorcon Power Plant got wired up this month to help tell the story of how this iconic building used to power the island before the Fracture wiped out civilization.



We added walls to help secure the substation and keep the mutants from getting stuck on a transformer.



You can find the Veilstation on the other side of the map if you follow the powerlines.



Even though it’s huge, Veilcorp’s main facility is much harder to find through the new lush foliage.




Currently, totems help players claim a plot of land to build on and can prevent your base from decaying if you keep them filled with resources.



We added tiered totems and totem shields to make them more useful if you’re willing to spend the resources.



There are now 6 different tiers of totems that players can build inside their bases.



Totem shields create an invisible force that attackers have to wear down before they can access or damage your totem or even surrounding building pieces when you are offline.



Totems get tougher as you upgrade and they provide buffs to construction pieces attached to the foundation in a radius surrounding them at the expense of energy consumption. One of our first steps towards balancing base building and offline raiding




Last summer we added a dungeon area inside the Thorcon.



It remained empty with some placeholders for a while why we worked on more important things like making the game run at a playable frame rate without crashing.



Now that we’ve achieved that goal we went back to work on the Thorcon dungeon.



Things are looking a little different inside now.



There’s still work to be done but it’s a fun place to run around with a group as we work on upgrades and other hidden places for players to explore.




For a really long time, your character was just another face in the crowd with no customization options other than taking off a piece of clothing.



Your character may be a clone in the game, but you don’t have to look like one anymore.



There are a few clothing choices currently available from our vendors and we plan to unveil more “Apocalypse Casual” options soon.


Combat Updates

• Adjusted sprint stamina usage and increased recovery while standing, crouching, or going prone
  
• Increased damage output of shotgun
  
• Added movement speed modifier to all weapons
  
• Updated melee distances
  
• Updated melee weapon damages

Construction Updates

• Changed Thatch doors to use wood resistance values
  
• Doors are now part of the totem damage mitigation
  
• Lowered the structural damage pans do

Loot Updates

• Added SSHAM cans to loot tables across the map
  
• Made some trash smeltable

Harvesting Updates

• Pickaxe can now be used to harvest meat from bodies
  
• Increased harvest rate of axes
  
• Added tree classes and tool requirements to harvest large and huge trees
  
• Doubled wood dropped by a tree and stone from rocks
  
• Increased sulfur, iron, and twine drop rate
