Hi Everyone,

A small update will be ready in just a few days and here is a running list of additions/changes that are completed so far. This post will be updated every few days so be sure to keep an eye on it if you'd like to keep tabs on stuff coming down the pipeline.


New Content:

ADDED - Wooden Spike Traps: Vambies will slowly die when caught up in them.

- Animals will attack it like any other building section, only Vambies will get caught in them.
- Build Recipe: 1 Log, 4 Sticks and 1 Rope.




Changes:

CHANGE - Fence Snapping: Many have been asking for this to be a possible thing, it now is.
CHANGE - New Anvil mesh.
CHANGE - Reduced frequency of animal sounds from every 10 seconds to 25 seconds.





BUG FIXES:

BUG FIX - Iron Axe hitting tree stumps had a strange behaviour.
BUG FIX - Could not attack birds in a melee state like with and axe or spear.
BUG FIX - AI jump attack would sometimes hold the player even from far if the attack was a miss.
BUG FIX - Occasionally, the new AI would get stuck and go idle in swarm events. This would cause the event to only end at 4am because players could not kill the entire swarm.
BUG FIX - Could build second door in the door frames after a game reload.


Optimizations:

Optimization - Reduction of some normal texture resolutions sizes. Will help reduce Ram requirement.

Hi Everyone.

So V7.0 is now live on the main branch with all the missing text translations.

I would please ask everyone on the beta branch to switch back to the live branch when possible.

All save files from the beta branch will work just fine when switching back to the main branch.

Have fun and a great day

Hey everyone,

V7.0 is now available on the beta branch for those wanting to play with all the additions and changes now. Some missing translations are preventing me from putting it on the live branch. For those who are not playing in English, all the new stuff will not be translated. I expect to have everything localized in 3-4 days from now.

To access it, right click the game in your Steam library and hit properties. There you will find a BETAS tab, select BETA and launch your game as usual.

Please report any bugs here on steam.

Have a great day!!


New AI system:

7.0 will introduce a complete rework of all AI systems allowing for a great foundation for me to continue to build upon all AI actions and behavior- these systems are still in the works and only a small portion of what i want the AI to become is complete in this update.

The update is primarily focused on improvements and alterations to the horde night attacks.


- The goal is the increase the danger and difficulty involved in the swarm attacks. AI will focus more on base destruction and will attack from any angle, no longer just try and gather and go in through your gates.
- Added new UI info for active swarm nights- it will now display how many Vambies are left to kill to complete the event.
- Added a new jump attack that will restrain and bite the player. This attack is limited to the wandering AI in the POIs and the general AI on the map. The swarm Vambies during the night attacks will not preform this attack.

Hi everyone, a few fixes and 1 change.


BUGFIX - Storage Chest would get destroyed when moving them on very slanted terrain. Would result in a loss of all the containers contents.

BUGFIX - Items placed in Brick Forge would sometimes not smelt.

CHANGE - Can now place things on top of the Brick Forge. (Little gift for GameEdged lol)



Have a great day,

V6.4 is now available as a small New Years surprise. There are a handful of missing translations that will be added at a later time.


ADDED - The Brick Forge.

Consider this the work horse of forging- the Brick Forge can handle the work of 5 forges but requires far less management & fuel. Requires 50 Dry Bricks and 10 Iron Ingots to build, the forge has 10 smelting slots and a slower fuel burn time.




CHANGE - Placeable stacking.

Born of Community suggestions for Battery storage, take a peek at the image below!





OTHER CHANGES:

CHANGE - By popular demand, you can now add/remove items to the forge using the Alt/Click method.

CHANGE - Mineral Extractor Change: added clay drop to the mineral extractor when not on an extraction site. New drop rates are: 20% Stone, 20% Iron Ore, 20% Clay and 40% Iron Fragments.


-------------------------

We hope you guys have a happy & safe New Years Day and enjoy the new mini update. Oh and those not currently active on our Discord, you might want to check the Steam general forums for a new pinned post....ːsteammockingː

Hi everyone,

I know, I know, I said no more of these till V7 lol.

However I wanted to fix a couple more things and make a significant change to the mineral extractors.


BUGFIX - Could not repair the new wood and concrete railings.

BUGFIX - World Temp would not be adjusted for the player when in the greenhouse. Now always reads 23 degrees C. This was leading to confusion as players thought they still needed to build heaters etc.

CHANGE - Quite a few have expressed the need to look at the Stone smelting mechanic to gather Iron Fragments. I have made some changes to the extractor to help address this potential problem for some. Mineral Extractor will now drop Iron Fragments, Iron Ore and Stone in none ore extraction sites. Previously players would only get coal and stone. This change is to help reduce the melting of stone on forges to get Iron Fragments. Players will still have to grind the forges to get the first extractor but after that players can rely on the extractor to get iron if they so choose. Drop rates are: 40% Iron Fragment, 40% Iron Ore, 20% Stone.

PS: I do have plans to introduce a larger forge in V7 and also the additions of caves that will also contain ores.

Have a great day.

Hi Everyone,

Just a few more fixes before I start on the next content update.

Unless any other game breaking issues, I will not be doing anymore hotfix updates till after the next content update. I need a few weeks to focus and integrate the new AI behavior system. I will post more info regarding V7.0 in a few days.

BUGFIX - Clone/duplicate items bug on crafting stations when adding the items needed to the station and closing the UI.
BUGFIX - Could not upgrade the new wood railing open.
BUGFIX - Using the large flask to turn off campfire would use up all the water in the flask and not just 1.
BUGFIX - Hold the "F" key and press the "M" key would result in the compass and health bar stats UI to stay stuck on screen.
ADDED - Can now craft lighters, some have reported missing lighters or simply lost in chests somewhere. Can craft with just 1 Iron Fragment.

Some have also been experience a crash when loading the game after an update. Please refer to the "Crashing?" pinned thread for potential fixes.

Have a great day

Hi Everyone,

Some greenhouse changes and fixes.

CHANGE - Increased durability of the greenhouse from 100 to 500. Because of this change, when you log in for the first time after this change, you will need to repair it to 500.

BUGFIX - Could not repair the Greenhouse.

Some have also been experience a crash when loading the game after an update. Please refer to the "Crashing?" pinned thread for potential fixes.

Have a great holidays everyone,

Hi Everyone.

So V6 is now live on the main branch with all the missing text translations.

I would please ask everyone on the beta branch to switch back to the live branch when possible.

All save files from the beta branch will work just fine when switching back to the main branch.

Have fun and a great holiday.
