The first look at the new auto-turret, more work on balancing the bow, we added an in-game bug reporter, we have a poll on what we should be focussing on, and lots more. You can read all about it at the official site.

Come die-n with me.

Come die-n with me.

Napalm, small stashes, and lots of optimisation. We’re wiping this week, too. It's all on the official site.

• Added server side collider batching to work around the Unity collider limit
  
• Roof blocks are cheaper
  
• Roof blocks are tougher
  
• Fixed some effects not being recycled
  
• Fixed ragdolls not inheriting effects (blood disappear on death)
  
• Fixed effects dying when target object was removed
  
• Fixed arrows being almost impossible to fire through window bars
  
• Fixed cliffs never switching to lower LODs
  
• NPCs die of starvation more
  
• Completely reworked entity visibility queries, fixing various issues along the way
  
• Server time warnings show whether it was caused by a garbage collection
  
• Server console show garbage collection count
  
• Added prefab pooling to effects, decals, dynamic decor, building blocks and sounds
  
• Added pooling support to all LOD components
  
• Optimized dynamic memory allocations when refreshing grass meshes
  
• Objects created by the protobuffer system use a pool
  
• Protobuffers write directly to the network stream, instead of creating a byte[]
  
• Fixed being able to loot a corpse from far away
  
• Increased calorie consumption
  
• Rocket Launcher - Fixed snapping when going to ironsight, added dryfire sounds
  
• Hammer - smoothed out anim speeds
  
• Made bow viewable, fixed popping on idle loop, improved transition when cancelling shot
  
• SMG - dryfire fix
  
• Salvaged sword - fixed snapping on hit reactions
  
• Bean can & f1 grenades - Added hold state & anim while aiming
  
• Fixed query throttle not working
  
• Sound volumes use a scale that is closer to how humans hear
  
• Set up third person reload sounds again
  
• Toned down wounded heartbeat sound
  
• Gunshots and explosions duck other sounds slightly
  
• Rocket flight is audible from farther away
  
• First pass at silenced gunshots
  
• New thunder sounds
  
• New door impact sounds
  
• New tree impact sounds
  
• Bush rustle sound tweaks
  
• Calmed reverb tail wander on gunshots and explosions down a touch
  
• Sound templates are pooled
  
• Arrows, spears and sign world models gibs
  
• Auto saves are every 10 minutes instead of every 5
  
• Developer 1 only works if you're a developer/admin
  
• Updated EAC
  
• Errors/Exceptions are highlighted red in the server console
  
• Errors/Exceptions on server log the stacktrace too
  
• Improved gib performance
  
• Impact effects now get the exact terrain material at impact (sand, dirt, …)
  
• Added correct AI obstacle shapes to building pieces
  
• Fireballs use better sound balancing (client side performance)
  
• Run the garbage collector in the loading screen (join, respawn)
  
• Added deploy volume that uses the newly added unified entity OBB
  
• Clamp AF between 1 and 16 (fixes silent errors)
  
• Fixed crash in status console command
  
• Fixed building stability issues caused by collider batching
  
• Fixed entity collision event not resolving batched colliders
  
• Fixed water level test for entities with zero bounds
  
• Fixed terrain alpha cutoff range being too far away
  
• Updated CraggyIsland (dev test map)
