Hi guys,


This build features more extensions to the building system with new doors, arches, windows and half-walls! There's new pieces for each building tier, totalling 20 new pieces. It's worth mentioning that there's been some refactoring of our building system's connector code to allow it to be completely universal to support the new raft system coming soon, so there's a possibility that your existing saved structures might load back inccorectly. Please try replicating any bugs on a new structure before posting them. There's also been some performance tweaks that should improve performance for systems with lower-end CPUs.

Have fun!

Hi guys,

A hotfix for version 0.07 (0.07.H1) is now live with a fix for some bugs related to the bucket and crabs. Buckets from previous saves will have saved in their "broken" state, however new buckets will work as intended from now on.

We've also restored the weather and added a temporary wooden raft that you can craft through the foundation panel for now until the new raft system is completed.

Happy holidays!

- Restored weather.
- Added a temporary wooden raft until the new raft system is completed.
- Changed foundations to no longer collide with terrain rocks, etc.
- Adjusted default ocean wave intensity from 10 to 8.
- Adjusted default ocean rotation effect from 1.0 to 0.25

It goes over more of the specifics to successfully building a structure. We'll update it in the future with more details on the menus, etc, but this should get you started :)

Have fun!

Hi guys,


This build features an extension to the building system with triangular shaped foundations and floors! It's a handy little piece of geometry that will let you build a much more unique structure than a square box :) You can also now find doors on shipping containers, with doors for the other tiers making a return in the next build.

We’re also working on a new billboard system so please forgive it if things pop in and out at weird times or too soon at the moment.

Have fun!
