Ahoi team mates!

Time for the third part of our sneak peek series!

Recap Summery

We have told you in the first two parts a lot about the rewards from the stew and how they can be unlocked with the new token system.

Now is the question, how do you get them? When you exchange a token vs a reward, above the head of the crew member where you can pick it up, the present symbol will appear.



Current:

Rewards are collected by just talking to a crew member.
Due to some quest dialogues having a higher priority, the reward dialogues were sometimes not used and the reward was not collected which caused confusion and frustration among players.

Upcomng:

There will be a separate option for collecting your stew reward when talking to a crew member.



Most wished part:
New unique stew rewards allow you to expand to the previously uncharted plateau east of the camp. Spend rewards token to unlock new foundations and build your very own personal shack with up to 3 rooms to decorate!



…………….to be continued!

Update ahead crew! Part 1!

If you read our last news, you'll notice some sneak peek.
This week I want to talk out of the sewing box and tell you some of our future plans regarding Stranded Sails.

The stew for the crew:
You will be able to put up to 9 of the same ingredient into a crew members slot, right now you can put a single one per slot.
The duration of a stew is now determined by the total amount of ingredients in all slots when you start one. The stew will last 1 hour per ingredient you put in, allowing you to start one that lasts up to 72 hours if you fill all 8 slots completely!



Tracked preferences:
You gain progress towards your next happiness level for every ingredient you put in. You still get bonus progress for giving each crew member ingredients they love. Each crew members preference is now also tracked and displayed in the inventory while you are preparing a stew.



Stew Rewards:
Your crew's happiness level is no longer gated by main quest progression. Whenever you reach the next happiness level you will earn a reward token. Spend reward tokens in the new stew reward UI to choose from all available rewards and unlock them!
What do you think so far? Leave us your thoughts in the comments below!

Ahoi sailors,

The Foundation Update is not the end of our journey and so we have some more implementations for you. Especially for those gamers of our community who still were not satisfied with the energy system.

New relaxing camp buff!



As a little reminder, we changed before that normal running and rowing doesn't cost energy at all. What we did now is, You now gain a buff while inside your camp which removes all energy costs from sprinting, allowing you to freely run around the camp! You can run as long as you wish to all shacks and ship mates, but beware digging and watering your plants is not included!

Get more information from your map!



We know how difficult it can be to find special items, sometimes we even forget where we found them. To help you all, we implemented new detailed information on the map that shows you which items are common on each island, making it easier for you to acquire specific components or ingredients!



Small Update 1.3.1 - Patch Notes


New Features and Changes:

New relaxing camp buff!
  • You now gain a buff while inside your camp which removes all energy costs from sprinting, allowing you to freely run around the camp!
Get more information from your map!
  • New detailed information on the map shows you which items are common on each island, making it easier for you to acquire specific components or ingredients!

Other Changes:
  • Adjusted lock icon to look more polished when displayed larger than a certain scale.
  • Various performance improvements to smoothen the gameplay experience.
  • Added animations to appearing and disappearing buffs in the buff UI. Gaining and losing buffs is now also communicated in the pickup history.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed an issue that would lead to the player being able to interact with objects while in a boat and subsequently getting stuck when doing so.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause fishing to not be immediately cancelled and thus to still allow input until the screen went black when blacking out during the process.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause music and ambient sounds to not properly start/stop when entering/exiting a ladder or rope.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the interaction hint to have the wrong icon when starting the game.
  • Fixed an issue that would lead to French dialogues being displayed in the male version even though the character was female.
  • Fixed German localization typos.
