TL;DR

  1. Boat building blocks can now be rotated and demolished at any time in edit mode - they are no longer subject to the usual 5 minute timer.
  2. The tiny dive site buoys that would bring your full size boat to a complete halt have now been addressed. You may now sail freely!
  3. Loot now respawns slowly over time. The initial loot fill when the Deep Sea opens has been decreased to around 70% of what it was.
  4. The side of the map it spawns on is now random after each opening.
  5. You can’t go there using RHIBs now.
What do the tags mean?
  • Buff green = made stronger
  • Nerf red = made weaker
  • Fix yellow = bug fixed
  • New blue = added content or feature

Lines are quoted from the official notes; on cards, the › bullet and left stripe use the game's colour, not a tag; tags are auto-assigned, so check the full notes for edge cases.

Buffsmade stronger6

  • Boat building blocks can now be rotated and demolished at any time in edit mode - they are no longer subject to the usual 5 minute timer.
  • Loot now respawns slowly over time. The initial loot fill when the Deep Sea opens has been decreased to around 70% of what it was.
  • We've also buffed the player protection while mounted to cannons so players shouldn't be as vulnerable while using them.
  • Decay delay has been doubled from 12 hours to 24 hours and decay duration has been reduced from 18 hours to 12 hours.
  • tldr: Against naval scientist hazmat goes from 5% to 30% protection, and fullmetal from 25% to 50%
  • What this means is that you'll have more time to see your health ticking down and get in cover, as opposed to big chunks of health disappearing intermittently.

Nerfsmade weaker2

  • miss less but have lower damage
  • Vine swinging trees use 6-9 less colliders (depending on which variation is spawned)

Fixesbug fixed3

  • There have been a ton of small fixes and improvements to player boats and boat building this month. I want to a highlight a few of the more common complaints that have been addressed here in this section.
  • and Stream Decks working with Rust. We are investigating a fix as a priority as we use these tools internally quite a bit.

POWER TRIP

  • This month we're releasing a set of features we call Player Maintained Monuments - tying together our existing monuments in new and interesting ways while pushing players to interact with each other in the process.
  • Using new Heavy Fuses, the power plant can be fired back up to unlock several new gameplay features for everyone around the island.
  • Heavy Fuses can be found as loot and must be inserted into the new special fuse boxes located at the power plant. Not everything will be unlocked all at once - some things connected to the power plant require more fuses than others to become functional.
