SPRING CLEAN

official notes ↗

TL;DR

  1. NEW ITEM: ARMOURED LADDER HATCH
  2. The Armoured Ladder Hatch is a new top-tier construction. A direct upgrade from the Metal Ladder Hatch, the Armoured Ladder Hatch is built for players who want maximum durability on their vertical access points.
  3. You liked wind and solar? Now it's time for another classic, Hydro!
  4. New sound effects have also been added, the unlock animation was improved and the tree is now centered when zooming in and out - interacting with this UI should feel a lot better overall.
  5. Chainsaw now always hits the X when farming trees
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 stronger1

  • To balance this out, fishing in the Deep Sea is getting a buff! You can no longer catch Herrings or Anchovies in the deep sea, which means the loot pool has been concentrated towards higher-value catches.

Nerfsmade weaker1

  • This year we’ve somehow created an even more silly costume to terrorise the nakeds with, the Bunny Costume.

Fixesbug fixed4

  • Fixed junkpiles spawning on sleeping bags
  • We've also fixed a bug that resulted in additional recoil being applied when shooting at a shield, this was only meant to be applied when attacking a shield with a melee weapon.
  • on all our servers and it's been a smooth ride, most of the time. It revealed a couple bugs with the demo system, but those have been fixed. And it's been helping our servers - you can see where we've switched one of our servers:
  • Problems 2 and 4 are related - to fix problem 2, we would use more asyncs, but that would cause more allocations, inflating problem 4.

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.
