Hello Survivors! 👨🏻🚀 Today brings a major update: HIRAETH has been upgraded to the newest version of Unreal Engine — 5.8 . This is not a race for shiny new features. It’s a crucial stability and performance update that also unlocks new possibilities already visible in today’s build — including the first pass of dense coral and underwater vegetation filling the ocean floor. Below is a full b…
Small but important crafting fix A minor yet meaningful update to the crafting system. In the previous version, tools could not be selected properly, which made most crafting actions impossible.

Small Update — Meteorite Impact Event · The new meteorite event has received a stability pass and its trigger logic is now fully confirmed. · Meteorites can now appear starting from the first in‑game day on Nesoi Island. · A new HUD widget now appears when a meteor enters the atmosphere, accompanied by a brief warning alarm — a cue to look around Nesoi and track its descent. Regards , Paweł
🌌 Meteors Descend Upon Nesoi The sky above Nesoi is no longer quiet. Random meteors now tear through the atmosphere, striking the island with violent force. Anyone — you or your enemies — caught too close to the impact zone may not survive. Craters mark the landing sites, hiding rare meteorite fragments that will soon become valuable crafting resources. For now, these celestial visitors arrive…
Hello, Survivors! 👨🏻🚀 Yesterday I played a longer session — from the landing at Last Drop through both main quests. It took me three in‑game days, I reached level 14, unlocked several new and overdue Steam achievements, and overall had a very solid experience. No major bugs, no blockers. But I did encounter a few issues around the new quest, voice messages, and post‑quest behavior in Let Th…
