Hi Survivors!
First of all, thanks for playing our game at launch! It's the first time we released a game to the public at such scale and it has been an incredible day for everyone in the team! The journey together with our testers has been an exciting experience, but this.. there are no words that can describe the feeling!
We appreciate all the reviews and the feedback that we received, positive and negative, and we want to start addressing it little by little. In this small hotfix we did some tuning of the main resource consumption, to give more exploration time and to ease the difficulty curve. We also fixed major bugs such as the clay, which was not protecting from the sun when applied.
As always, if you have feedback or suggestion, we encourage you to join us on Discord or let us know in the forum. It may take some time, but you will always get an answer from us.
Let us know how the changes affect your experience and if you enjoy the game, don't forget to follow and leave a review!
