Hi, done some important change to loot interaction, so please read the following text carefully.
I have played the game for long hours on various developer/publisher events lately and noticed, it is still difficult to spot and highlight desired loot, especially in jungle long grass. So made following changes:
1) all loot and interactibles now have icon above themselves. This will be shown, when item is in player vicinity, usually 2.5 meters.
2) to highlight the item to interact with, point the arrow in middle of your screen on that icon instead of the item. This is important change.
We had issues before, because root of the item needed to be focused, which was not always in the item body center. So now just point to icon above the item.
3) Some items or better said interactibles, do have bigger icon placed more above, so it does not interfere with attached loot. This goes especially for fireplace, also for traps, basebuilding, harvest, stone with water, raincatcher, leather dryer, and dead animals, that need to be skinned in place. This icon also provides additional information how to interact with the item. Please have a look on pictures bellow.
4) Some larger items - objects, do not highlight anymore. Most of them are mentioned in previous point. Simple because they did not looked good when being highlighted. So again focus on new icon to interact with them. Smaller items keeps highlight to spot them more easily.
Please note this is not the final optimization, and I will make more changes for better loot handling. Especially widening the trigger area, icons placement. F.e. driftwood interaction zone was expanded from 1.5 to 2.5 meters.
I would gladly hear some feedback about this on our discord. Which way do you like better.
Done also some fixes:
- fish in pond should be blocked now to swim on land (thank you for report on discord)
- animals will not loop hit sounds when multi[ple hits are triggered at once
- in crafting menu - recipes in crafting>crafting category were not shown
- Also renamed this category to crafting>general which is more appropriate
Next update should include a brand new Photomode - which will enable you to take high resolution srceenshots, in various situations and will include camera settings and positions/rotations.
I am already testing it on development branch.
Thank you for understanding and support.
