Thank you for all your feedback over the past weeks! This is the biggest update By My Side has received so far. Alongside brand-new content, we've fixed many of the issues reported by the community and completely reworked several core gameplay systems.
🛠️ Major Improvements
Completely reworked airplane Entering and leaving the aircraft is now reliable, even with a full inventory. Cargo storage saves correctly, fuel mechanics have been improved, and emergency landings on remote islands no longer cause softlocks.
New swimming & diving system Characters now move more naturally in water, diving has been improved, reaching the ocean floor works correctly, and boats and rafts behave much more reliably.
Improved building system Doors, stairs, building previews and object rotation have all been refined, fixing many placement issues.
World & terrain improvements Numerous collision issues, terrain bugs and environmental details across the world have been fixed and polished.
Save & load fixes Various issues affecting vehicles, inventories, cargo and world persistence have been resolved.
Many additional improvements Animations, interactions, vehicles, camera controls, UI elements and countless smaller bugs have also been addressed.
🌊 New Content
✈️ A fully functional airplane with cargo storage and fuel mechanics
🏝️ Multiple new islands waiting to be discovered
⛏️ A first mine with new resources
🤝 New NPCs, trading mechanics and a trust system
The new islands are part of the endgame experience, so we'd like to keep most of their secrets hidden. Players who venture far enough across the ocean will discover much more for themselves.
Thank you to everyone who reported bugs, shared feedback and supported By My Side. ❤️
