Tribe Leaders,
As your tribe members eagerly await the dawn, we wait with bated breath for the full release of The Tribe Must Survive. While we endure that wait, we have a new update to improve your tribal life. This update will have added some difficulty into the game, but we have also focused on better-explaining systems and features, making the game more fair and intuitive.
- New Fear and Fire settings make related mechanics more fun to play. You can speed up the removal of Shock from tribe members, if you can afford the wood.
- Per community request, added resource consumption information showing them above the stockpile and granary.
- We’re making Outposts and Trade routes more important and faster to build.
We’re thrilled with how this update turned out, and believe it makes for the best version of the game so far. The changes made enable additional strategic gameplay for new and experienced Tribe leaders alike. So please try it and let us know what you think!

Future Updates
We are excited about the updates mentioned above – they're big steps toward making the survival experience even more immersive and fun before the 1.0 release. There's more cool stuff on the way, and we can't wait for you to check it out!
The upcoming May update is gonna amp up the game's replayability even more. We're tweaking systems like 'Factions' and 'Inner Conflicts' to throw some wicked late-game challenges your way. Plus, we are looking to adjust the generated map variety, to keep you on your toes with unexpected conditions to survive throughout playthroughs.
Our goal with version 1.0, is to spark curiosity on all the ways it is possible to survive, even when the odds turn against you. New, transformative events and perks are bound to throw a wrench in the Tribe’s trajectory to survival. We are also investigating a new progression system, designed to surprise even the most seasoned Tribe leaders.
We’re always active in our Discord server and on Steam discussions. Feel free to join in, or leave a review to let others on Steam know your thoughts about the game. We seriously appreciate all the feedback – it helps us make the game even better!
And remember; whatever it takes... The Tribe Must Survive!
