Hotfix Patch

Under A New Sun · published 8 Aug 2025, 19:39 UTC · build 19531944

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone,

a new patch is now available.

Even if only a small update, this one changes quite a bit on the interaction possibilities with workstations, campfires & similar.
Some players have made it clear that they are not happy about having to throw their items (especially food) somewhere in the dirt and then drag them to the right place later. So you can now aim your view, where you want your item to be, and drag it out of your inventory. Although it is to mention that this only works, when the view is aiming at something near the player and by dragging it manually on the drop area inside the inventory, otherwise it will spawn in front of the player, just like before.

Furthermore, it is now also possible to use this feature to directly interact with most workstations out of your inventory.

  • Dragging items onto the drop area inside the inventory will now drop the item where the player is looking (if the crosshair isn't facing anything, the item will drop in front of the player, just like before)
  • Dropping items from your inventory by dragging them onto the drop area (not via quick drop) can now directly interact with most workstations
  • Campfire spits will now show ghost placeholders when you're looking at them (if you have a fitting food item in your inventory), indicating that the item can be placed there
  • Added multiple control remapping options
  • Added multiple gamepad (controller) control remapping options
  • Deconstructing a water wheel now returns resources
  • Computer terminals inside racks can now also be interacted with by pressing 'E'
  • Tool racks can now hold hammers
  • Increased torch performance by approximately 60%
  • Changed the rendering method of the planet orbiting the world, which fixes rendering issues with the clouds in front
  • Fixed reloading leather inside tanning racks
  • Fixed some problems that occurred when adding resources to building placeholders in co-op mode
  • Fixed multiple air tanks connecting to the refill station
  • Changed the ship cargo description to clarify that you need to place chests inside
  • Revised Spanish translations

Huge thanks to esecamara from our Discord community for taking the time to revise the Spanish translations of Under A New Sun!

Thanks everyone for the feedback and support!
