Hello Scientists!
We’ve rolled into March, the seasons are changing, and so we’ve got a new patch for you.
Over the month of February, our team tackled a bunch of bugs you’ve helped us find, added a few QoL improvements and did some performance tweaks along the way. One change the whole team is especially happy about deserves a special mention. Our brother-in-arms Daniel has wrestled with Unreal and come out victorious — you can now move various airship items even if other items are stacked on them, all at once. So yes, no more emptying shelves because your OCD tells you, “A little to the left. No, actually… the right.” Now, just use the Move (Z) function on the shelf, and everything it's attached to will move with it. You can see
The full list of changes is at the bottom of this post.
Our Steam Spring Sale is live with 45% off. I mean, what better way to appreciate the sun coming out than sitting at home with the shades drawn, staring into a monitor, right?
We are also working on a little Spring Event that was meant to go alongside this patch, but we decided we still have a few small kinks we want to iron out before we go live. It includes a Spring-themed side-quest and some new Airship decor! We will aim to have this released very soon. Here is a preview of the new decor items!
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading, for playing, and for just being here with us. And remember, if you love the game, leaving a review always helps us a ton. — Team Far From Home
The Move (Z) function has been enhanced to support multiple connected objects simultaneously. For example, a shelf with ornaments on it will now move all items at the same time when you use Move (Z) on the shelf.
