Survive the Nights · published · build 19108672
We’ve been busy cracking along with all the bug reports you guys have provided. Along with bug fixes, we’ve introduced some of your suggestions and things are starting to polish up nicely! Below is a quick run down on just some of what we’ve done. Be sure to check the entire changelog at the bottom of this blog.
Party UI
We heard you and we’ve come through in 1.41. We’ve incorporated the party commands right into the player window. You can invite, kick, accept and reject invites etc. right through the player tab now. Check it out below!
Party menu
Party (shared ownership)
Players in your party can now more. You can lock and unlock each others vehicles. Party members can open and close each others gates and move traps and barricades.
Oldtown Strip Mall Rework
We’ve made some changes to the strip mall area in Oldtown. The original design had 3 builds with dome duplicated shops. We’ve removed one, set the structures back further creating a little parking area in front of the two shops that remain. Adding some proper access to the roof tops along with some fortifications. If you like these changes, which in our opinion are bit more gamey and fun let us know and we’ll continue to tweak the world.

Oldtown update 2
Oldtown update 3
Map Makers in Compass
As per many suggestions, we’ve added more map markers to the compass bar. You will now (when in range) see all of the shops in game on the compass, making getting around a bit easier and more fluid.

Watch Towers
We’ve had tons of requests for adding watchtowers since we introduced free standing walls. With the 1.40 update we introduced gates and in 1.41 you’ll have the first go at watchtowers. We’ll be adding more free placed fortifications in the future and have loved your suggestions so far so feel free to join us and let us know what you want to see.
