Update 0.7.8.11

Systems & Stability

We've added extra layers of protection for your progress and fixed some common multiplayer errors.

• The automated backup system is now active for Single Player games, ensuring your progress is safe just like in multiplayer;
• Fixed an issue where non-host players sometimes wouldn't take damage from arrows;
• Resolved a bug where the "Will of Melwas" raid would occasionally fail to start;
• Fixed a crash that could occur when picking up items too quickly.

World & Environment

We've performed a visual pass on the environment and fixed some issues in the Silent Forest (Second Island).

• Improved terrain tessellation - ground surfaces now have more depth and detail;
• Buildings in the Silent Forest now correctly protect you from the Plague Wind;
• Adjusted how rocks spawn at the docks so they no longer have a visual pop-up;
• Corrected the height of trees and fixed collision issues at the Beach Plague;
• Added missing collisions to the Crematorium to prevent walking through walls;
• Tweaked the time of day in the menu for a fresh look when you start the game;

• We are working on adjusting the lighting in the game. For now we recommend setting the fog to around 30-50% (with 50% being more optimal) and adjust the brightness from there. There will be improvements to how lighting works in the later updates.

Economy & Gameplay Balance

This pass includes a significant storage upgrade and various crafting fixes.

• You can now build up to 15 chests in your base (increased from 5);
• Improved the usefulness and trade value of items sold by the Trader;
• Re-enabled several random events in the North Plains (First Island);
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Watchtower from being repaired and balanced several crafting recipes;
• You will no longer see a confusing "Unavailable" message when trying to loot certain bodies in multiplayer.

NPC Behavior

• Added a respawn cooldown to peasant cages;
• Fixed a bug where peasants would restart their crying audio every time you walked away and came back;
• Apothecary villagers have had a visual update to better fit their role;
• Peasants will now correctly put away their torches when they start working or interacting with you.

Demo

• We've updated the demo version of the game to match the current Early Access build. The length of the demo is the same.

UI & Technical Fixes

• Fixed a flickering issue that happened when hovering over items in the build menu at certain resolutions;
• Improved the collision on Stick Fences;
• Adjusted the first plague area to make interactions more consistent;
• Updated all localisations with fixes to item names and descriptions.

Thanks for the feedback! There are more fixes and improvements in the works - we will be updating the Early Access regularly.

Enjoy playing!
