In this update, we’ve made several optimization improvements; the game should now perform more smoothly and stably. We've also fixed multiple crash issues. In the next few updates, we’ll continue working on further optimizations!
As an expansion to the previous update, we've improved Sursas; now you can tame them! You can build a lair for them, and they’ll produce peat. On top of that, a tamed Sursa will protect its surroundings, helping you defend your base! :)
We’ve also added mushrooms that grow in caves and, in the near future, will become an essential part of your settlers’ diet. But that’s not all, mysterious stone trees can now be found underground too!
If you’ve encountered any issues, check the changelog below. We fixed a lot of stuff! And if your bug isn’t on the list, let us know. We want the gameplay to be as smooth and bug-free as possible!
