*V0.79.3.1 ~ 21.05.2026 ~ Unity 2020.3.49fChanges:
Modifier keys are now valid keybinds
Minor changes to tree gain EXPBugfixes:
Cutting wild trees now properly awards EXP
Fixed trees restoring full health if you ran out of stamina when the axe special kills it.
Fixed beehive tags so tree perks that affect them now work properly.
Axe special now requires at least 2 energy to use, it does not use any energy by itself, each hit on a tree has it's own cost based on the tree being hit. This is to avoid swinging and doing nothing beyond shaking the tree.
Bug report menu (Ctrl+Shift+F1) can no longer be used to exit out of any other menu, that caused all sorts of game breaking bugs involving cutscenes and dialogues and god knows what else was possible, many softlocks included.

Next week we will be adding a few visual aid effects during the tutorial (more yellow paint) to make it foolproof and we will split Survivial mode into Survival and Challenge

Survival mode is the intended way to play, the debt will now only have 4 installments, so it will be fully paid by the start of summer, dying or failing to pay the spring debt will allow you to continue in Sandbox.

Challenge mode will keep the infinite debt and the score, in the future it might also have additional difficulty, dying or failing to pay the debt before the 4 installments will send you to Sandbox mode, if you managed to pay the first 4 installments you can instead continue in Survival mode (with the debt gone).

Garr will take a bit longer to be added to the game, making his dialogue, personality and AI will actually take a while.

We are still ironing the details, since we are focusing on performance this is very hard to do and weird graphical bugs due to wrong render orders and such are common. There will also be new critters that only show up when it is snowing. Snow can dynamically change into rain if th…Community11 Sep 2026Friday Progress Report 483The clouds now change slowly when rain comes, starting about 15 minutes before the rain drops, the lighting also gets dimmer, it is subtle, but it all works well in the end. At first we wanted to make weather localized (based on biome) and change the skybox for something more cartoonish and stylized, but we are saving these alterations for later, after finishing the exploration update as these…Community4 Sep 2026Friday Progress Report 482We got plenty bug reports this week, so we split our focus between the update and fixing the bugs we could squash quickly. The rain schedule system is done, the game sets up the weather for the whole week ahead of time, and this will allow players to get a Weather forecast later from NPCs as a favor. Each week has a set rain threshold, spring will be our rainy season and has more rain slots tha…
