This update fixes bugs. Some of them had been in the game since release and
could cost you progress. Thanks to everyone who reported something. <3
Saves and character
- Loading a save could change your character's gender. The next save then made
it permanent. Fixed.
- The hair colour you picked was lost after every restart. Light colours such
as blonde were stored incorrectly. Fixed. Existing saves cannot be repaired,
but new characters keep their colour.
Multiplayer
- Joining while the host was still loading the world gave you an empty world.
Buildings were invisible, animals could not be killed and reviving did not
work. All three had the same cause. Fixed. You now see a message while the
host is still loading, and a cancel button.
- Wild animals that appeared as motionless copies for the guest and could not
be killed are gone.
- Cargo on the cart now shows as logs for the other player instead of crates.
Digging
- You could not get out of a pit you dug yourself once it was wider than one
tile. The climb assist never triggered in that case, and the hint never
appeared either. Both fixed. Walk into the wall and you climb out, even while
carrying a log.
- You can now also get out of a pit that has filled with water.
- Clay could be dug at the shore without limit and without anything changing.
Each spot on the shore now holds a limited amount. Yield and speed per dig
stay the same. When a spot is empty, move along a little.
Survival
- Hunger, thirst and warmth could drop sharply right after loading. The loading
time itself was the cause. Fixed.
- Loading now gives a small bonus to hunger, thirst and warmth. If you save in
a difficult spot, you get a chance to react.
- Dying in story mode no longer costs you your inventory. Before, your items
dropped on the ground and were gone for good after the next load. You still
lose a day and wake up at camp.
Controls and display
- The inventory and campfire windows no longer overlap. All open windows now
sit next to each other. This also applies to equipment and the power
overview.
- The mouse wheel moved the camera at the end of a list. While a window is
open, the wheel no longer moves the camera.
- At the pump and the water intake you had to stand almost on top of it for E
to appear. This now works for every powered and water device.
- Items on the upper floor showed through the floor. Fixed, including houses
with a flat roof.
- One chopping sound was too loud and did not fit. It was removed. The
remaining ones are a little quieter.
Start
- Starting in summer, autumn or winter now begins on day 1. A winter start used
to begin on day 31. This also corrects the longest run entry. Existing saves
keep their day and season.
Thank you for playing By My Side
