Thank you for all the feedback right after the 1.0 release — a lot of this comes straight from you!
⏸️ Real Pause
The pause menu now truly freezes the whole world in single-player — time, animals, weather. A clear "⏸ Game paused" shows it. Perfect for when the phone rings. (In co-op the game keeps running for everyone, with a clear note.)
🪢 Rope Winch — now for yourself, too
New: tie the winch's rope to yourself, keep working normally (dig, build) — then press to be pulled back up. Great for getting out of deep pits or up from ledges.
🕳️ Digging & Filling
You no longer get stuck in the ground when filling holes. And your shovel now lasts much longer.
🐕 Your Dog Is Tougher
Your companion now has far more health and stays by your side much longer when things get dangerous.
🐺 Predators
Wolves and bears chase and attack cleanly again — no more freezing mid-hunt.
🪵 Easter Egg
The firewood piles scattered around the world can now be looted for planks. Keep your eyes open! 👀
📚 Tutorial
The first-steps guide now covers digging too — so you know where stone and ore are hidden (in the ground!).
We're looking forward to many more updates and new content — thank you for being by our side! ❤️
