Following 'Island Orientation' pre launch, we now have 'Message in a Bottle'! This is our developer diary where we'll show behind the scenes developer workings and teasers of upcoming content!
A big content update is coming soon that will act as an almost part two to the animal update, though today we aren't spoiling that just yet. ːsteamsadː
We will be instead focusing on the extra parts to this update and the quality of life additions lots of players have been asking for! Thank you everyone for your invaluable feedback so far.
Corrupted Save File Fix Is Here!
Before we start, we'd like to again apologies to those that experienced the save file issues with infinite loading and corrupted saves. Our update to fix this has been on the live version for the past couple of weeks.
Backpack
It has been one of the hottest requested community features and whilst you can employ a monkey friend to carry a storage box. We've listened and a backpack to extend your personal storage is coming!
Fast Raft
One of the regular complaints is that the regular old raft is a bit to slow for the keen sea farers among you. Well, good news! A more advanced version of the raft is coming to the desert island lands.
This will be crafted in a super secret, soon to be revealed manner with advanced crafting resources. No spoilers...yet!
Raid Warnings
Raids are now focused on the player and occur during bloodmoon. Players now receive plenty of warning prior to a raid to enable them to pick the right course of action. We know that a lot of players have been frustrated with raids and we've been tweaking them over the patches to make them more interesting and less out of the blue.
We hope this move will get raids to a good place where you will have time to prepare and put up the best fight for your survival!
Much More!
This is by no means an exhaustive list of what improvements are coming in the next update, we'll be teasing more in the coming Message in a Bottle posts! We will also be teasing the big content feature that is washing ashore, soon!
Thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you again next week Survivalists!
