Heat Update 22 - Bug Catching and Fishing

Schools of Fish and insects have appeared throughout the world! Grab a rod, attach your bait, and cast your line to try catch the biggest and most rare fish you can. Cook up your catch for a tasty meal, or sell them in town and at the shipping bin.

Bug Net: Gather some bait using your trusty bug net. Alternatively, you could try shoveling to unearth some worms and beetles beneath your feet.

Wooden Fishing Rod: A cheap rod with a short line and a sinking lure.

Banded Fishing Rod: A fishing rod with a floating lure.

Notched Fishing Rod: A fast-reeling fishing rod with a controllable lure.

We are taking the servers down and rolling them back up in order to process the update. We will also be wiping Official servers for this update.

If you experience a crash or freeze, please follow these steps, especially after an update as it seems Steam sometimes requires a file integrity check after an update to work properly - https://steamcommunity.com/app/656240/discussions/0/1777136225016630475/

Here are the changes for Update 22:

• World chunks below the terrain no longer load. (This makes distant ground-level data load a little sooner.) - Added the Bug Catching Net. - Added server-seeded bug swarms at ground level. These can be collected from swarms with the Bug Catching Net. - Added Bee, Black Fly, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Firefly, and Wasp swarms to catch. - Bugs can be collected randomly when using a shovel. - Added Beetle, Grasshopper, Ladybug, and Worm loot drops to shoveled ground. - Added the Wooden Fishing Rod: A cheap rod with a short line and a sinking lure. - Added the Banded Fishing Rod: A fishing rod with a floating lure. - Added the Notched Fishing Rod: A fast-reeling fishing rod with a controllable lure. - Bugs can be attached to fishing rods as fish bait. - Added server-seeded fish schools to large rivers and bodies of water. - Fish vary in size and speed to add more or less difficulty to individual catches. - Added Bass, Mexican Snook, Perch, Pike, Trout and Walleye fish schools. - Added Raw Fish, Cooked Fish, and Smoked Fish. (Much like the meat before it.) - Liquids can no longer be quality-boosted by adding a drop of something better to the top of the bucket. - Items made from materials that cannot have quality levels are no longer an invalid quality. - Fixed the endless shivering during audio hypothermia. - Added minimal heat sources to neutral buildings, so that players inside them will not freeze.

NOTE: - Re-bundled 32 GB of textures, which will be downloaded and replaced. (The bundles were corrupted during an unusual build error so we had to rebundle.)

Thanks for everyone's continued feedback and support.
