Patch Notes 1.2

New Features

  • Added a map marker system. You can place up to 3 markers on the map and see 3D versions of them in the game for easier navigation.

  • Added support for movement using the arrow keys (up, down, left, right).

  • Added the ability to close the inventory with the TAB key.

Gameplay & Balance

  • Removed radioactive rubbish from the first two islands.

  • Reduced the amount required for the radioactive quest.

  • Reduced the magnet strength penalty per use.

  • Changed grass growth so it triggers and spreads more slowly.

  • Reduced fall damage from 0.06 to 0.03 per unit.

Magnetron

  • Decreased the Magnetron reset time to 3 seconds. If the magnet's inventory is full, the reset time is now 1 second.

  • Added a sound effect that plays on Magnetron reset.

  • Changed the Magnetron so it now catches all nearby rubbish after a reset. Previously, you had to move 3 to 5 meters away and then return to the rubbish.

Charging Station

  • Changed availability to between 20:00 and 05:30.

  • Increased global time during sleep from x20 to x30. Some lag may occur on low-end PCs.

Settings & UI

  • Improved the Invert Camera setting so you can adjust it however you like. Off, both X and Y, only X, or only Y options are now available.

  • Moved the Scanner Visual Effect setting from General to the Graphics category. DLSS now forcibly affects this setting due to the motion sickness it could cause.

  • Improved the Special Projects warning so it can now be closed by clicking OK or by clicking another crafting category.

  • Improved minor UI elements and text.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that allowed walking underwater.

  • Fixed the tutorial text that said "Press to toggle crouch" instead of "Hold."

  • Fixed an issue where the "no equipment to repair" text overlapped with repairable equipment in the crafting menu.

  • Fixed an issue where multiple clicks on the continue button in the tutorial pop-up were ignored.

  • Fixed an issue with storage interaction registration and added additional storage interaction fixes.
