Performance Improvements & Network Fixes

Based on community feedback regarding performance issues, we’ve introduced a new setting called Boxed Storage in the Settings menu which is enabled by default. This significantly improves performance, especially in saves with large numbers of items. We’ve also optimized maps to provide a smoother overall experience.

We also received reports of players being unable to join hosts or getting stuck on loading screens due to network timeouts caused by large item synchronization.

Professional Translations

To ensure players around the world can enjoy the game as intended, we’ve collaborated with professional translators to add support for: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.

UI Improvements

Following your feedback on in-game icons, we’ve worked with a professional artist to redesign our icons. The new hand-crafted visuals provide a cleaner and more polished look. Also, for a cleaner look, we changed the positions of the inventory slot and control hints.

Resource Chest

We know many of you love collecting and stacking resources, but it can get messy! To help you stay organized, we’ve introduced the Resource Chest, available for purchase in the Engineer’s Store.

Stores a single resource type
Holds up to 50 items per chest
Can be placed in terrains, workshops, cellars, and more

We hope this addition makes organizing your world much easier and more enjoyable.
