Open Beta - New Update, New Items

In our latest update we have added three new items alongside various fixes and tweaks.

Find matchbooks with limited matches to create fire. Matches can fail to light, and you can ruin them by getting them wet. Keep them out of the rain, and don't be surprised if they no longer work after a swim in a river.

Lighters are a more reliable fire source and a step up from matches, but require fuel. They also double as a weak light source if you dropped or forgot your flashlight. Which you would never do... right?

Your trusty Ferro Rod from previous builds is now a rare item on every map.

Also new is the Oil Lamp, which is an alternative to the Flashlight. You can use the Oil Lamp to cast light all around you. Perfect for a cozy camp in the woods, or for building a fire.

Last but not least, we have made improvements to indications of impending death due to dehydration or malnutrition. You will still die, but less abruptly than before.
