Update 5

Update 5 is out, just update your game on Steam.

This is a smaller update that features mostly backend changes and improvements, which lay the foundation for some of the new mechanics that will be coming in future updates. So, from the players perspective, not much has changed in the game.

However, there is one important thing in this update. Starting with next patch (update 6), the game will only be able to load save files that were saved with this patch (update 5) and later patches. So, if you want to keep playing your old save files, make sure you load them with this version and save them again.

Even though the backend changes took up most of the development time for this patch, some new content did make it into this update.

Light sources (besides the sun) now cast shadows. Here is how it looked before and after.

There are 8 new items.

There is 1 new building.

One new resource and resource type

Water pond (resource) and liquid pool (resource type).

And a new mechanic in the game

collecting liquids from pools.

Other stuff

• The procedural world generator was updated and optimized. It now takes a couple of seconds to generate a new world or load a game. Previously it took 15+ seconds. Although this depends on your pc's processor.

• There are 2 new item types: Liquid and material collector.

• Liquid items disappear when dropped, so you need to keep them in (any) inventory at all times.

• The shovel was removed and replaced with a material collector, which can be used to collect materials from the ground and liquids from pools.

• Camera zoom in/out keys can now be rebinded in the settings.

• The UI now scales with the resolution (previously the UI stayed the same size, no matter what resolution you were using).

• And a bunch of new crafting recipes.

As always, have fun playing.
