New Content: Settler's Craft

Since last update, one month has passed. And the new update is now available on schedule(Yes, we make it!). In this update, we mainly modified the production system which is needed when players experienced the camping stage and are preparing for the Iron Age.

Many new features have been added in this vision, such as weapon recycle, planting mechanism optimization and the new usage of some materials. We also added a kind of new core material - “Clay” - and some new items that rely on it.

In addition, the new content in Floating Island is busily made advancing on a tight schedule, and is expected to be released in the near future.

1. Settlement Craft

   In this update, we focus on the adjustment of the production system that is important for players who have finished the comping stage and are ready for the Iron Age. Two kinds of workbenches were added: Manual Workbench and Reaction Tank. The manufacture of some items will have to use these two new tools.

   Two new core materials were introduced: Clay and Animal Skin. They have been integrated into our new production system. We also added some new primary equipment.

2. Weapon Recycle

   We added a new Weapon Recycle feature that works on most of the current weapons. Metal weapons can now be put into a furnace to recycle a proportion of metal, while wood-and-stone weapons can be put into a fire to recycle the stone parts.

3. Planting Optimization

   he old planting system has been totally redesigned. The farming mechanism now is different from the previous factory-styled production process. Under the new planting system, you first drag the seeds into the field, then add some fertilizers (for example, shit), and the seeds will grow and bear fruit automatically.

   The crops need fertilizers to grow. That is to say, you can harvest more than one time as long as there is enough fertilizer. When there is not enough fertilizer, however, the crops will stop growing.

4. Some items can be used with hand

   This is a interesting feature! You can now hold an items and use it in special ways. You can throw it or wave it as a weapon to attack or harass your enemies.

   Items that can be thrown include:

   1. Stone
   2. Big Stone
   3. Stone Brick
   4. Shit
   5. Super Shit

   There are also some items that you can use as weapons, though their performance is not as powerful as the true weapons. This kind of items include:

   1. Branch
   2. Quality Meat

5. Equipment For Newbies

   We have added several cheap equipment to help the novice players survive the battles and life on the early stage, and adjusted some property values of the existing items. New equipment designed for beginners include： 1. Humble Wooden Armour Steam post image 2. Humble Leather Jacket Steam post image 3. Coconut Helmet Steam post image 4. Leather Bag Steam post image

6. New On-the-ground Items

   Several new on-the-ground Items were added in this release. A new kind of material - Clay - was introduced, as well as new ways to gather grass. New on-the-ground Items include: 1. Clay Pile(Small) 2. Clay Pile(Middle) 3. Clay Pile(Large) Steam post image 4. Reed Steam post image 5. High Grass Steam post image Note: Reed and High Grass need Sword or Scythe to gather.

Adjustments

1. Now the Berry Bushes can only be planted in the fields. Good news is they can grow without fertilization. The Berry Bushes that have already been planted on the ground by players can still grow, but players can no longer plant new Berry Bushes on the ground.
2. All planting-related functions have been transferred to new planting system.

Optimization & Issue Fixes

1. Optimized the server delay problem. Now there is no delay when you switch between the domains.
2. When you press E, items that can be put away will no longer be put away directly.
3. Fixed some server stability issues.
4. Improved FPS of the game.
