Version 0.1.706 Patch [Major] - Water and Sieging Improvements
[h3]Diving Deep[/h3]
It’s almost impossible to think about Hawaii and not think about its beautiful blue waters. Getting just the right color, perfecting the way the light reflects, and the interaction between the waves and the shore are things we’ve tried very hard to make as realistic as possible.
This week we updated all those aspects of the water and worked on player/water interactions too, adding splashes and ripples to the ocean and streams to make them look and act like the real thing.
Whether it’s the middle of the day:
Or approaching dusk:
Players can make a big splash on the beach or in one of the rivers that flow through the jungle.
Exploring one of the many wrecks along the shore is a great way to appreciate how much dev time we’ve put into making the water, weather, and lighting look great.
It’s looking good even from under the waves.

With the help of your input we made another pass on our sieging system and made a few more improvements. We fixed a few bugs including one that would allow a siege to be started on a base that was already under siege, and mutants can now occupy a base instead of just tearing it apart. We also activated random sieges. So any base now has a chance of getting unexpected visitors knocking down the front door when a player is online.
We also added a trailer mark to the rotting heads thrown by the trophy collectors making it easier to see where the putrid missiles are coming from in the middle of a chaotic battle
