Version 0.1.1570 Patch [Major] - New Mutants, fixes, and Player Suggestions
Aloha Thrivers!
We’re back with another update as it’s been super busy over here getting ready for our Kickstarter campaign on September 7.
Players will notice we’ve added a few more terrors of the jungle this week to keep folks on their toes as they explore Maui. We also made huge improvements to a handful of game features, fixed a bunch of bugs, and implemented a mountain of your great suggestions.

It’s Never Boar-ing in Hawaii
Growing huge from the lingering radiation and eating mutant flesh, the island’s Boars definitely don’t have the Aloha spirit and will attack you even when you're just trying to have a nice day at the beach.
Veil Hounds
Did you ever want a giant hairless dog with wet skin who could chew through the side of a house when you were a kid? Well, you got a bunch of them now. The Veil Hounds hunt anything they can catch and do not enjoy belly rubs.
Kashas
These first horribly unsuccessful attempts at restoring clones are not shy about using their words. They don’t do much damage themselves but their screams attract other mutants and can daze players, making them more susceptible to attacks. We still have some cosmetic work to do on them but these mutant Karen’s can be a headache.
Green Snatchers
A combination of everything terrible you can think of, the snatchers can be found all over the map. They lie in wait just below the surface of the ground before springing out to attack anyone who gets too close. If that wasn’t bad enough we plan on improving their camouflage so they blend in better with the plant life around them. Luckily, they’re most active at night and like all nightmares, fire or bright lights can scare them away….at least until the Green Lady arrives to command them.
[h3]Siege Improvements[/h3]
Since we added a bunch of new threats to your survival, we decided to update one of the oldest dangers to you and your base, the siege system.
Many of you told us that you would like to be able to force a siege on your base. Now you can!
We’ve added a new totem UI that offers the option to make a horde come and attack your base. The number of times you can do this per day is limited by the current tier of your totem, and each subsequent wave is bigger than the last, so be careful what you wish for.

[h3]Player Suggestions[/h3]
- Hop - Add more interactables/lootables throughout the world
- spitfire - Open car trunks like the doors
- Polarbear - At the vendor, when we click on an object before buying it, we should see the statistics
- Hop - Tweak the panting loudness and consistency
- Bain - Make POI map pins more easily distinguishable
- _Adam - Vehicles that have openable doors should have a chance of containing loot
- Polarbear- Add improvised grenades.
- Pistoling - Either have a hotkey for showing stats or have them represented by icons instead.
- StabbyMcStomp - Add a LOT more dips and hills (player height) so that you cant see quite so far through the trees on the flat ground
- Pistoling - Transportation options for the player
- zxqv8 - Add autorun option we can keybind
- Polarbear - Change the blueprint icon which is the ammunition icon by a plan or a document
- _Adam - Desaturate a bit /remove the bright color from leaves outline, it makes me want to interact with it like its usable object
- Hop - Storage box slot UI indication. So we can see how many items a small/large chest can hold
- Ancolius - Road flares, just like a torch but stack-able and timed
- Pistoling - Implementation of mini-game type system.
- WeatheredMachine - Making it so if you hover over the Daily Upkeep and Upgrade Cost it tells you what items that are required
- 𝑨𝒛𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕™ - Make the item font a little bit bigger and easier to see and read
- JD - Add headshot hit marker indicator
- spitfire - Add a few more variety to the vehicles, deformed school buses on the roads, semi trucks, and maybe a crashed 747 in the woods
- Briston 574 - Make the inventory for containers more distinct
- ItsTom - when you can't craft something because you are missing an item or multiples of them it would be nice to get an indicator
- Kitski - Have the bed do something to make it worth the extra cost from the sleeping bag, perhaps something like negating the respawn penalty
- spitfire - Chat box with white lettering on cloudy sky is really hard to read.. may i suggest contrasting background color in chat box
- xstephx - Have a different char stance/animation for 3pp non-ADS into 1st person ADS
- zaccsi - Give spiked barricades a slight overlap so we can place them closer to each other, and maybe give them snap points for foundations/walls
- BamaGuy - Add Coconut Canteens and Coconut Lamps
- spitfire - Deer running animation could look a lot more realistic
