Fixed the issue of no points, "where you are" icon all over the region map problem.

Using water bottles and energy bars no long cut to third person view unless you have third person pickup view selected


We hope to hear some feedback on the fixes and updates and that you're all enjoying the Beta. We appreciate all of you so very much!

Thanks so much to all our beta testers for your continued efforts. We are listening and working hard regarding all of your suggestions and feedback. We've noticed that due to the nature of how Community Hubs list current news/posts that some of you were unfortunately posting errors that we had fixed in a recent update. Please rest assured that we will continue to listen and work hard. We want to make sure the update list is at the top of our news page and so have moved to bug submission forum to a "semi-private" format for just our testers to use. We will make sure to keep everyone up to speed on all our changes, updates, and bug fixes.

Thanks again everyone, and good luck out there!

- Adding"baits" that would increase the chances to attract/lure the animal we may be looking for on the shop. Baits would be like fruit, vegetables, a slice of meat/fish, etc, and each animal would use what it eats usually on the wild.

- Explorer Option, where the minimap is replaced with a compass, and on the main map your icon showing where you are is removed. That would make navigating by landmarks a useful skill.
