Major Update 3 - Weather! Live Now!

[h2]Dear Survivors,[/h2]

[h3]Major Update #3 - The Weather is Here!⛈️ [/h3]

The island has changed forever! Weather now plays a crucial role in survival, dynamically shaping the world and affecting every aspect of gameplay. The new weather system doesn’t just add realism - it forces to think ahead, adapt, and truly engage with the environment. Every storm, every gust of wind, and every drop of rain can impact your survival.

[h3]Survival Just Got Tougher:[/h3]
  • Fire-making and firearms are now impacted by wet conditions. Stay dry or risk losing essential tools.
  • Water collection is now easier, making rainfall a valuable resource.
  • Rain and wind affect visibility, movement, and planning. Watch the sky to anticipate the coming weather!
  • Lightning is both a beauty and a threat - it can set objects ablaze and even injure you.

[h3]New Wildlife & Survival Features:[/h3]
  • The Wild Storm – A brutal survival event that will test your limits.
  • Warthogs – Aggressive and territorial, these creatures attack without warning. A dangerous but rewarding food source!
  • Critters – Small lizards and frogs can now be caught by hand, with weapons, or even by throwing rocks. Eat them raw or cook them for a quick meal.
  • Roof Construction – A new shelter-building option with palm leaves to protect against rain and wind, ensuring better survival conditions.

[h3]More Enhancements:[/h3]

  • Extended the length of a day and reduced the number of survival days required to unlock items.
  • 14 new original music tracks, tons of new sound effects, and new voiceover lines to heighten immersion.
  • Further optimized performance, including DLSS 3.8 support for a smoother experience.


🙏 One more thing - if you enjoy the game and appreciate our work, please consider leaving a review on Steam! Your feedback helps us continue improving the game. Thank you for your support! 🙏

🤓 Please note: When continuing the game with an existing save, new animals and items do not spawn, as they weren’t part of the original seed when your game was generated. We also teleported you back to the starting beach, as we made some changes to the map and we do not want you to get stuck in the rocks.
However, all new systems and content should function as intended. Happy surviving! 🌴

[h2]NB! We're currently working on a bug that may affect your unlocks in the game - hotfix coming soon![/h2]
