[h3]MAIN BUGFIXES[/h3]
- Fixed the issue with animals not respawning while the character is in another region. Now animals can do that without you monitoring them.
- Fixed some problems with construction demolition. We understand that currently house building may cause some frustration. Please note that further improvements are still in progress.
- Fixed problems with timings stopping for those who have spent over 60 days in the game. Stopping time would be a nice superpower, but we’ll do without it in the game.
- Cart mockups can now be moved/dismantled. Time to get rid of all those accidentally placed mockups!
- Fixed the issue with the skinning skill allowing to collect more than one loot item. Receiving two head trophies from a jackal was nice, but a bit unrealistic.
- Fixed Excellent Tanner Workbench not giving copper ore after deconstruction.
- Fixed the issue with 2 shells dropping from one tortoise. Those mutant creatures are out!
- laughs in Krang*
- Fixed the issue with machines taking more water than specified in the recipe.
- Fixed bugs with disappearing markers on maps.
- Fixed the issue with the ‘To item’ button not working in the Survival tasks menu.
- Fixed the issue with date palms not restoring the amount of sap after the game session is restarted.
- Fixed the issue with Stone Hammer that could be ignited. Don’t try to imagine it.
- Fixed the description of the Water Distiller: it produces 5 units of water per hour.
- Fixed the issue with Hut Made of Leaves not protecting from the sun.
- Fixed the issue with the Cartographer's Tower not adding enough advantage to mapping.
- Fixed the issue with the character gaining experience crafting only one item from the stack (when using machines).
- Fixed the issue with experience points not counting for the shooting skill after a successful crossbow shot.
- Fixed a bug with Leather Hood and Hood with Copper Plates having the same durability.
- Fixed the issue with drying skill not reducing time to dry food.
- Fixed the issue with the Charcoal pile, Pillar, Half Pillar, and Primitive Oil Lamp not giving resources after disassembling them.
- Fixed the issue with an incomplete Juice Collector collecting Juice.
- Fixed the issue with Bandolier and Belt not automatically being taken into Inventory after losing durability.
- Fixed the canopy layout protecting from rain. You have to fully build it now for that.
- Fixed the issue with Palm Juice Collector window not having the Drink button.
- Fixed the issue of losing clear water in Improved Tanner Workbench after upgrading it.
- Fixed the issue with no information about collectible items appearing on the gamepad.
[h3]BALANCE IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]
- Decreased gathering time for a number of resources and food. No more spending the whole day collecting flowers!
- Increased the number of basic resources in the nodes (small sticks, small stones, massive stones, obsidian).
- Increased regeneration speed for a number of resources in the nodes. Yes, including copper!
- Tweaked crafting timings for a number of resources, food, and house modules.
- Changed the number of resources given after disassembling some modules. Now you’ll get 100% of resources returned.
- The initial amount of water in Natives’ water storages is increased.

- Added a third pile of stones within the range of the Cartographer Tree near the starting area.
- Moved one stone deposit within the range of the Cartographer Tree near the starting area.

- Added a quest on finding Obsidian and crafting an item from it
