Survival: Fountain of Youth News

Hello, survivors!

There have been requests for additional localizations in the game, and we are happy to announce that you can now play Survival: Fountain of Youth in the Chinese language.

We are excited to be able to support this new community. If you notice something that looks wrong with the new localization, please let us know.

More localizations to be announced soon, stay tuned!

Hello, survivors! By now you have probably explored each remote corner of the Island of Hope and you are wondering what other locations are waiting for you in the game. We'd like to shed some light on it. So, how about some sneak peak of a Crocodile Island. Can you guess what its distinguishing feature is?



Crocodile Island is a medium-sized piece of land covered with jungle. There are large dangerous animals, primarily crocodiles, but also some boars, short eared dogs and frogs, so you’ll need some spears and the skill to accurately throw them. By the way, crocodiles may hide in the water, so you’ll need to be particularly careful when exploring the island.



In the center of the island there is a swamp where there is a high chance of catching malaria. You can also find an important object for further progress in the story somewhere in the middle of it.



The island is suitable for the construction of a long-term camp. Palm trees grow on the shore, several types of rare crafting resources can also be found there, including clay and mold.



Crocodile Island is one of 20 islands in the game with its unique biome and character. Are you waiting to visit it?

Hello survivors!

We have released a hotfix for reported issues. This patch includes bug fixes and some quality of life improvements. Check them below!

1. First of all, we fixed the bug when axes, spears, arrows and other weapons got stuck in animals and objects, fell through the ground or just disappeared. If something like that happens again and you can't find your weapon, try relaunching the game and looking around for it.

2. Added stability to the character on the Cartographer's tree. Falling from there is still possible, so be careful, but now you shouldn't be able to slip and fall while mapping.

3. Some primitive weapons used to disappear when completely losing durability. Now, all weapons are automatically put in the inventory and can't be put back into active slots when their durability is reduced to zero.

4. Reduced the time of resource gathering from fish and several other objects.

5. Added the recipe to cure Malaria that you can catch in the swamps.

6. Fixed raining in the grotto.

7. Fixed rocks around the Cartographer's tree, in which your dropped bag could get stuck after you faint.

8. Scaled the previews of some objects in the inventory that were too small.

9. For the sake of accuracy, Clamshells were renamed to Conch shells, and Turtles - to Tortoises.

10. Animal skeletons no longer bleed when hit.

11. Improved FPS performance in the jungle.

12. Multiple minor fixes and improvements.

Also, if you experience issues with buildings on the rafts made before the latest patch, try relaunching the game. If that doesn’t help, unfortunately, the only solution is to build a new raft.

Thank you for your patience and support. Please remember to contact us if you encounter any issues while playing the game.

Hello, survivors! Hope you all enjoy our new balance patch. We also made a hotfix for some issues that had been reported. Let's go!

3. Chances of getting injured have been lowered for hard and very hard difficulty modes. It was just too tough.
4. Fixed the bug with inability to upgrade your raft to tier 3
5. Fixed shadows cast by trees.

This is it for now, take care and stay tuned.
