Sailing variety, underwater scenery, telescope and more (v0.5.2)

Greetings Survivors,

your sailboats may now be built with two different types of sails, the square sail or the new gaff sail.
The square sail is easy to control and less expensive, but the gaff sail can get you pretty fast and has a wide span to capture the wind, choose wisely!

The underwater scenery received multiple graphical updates, from basic coloring and fog to gentle light rays and fish school particle effects.

Update to v0.5.2:
  • Added a new type of sail (Gaff sail)
  • Adjusted the speed of every sailing vessel
  • Increased to maximum angle to look upwards while controlling a boat
  • Underwater shader updates
  • Underwater fog adjusted
  • Added underwater dust particles
  • Added underwater light rays
  • Added small fish school particles
  • Changed every tropical fish type from armature animated to shader animated in particle effects (to save performance cost and to add more in certain areas without performance issues)
  • Added telescope item (can only be found)
  • Added building structure comfortable bed
  • Adjusted the rotation values for rotating buildings
  • Added a short delay after the first rotation step while building
  • Added the ability to change your tools by rotating the mouse wheel
  • Fixed that breaking plank chests and fridges dropped wrong items (only the items needed to build prior)
  • Fixed a bug where the resolution setting stopped working and didn't show any values
  • Toggling fullscreen on or off will now also need to be confirmed to prevent issues
  • Fish meat can now be placed on campfire spits
  • Fixed that an interruption of the skinning animation will make the player 'freeze'





Thank you for the ongoing feedback and support!
