Hello Survivors,

Greetings Survivors,

the second big update is now available! This update focuses mostly on an improved inventory with a new look & layout, more functionality, increased size, stack movement, more informations about items & buildings and more.

Furthermore, you may as well find and use air tanks now! These air tanks can be equipped in a special slot inside the inventory (just like your toolbelt), to increase the time you can stay underwater, but only until the tank runs empty.

And also, even when you don't see much of the character you're playing, the mesh (or look) of this character was still from a very early stage of the game and received an update too!

Update to v0.6.0:

• New inventory layout (the main inventory is now on the top left and the quick slots on the bottom center)
  
• New chest layout
  
• Increased max. stack size of every stackable item (approximately ~50% increase per item type)
  
• Increased additional inventory slots when wearing a toolbelt (now +5 slots instead of +2)
  
• Whole stacks can now be transferred from the inventory to a chest and the other way around using 'shift + LMB' (Left Mouse Button)
  
• Consumables can now be used with 'RMB' (Right Mouse Button)
  
• Added possible actions info texts on the bottom left in the inventory and chest menu's
  
• Added new weight system to the player (if the player is over encumbered, the movement speed and jump height decreases)
  
• The possible weight a player may carry increases with every 'Strength' level
  
• An equipped toolbelt increases the max. weight that a player can carry by 5kg
  
• Added multiple air tanks that can be found around the world
  
• Added an air tank slot to the inventory (if an air tank is equipped, the player will use this oxygen first)
  
• Added air tank sounds for equipping, unequipping and diving
  
• Added an air tank indicator symbol that shows when the oxygen of an air tank is being used, when diving
  
• Items inside the inventory and quick slots can now be clicked on, to show the weight of this item / stack, the remaining durability and a short description
  
• Changed the layout of the crafting and building buttons and their needed resources
  
• Most crafting and building buttons now show a small description
  
• Updated some textures of the inventory
  
• Fixed a problem where brick floors can't be placed over a shelf
  
• New player mesh (the player character looks different now)
  

Thank you for your ongoing feedback and support!
