Hey Survivors,

this update adds a new skill system to the game which has 5 different categories at the moment (aim, strength, crafting, cooking, breath). Each skill category has different impacts on the game mechanics and can be skilled through different tasks.

At first, some tasks may take a bit longer than before the update or tools will break faster, but as soon as you acquire some levels on your skills, you will become faster, better and your crafted tools will hold even longer.

Update to v0.4.2

• New skill category: cooking (impacts cooking time and food durability)
  
• New skill category: breath (impacts how long the player can dive underwater)

• The watch interface can now switch between stats and skills
  
• Added a new tutorial step for the skill interface on the watch
  
• Added new, smaller notifications for skill level-ups or the consuming of food and water items
  
• Added buildable plank chest (12 slots, can be built on the sail boat but not on the raft)
  
• Crude fires, Campfires and Forge coal fires can now be extinguished with a bottle or flask full of saltwater
  
• By pressing and holding the pickup button, several items can now be picked up one after the other
