- Scrolling through the hotbar to equip items is now possible

[h3]Summary of the last Patches:[/h3]
- Shotgun reload bug fixed
- Deer don't despawn when player is nearby
- Floating Orbs can be looted for gunpowder
- Defense spikes damage enemies and don't block close gunshots
- Defense walls extend down further when placed to each other facing downhill (similar to foundation placement)
- Added invert mouse Y-Axis option
- Guns can't destroy the base anymore by accident
- If the chest gets destroyed the items inside will be dropped instead of vanishing
- When respawning the player gets 2 cloth (for faster bed building)
- The compass is now map oriented
- Jumping velocity is more realistic
- Iron is not disappearing when processed by the furnace

I want to thank all of you so much for providing feedback on the game and sharing the bugs you've experienced so that I can address them. Since launch, I've already released two patches and am working on a third patch now! You can find the changes/improvements I've already made below.

[h3]Patch #1[/h3]

• Short loading screen (4 seconds) for fast travel to prevent players from falling through the ground.
  
• Longer dismount time of 60 seconds for placed building parts. (Press X to remove placed part)
  
• Furnace doesn't overlap chest and can process Gold Nuggets to Gold Bars.
  
• Audio levels of tools has been adjusted to be more balanced.
  

[h3]Patch #2[/h3]

• Tweaked the network settings for better multiplayer performance
  
• Overall performance should be better as well
  
• Adjusted the audio levels
  
• Optimized the overlaps for bed, chest and doors in the base to not block the interacting of each other.
  
• Increased the gunpowder amount that can be looted
  

[h3]Upcoming fixes (coming very soon)[/h3]

• Fixed occasional item loss when using the Furnace
  
• Adjusted jump velocity
  
• Stats UI updating properly when loading the game
  
• Quests are no longer set back when reading old quest letters
