[p][/p][h3]Howdy, Gunslingers![/h3][p]The number one thing you asked for is finally in the game. And it’s a big deal. Like, T-Rex-sized.[/p][p]Meta progression has stomped into Dino Path Trail and it’s changing everything. From now on, every run helps you grow. Win or lose, you’ll walk away stronger, with permanent rewards that unlock tools, upgrades, shortcuts, and cool stuff back at the Hub.[/p][p]Frustrated by starting from scratch after every defeat? Not anymore. This system makes bouncing back way smoother. You’ll kick off new runs with better gear, more options, and a real sense of progress.[/p][p]With tons of long-term goals to chase, this update adds a big dose of strategy and replayability. Ready to see what’s new?[/p][p][/p][h3]🛠️ Hub Upgrades and Permanent Unlocks[/h3]

• [p]Tool System Overhaul
  Tools can now be permanently unlocked in the Hub. Start runs with your favorite gear and jump right into the action. Stone shovel? Child’s play. Let’s get serious.[/p]
• [p]Base Camp Construction
  Use Dino Coins to unlock and upgrade your crafting tables. Skip the slow stuff and go straight for the spicy builds.[/p]

[h3]🏕️ Hub Growth Systems[/h3]

  More choices, more rerolls, and more ways to start strong. The Buff Gate just got buffed.[/p]

  Crank up the pain and earn extra Dino Coins while you're at it. Get serious or go extinct.[/p]

• [p]Increased FoV on the minimap for better visibility and planning.[/p]
• [p]Maps are now slightly smaller to cut down on running and ramp up the action.[/p]
• [p]Day cycle is longer, so there’s more time to explore before the sun goes down.[/p]
• [p]Fewer enemies spawn in each map, making things feel less like a mob rush and more like a survival challenge.[/p]
• [p]Difficulty now ramps up faster, keeping the pressure high and rewarding efficient players.[/p]

[h3]📈 Why This Changes Everything[/h3][p]You asked for it. We wanted it. And now it’s here.
Meta progression makes every run matter. Even if it ends in disaster, you still get stronger, smarter, and more prepared for the next.[/p][p]Your tools evolve. Your Hub expands. Your strategy deepens. And your chances of survival? Well... let’s just say they won't improve.[/p][p][/p][p]Jump back in and start carving out your legacy.
What will you unlock first? What challenge level will you dare to face?[/p][p][/p][p]🦴 See you back on the trail![/p][p]

Your feedback’s been a huge help - please feel free to share more on Discord or right here on Steam. We’re checking everything ːccheartː

Today we’re rolling out our first patch - a solid batch of bug fixes, tweaks, and polish to make your survival smoother, nastier (for the dinos), and just a little more fair (for you… most of the time) 🦖

[h2]🛠️ Here’s what’s changed in this update:
[/h2]

• The following achievements are now properly unlockable: First Steps, Poison for Everybody, Lucky Cowgirl, Fire and Flames, Blood Everywhere, Bulletproof vest!, The Old Team.
  
• Removed a bug that allowed you to craft higher-tier items without having built the required worktable level.
  
• Removed a bug that would cause players to spawn in the first exploration map without weapons/throwables.
  
• The game is now warning you when it is saving. You will also be warned when quitting the game.
  (We are also working on a possible way to allow you to manually save in the exploration maps and regenerate them in one of the future updates)
• Added an option to easily switch display from the Graphics Settings.
  
• Fixed a bug that was allowing you to die in the tutorial using explosives.
  
• Fixed a bug that was affecting your max health negatively when leaving the tutorial map and starting your first run.

  (They will also give you an introductory dialogue where they explain what they do)
• Fixed a visual bug related to the Bug Report tool not closing properly.
  
• Fixed a bug that was allowing you to craft and possess more than 1 mod of the same type, which was consuming your materials and sending the crafted mod into oblivion.
  (This bug was probably also related to weapons upgrades doing the same, but we are still tracking this bug)
• Fixed the items acquired notification getting stuck on the left of the screen in some situations.
  
• Interacting too soon with the chest to pick the mod in the tutorial is no longer possible and will prevent you from getting stuck there.
