Stranded Deep News

Hey everyone,

[h3]A new stable hotfix (0.70.02) is now live![/h3]

Please note it’s taking a little longer to get builds out the door at the moment. There’s so much happening behind the scenes for us -- between the world going a little crazy, PC development and our impending console release. We ask that you bear with us; we’re not as active on the forums at this time, but we’re here and very focused on development.

We hope everyone is staying safe!

Stay Alive!

[h3]0.68.01-0.70.00 Experimental Change Log[/h3][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]- Fixed rare possibility of invalid ranges being used for date and time.

[h3]0.65.06-0.70.00 Stable Change Log[/h3][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]- Fixed a large bug where Achievement progress data wasn’t persisting across multiple sessions. This meant you would have to complete some achievements in one session or any progress would reset when the game re-loaded. This affected the following achievements:
‘Call Me Ahab’
‘Working With My Hands’
‘Lean Mean Crafting Machine’
‘Industrial Fashion’
‘Fish Are Friends’
‘Vegetarian’
’Island Hermit’
‘Archaeologist’
- Changed ‘Hunter of The High Seas’ Achievement to achieve when boss creature killed, not when trophy crafted. Previously, trophies could be crafted on custom islands = no achievement.
- Fixed no maps appearing in Cartographer map list if any map failed to load.
- Fixed Cartographer map source buttons not localized.
- Fixed Cartographer exception caused by Steam callback executing code out of order.
- Fixed Grouper Fish not dither fading when skinned.
- Fixed Crafting Ghost not being visible underwater.
- Fixed Crafting not using smallest material stack first. This would leave unmerged stacks in your backpack on occasion…
- Fixed Buoyant objects being marked out of range and being destroyed incorrectly.
- Fixed Trophy icons missing in inventory.
- Fixed Boss display names showing ‘Shark’.
- Fixed Projectiles not breaking when hitting metal seaforts.
- Fixed Projectiles scale being skewed when piercing/attaching to an object with custom rotation and scale. This was potentially causing numerous bugs from undefined behaviour.
- Fixed

Hey everyone,

[h3]A new experimental build (0.68.01) is up![/h3]

This build fixes a large bug that made completing some achievements difficult; also made some changes that should also allow more achievements to be achieved retroactively (not all). It also fixes a bug where buoyant objects were being marked out of range and being destroyed incorrectly.

We’re hoping to push the latest experimental changes to stable in the next week or so.

Have fun :)
