This update improves SDNL and adds water volumes for Condo Creators!


Water volumes are here! Players can now place water volumes in their Condos with the Condo IO tab. These volumes simulate water physics and have swimming animations.

There are several water types for visual differences, and you can color the water and adjust its friction as well.




Changes have also been made to improve and balance SDNL!

Workshop models are now adjusted to better reflect the size of hitboxes in SDNL.

You can also disable workshop models in Content > Workshop settings > Workshop Player Models In Game Worlds and the players will stay at normal scale.

Dino Battle has gotten some balancing changes. Dinos now have less health and can no longer grab armor or ammo. The win condition for Dino Battle is now based on the amount of kills a team has (30), rather than a time limit.

Players in 1st through 3rd/4th place in any game mode now have higher payouts! There is also an increase to the “Player Killed Bonus”.


We have fixed several issues regarding uploading Workshop Condos to the Workshop. One of the major bugs was an issue with Condos not uploading when there were too many tags set. Another issue was that Condos that were large in file size (over 30mb) would not upload, which we fixed. And lastly, the screenshot tool now takes pictures properly again and at the right brightness.
