Update 0.4.147 Available Now!

*Third person melee combat is now fully functional

With the new AI pathfinding and behavior system, we revamped and revived many of the creatures. The AI system allows for more detailed stealth gameplay, which we’ve started in this version.

New Creatures
Minotaur and Elida have been added in this version. Be careful, they are not exactly friendly!

Hearing Radius
Each creature now has a hearing radius based on it’s species and its life cycle maturity. Depending on your actions, a certain amount of noise is created. The louder your actions are, the easier it will be for predators to hunt you down.

Line of Sight and Viewing Cone
A creature's amount of eyes and maturity has an influence on its sight. It’s sense of vision will allow the creature to hunt and attack, but can be obscured with obstacles, forcing the creature to depend on its other fierce senses.

Crash Site Persistence

Crash Site is now persistent in single player with a first pass in multiplayer modes. This will enable you to continue harvesting your crashed pod over gameplay sessions, as opposed to forcing you to harvest on your first session.

Mineral Persistence

Minerals are now persistent in single player, with a first pass in multiplayer modes.

Plant Persistence

Trees now grow berries over time and will yield a certain amount per species of tree. Now having two gameplay states, plants will no longer disappear after harvesting. Instead, they will grow back their leaves.

*Geysers now sport an informative new interact system

Legacy data fail safes and migrations

Some players with data from previous versions would get stuck during loading, due to data being stored in an incompatible directory for modern apps. Rather than asking players to delete, we wanted to find a way to migrate their data. To solve this, the game now automatically backs up data and replaces it with new data that can allow loading to continue, preventing the lockup from occurring.

Legacy multiplayer connection errors fixed

Some machines with different locales enabled would always report that the currently installed version is not the latest, prompting the user to attempt to download the latest version from steam. Our version checking system was incorrectly reading the localized decimal separator as an English comma in some locales that would switch the latest 4.064 version number to 4064, always coming back as larger than the local 4.064. Now the system uses properly invariant locales when reading data from the server, fixing these inconsistent cases, and allowing users from these specific areas to join multiplayer.
