Howdy folks!

Have yet another bugfix and Quality of Life focused update for y'all this week. The main aspect's of this patch build are the larger issues that we needed a little more time to deal with that didn't quite fit into last week's patch. Some thing related to ammo animation and ejection, a new ammo type, some bolt action tweaks. Check the devlog out if you'd like more info.

This SHOULD be the last of the Update 106 builds. We're moving onto 107 next, and with it some Gameplanner goodness. New props and toys for setting up challenge courses, and hopefully the first bit of event system tools, so you can get objects communicating with each other! Hope you're as excited as we are (to see the absolute nightmares some of you come up with).

Anywho, hope y'all have a wonderful weekend and we'll cya soon!

Howdy Folks!

Happy New Year! Hope you're all doing well. We've got an important update for you this week that is just FULL of bug fixes. We're trying to start the year responsibly by eating our brocoli and getting some of the... perhaps a touch boring things to dev on, but essential, before we jump into the meat of the year.

Some of the larger fixes and changes, related to ammo, weapon functions in code and such will occur during the short Update 107 cycle, as those code changes are 'dangerous' and we want to test them on Alpha for a week to make sure they don't break mods and such, but we've gone ahead and done a bunch of safer changes here ready for main branch. So enjoy!

Our deepest thanks as always to folks who have taken the time to reproduce issues, document them, and share them in the Bug Reports section of the Steam forum, and our new Discord bug reporting forum channel.

See you folks all next week!
-Anton

Howdy folks!

Just a quick announcement for you folks regarding our Meatmas Holiday Advent Calendar Event coming to a close, and when to expect the final builds to go live.

There will NOT be an update today at 7pm PST. Basically I we had to add a new ammo type for Box 24 as well as some code changes, and it would spoil that surprise to release a full Main Branch bundle update (as it's a fairly unique ammo type).

SO the next update on ALL branches will be at 12:05am PST 12/24 (about 5 hours from now).

The Meatmas Day Update will be at a different time as the Advent Boxes, as well... I'd like to actually be awake as folks are opening their presents instead of setting it alive and going to bed.

The Meatmas Day Update will be 8am PST, 11am EST, 4PM GMT, 12/25. You'll be able to find all the Meatmas Day Gifts in the SnowGlobe Scene, right under the tree.

Some folks won't be able to check the update immediately so we politely ask for y'all to keep respecting spoilers policy (No spoilers in Steam forum posts, use spoiler tags, etc.) on the community here until year's end. Thanks much :-)

Anywho, hope you're all managing to stay warm wherever you are in the world, and all of us at RUST LTD. wish you Happy Holidays and Meeeeerry Meatmas!

-Anton

Howdy Folks!

It's almost time for our Meatmas Holiday Advent Calendar to begin, so we've gotten one last bit patch for the Snowglobe in beforehand. The Train can be ridden now! There's some ambient villagers, and just a bunch of final touches and polish we wanted in and hadn't gotten quite ready for last Friday.

If you haven't been with us for a Meatmas Advent Calendar before, this is how it works: each day between 12:01am and 1am PST, the Meatmas branch of H3VR will get a small update. If you download that and go into the Snowglobe, a new Advent Calendar box will be hidden SOMEWHERE in the scene. Find it, open it, and enjoy your new toy! Note that Advent toys aren't fully 'integrated' into the game until each Friday Main branch update, so they will not appear in the Item Spawner, or be available in other scenes until then.

REMEMBER, if you want to get the DAILY holiday updates this year, you MUST switch to the MEATMAS branch using the steps below.

Hope y'all have a Wonderful week!
