A new update is now live!

This is just a bit of a teaser update, and does not include all of the planned changes that will be included in the major update coming up in a week or so. This is just to give players a chance to mess around with the new building mechanics ahead of time.

Harvest all the berries!



V 0.7.9.7 Patch Notes (Sept 15 Update):

• Added a handful of basic survival mechanics (gauges in lower right corner):

  • Energy is refilled by consuming Sustenance (green bar)
    
  • Sustenance is refilled by consuming berries
    
  • Harvest berries from berry bushes
    
  • Maximum HP (red bar) is also limited by current sustenance level (max hp starts dropping down when sustenance is below 50%)
    
  • Functionality for temperate (orange bar) will be added in a future update
    
• Rebuilt terrain generation system to include portions of land and water (this will factor in to how the segmented structure/zone building system is going to work)
  

Stay tuned for future updates!
