BugOut News

Its time for the Holiday Season and we would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving , and bring you another update. We have been working on bringing Quest AI and Bandit AI into the game, balancing loot and map improvements. This update will bring in a new Loot location ( Old Country House) . You can find some great starter loot here and its a great place to explore, more detail and props will come with the next update. Here is a list of the changes for this update.

* Increased small stone loot again
* Added new POI, Country Home
* Added working compass to loot
* Added hunting rifle to loot
* Added 2 new events to the event system
* Removed some of the starter inventory

* fixed campfire not accepting small stones
* Removed pause menu from the startup screen

Again Thank you for all the support.

Just a small update with a few fixes and improvements

One of the main parts of this small update was adding the new events system that will create the disasters you deal with in the game. Even though the system has been added, not all the events are added in yet. At the moment you could experience a bad storm or lighting storm, small earthquakes, or Radical weather patterns. This is just the start and I will be adding more as the weeks go by. Along with the events system I also made a few balance changes.

* Increased Small rock spawns
* Decreased amount of energy used while walking and working
* Decreased amount of Birdnest spawns
* Removed Hide from the sleeping bag recipe
* Increased Fiber respawn timer

Thanks for all your support.

Fixed Colliders on buildings
Added Stone Furnace
Added Iron Ore
Added Iron Ingot
Added Metal Axe
The sleeping bag now takes 2 hides instead of 4 to craft
Increased Wolf spawn at night
Decreased the amount of stamina it takes to cut trees
Decreased the size of firewood

This update brings quite a few changes from the last update, the last update brought a completely new build of the game, and with it brought quite a few bugs and problems. This update improves on that new build and fixes a lot of the issues with the last build. We had to temporarily turn off some of the gameplay and they will be implemented when we get some of the other gameplay smoothed out. You can see below a list of most of the changes in this update.
