Happy Thanksgiving Big  Update 0.3.0 
A2G Studios would like to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving . I would like to take the time to thank you for all your support with this awesome update. Lots of players have been giving me feedback and making very good suggestions that helps  to make the game better. This is what Early Access is all about and we are happy to be part of it. This update brings lots of changes to the game that we hope will improve game play and give the player more to do. Even though there are some bugs that I am still working on , I think you are really going to like some of the new features.
 
The building system has been reworked , more than 20 new building parts have been added including primitive building parts made from sticks and the ability to build log cabins log by log. I have also added 3 New crafting stations, a storage shed you can build to store lots of items in, and also small grow boxes to grow food in.
 Beside all the new building items I have also added several new POI's to explore and find loot, including a run down landscaping center and a Old Military bunker hidden up in the mountains. 

Animals and hunting are being introduced into the game as well. You will now see Deer, Bear, Wild Boar, Rabbits, and salamanders that you can kill,some are leaving loot and some are not, we are working on this right now and hoping to have it done in a few days, maybe by the end of the week. To start with I have made two different type of spears you can craft to hunt with, Pistols , Rifles, and bows will come soon too.

 Trader Ron has been moved out to the main road for a better player starting experience and he also has a house on the hill behind the shop that you can explore. If you are lucky you can collect a few eggs from the chicken that Ron has. If you save a few of the eggs , later you can build an incubator and raise some chickens of your own. Trader Ron has also been improved with the ability to help you by answering some of your starter questions, he may also have a quest or 2 for you int he future so stay in touch. 

Starter Gear has changed a little, you will now get a used green tent in your pack to. This tent can be set down and picked back up, the cool thing is , it can be used for storage while exploring for a homestead

Be careful some of the Animals can now attack and kill you.

Happy Thanksgiving from the A2G Team

We are working on a really nice update, most of it is finished , just one or two more things and we should be able to send it to you to play. I would also like to take this time to thank all of you for your support of BugOut. The Future looks Bright

Hello everyone , Hope you day is going GREAT.

We have a big update coming soon with lots of fixes and new content, one of the area I have been working on is more POI's and places to explore and loot. I wanted to give a little teaser of some of the things I am working on...

The first I have been working in is a run down garden center, All along the Appalachian mountains people have had little business through the years, but not all have made it thorough these hard times. One example is Johns Garden center, After john passed away his wife just couldn't take care of it anymore, it has run down quiet a bit , but you will be able to find loot there that you will not find anywhere else. Like food seeds, building supplies, food, and other needed items.

O , and about Johns wife Ruth, Nobody sees her much, the story is she moved way out in the woods, became an herbalist and stays to herself. If you want to no more just remember Trader Ron knows everybody.

Next on the list was moving the trader and changing the way the game starts, We realize the way the story is that you are supposed to start at the trader, after all that would make more since. So we moved the trader out to the main road , we have now extended the main road to be a few miles long ( more to explore) . When you start a new game you will start in front of the trader. It will give new players a much better start to the game, and Trader Ron will have answers to many questions you may have.

Next, This is a nice one, No Mountain or apocalyptic game would feel right without a secret military bunker , Right
Well we have one for you , Brown mountain bunker complex, it lost funding back in the 80's and has been closed down. If you are lucky enough to find this and get the code to get in , you will find some awesome loot. Later in the game you will be able to use this bunker if you want to for survival .

For some reason I cannot get any pictures to upload to steam today. If you want to see pics of the new POI's and Trader, look under the announcements channel on our Discord. Thanks to everyone for your support.
