Green Hell News

Hello Adventurers,

Thanks to your feedback, we've made some major changes in the quality of life features while using the new items from Storage & Transportation! Enjoy them now on the updated build of the Pre-Update Beta.

[h3]PLEASE NOTE: [/h3]In order to enjoy the new PUB version please start your game on a new save and please reset your keybinds.
Using a Save Game from the previous version of the PUB will cause major technical issues which might make it difficult to enjoy the game and thus influence your feedback.

• Player can now sprint with the Sled at the cost of increased stamina depletion,
  
• Capacity of the Sled was adjusted according to the ammount of resources a Player can carry in their hands,
  
• Capacity of the Elevator was adjusted according to the ammount of resources a Player can carry in their hands,
  
• A Player can now ride the Elevator
  
• A Player can now send the Elevator to the floor of their choice,
  
• Inserting items into Storage now uses the same keybid as dropping items on the ground - Q. It can be changed in the Keybid Options. It has been changed on the controller as well,
  
• Player can now disable Fast Pickup (removed animation delay) in the Game Settings,
  
• Take max' feature is now added to all storage constructions
  
• Ghosts of storage constructions now display stored items, so they won't collide with other objects after being built
  

If you haven't already checked our Pre-Beta Update, follow the instructions below:

In order to take part in the Storage & Transportation Pre Update Beta (PUB), you'll need to:
- have Green Hell added to your Steam library - and downloaded as well,
- click the right mouse button on it, and choose “Properties”,
- in the popup choose option “Betas”, then enter beta access code: “LoveYourCapybara”, and select “GH_PUB” branch,
- now you can play the Storage & Transportation Update contents before their release - in the Pre Update Beta access!
- If you still can't see the GH_PUB branch after typing the code in, please restart the Steam client and try again. Please note that you won’t be able to move saves between your main game and PUB.

Since the PUB is still a work in progress, it is not impossible that you may experience crashes - this is when some specific commands will appear in the left-bottom part of the screen.
Whenever that happens - please save your progress and restart the game.

We’re still waiting for your feedback in comments, in the dedicated thread, at [email protected], and on #beta-tests on Green Hell Discord server!

Stay sane on the treetops,

Hey Adventurers,

Yesterday was #CapybaraAppreciationDay, and together with Orientarium ZOO Łódź, we organized a fabulous party for Tenebris - the cappy, which we are a proud sponsor of!
Dozens of people lined up in the ZOO to see capybara on her special day.



We prepared a “cake” - favorite Tenebris vegetables, such as bell peppers, beetroots, and celeries. After finishing this exquisite meal and some fans meet & greet, it was finally time for some relaxation: a long bath in rose petals. We’re sure that Tenebris enjoyed that!

Hey Adventurers,
A new update, Storage & Transportation is getting near to its Steam release (date yet to be revealed), and starting today, all of you can test its contents in the new Pre Update Beta! And there are great new features & enhancements to be tested:

• Sled - a new addition for transporting heavy objects which won’t fit in your Backpack. You can put two different types of Heavy Objects in one Sled,
  
• Elevator - a new, easier way of transporting heavy resources to both upper floors of your base and to Tree Houses,
  
• Shelf - a new type of universal storage, that you can unpack most of the items from your Backpack - excluding weapons and sticks,
  
• Hanging Shelf - now you can add more storage space with the first wall add-ons,
  
• Small Storage Basket - a new improved version of the Small Stone Stand. It can hold various types of objects: Stone, Obsidian Stone, Charcoal, Bone, Plank,
  
• Large Storage Basket - a new improved version of the Big Stone Stand. It can hold various types of heavy objects such as: Big Stone, Green Coconut, Mud Brick,
  

Major changes in storage:

• More universal Stands and Storages: one universal Leaf Stand can store both Banana and Palm leaves. Also applies to the Log Stand, the Stick Stand and the Long Stick Stand,
  
• New Bamboo versions of Stands: every storage construction has now its bamboo version,
  
• Increased capacity of Stands: some older Stands, such as the Rope Stand, have now extended capacity,
  
• Improved item storing & removing mechanic: now you can place an item in storage with a single button, and take it out with another,
  
• Removed animation delay for picking up items: you no longer have to wait for animation to complete to pick another item. The faster you click, the faster you pick,
  
• Improved Blueprint Snapping System: you should be able to aim and snap your construction blueprints to already existing constructions more precisely.

- have Green Hell added to your Steam library - and downloaded as well,
- click the right mouse button on it, and choose “Properties”,

Whenever that happens - please save your progress and restart the game.



The whole point of beta tests is to get your honest feedback - what you love, and what not-so-much regarding the Storage & Transportation Update contents so far. We’ve added even more ways to receive your feedback than earlier:
- as you close the game on the testing branch, a Google Forms questionnaire will appear. There’s a set of questions dedicated to every new feature and improvement, and your answers will be helpful to determine whether are they easy to build, and use, simply, do they serve their purpose,
