• Revamped notebook - The player notebook is slimmer and more organized than ever,
  
• Clear your path - Cut down big palms, logs, stumps, and branches to clear your path all through the Amazon.

We’re really happy with your engagement in the Pre Update Beta - 60% of players who participated declared that they’d spent at least 2 hours playing it! Thanks to information provided by you, we were able to improve resource balance for buildings and gather detailed information about what you’d like to see in next updates. And we’re keeping that as a food for thought in planning Green Hell's future. While speaking of the future, we’d like to make more beta tests of the upcoming updates, with an improved way of getting your feedback, so we really hope to see you there!

Thank you so much for your support during this month of Pre Update Beta tests, and stay sane on the treetops!

May your throughs always be full and pens clear of poop!

Make sure you check our Pre Update Beta, featuring - Treehouses! Here're instructions on how you can join here!

And if you're going to party tonight, maybe take it easy on the ayahuasca 💚

Hey Adventurers,

If you remember our road map, we teased that the Building Update will have features like Tree Houses, Footbridge, Triangle Constructions and Doors - but we’ve decided to extend this list by a lot. And before we fully release it, we’d really like to know your opinion on its contents and balance - that is why we proudly announce the opening of the Pre Update Beta (PUB in short) where you can test the new work-in-progress update to your heart’s content!

• Whole new mechanic of building on trees - Wooden / Bamboo Tree House, Wooden / Bamboo Tree Platform and a Footbridge connecting the aforementioned. There is also a new Climbing Place construction which is necessary for reaching the treetops. A Tree House can be built on the biggest tree you’ll see around - the one covered with Indigo Blue Leptonia Mushrooms and Banisteriopsis Vine. Tree Platforms can be placed on thinner trees, the ones that can’t be cut and are often covered with ivy. Bonus: you can build two floors in your Tree House!
  
• Floating Platform will let you build your abode on water - up to 3 floors high,
  
• New axe - Heavy Stone Axe,
  
• Introducing Triangular Constructions with Wooden / Bamboo Triangular Frames,
  
• Wooden / Bamboo Doors - now you can let everybody know if you're waiting for uninvited jungle guests… Or not!
  
• New building material options - now you can build Bamboo or Wooden Walls & Roofs & Ceilings,
  
• Improved mechanic of placing multiple ghost constructions - now you can place more than one at a time,
  
• New Notepad arrangement - now the Notebook is slimmer and more concise - you don’t have to shuffle numerous pages to find the construction and the material you’d like to make it from,
  
• New option of cutting down Big Palms, Logs, Stumps, Branches - now you’ll be able to clear your path in the Amazonia,
  

[h3]To take part in the Building Update’s Pre Update Beta (PUB), you need to:
[/h3]

• 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 “Beta”, then activate the code: LoveYourCapybara, and select “GH_PUB” branch,
  
• now you can play the Building Update contents before their release - in thePre Update Beta access!
  
• If after putting the code in you still can't see the GH_PUB branch, please restart Steam - and try again. 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 right- bottom part of the screen.
Whenever that happens - please save your progress and restart the game.

Most crucial part of the beta tests is your feedback. That’s why after you close the game, a short Google Forms questionnaire will appear - and we know, it’s a popup, but please don’t skip it!

Below the popup - here's a dedicated thread here. We’re planning some AMA on our Discord, so make sure to join us there - everything will be posted in #announcements and #beta-tests channels!

By getting the survey results and your opinions on both Discord and Steam together, we’ll shape the final Building Update experience, which we’re planning to release in no longer than a few weeks.

Stay sane on the treetops!
