Version 0.47.9 Change Log

Gameplay:
  • Fixed an issue where saving a game with a partially repaired World Forge could corrupt the save file.
  • Fixed the issue where Obelisks were not able to be interacted with and always displayed the text “Not Activated”.
  • Fixed the issue where C.A.R.L. wouldn’t trigger the correct conversation for the “Seeking the Survivors” objective, blocking story progression.
  • Fixed the issue where the Brachylon Trader would get stuck behind the Marketplace tent and never return to the correct location. 
  • Moved the Brachylon Town Gates further towards the Oasis creating a safe zone from hazards and weather events when talking to the Guards.
  • Fixed an issue where the Buried Left Pillar Artefact was occasionally not placed in the world, preventing players from repairing the World Forge.
    (Please Note: this will not fix existing saved games and players who have encountered this issue will need to start again to complete the campaign.)
  • Improved pathfinding and vision occlusion around the Corrupted Camps as creatures would often have trouble following and targeting the player.
  • Void Rifts can no longer open directly on important story areas such as the Octomian Base, Damaged High-Tech Drone and Barr Hollow.
  • Urchins no longer lose health when they eat Raw Chitterling Meat.
  • Players now receive an Airsynth on scanning the Destroyed Escape Pods
