The Survivalists News

Hey Survivalists!

A hotfix has just drifted ashore for the Steam demo including:

-Multi-select inventory sound bug fix! (this is the annoying repeated sound when you try to select something with your mouse from your inventory bar)
-Japanese localisation now properly enabled. (There may be an odd localisation missing)

Thanks for playing the demo and giving us great feedback so far! We hope everyone is having a blast!

Keep on surviving!

[h3]More Islands?[/h3]

In The Survivalists, each world is a set of randomly generated islands, each can contain unique biomes which give specific resources you'll need to not just survive but thrive!

Some small connecting islands in shallow water can be reached by just walking across. Though deep water and ocean can be deadly and to get to islands across the big blue, you'll need something to ferry you safely across!



[h3]Raft[/h3]

To build a raft, you'll first need to gather the required resources for both the raft and the sail! You'll also need to build up your camp and learn new crafting trees to put together the components for the raft!

Once all of your resources are collected and your components forged, it's time to place a blue print for the bottom of the raft. Then add the resources to the blue print and whack it with your multitool! Finally, you need to place on top the sail and you are ready to hit the high seas!



[h3]Beware[/h3]

Sharks can be found patrolling the waters and can damage or even sink your raft! Repel their attacks with spears and weapons or try to make it for shore as fast as you can.



[h3]Explore[/h3]

With all that out of the way it is time Survivalists, it's time to explore! What will you discover?

Thanks for reading everyone, we have some more exciting news tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled on our announcements!
