Update 0.7.8.11

Systems & Stability

[p align="justify"]We've added extra layers of protection for your progress and fixed some common multiplayer errors.

• [p align="justify"]The automated backup system is now active for Single Player games, ensuring your progress is safe just like in multiplayer;

• [p align="justify"]Fixed an issue where non-host players sometimes wouldn't take damage from arrows;

• [p align="justify"]Resolved a bug where the "Will of Melwas" raid would occasionally fail to start;

• [p align="justify"]Fixed a crash that could occur when picking up items too quickly.

World & Environment

[p align="justify"]We've performed a visual pass on the environment and fixed some issues in the Silent Forest (Second Island).

• [p align="justify"]Improved terrain tessellation - ground surfaces now have more depth and detail;

• [p align="justify"]Buildings in the Silent Forest now correctly protect you from the Plague Wind;

• [p align="justify"]Adjusted how rocks spawn at the docks so they no longer have a visual pop-up;

• [p align="justify"]Corrected the height of trees and fixed collision issues at the Beach Plague;

• [p align="justify"]Added missing collisions to the Crematorium to prevent walking through walls;

• [p align="justify"]Tweaked the time of day in the menu for a fresh look when you start the game;

• We are working on adjusting the lighting in the game. For now we recommend setting the fog to around 30-50% (with 50% being more optimal) and adjust the brightness from there. There will be improvements to how lighting works in the later updates.

Economy & Gameplay Balance

[p align="justify"]This pass includes a significant storage upgrade and various crafting fixes.

• [p align="justify"]You can now build up to 15 chests in your base (increased from 5);

• [p align="justify"]Fixed a bug where peasants would restart their crying audio every time you walked away and came back;

• [p align="justify"]Apothecary villagers have had a visual update to better fit their role;

• [p align="justify"]Peasants will now correctly put away their torches when they start working or interacting with you.

Demo

• We've updated the demo version of the game to match the current Early Access build. The length of the demo is the same.

UI & Technical Fixes

• [p align="justify"]Improved the collision on Stick Fences;

• [p align="justify"]Adjusted the first plague area to make interactions more consistent;

Enjoy playing!
