Patch notes for the latest changes:

Interactions

• Refilling water containers now uses right-click (RMB) instead of E.

• You can now drink from snowy or, if you're brave, muddy ground.

• New input prompts added.

• You can switch on on-screen prompts for item actions.

• The crosshair now animates when you're unable to carry something underarm.

• A circular progress bar appears when holding to interact.

Mechanics

• Water containers are refillable from snow, but can also store poisonous water.

• Cooking now reduces food size in your inventory — without lowering calories.

• Wild garlic, wild strawberries, and wild carrots now provide better nutrition.

Inventory

• Tin cans are now treated separately by type — they no longer stack into the same hand.

• The flashlight correctly shows whether it's on or off inside shelters.

• Waterproof backpacks now protect stored items from rain and help them dry.

• Backpack sizes are now displayed accurately when inspecting them.

• Clothing insulation has a greater effect on your body temperature.

• More clothes can get damaged.

Environment

• Added a miniature landscape diorama inside the Weather Tower showing your journey.

• Improved liquid rendering when holding containers.

• Breakable furniture added — cabin tables and chairs can now be destroyed.

• Map start location and Weather Tower location are now accurately marked.

Balancing updates

• Balanced items and consumables available from the starting cabin.

• Balanced wetness from swimming, its more dangerous now.

• Rare waterproof and insulated clothing is even rarer now.

• Balanced getting dry to make it harder. It won't happen until certain conditions are met, e.g. the world temperature is above 2C.

• All shelters now start at the world temperature, its easier to die at the start.

• Fires are harder to maintain in storms, look for rocky outcrops if you are outside.
