Patch 1433 is ready to be downloaded! This time we bring you some long-awaited features — yes, trees, finally! — as well as a whole bunch of improvements, changes, and bug fixes.
As always, thank you for providing us with feedback and suggestions for the new update!
So, let’s jump into some details, shall we?
NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
- The number one requested feature is in the game — trees respawn now! Finally, you don’t have to choose between a big proper base and saving the ecology of the Survival: Fountain of Youth’s world. Just remember to leave a stump for the tree to regrow — and in a certain number of days, you’ll be able to chop it off once again!
- Art assets/textures optimization. Can’t promise you’ll be able to launch the game on a calculator now, but as a result, players should experience reduced memory consumption, better game performance, and higher fps. Please note that some textures are not final yet, we'll continue polishing them, as we consider the visual part of the game as important as its performance.
- Improved animals’ behavior and animations in battle. A bit more natural and less scripted, a bit more diverse, and a bit easier to control with a new red highlight before the attack (Animal Attack Indication — you can turn it off in Controls).
- Improved Barrel which contains up to 60 units of liquid. Storing water is as important as gathering it!
- Animals’ carcasses now disappear over time. Just 3 days and you can say goodbye to your pet cemetery!
- Native support for Sony DualSense (PS5) and Sony DualShock 4 (PS4) controllers.
BUGFIXES
- Fixed the visibility of the ignition failure.
- Fixed long loading time when traveling from the first region to any other.
- Fixed the bug with a quiver disappearing when trying to equip it.
- Fixed the bug with a stingray getting stuck in the monolith and electrocuting when approaching it.
- Fixed several bugs with loading save slots.
- Fixed interactive objects that couldn’t be interacted with.
- Fixed the bug with Set of Tools counting as an inventory item until it is dropped and retaken.
- Fixed the bug when a character could catch the Burning Sun and Heat statuses while standing in the shadow.
- Visual improvements.
- Localization fixes.
- Multiple small fixes.
WHAT'S NEXT
The Snake region is coming! It is being shaped, built, tuned, filled with features, and tested — and after today’s release, it has our full focus. While we can’t give you any specific dates or details just yet, we promise not to leave you in the dark and share our development news as we move closer and closer to day X! And we’ll definitely have some interesting things to share!
