Vikings!
Before diving into today’s patch, we’d like to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming April update. This will be a bigger one, incorporating what we recently mentioned, with a focus on addressing the world’s "emptiness" and expanding the map with improved landscapes for building. Paths, more diverse vegetation, extended territories, an actual arena within Survival, and more.
While the last update and this one aren’t tied to the Challenge, practical game-changing progress related to it is coming. Also, we'll soon begin sharing video updates with new features and content more frequently.
Screenshots from the upcoming April patch:




Let’s take a look at today’s patch!
Jörmungandr


Only Jörmungandr’s tail used to appear, rarely glimpsed behind the mountains. But now, it’s far more noticeable...
It emerges at random periods in the distance.
It’s not attacking you yet. It’s just going about its majestic serpent-like ways.
Island Adjustments



Resolved the issue where ships were getting blocked midway to the island and temporarily removed rock obstacles along the route.
Flattened and cleared a large portion of the island to allow easier settlement building.
Added more stone and iron ore around the island for resource gathering.
Expanded the trading options with the island trader. For example, you can now purchase a queen bee from the trader on the land and sell it for a higher price here.
Survival & Other Improvements
Resolved issue where gates and ladders didn't restore full resources upon destruction.
Fixed separate animations for walking and running while holding a torch not switching.
Disabled combat tutorial reminders.
Adjusted compass to better align with the sun's position.
Fixed odd foliage collision behavior affecting character physics.
Corrected issue where characters would sometimes start swimming while on the ship.
Fixed spawn point and bed setting issues.
Fixed an issue where a tree would spawn mid-air at the center of the map during chopping.
As always, thank you for sharing your feedback, guys.
Skål!
