Patch 1587 | Improved Saving System, New Tutorial, and More April 15

Greetings, Fountain Seekers!

We are making the final steps in our Early Access adventure and here goes the patch that will smooth up our way there. Be prepared and enjoy the changes we've made.

The biggest change is the improvement to the saving system, and we're particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on it. There is also a new tutorial, more house customization recipes, the ability to craft using items from nearby containers...

So, while you're updating the game, it's time to look at this patch in more detail. Shall we?

IMPROVED SAVING SYSTEM

The long-awaited improvements to the saving system have come! There are up to four profiles as separate games you can simultaneously play with each one having 10 saving slots. You can save and load them on demand (except for the Iron Man mode).

NEW TUTORIAL

With the game having developed so far, we felt that the existing tutorial should be improved. We’ve studied a lot of your feedback to make onboarding more intuitive and player-friendly.

The new tutorial sequence includes a small island within which a new player learns all basic game mechanics before heading to the Island of Hope. There are new quests and various changes so that players’ exploration of the Bird region is more enjoyable and that the learning curve is not so steep anymore.

Hopefully, these changes are all for the better. Looking forward to your feedback and comments!

IMPROVEMENTS

• More decor blueprints! The list includes chairs (and the ability to sit on them) + a table, a bench, and a stool, as well as several items from Santiago: a wall anchor, a captain's plate, and ship paddles.

• Now you can use items not only from your Inventory but also from containers nearby. It works for crafting, building, repairing, installing traps, and farming. Less leg work, more arm work!

• One more resource management improvement! When interacting with a container, you can now move all stacks of duplicate items with one button (stacks that are both in the inventory and the container).

• Optimized physics of objects and surfaces’ behavior for better performance.

FIXES

• Added the possibility of not using tinder during the ignition process

• Changed the color of the wood material (now houses and some machines will look a little different)

• Added a ‘News’ window in the main menu of the game. Because there will be news!

• Fixed mines’ holes on the Island of Hope

• Fixed the scroll button visibility

• Fixed animal outlines in Concentration mode

• Improved the disclaimer during the game launch

• Changed how goals are displayed: when all mandatory steps in a group are completed, the next group is activated and shown in HUD (so quests with optional steps work correctly)

• Bird Potion balance fix

• Fixed the barrel on the Lonely Rock

• Localization changes

• Multiple visual fixes

SEA WOLF PACK

We're happy to announce that the Sea Wolf Pack DLC is out and available for purchase! It’s a set of cosmetic items for your home for those who want to elevate the naval theme in their homes.

The Sea Wolf pack contains 8 blueprints of various maritime items:

• a ship’s bell that will ring when poked around.

• an anchor to place on the floor of your home.

• a ship’s helm to be placed on any wall you want.

• a spinning globe from the 16th century with the known coast at the time.

• a scaled model of Santiago.

• two historical maps of the New World, the map of Piri Reis and the map of Juan de la Cosa to display on walls.

• a Captain’s Hat with nice bonuses including +100% protection from the sun, +25% protection from the wind, cold, and rain; +5 armor; -5% wound chance and decreasing poison chance.

With the release of this pack, we want to provide you with the option of additional customization of your houses. We hope you'll enjoy this new DLC, as it would also be very helpful for the game development.

Alright, that's enough for now - but not for today, as a bit later we're announcing the full release date (finally)!

Have a great week, enjoy the update, and stay tuned for more news!
