No update this week
As you may have noticed if you were waiting for the weekly patch note, the weekend is over and no update has been released.
We tried to enhance the whole lighting of the game, and we succeeded but there is a little problem that will force us to re-bake everything with a lot less luminosity. For now, the game looks like a giant spotlight and every texture seems to shine like thousand suns.
Anyway, because we don't want to break the actual functionnal game, we decided to take our time this week to polish the craft system (which is operational) AND the lightings.
You can expect a big update for next week, we hope you'll like it.
In the meantime, we wish you a happy survival, have fun!

No update this week
We are sorry but a big amount of technical problems are making this week update impossible. No internet, so no serious playtest and a broken import pipeline from Unity to Steam....all good reasons to wait a little more and make sure that we are not ruining the actual playable version.
It can be a good news anyway, because next week, when we release the Scientific Research System, it will be as polished as possible.
This Research System is very complex so it's for the better that we make sure no bug will make it harder to handle for you.
Anyway, you can expect a pretty big patch note for next week since it will be 2 updates in the same time.
Have fun, and thank you for your comprehension.
