for this build we were mainly focusing on adding Hemp as Plant and also as a Crafting material for Small Rope. There are new Tables, new Bed and a collectible Candle Stand. The Raft mechanic was improved.
The Hemp can be found wildly grow on islands (although it is a little rare). It can be directly used as Craft ingredient or it's seeds can be collected and used to planting in Cultivated Field. The Hemp Stem can be used now only for crafting Small rope - which itself adds more possibilities to the game play. There will be more usages of Hemp which will be added in future versions.
The Tables for now are used to increase the comfort and the storage space but in the future they will get some interesting feature too.
The new Grass Beds and Plank Stool are a nice addition to the furniture variety and make the life of the survivor a little easier.
The new collectible Candle Stand offers more stable placement of the Candles. The current system of the Candle placement will be changed in the next versions and the Candle Stands (more types to add in the near future) will get more importance.
Fixes: 01. Fixed: Incorrect Hit Damage calculation (in some situations/higher difficulties hit damage was near zero) 02. Fixed: A Couple of internal engine refactorings/optimizations
For the next update we plan to work on upgrading/reworking of the ingame Map UI. The additional plans include also the Bird Trap, Bird Cage, Old Telescope, Old Pistol, Spear, Smoker, new Island generator, Ponds, Dolphins, Simple Quests, Building modules aging ... We will work also on solving the new issues and we will recheck some older issues too. Other new features will be added as implementing the planned features and fixing issues will allow us to.
Thank you for your patience and for your constructive feedbacks helping us to get rid of the issues as fast as is possible.
Do you like our game and want to help even more during development? We look forward to every positive review posted on our Steam page and thank everyone who decides to support us along the way!
Please be aware that during early access phase game code could change as much as affecting gameplay when loading/saving savegames from earlier versions. To always be on the safe side make sure to start a new game with each update. Thank you!

Alpha 55.E1 Experimental - Hemp, Tables, Grass Beds, Candle Stand
Hi everyone,
for this experimental build we were mainly focusing on adding Hemp as Plant and also as a Crafting material for Small Rope. There are new Tables, new Bed and a collectible Candle Stand. The Raft mechanic was improved.
To switch between stable and experimental game builds make sure game properties in your Steam client are set to either "Experimental" or "None" (which is the stable branch)
The Hemp can be found wildly grow on islands (although it is a little rare). It can be directly used as Craft ingredient or it's seeds can be collected and used to planting in Cultivated Field. The Hemp Stem can be used now only for crafting Small rope - which itself adds more possibilities to the game play. There will be more usages of Hemp which will be added in future versions.
The Tables for now are used to increase the comfort and the storage space but in the future they will get some interesting feature too.
The new Grass Beds and Plank Stool are a nice addition to the furniture variety and make the life of the survivor a little easier.
The new collectible Candle Stand offers more stable placement of the Candles. The current system of the Candle placement will be changed in the next versions and the Candle Stands (more types to add in the near future) will get more importance.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask us. We will try to answer your questions in detail.
for this Anniversary build we were mainly focusing on expanding the Gardening mechanic with: grass Trimming, Cultivating the ground and making Soil. There are new plants: Carrot and Corn. There are new tools: Crude Shovel, Composter and collectible Old Sickle. The building mechanic was expanded with new Half doors and new Railings. The Stamina and tool Damage mechanic was balanced a little. There are Pirate Ships cruising the Ocean and a large bunch of issues was fixed too.
The gardening mechanic has been expanded and it is now possible to Cultivate the ground by using the new craftable Crude Shovel. It is possible only on spots where no grass is growing. After the field is completely cultivated it is ready to receive seeds or plants to grow.
The Grass can be Trimmed also with bare Hands now - but it needs more hits than a collectible Old Sickle.
The new Carrot plant increases the food variety and brings some new Cook recipes too.
The new Corn plant provides only some limited usage of the Fruit (Cooked and Boiled Corn). The Stalks, Cobs and Leaves will be used in later game updates.
The Composter expands the gardening mechanic in a new way and besides generating Soil for Plants it works well for getting rid of the Spoiled Meal too. The added materials are transforming slowly into Soil - the speed is the fastest when all the 3 material types (brown - sand, green - leaves and sticks, bio - fruit, meal) are added in equal amounts.
The new Railings, Half Doors and the corresponding Half Wall build modules bring more variety to the Building design.
The Stamina mechanic (while running and hitting) and the Tool Damage values during degradation were also balanced a little and now depend also on the difficulty setting.
Pirate Ships are cruising the ocean between islands every couple of days. They stop and anchor by some islands and leave there a chest with valuables. It is not advised to come near or chase them at all - they shoot and destroy everything that comes in their way. It is possible to turn this feature off in the Custom game screen.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask us. We will try to answer your questions in detail.
A valid question indeed! Also I have been wondering when the update, we promised to provide you with, is soon going live, but unfortunately some new issues came up during development and bug testing. It was clear further and deeper investigation was required that takes time. Because of this we decided to not take into account releasing an update containing a faulty version.
As a matter of fact our fulltime jobs demand quite a lot from us and because of that it also had impact on our private lives. To resolve the situaton appropriately we set up a brainstorm meeting to determine the outlines of what postponing means for us as a developer team as well as what it means for you, the community. Our conclusion is: Be it tomorrow, be it today, be it this week - we are not able to promise to you when A54.E1 will be released but we can say it is going to happen some time this week. We'll try our best!
In any way it is not an easy thing for us to postpone the update again but we think a decision needed to be made to keep up the usual quality! Either way there's a lot to look forward to in the new update ... even though the update that will be released a little bit later than expected ... ːsteamhappyː
Thank you for all of your support and passion!
Best wishes & All the best! Chris, representing G4GT
Postponed Alpha 54.E1
Hello there,
we apologize, but we would like to inform you that the Alpha 54.E1 update which was planned to release on 29.01.2021 was postponed to 02.02.2021 due to some private life situations and extreme dayjob overload (mainly last week).
Thank you for your patience.
