Experimental V5.01 (Multiplayer and more)
Experimental V5.01 is now available in a beta branch. To access it, right click the game in your Steam library and hit properties. There you will find a BETAS tab, select Experimental V5.01 and launch your game as usual. Once everything is debugged and adjusted/balanced, we will deploy it to the public branch.
This version should feel more survival like, reducing the amount of animals, loots and food has made things a bit more challenging as well. No new quests have been added in this version but starting over will almost feel like a different game. With new items, recipes, visual etc. We will be making the addition of quest a priority after this update is out and live.
A new game will be required, all older saved games will not work. Please report all bugs, comments and suggestions via the “Bugs/Fixes Thread” here on Steam.
Cheers!

V4.01 is Live
Experimental V4.01 will now be pushed to the public branch. Thank you to everyone that helped debug it. Below is a complete list of all changes and additions.
A new game will not be required but is recommended. All older saved games will work. However, I have changed the map layout and you may have some trees and bushes where you built your bases. You may need to destroy the unwanted ones.
Please report all bugs via the “Bugs/Fixes Thread” here on Steam.
Cheers!
