Hi all. It's been a while since our last update, but we wanted to share what the team has been working on. Despite some team members taking summer vacations at different times, work has continued steadily.
New update is in the works
We're thrilled with the server performance improvements achieved in the 1.14 update. Seeing 150 players simultaneously on the KR 5 server was a remarkable milestone, surpassing the goal of 100-player servers that we set when we launched in Early Access.
Currently, we're focusing on two major aspects:
1. A new environment that will completely rework how fuel is obtained in the game. We'll share more details once we have things more polished.
2. Reworking the mount system and adding 5 new animals that can be obtained as mounts.
Steam Deck issues
We sincerely apologize to players using Steam Decks who have been unable to log in to the game due to an EAC error. Rest assured, we are actively working on a fix and will update you as soon as the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Prestige issues
If you upgraded your prestige and want to move over to another server, there is currently a bug in the game that prevents you from obtaining the upgrade on another server. You can easily fix this by deleting your preferences save file, which causes prestige to be resynced with your device, fixing the problem.
Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Longvinter\Saved\SaveGames and delete the preferences.sav file. Then, when you log back into the game, it should give you the prestige.
Introducing the hardcore server
We've been planning a new server concept that offers a unique Longvinter experience, tailored for players seeking a more challenging and rewarding gameplay. This dedicated server will accommodate up to 200 players, depending on performance.
The hardcore server is designed for players who enjoy a more punishing and intense playstyle. Here are the currently proposed "rule" changes for the hardcore server (subject to change):
No code locks on houses or tents
Turrets can be destroyed
Players drop half their currency on death
Weapons deal double damage
Energy drain from walking reduced by 80%
Loot respawns 2x faster
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this new server idea in the comments below!

This latest update focuses on enhancing the overall gameplay experience as we gear up for the Official Launch. We've dedicated our efforts to Quality of Life improvements, taking into account the valuable suggestions from our community on Discord, as well as the feedback received through private messages. Your voices have been heard, and we've implemented changes that reflect your input.
Additionally, we're excited to introduce the new Summer Catalog, bringing fresh content to the game. Thank you for your continued support and feedback! ːsteamhappyː
We are also participating Steam's Summer Sale with huge -50% discount!

UI/UX Changes:
Cooked Bird meat now has a distinct icon separating it from non-cooked

Stackable Items:
Made most of the flowers, ore chunks, and wood stackable in inventory
Any item that can be eaten cannot be stackable for balance reasons
Stack sizes can change in the future depending on how the balance changes with this change
First house cabin upgrade wood requirements have increased from 100 wood to 150 wood and 50 juniper wood separate to balance the now much easier wood carrying. Players can now carry 100 wood in inventory, so they should be spending less time walking back to the house and more time harvesting wood

Devlog #46
Hi everyone!
It has been a while since our latest update. We have been busy working to get 1.14 ready with its quality-of-life changes and some new features as well!
1.14 and a wipe on June 27th
We have made a rework to the saving system after identifying a cause that led to crashes on the servers. We have moved all the saving code to be up to date with the best practices that we have learned over 2 years. Unfortunately, this requires a full wipe when moving from 1.13 to 1.14. We are confident that the update will be ready on June 27th, and all official servers will wipe on that day.
1.14 also includes a weapon rebalance that sees a big nerf to the most popular Semi-Automatic Pistol that has dominated the kill feed for the last 2 months. More rare and expensive weapons will receive buffs, which hopefully makes using them worth the risk of losing.
Building Contest
In the meantime, while waiting for 1.14, we are announcing the second building contest, now with different brackets for modded and vanilla versions so you can really go crazy with customization. Also, the full painting features added in 1.13 will help you get the colors of your yard just right.
Keep a look at our experimental channel in our Discord for updates on the experimental build. We will be announcing there when 1.14 is open for testing with full patch notes.

Devlog #45
Hi everyone! 🙋♀️🙋♂️
Spring has been starting super slow here in Finland, and we just received a fresh coat of snow here in Helsinki. But time goes forward nonetheless, and we have just finished the feature list for 1.14. Those can be read on our roadmap on Trello. We will be updating the progress on those in real-time so you know when to expect the new update.
Last week for tackle boxes
Spring tackle boxes have been dropping now for over a month. We have decided to stop the drops for the tackle boxes in a week, so you will have until May 6th to get tackle boxes from playing the game. We will be increasing the drop window for tackle boxes from a 2-day cooldown to a 1-day cooldown. For the rest of the month and the first week of next month, you can get a tackle box by logging in every day!
1.14 feature list
As we discussed in an earlier devlog, we now focus more on quality of life and gameplay-related changes, not new features. I would like to highlight a couple of things here, but the full list of planned changes can be read on our Trello page.
Decay time increase We want to allow players to keep their houses for longer with minimal maintenance. For this, we plan to add a new upgrade to the LRI stations where you can buy an upgrade that extends your house decay time for another week. We feel that since servers have quite a lot of room for houses now, and introducing motors to boats has shrunk the size and made areas more accessible, we can allow players to keep their houses for longer.
Normal stones can be broken with a pickaxe This will be a small change but allows many more options to build your house.
More dice games We plan to have more dice games finally implemented, and we would love to hear your suggestions on simple but engaging table games that can be played with dice to be implemented.
EU server reset and KR1 placeable data loss
Unfortunately, we had a couple of incidents with the servers where errors filled up the drives of the machine unexpectedly. This resulted in the server not saving items on the server correctly or not at all. We have taken measures to clear up the server files that take too much space, and we have acquired a new backup server where we will be backing up all the saves periodically so we have the saves on at least 2 machines at all times.
Thank you for reading and come say hi to us in Discord!
Limited Time Cosmetic In store
Hello! 🐰
Missed the Easter event? Still feeling hoppy? 🐇 For a limited time only, hop into the in-game cosmetic store 🛍️ and grab your very own bunny hat! 🎩 Don't miss out on this bouncy opportunity!
The hats will be available: 📅 17/04/2024 - 29/04/2024
Here's your chance to support the developers and look adorably bunny-ish at the same time!
Update details
Here's the updated devlog with the changes wrapped in the Steam list format:
Update on mining rig and boat attachments
We felt like the mining rig was not up to our standards and wanted to give it more love in the style of a new information screen that explains to you in detail how much your mining rig is producing! We also made changes to how the ores drop and where you place it makes an impact. Each of the regions in the game, for example, grass, autumn, spring, and snow, have different possible ores that are included in the yields that can be mined.
Boats now also have 3 new items that can be attached to them with an advanced workbench:
2 motors with different fuels
A storage that allows you to pack extra for the trip or bring home a bigger fishing catch
Bug fixes
Here are also bug fixes that we managed to fix:
Chest found from Treasure map will no longer respawn
Fixed bug where adding batteries to mini turret would make them empty
Fixed bug on steam inventory where keys would show up as duplicate
Fixed an item duplication exploit when placing item
Made farming collar harder to obtain
Applied fix for players using exploit to create clones of themselves
Devlog #44
Good Friday to everyone! 😊
It's been so nice seeing many of you trying out the new update and coming back to the game. I hope you have enjoyed your time on the Longvinter island. If you haven't tried the new update yet, you can still play this weekend and get an Easter bunny drop. The drops will stop on Monday, so this is your last chance!
What is coming moving forward
The next major update (1.14) will not focus on adding any new major features but rather on refining and fixing the current game to a much better state. We have prioritized adding new things over fixing existing issues because we didn't want to fix everything only for it to break again after the next update. However, we now feel that it's a good moment to pause for a second and thoroughly go through all aspects of the game to make changes that will improve it. But don't worry, we will be planning and creating new assets constantly to have a big update after 1.14!
Update 1.14 will also have some new features that can be easily implemented but have a big impact. We will go over these in more detail in the coming Friday Devlogs.
The launch of the 1.13 update went pretty smoothly, but there have been quite a number of issues that were found. Here is a small recap of all the bug fixes we have done after the 1.13 update:
Fixed the spring tackle box drop table missing some items
Fixed a bug where picking up a shop shelf made it a normal vending machine
Fixed a bug where PVE server players could not open storage boxes that had no house near them
Attempted to fix the violent rubber band movement of boats
Filemon outpost now gives the correct 5Mk for wood instead of 0
New face cosmetic items now have correct icons for female variants
Added an image cache feature for Steam items that will make loading the Steam inventory in-game much faster
The Farming Compendium quest can now be completed again
Improved the character customization screen to not load everything at once to prevent crashing issues
Fixed a shop having a wrong item in the sale tab
Campfires in snow areas now give enough energy to heal over the snow energy drain
Upgrading the LRI station global inventory now takes the correct amount of Mk from the player
Fixed the Farming Compendium not being able to be completed
Adjusted fireweed rotation
Fixed a bug where shop vendors become normal vendors after server restart
Fixed a bug that caused Prestige upgrades to not work on the first upgrade
Fixed a bug that caused the container UI to remain open and unable to be closed
Resolved an issue where players were unable to exit the house after aiming, requiring a server restart to fix
Corrected a bug that prevented female faces from being properly selected on the character edit screen
Added a clarifying note to the scoreboard, indicating that scores will be added to the leaderboard upon logging off
Implemented a new script that synchronizes the stated team score with your leaderboard score (please note that you must log off for the score to be saved)
Fixed an issue where entering the mining rig could teleport the player back to the dock, and also fixed an issue where upgrading a house could teleport the player back to Sgt. Lake
Resolved a bug that caused ingots in the smelter to keep refilling after server restarts
Addressed an exploit where vendors incorrectly gave score for both buying and selling (now, only selling counts towards the score, and the item must cost at least 100 Mk to be eligible; stacks of cash no longer contribute to the score; players who have gained unusually high scores using this exploit will have their scores reset for this month)
Players who are not allowed in a home will now be teleported out to prevent tent abuse
Fixed a bug where the mining rig would stop working after it had filled once
Reduced the effectiveness of fishing spots in safe zones to encourage players to explore different spots outside of safe zones
Reduced the score gained from fishing by 66% to better balance it with other activities
Fixed the /kill timer, which should now work as intended
Fixed a bug that allowed players to duplicate signs
Fixed an issue where the Painting Station would not return items when the player moved away
Fixed an infinite coal bug with the smelter
Fixed a bug where the Team bubble would appear randomly
Fixed a bug where the Large Dinghy showed building blocked areas even when it could be placed in them
Improved the smoothness of the joining process
Added another fix to boat physics (attachment replication is still broken)
Added missing swimming sounds
Fixed a bug that allowed players to open the cooking interface while using the workbench
Increased the maximum price increase that players can set for vendors from 500% to 800%
Increased the prices for water canister, mystery bag, salt, black pepper, and tarp to better match their usefulness in the game
Added a new banning method
Fixed a bug that prevented players from inserting items into the global vault from player shops
Implemented a 30-second cooldown for placing tents at the start of the game to prevent abuse
Resolved an issue where the Market, Mining Rig, and Windmill would teleport players back to the dock upon entering (players should now be able to enter these structures correctly)
Update 1.13
We're thrilled to announce that Update 1.13 is just around the corner! We will be updating all the official servers to version 1.13 today at 12PM. This update includes a full server reset for the official servers to provide a fresh, exciting experience for everyone.

🐣 Uuvana Team 🐣

Option to toggle Q-hold view change in general settings.
Introduced a prestige system for resetting compendium, money, and progression for additional house slots. Prestige stays with the player on other servers and is not reset when the server is wiped.
Added more paths to upgrading the tent. It can now be upgraded to a shop, mining rig, or water mill that have unique benefits but can be raided, so beware. You are also required to have at least 1 cabin before upgrading to others.

Spring Biome introduced on the west side islands, featuring new flowers.
Added Roaming NPC that collects items found on the map and trades them for Mk.

Fixes
Team scores now persist when switching teams.
Admin panel button hidden for non-admin players.
Chat messages limited to 160 characters.
Getting ping to server caused a lot of lag when the server was highly populated. Made a new method of getting the ping that does not cause lagging.
Fireplace healing is now capped to 4 concurrent to bring maximum healing effect to prevent overhealing.
Monthly scoreboard and new dynamic events
To make playing more fun, we have added a new twist to the score system we built for servers. All your achieved scores will be counted on a global leaderboard where the best players are rewarded with custom hats every month!
We also added a second type of event where you need to do certain actions like fishing, cooking, farming, or mining, etc. Your actions are counted towards the goal, and if you do enough, you earn vintercoins, and the best players are also rewarded with a custom hat with a special effect.
PVE Adjustments
Turrets no longer engage players since they can't do damage.
Plants cannot be picked up.
Chests cannot be opened on other players' yards.
Greenhouse cannot be entered if you don't own it.
Weather station cannot be stolen from.
New Spring Catalog
