DEV BLOG #5
Hello Survivors! Welcome to our Dev Blog number five. The team has been working nonstop on the next content update as well as fixes to implement with our next patch 1.32, set to release on the 31st of March with the wipe, on the Main Branch.
Our next exciting update (set to release sometime in the future) will revolve around a new monument named the Fishing Villages. For us, this is the next logical step after the addition of the Oil Rigs, as this update will introduce a new type of craftable boat (the kayak) that allows you to get to the Oil Rig without depending on boat spawns or having Low Grade Fuel. But the Kayak and Fishing Villages are not the only additions coming in this next content update, in fact if you have access to the Public Test Branch, you are able to craft and test the Handmade Fishing Rod and give fishing a try! Just remember that you will need some bait to do it.
Before we bring the Fishing Village update to the Main Branch we need to test it thoroughly in our Public Test Branch. Expect new content and fixes to be released over there in the coming weeks on the Public Test Branch! Once we are happy with the content and stability we will move it to the Main Branch.
As for our end of the month update (patch 1.32), it will bring loads of fixes and quality of life improvements to the Main Branch. The list is extensive so we will share it in more detail once the patch notes are released, but know that a lot of improvements were made to the Oil Rigs and this should significantly improve your experience when running the monument.
Now, time for a quick announcement related to the upcoming Monthly wipes - So the next Monthly wipe (31st of March) will be a regular wipe as it usually is, but the one after that, on the 28th of April will be a Blueprint wipe for monthly servers. For those of you who are not yet familiar with it, this means that all the Blueprints collected so far in all the servers will be wiped, giving everyone a chance for a fresh start.
This time we decided to give notice a month in advance so everyone is aware that it’s coming. After the April blueprint wipe there are no plans for another one, but when we end up doing one we will communicate it in advance so players know when to expect it.
One last note, I would like to share a quick teaser on one of the upcoming skin packs. This one will release by itself on a special date, so be sure to follow us on Twitter to know when it will be available!
That’s all for today. Hope to see you in our next Dev Blog, set to release at the end of April. Until then, hope you have an amazing wipe!
