How goes it Survivalist,
Alpha 4 Release is out and ready for your consumption. It has a lot of small fixes and new additions but of special note the build includes a brand new block placement/rotation building tool that works in both normal and cheat modes and with the new wedge shingle recipes you guys can really start building stuff now. Before placing a block a semi-transparent preview of the block is displayed and player can rotate it using LMB or use the facing direction with applicable block types like wedges and ladders. We’ve added a new hunting knife, bone club and bone shiv weapons and recipes. We’ve fixed the problem where folks we’re unable to connect to a server when entity IDs reached a 16 bit limit and so much more!

So why don’t you head on over to our Customer Portal and login to download it. We’ve also improved our server download speeds to better handle larger numbers of users.

Changes

• Reduced polygon density on the barbed wire fence trap, candy tin landmine, hub cap landmine and air filter landmine for better performance and to keep people from reaching max vertices in a chunk
• When pressing the ALT key in 3rd person the camera can be moved freely around the player. Old state was: when shooting it was shot through the screen middle. New state: the crosshair is removed and shooting is done along the players view

Bug Fixes

• Players can sometimes get stuck in small vertical spaces less than 2 blocks high like on top of a cinder block or trash pile
• Sometimes there are missing polygons in the world
