- Update Pre-Alpha 1.11 | Log-Based Building System, Tutorial & More! - 29 October 2022
Hello survivors! In this update we bring incredible features that we have wanted to implement for a long time, and now they are finally implemented! Make sure to join our discord for any news. First of all, we have the most important implementation, we have added a log-based placing system to our building system! This will make base construction and resource gathering much more interesting. This will be very handy in co-op with your friends, as with a team you will work faster. So because of this implementation, we have added a new item, the log. You can obtain logs by chopping a tree down, and you can pick them up and carry up to 2 logs and progressively place them into your construction blueprint. Not every single build part has the log-based system implemented, as for example we didn't think that it would fit very well on chairs, campfires, etc. but we are totally open to any suggest…
