- Patch & "Creative Break" - 25 March 2025
Hey my Home Survival players, Through some testing, I was able to fix a few bugs and I must confess that this will be one of the last bug fixes in HOME Survival for now. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with some blueprints and FPS bugs, and I'm wasting time and patience. So, I'm taking a "creative break" from HOME development and devoting my thoughts and time to a new project. I hope to gain new insights and use them later in HOME. THANKS to all the playtesters and also to all of you who have supported me over the years. ːsteamthumbsupː Best regards Thomas van Geffen Own Creations Game Studios Bug Fixes Fixed bugs in the forge and workbench: Recipe for iron ingots and iron bars Fixed information display errors. Information is now better highlighted. Fixed a bug with my respawn bed. Players can now set their respawn point again. Fixed an error after respawning the minimap and map. ːsteamhappyːW…
