- Sever crash fix, had to roll back a bit - 22 January 2025
Sever crash fix, had to roll back a bit Found the point and reason the server would crash instantly upon harvesting plants trees, etc. I rolled back a little but to a point where it was stable, I'll be uploading another update tonight or tomorrow night after work. The crash issue should be fixed, but some updates had to be rolled backwards, and i'll have to approach those updates a bit differently going forward. I'll be giving out 75 keys to the press for reviews, etc.
- Steam key / curator requests - 11 January 2025
Hello, I have gotten an onslaught of steam key requests! I am working with a couple of devs to fix the issue of the server crashing frequently, which we haev narrowed down to a problem with the harvesting system. I will give keys out to curators, etc when we have fixed this issue. Thanks for sticking with the project, it's always a long and daunting road. I hope to have those issues fixed this weekend, and when the server is up and running without crashes I will give out keys. Working on some more updates, a new bigger map, and getting river systems in the map.

- Looking for new server hosting options - 5 January 2025
Hello! Currently looking for new server hosting options. The server is currently run on AWS, (amazon web services), which can't handle much data and it crashes frequently. Looking at hosting with NFO servers, which is quite a bit more expensive. As a reminder the server files are included with your download, and instructions on how to run your own server have been posted up here on the community forums. If anyone out there runs server hosting options, and would like to host a server contact me here on steam, or on discord.
