Survival: Fountain of Youth Update – April 26, 2023
MAIN FIXES
- Animals (most importantly, those good ol’ snakes) don’t block harvesting processes when they are too far away. But they are still able to attack if you come too close to them, so be careful.
- More rocks! We added more rock piles on the island of Hope and on Copper Island. Also, you can now track them with a special marker on the resource map.
- It takes less time to light a fire after a failed attempt: the time of the next attempt is reduced by 60%. Burn them all!
- Added smaller rotation steps for layouts, so machines and buildings can be easily placed parallel to the walls of the house. We dedicate this fix for the sake of perfectionism.
- Carry more! The weight of all equipped items is not counted in the overall inventory weight anymore. Belts and bandoliers are now even more useful for giving those additional weight-free slots.
- No more accidental destruction of a flask when drinking! A confirmation pop-up is now shown when trying to destroy a flask. And you will now get resources back when disassembling coconut and bamboo flasks, as well as a charcoal pile.
- Destroying a badly constructed sloped roof should not be an issue anymore.
- Fixed a bug with the carpentry workbench not accepting logs, if the previous process was incorrectly canceled.
- The solar distiller doesn’t work at night anymore. Had to follow some physics laws here, sorry.
- Tweaked the sounds the character made when receiving a sunburn status. Too much moaning, sounded a bit creepy.
- Steam Cloud saves are now available. However, it is a Steam feature with some known issues, so use it cautiously.
