V0.63

Released July 6, 2017.

Dev Notes
Hey Everyone,

This patch adds a bunch of new buildable items, a new weapon, an improved flashlight, along with a ton of bug fixes and some big memory improvements. For buildings, we’ve added two types of ziplines – one that can be attached tree to tree, or tree to ground and another more complicated version that works by placing two large gates apart from each other, with the rope being procedurally created between them.

We also added a crane type structure, which will be useful for transporting logs and other items higher up into your base or you can place this in the middle of your buildings as an elevator type system.

A new birdhouse structure can be attached to trees, and if in an area with birds should attract birds, leaving you feathers when they fly off.

The new custom garden, replaces the regular garden. It works the same however you can now decide the size and shape as you layout the ghost. The amount of available grow spots increases with the bigger you make it.

We added a bunch of new small buildings also, mostly decorative, a new fireplace model, a bone chair, a chandelier, picture frames, wooden couch and a new small table

We found a big issue with memory use and defensive walls which was causing each wall built to add substantially to the overall memory and was causing major issues in larger save games. We also found and fixed similar issues on some smaller items that were repeated frequently enough to cause memory to rise.

For translations, we added a bunch more missing translation keys, fixed a bunch of formatting and capitalization issues, and added a first pass of Spanish and simplified Chinese as well as updating the Portuguese translation.

Along with this we added an aim down sight system for the flintlock, a new tactical flashlight, which replaced the old flashlight and provides way more light, added an option to change the color and opacity of ghost objects in game, added a new weapon type, and a new surprise story item pickup that will become a much bigger part of next patch. There are also a ton of bug fixes, and tweaks for the full list check below.

If you are running a dedicated server, you will need to restart your server with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub
