Dev Notes
v0.33 – Bone armor, More structures destroyable, Multiplayer player name hiding, Balance, Bug fixing and lots more Posted on 18 February, 2016 by Anna

Hey Everyone,

For this patch we’ve added a new armor type for players, made from cloth and bones it provides double the protection of lizard armor and looks cooler. It does have the side effect of being louder when worn so won’t be as effective for stealth.

We’ve also gone through and made almost all buildable items destroyable. Rock walls, the log sled and raft are currently the only things you can build that can’t be destroyed (yet). Note: This only applies to newly created structures. Old saved game structures won’t be destructible.

In multiplayer games we’ve added a new system to hide player names when players are crouching. This allows you to hide from the other players if you like to sneak around. We’re really interested to see what everyone thinks of this and how it changes players interacting with each other.

Along with this we have added some new player hit animations for multiplayer, put in a new armor formula and balanced some systems including fire weapons and player weight. along with a bunch of single and multiplayer bug fixes and tweaks all listed below:

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