WILDSITE: Demo v0.512.19

We are excited to roll out a major stability and quality-of-life patch focused on improving performance across the board and making huge strides toward full Steam Deck compatibility.

We've tackled numerous bugs and added features that should make your survival a bit less frustrating

BOB: Attention. I have implemented a large volume of code changes. This should drastically reduce your opportunities to blame the system for your own failures.

🆕 What's New: 🆕

• Camera and player movement redesigned to feat controller use
• Removed death animations on animals
• Added new destroy effect on animals death
• Added overheating chance on Multitool and plasma/laser weapons
• Multitool lasers can do damage (1dmg/s) to animals and enemies; use it as a last resort
• Warning messages now make a sound and stay longer on the screen
• UI redesign on Level up and Quest completed
• Added general controller compatibility
• Added Steam Deck controller compatibility
• Added drag and drop functionality (from touchscreen) to Steam Deck
• Added Wishlist button on menus, and a new quit game message

🫣 Fixes: 🫣

• Fixed a bug on Wolves (enemies) causing too much damage
• Fixed a bug that led to UI->Resolutions dropdown having none or few options
• Fixed loading screen on "Back to menu" button
• Fixed enemies awareness level when shooting with plasma bullets from afar (> 15m)
• Fixed Ui->Settings for 16:10 resolution ratio
• Fixed a bug when dropping Silica, Iron and Coal would spawn Gold $$
• Fixed a memory leak made by creature behavior that lead to performance lost and sometimes game freezing for 0.2 seconds
• Fixed visual artifacts that appeared on rocks or terrain

🐛 Known bugs (working on them): 🐛

• River textures are visible at night
• Steam Deck: drag and drop now works only from touchscreen (controller shortcut B + A on controller for now)
• Controller: some UI elements can't be used with a controller or are difficult to navigate to them (work in progress)

Future Steam Deck Improvements

We are committed to make the Steam Deck experience seamless (but this takes time):

UI: We are working to improve the UI experience on the Steam Deck and any controller (right now some elements still require touchpad or are difficult to navigate to them)

Performance: Every patch will include targeted performance boosts to maintain high frame rates on Steam Deck or low-performance PCs

Thank you for your patience!

Cheers,

The Dev Team
