[Game Update] - 513447

Release Date: 06/30/22


Update Information:

Batten down the hatches survivors, we got another swell update for you! In one of our largest updates to date, we've got all kinds of good stuff for you today.   

The Curse of Moon Quay

Someone has been meddling... or should we say, monkeying around with the forces of the Constant, leaving an unstable rift between worlds in their wake. With new sea-faring foes, creatures and resources now free to pour into the Survivors' world, the ocean is more dangerous than ever before... but is this just the start of what's to come?

Once again, thanks to everybody that helped us with bugs and feedback during the beta

NOTE: PlayStation and Xbox players will be getting this earlier than originally posted. Against all odds, the team managed to pull everything together in time to get this out to you sooner than expected. We now expect this to be out today or tomorrow. However, this isn't entirely under our control, so it's not impossible for it slip to early next week.

For New Features see the spoiler below:

That's all for now!
And here's the part where I say some stuff about what we have next. We're not that far away from the next character refresh. Unfortunately, there isn't a single frame from the next short that won't be some sort of spoiler. We only have a few survivors left. So we're just gonna have to remain tight-lipped this time. Don't lose sleep over it though, we'll have plenty for you to checkout soon.

See ya soon!

Notes For Modders

  • Lots of changes have been made to the tile system, see the thread Tile Changes and More
  • player:CanSeeTileOnMiniMap(tx, ty)
    • Both client and servers can use this to roughly detect if a player has etched away the unexplored areas on their minimap.
  • player:CanSeePointOnMiniMap(px, py, pz)
    • This is a convenience wrapper which uses the underlying tile for precision.
