Update

0.5 — 2 new levels of buildings, fixes and improvements

After a short pause, we present update 0.5.12, which is the basis for the largest update since the release, which we are preparing for the beginning of autumn.

Saves from the old version of the Wild Eight will be converted to a new format and after update your character will be at the starting point, but all items and skills will be saved. This is a necessity that will make it possible in the future to expand the world of the game without full wipe.

We have added 2 new upgrades of development workshop and the shelter: they acquired new equipment and skills of your character. Now you can get high-level items by making them out of steel - the resource, which can be created by melting iron in a furnace. The changes affected the mechanics of resource gathering: each fallen tree and the exhausted ore deposit now brings additional resources. Its number depends on the level of equipment and skills of the character.

The update contains bug fixes and improves optimization. We have paid attention to the stabilization of saves and multiplayer, excluding the corruption of saves in most cases.

To make it easier to fix bugs, we have opened access to in-game logs, which are located in the game folder.  If you find errors you may send them to the mail dk@hypetraindigital.com. These logs will be used to quickly find the cause of hard-to-test bugs.
