This week\u2019s changes are described as \u201csmall but significant\u201d by Rustafied. This doesn\u2019t even begin to cover just how big these changes are for our players! Based upon how our players tend to build\u2013particularly with the appearance of small, hidden bases. Starting after today\u2019s patch, you only see the \u201cBuilding Blocked\u201d message if you have a deployable or building tools in your hand, meaning that simply running past a small house hidden in some rocks won\u2019t give up its location. \u00a0Additionally, when building anything, the game now checks not just player location, but the actual building location, meaning you can no longer stand just outside of tool cupboard range and build inside a build radius. \u00a0This means less need to place piles of cupboards outside your building perimeter, and a little more forgiving build, particularly in rough terrain.<\/p>\n
On the topic of raids, online raids just got a lot easier. \u00a0Prior to today\u2019s patch, reviving a player was a slow, often buggy process where you\u2019d have to stand, staring at a downed player, unmoving, and VERY close to them, because if they squirmed the wrong way, it would break the revival mechanic. \u00a0No longer! \u00a0Revives are a little faster, and don\u2019t break so easily now, so that if you\u2019re in a firefight, it\u2019s a lot easier to get your buddy back up and into the fight.<\/p>\n
Finally, and of benefit to everyone, Grass Displacement is back in the game after a year-long absence! What this mechanic does is it smooths out and pushes down the grass around you in the environment, making it look a little more natural as your character pushes through the grass\u2013and more importantly, it makes it easier to see dropped items in grass. \u00a0No more losing your gun to the grass demons after a death or excess ammo during a long craft session and inventory overflow!<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s update has yet to deploy, but we should be seeing it within the next couple of hours!<\/p>\n
