Its up date day and as always along comes a few changes including: Lower crafting times, cheaper items, attachment improvements, bug fixes and some new additions to plant dynamics.

Low Grade Fuel: now in barrels
Starting out just got a little easier with low grade now dropping from oil barre;s. You may find between 5-8 + a bit more crude oil than before 15-19. This is going ot make getting that first furnace a little easier.

Plant Hydration
Helk added new improvements to the planting system this week. Keeping your plants hydrated will be the key to a better yield, Watered plants will now produce more resources and will be a nice healthy green colour, while unwatered plants will not look so good and yield lower results.

Food Changes
With the incoming changes to the planting system not only will the yield be higher but corn and pumpkins will now be more nutritious delivering around 100 calories each. Meat has been changed a little aswell, bear meat has been buffed while chicken and wolf meat has been nerfed.

Holosight Improvements
Helk has been working on a new look to the holosight especially the reticle making it easier to be seen while shooting

Crafting Times Lowered
The crafting of a few different items have been shortened, this includes: Bolt Action Rifle, Assault Rifle, Semi-Auto Rifle, Semi-Auto Pistol, Thompson, Custom smg, Wooden Arrows, Snap Trap, Auto Turret. Exact times of crafting is not evdient as yet.

Cost Reduction
Some items have now lowered in cost to craft these include:
Double Barrel Shotgun, Landmine, Metal Barricade and the Bone Knife

f1 Grenade no longer good for raiding
The F1 Grenade will no longer cause very much damage on building entities and are more for pvp, however these will now be cheaper to craft


Skins Fixed
This is something players have been waiting for for awhile now, custom skins should finally be fixed and all the ones that were not working in game should now be working

Easier Pickup
Picking up dropped items should now be easier as Andre has changed the dynamics of dropped items

Recycler Is Quieter: Sound Carries Further.
You kknow how using the recycler meant blasting your ear drums??? this should no longer bbe an issue however the sound can now be heard from a further distance.

Phantom Bow Shot Removed
Ever freaked out because after you shoot your bow you hear a corresponding bow shot???? well freak no more, this was a bug which has now been corrected so the only shots you will hear now will be your own or the sneaky little ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that was in that bush.

Besides the above stuff there will be a few server sided fixes applied aswell which hopefully improves performance.

So i decided to give something back to you guys for all your love and suuport so.......... each wipe cycle the top voter for the server will recieve a $20 AUD steam card. The winner of this wipe cycle (2 weeks) is msh3213. We thank you all for your support and happy gaming :)

Unfortunately the host was playing with server files and stuffed the server up so it was not loading anything, as a result i had to do a full reinstall of the server, this means the map did get wiped, you will have to start again. I sincerely apologise guys but this was something uncontrolled on my end.

After a long discussion between players and admins we have decided to wipe the server 2 days early. Server will be wiped in 1 hour from now
