Holidays, Combat Tweaks and a FOV Fix (0.11.17.3)

April the first is the day of two holidays in the western world. We decided to give a nod to them by adding a little of our own feel of them in-game! :)



We’ve added a long-awaited fix for the horse stamina system, along with a few tweaks to the horses’ combat mechanics along with combat mechanics in general.



The FOV console/mod exploit is no more, so you can no longer expect to get sniped from a couple of -ahem- not-so-favorable players.



Oh! We’ve also patched in the ability to rename unmovable objects on your base. That is the basis for our upcoming update, which should introduce per object rules management system to you guys!





Patch Notes (ver. 0.11.17.3):

Fixed a number of tools and cooking recipes that weren’t working properly

Harvest result quality is no longer rounded down

Fixed a problem with decoration construction, where improper positioning would turn the screen black

Fixed breeding server tick to occur upon every server start - the issue made some nodes recovering from a crash to breed and feed some animals more often than normal
