This hotfix primarily focuses on resolving critical lighting issues, gameplay bugs, and the biggest performance bottlenecks. Alongside these fixes, we've adjusted the underground lighting and introduced a new heavy-duty flashlight to help you navigate.
Soon we will be rolling out the first phase of gameplay changes for Orchard Port. While the area is still not quite where we want it to be, it’s getting closer. Our goal for this location is to allow players to freely explore the environment, master the basics of crafting, and discover multiple different paths to reach their *objective*.
