CHANGES

- Removed Spear interacting. Can now pick objects off Spear.
- Nerfed UV/Sun Exposure. Overly complicated and hard to understand.
- Changed watch UV indicator to show if you are protected from sun or not. Underwater or in shade will show “None”.
- Improved Watch feedback. Low/critical vitals will now flash.
- Improved Watch feedback. Removed rounded values on vital bars. Easier to monitor which vitals are depleting.
- Added SPF (Sun Protection Factor) vital to watch.
- Removed Sleep vital from watch. Had no effect in-game. You can still sleep through the night.
- Removed clock screen from Watch. Waste of screen space. The clock, date and UV now appear as a top bar that is always visible on any screen.
- Increased Watch size on screen.

- Combined Tarp and Cloth to be the one ‘Cloth’ item.
The reason for this change is so that valuable survival structures such as Water Stills no longer depend on the world generation. Cloth will spawn much as the same as tarps did but more importantly can be crafted from the Loom.
* Note old Tarps will still be in your saved game and will later be removed automatically.

The Campfire, Smoker, Loom, Furnace, Brick Station, and Tanning Rack, can now be placed inside your houses.

NEW CONTENT

- Added new Intro Screen!

- Added new Main Menu and Loading Screen visuals.

- Added new Female Character!
Select from the new character gender option when creating a new game to play as either a male or female character. Co-operative gameplay will assign both genders but these can be alternated from the gender option. Changes are purely cosmetic.

- Added Female Voice-over audio clips.
- Added Clean Character Clothing models for the intro Private Jet scene.

- Added Game Difficulty settings!
Select three types of game difficulties from the new Difficulty option when creating a new game. Please note these settings cannot be changed once the world has been created.

[/b]Normal Difficulty[/b]
Play Stranded Deep the way it was meant to be played whether you are new or experienced.

[/b]Hard Difficulty[/b]
Play Stranded Deep with more of a challenge. Vitals deplete faster, side effects are more dangerous, resources are harder to harvest, and creatures do more damage.

[/b]Creative Difficulty[/b]
Play Stranded Deep without worrying about your vitals or taking any damage. You will still need to harvest and scavenge resources but without the constant threat of dying. You are invincible! Also you wear a nice hat so everyone knows you like it easy.

- Added Animal Difficulty settings!
Select three types of animal difficulties from the new ‘Animal Difficulty’ option when creating a new game. This option is separate to the games difficulty setting for those who like to customise their experience. Please note these settings cannot be changed once the world has been created.

[/b]Normal Animals[/b]
Animals behave naturally set to the standard difficulty.

[/b]Passive Animals[/b]
Sharks and Snakes will not attack. Bosses will still attack.

[/b]Removed Animals[/b]
Sharks are removed from the generation and will not spawn. Bosses will still be generated.

- Added new Player Stamina!
Stamina is displayed by a yellow bar at the bottom of the screen when sprinting or sprint swimming. Once stamina is drained the bar will turn red and a cool down penalty will be applied until Stamina is fully replenished. Sprinting and sprint swimming require and consume stamina. Stamina can be increased by training the ‘Physical’ skill (see below).

- Added new Player Skills!
Skills make surviving easier and unlock different content. Skills can be viewed from the new Player Skills watch screen.

Hunting Skill
Hunting skill level effects the amount of damage melee and ranged weapons do to creatures in the world. Hunting experience can be gained by killing creatures. The more dangerous the creature, the more experience.

Cooking Skill
Cooking levels effect the amount of calories foods give. A higher cooking level will give more nutrients. Cooking experience is gained by cooking foods.

Harvesting Skill
Harvesting levels effect the amount of damage done to resources when using tools. A higher harvesting level will gather resources quicker. Harvesting experience can be gained from harvesting resources such as trees, rocks, clays, scrap, and wood.

Physical Skill
Physical levels effect your stamina and oxygen. Higher physical levels increase how long you can sprint and hold your breath underwater. Physical experience can be gained by swimming and building structures with a hammer.

Crafting Skill
Crafting experience is gained by crafting items, and building structures. The more advanced the object or structure you craft, the more experience is gained. Certain crafting combinations are now locked until the crafting level requirement is met.

- Added Sprint Swimming for faster underwater movement.

- Added new Toolbelt craftable items and Hotkey bar!
Each tool-belt level unlocks more hotkey slots and the next level tool-belt. Keyboard uses 0-9, controller uses D-Pad for first 4 slots. There are two ways to bind an item to a hotkey slot, #1: Hold the item and hold the hotkey for a second or two, #2: Select the item in the inventory and hold the hotkey for a second or two. You should hear a confirmation sound when the item is bound.

- Added new ability to pin a Crafting Combination to the screen with RMB.

- Added Yucca Cuttings on wild Yuccas which can be planted in farming plots.
Yucca Cuttings can be found on wild Yucca and planted in a Farming Plot. Cultivating Yuccas take 48 hours to grow and provide 6 Fibrous Leaves each harvest. Fibrous leaves are used in Water Stills to provide water, making this a viable farming source for water, rope, and cloth.
* Note Yucca Cutting’s will only spawn on unexplored islands or newly created worlds.

Kezdetekkor kiszáradhatsz, vagy éhen hallhatsz, bár az éhen halás nem igazán fenyeget, hisz a part menti sekély vízben is találsz kishalakat és rákokat. De a kiszáradás azért megoldandó probléma, a kókuszdiótejet nem ihatod korlátlanul, mert rosszul leszel tőle. Aztán, ha berendeztél egy alaptábort és nem szeretnéd a saját szigetedet kopárrá tenni, át kell menni másik szigetre fáért. A mély vízben fellökhet a nagy fehér cápa. Ha nagy szigetre mész, ott van vaddisznó, ami szuper, mert medium húst és bőrt is dob. Meg van kígyó, ami megmar, ha nem veszed észre. És abba bizonyos idő után belehalsz, ha nem kezeled. Ha unod, hogy small húst dobáló kishalakat egyél, meg amúgy is, szeretnél körülnézni víz alatt, beljebb úszol. Helló, tengeri kígyó, helló, kígyómarás. Aztán meg ott van a leonfish, ami alapanyag, de az is megbök :D Meg kifele egy növény, aminek a nevét meg nem mondom, mert nem tudom, de ha belelépsz, ugyanúgy megmérgez. Leégsz a napon, ami erősen csökkenti a hidratáltságodat. Plusz, én simán képes vagyok eltévedni, ha 2-3 szigettel távolabb megyek. Ilyenkor vagy keresgéled az alaptáborod, és megállsz feltölteni a készleteid, vagy szándékosan meghalsz.
