It is a good start at least. Plenty more needs to be done though.

I will be happy to see mushrooms..

What's the code for experimental again?

Sounds good, let's see if it works as intended as well...

I really hope some of these updates boost some performance. Idk why but game is becoming laggy again.

Happy to see positive development.

I switched over to experimental and it does seem trees (and what not) regrew magically in my base.. Aside from that.. Nice.

Finally! :D :D: D
At least half of the broken things since release are finally fixed here....it seems they CAN do it after all!
AAAAND...no mention of any content additions....might not stay this way until release this weekend but this is finally some patch notes i dont instantly regret reading :D

One more patch like this and you devs can push content as much as you want :)

just a heads up, understand that experimental will be glitchy for a while as this one has only been up for a little while.
Trees turning into boulders, bushes turning into rocks and burnt trees, holes in the ground that you can fall through the world etc.
Not able to harvest plants or chop trees.

I really hope those patch notes are true. That is a lot of fixes.

I just jumped back out of experimental and can confirm that the changes are currently in testing, whether or not they remain and are released into the game is something we'll have to wait for lol.

This is a good set of changes... hopefully they are tested before put in so they dont break other things.

Still no mention of the option to have all the dangers to outposts, along with the whole map. But at least it's in the right direction as a whole.

Outpost need a lot of work, lets get this patch live, then ask them to look at fixing the outposts
