Patch 16?

[Steve]

This game was updated every 2-3 weeks with a big update. But now, we don't have a big update for 5-6 weeks. What happened?

[Spaceman Spiff]

The new patches were 3 weeks apart up until Patch 15 where 6 weeks passed before we got it. Now Endnight is saying that the game will be formally released in early February, so I don't expect any more patches until then.

There is always a countdown for every big patch in the game menu + they told in one of their patch notes!!!

They rolled back to an old engine version. That takes time.
Then there's also holiday season

And apparently the upcoming stuff takes a bit longer than the other stuff.

Patch 16 is the full release of the game.

No point in adding boats unless they add more islands.. So if they add "boats" it had better be a fully operational (and armed) nuclear submarine.

It'd make more sense than "boats" from "The Forest".

There won't be new Islands in future.
SOTFs islands shape was already determined in The Forest 1, and according to that it's the only island.

Also not everything in this game needs a point.
The purpose of most stuff in SOTF is just having it for fun and leisure. So are boats or rafts.

The first forest didn't have several islands either but still boats.

I'm gonna cast ancient voodoo spells at the next person that says we need islands in order to have boats. Please stop thinking so narrow mindedly, its causing me great emotional distress.

[Nerevar]

yeah we clearly have no need for boats because boats have no purpose. just like i dont know ..... the ENTIRE BASE BUILDING CONCEPT has no actual purpose or use currently either. so how is that an argument againist boats? it isnt. it never was. it never will be. its only shouted by the mindless bois like its an argument.

When you deconstruct anything far enough, nothing has a "point" at all. Video gaming is an utter waste of time across the board.

No, you don't need to build anything in sotf, and I do wish there was a reason to. But the frequently sub 75 iq argument that "all things must have a relevant use or it's pointless" can see its way back to its containment zone (reddit) along with the users that utilize that talking point as if it's some sort of holy grail.

So VR update is Patch17? Hope so and looking forward to be true more than any other release of 2024.

A boat without islands would still be useful as a means of travel, especially if it's safer and maybe faster than going on foot to the opposite side of the island. So either way, having a boat without islands would have a purpose.
