Check out the Farworld Pioneers 1.1 Update Preview!

[The Benomenon]

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that our latest prototype, v1.1006, is ready to be shared!

The team's been hard at work on a major new update to Farworld Pioneers that addresses common complaints and extends the story further.

If you'd like to try out the update, you can access it early by switching to the "update1.1preview" branch in Steam:

1. Right click the game in your Steam library
2. Press "Properties"
3. Open the "Betas" tab
4. Enter the code: updatepreview

You should now be able to choose update1.1preview as the branch. The game will update, and when you open, you should see a different version in the title screen at the bottom right.

Latest Version on the main Steam branch: 1.093
Latest Version on the prerelease branch: 1.1006 (NEW! December 16th)

What's new since 1.096?

Did this massively increase the ability and inclination for enemies and wildlife to demolish and tunnel? I'm seriously considering turning on peaceful mode just to let me leave my base to mine occasionally, without coming back to holes in everything and injured colonists everywhere. I'd never once considered turning on peaceful mode in 1.093. Also iron seems way more scarce? The worldgen seems a lot more grindy and unfun.

Спасибо разработчикам - что продолжаете работать над развитием игры.
Но ... на мой взгляд, тем что вы позволили монстрам ломать блоки - вы тем самым испортили игру, Когда я возвращаюсь из шахты и вижу вокруг своей базы изуродованный монстрами ландшафт - мне становиться уныло, и хочется все бросить.

So when is this going stable?

Can you add Bug report in steam and news and update in steam news?

Bugs in Multiplayer:

1. Objects disappearing:

Description: Sometimes when you take and move an object, the object disappears. (This bug may fix itself after approximately 5 minutes of gameplay.)
2. Enemies respawning in front of the player:

Description: Enemies sometimes respawn directly in front of the player.
3. Player 2 cannot travel in the ship:

Description: Player 2 is unable to travel in the ship.
Error message: "Could not get zdoor entity. Setup fail? Try moving away and coming back. Please report this."
Temporary workaround: Close and restart the game.
4. Enemies rising up after being slain:

Description: When you slay enemies, they sometimes rise back up as if in idle position.
5. Loop in the register:

Error message: "EntityPlayerAI.GetSquadIconMode() unknown taskType=idle"

Agreed, The metal doors and stone walls you make are also useless as the animals/enemies can break through them very easily, The only way (apart from turning on peaceful mode) is to build 5 block wide deep holes each side of the base, Personally and as others have mentioned in their playthroughs i think the animal attacks should be some kind of event, not something that happens all the time, its making the game frustrating (especially for the starter planet)

Пласталь очень глубоко, там где грунт очень долго ломается, а кремний я так и не нашел.
