Patch 1.2.1 just went online!

Bug fixes

• Fixed that when pressing R to rotate while building the camera was opening
  
• Controllers: You can now properly select a signal tower with a signal to discard that signal
  
• Fixed that the drawbridge deck sometimes would not perfectly align with the ramps after lowering it
  
• Fixed some floating fence objects
  
• Fixed the footstep sound of wood on bridges
  
• Small fixes on some deep gaps in the terrain
  
• Fixed the visuals of the flowers at the farm and coffee farm as seen at distance
  
• Fixed some issues with getting the Snapped em all achievement
  
• Fixed checking off subtask for downloading fishing rod when you download "fishing"
  
• No more autosaves are triggered before leaving a biome, as this could result in a saved position for the player in an incorrect location
  
• Fixed visuals of the planks in the ceiling of the treehouse hut
  
• Removed the spots on the vehicle roofs for birds to spawn as they could lead to a network error.

Improvements

• Numerous performance improvements
  
• Improve descriptions for downloads and research items that need to be crafted at a specific workstation like the sewing table
  
• Improved the accuracy of the colliders on the rocks near the oases in the 3rd biome
  
• Improved the texture on the capybaras to be of a higher resolution (without increasing memory)

The Wildlife Update brings a brand-new way to document your off-grid journey. You can now discover an expanded fauna ecosystem featuring 34 unique animal species roaming across the Outbound's four distinct biomes.

Visit the new Wildlife Outpost in the first biome to download the blueprint for a craftable camera. Fine-tune your shots with professional settings, including Exposure/Brightness, Depth of Field focus points, Saturation, Contrast, and Zoom. Every photo is saved directly to your Steam library and to your hard drive.

The camera automatically detects animals in view. Framing a species and taking a crisp shot logs the animal as 'collected' in a brand-new tab in your personal journal.

The static binoculars found across the world can now be used to view long-distance when you don’t have your camera to zoom in just yet.

A new wooden foundation is added, which has a closed wood floor instead of slats. This is immediately available in the build menu; No new blueprint needed. Based on community feedback, the fishing interaction prompt now only appears while standing still, keeping your HUD clean and uninterrupted while exploring and walking in the water. Also, we added two more rear-view mirror Charms!

• A lively world, full of wild animals, birds, and insects (34 species in total)!
  
• A camera with lots of customization options: Saturation, brightness, contrast, and depth of field.
  
• Taking photos and saving them on your computer and in Steam.
  
• All wildlife is detected in camera view. When an animal is sufficiently in view and a picture is taken, this animal is noted down in a new tab in your journal as 'collected'.
  
• An outpost was added in the first biome, in which you can download the blueprint for a craftable camera.
  
• The static binoculars that were already in the game can be looked through. After crafting the camera, they can also be used to take pictures.
  
• A new wooden foundation is added, which has a closed wood floor instead of slats. This is immediately available in the build menu; No new blueprint needed.
  
• The fishing interaction is now only shown while standing still. Having it shown while walking/running was getting in the way.
  
• A new Cap 'n Snap machine is added with 2 rear-view mirror charms and two cute planters in the form of wildlife.

Please note that we are constantly improving Outbound, and there's much more to come. We will continue releasing smaller patches with bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements between major content updates. The next major update will bring even more life to the game, with interactable townsfolk who have their own tasks, quests, and routines!
