Gameplay Changes:

  • Option for PC Users: Under Settings > General > Camera, TPV mouse smoothing can now be toggled on or off.
  • Skeleton Trophies: These now stack in the inventory and can be ground in the Industrial Grinder, yielding random keratin. Additionally, the drop rate of skeleton parts has been reduced by about 50%.
  • Wind Turbine: For a more balanced gameplay experience, the following adjustments have been made:
    • Wind turbines now suffer decay damage over a period of about 14 days, stopping at 10% durability.
    • At 10% durability, they no longer produce power until repaired.
    • The check radius for structures around a wind turbine has been increased; structures placed too close will prevent power generation.
    • Wind turbines placed underwater no longer produce power.
  • Tesla Coil: Balance adjustments include:
    • The ammunition consumption per shot has been increased to 5 crystals (previously 1) to match the duration of fire of a heavy turret.

  • Tek Teleporter: An indicator now shows on the screen which teleporters are set to "public."
  • Armadoggo’s Spykit Attachment: This can now be permanently toggled instead of being active for a limited time.
  • Tameable Titans: The logic for delayed disappearance has been checked for 60 seconds after creation and unstasis to give players more time to get within range and prevent immediate disappearance.

"Favorite Server" Session List Changes (Beta):

  • Fixed: Favorite servers disappeared from the session list after a server update.
  • Favorite servers are now also displayed offline in the session list and can be updated individually.
