Hi everyone,
For this update we were mainly focusing on fixing existing issues, however we'll have a new collectible Old Iron Axe, an Old Wood Hammer and a new Shelter too. Some goods are spawning on Ritual places and some Crates on Ship wrecks too. Pocket slots now have their hotkeys, Player character temperature mechanic has been updated and there are more game changing elements added as well.
The new collectible Old Iron Axe and Old Wood Hammer are the first ones from the list of collectibles that are planned to be added in future updates. The Iron Axe offers stronger hits and the Wood Hammer allows to craft higher quality objects.
The new Simple shelter is more comfortable and in future some complete Hut buildings will be added too.
The Ritual stone spawns some more types of food now. New food is spawned every other day, but the player must leave the island at least to some other remote island without returning to the Ritual stone for 2 days. There are plans for some features to punish the very greedy players in the future. There are Crates on the Ship Wrecks which can be salvaged - the bigger the wreck the more crates are spawned.
To make the gameplay more user friendly, the Inventory Pockets slots are now accessible via Hotkeys (1-2) and due to that fact, the ToolBelt slots were renumbered to (3-7). The Player Real-Feel Temperature mechanic has been updated mainly to avoid freezing during nights with moderate temperatures and only mild wind blowing.

As there were added a lot of new features in the last couple of releases for the next update we plan to continue with fixing the issues with higher priority. The additional plans include also the Map UI, Fruit ripening, Fruit regrow, Spear, Smoker, Sailing UI, Dolphins, Simple Quests, Building modules aging ... We will work also on solving the new issues and we will recheck some older issues too. Other new features will be added as implementing the planned features and fixing issues will allow us to.
Thank you for your patience and for your constructive feedbacks helping us to get rid of the issues as fast as is possible.

Please be aware that during early access phase game code could change as much as affecting gameplay when loading/saving savegames from earlier versions. To always be on the safe side make sure to start a new game with each update. Thank you!
