Patch 1.0.8 just went online! Based on player feedback, we are introducing a couple of balancing changes in this patch, mainly targeting the slow movement, running at night, and lumber / plank, fiber, and Red Ore shortages. This is only a start and we will introduce more improvements in future patches.
Balancing
- Changed
You can now sprint at night.
- Changed
Increased sprinting speed by 15%.
- Changed
Increased stamina regain (regain after empty stamina bar) by 150%.
- Removed
Removed Homing Boots (temporary sprint at night), because they don't serve a purpose anymore, now that you can sprint at night.

Changed Sawmill recipes as follows:

Recipe Everwood Plank changed from requiring 2 Everwood to now requiring only 1 (ratio 1:1).
- Changed
Recipe Silverbark Plank changed from requiring 2 Silverbark Wood to now requiring only 1 (ratio 1:1).
- Changed
Recipe Redwood Plank changed from requiring 2 Redwood to now requiring only 1 (ratio 1:1).

- Changed
Multiplayer highlighting / pinging can now be remapped (default: middle mouse button / left stick press).

Bugfixes
