Wipe Results and Server Update

Wipe Decision

• PVP Servers: All PVP servers will be wiped as requested by the majority of players.
• PVE Servers: We've decided not to wipe most PVE servers, as base building is more enjoyable with abundant resources.
• Asia Servers: Despite the poll results, we will be wiping some Asia servers due to stability issues caused by the high volume of placed objects.

Reasoning Behind Our Decisions

Servers to be Wiped on November 27th

Asia:

• [KR] Uuvana 4 [Monthly Wipe]
• [KR] Uuvana 1
• [KR] Uuvana #PVE 3

North America:

• [US-WEST] Uuvana 1
• [US-EAST] Uuvana 2 [Monthly Wipe]

South America:

• [South America] Uuvana 1

Europe:

• [EU-WEST] Uuvana 1

Oceania:

• [AU] Uuvana 1

What This Means for You

The wipe date will be November 27th. If your region has been voted to have a wipe, it will happen on the 27th. We know players' next question will be, "What time will it be?" We will provide the exact time along with the Wipe Results (which will be announced later). We are also aware of the time zone differences between regions. We hope to see you guys live on the wipe day! PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THE MONTLHY WIPE SERVERS WILL BE WIPED ON THE 27TH REGARDLESS HOW THE VOTE GOES.

Hotfix and update logs

• Re-implemented solution for the placeable overlapping exploit

Steam Deck Temporary Solution

Hi everyone! It's been a while since our last devlog, so let's catch up on what the team has been working on. With summer vacations wrapping up for our employees, we're back in full swing, building the next update. We also released a trailer for a new game, which is super exciting! We'd like to clarify some things people have been discussing, so let's dive in.

Hi everyone! It has been a while since our latest update. We have been busy working to get 1.14 ready with its quality-of-life changes and some new features as well!

1.14 and a wipe on June 27th

Building Contest

Longvinter is part of Steam's Open World Survival Crafting Fest, and we're celebrating with a massive 40% discount! This is the perfect moment for both new adventurers and returning veterans to dive into our vibrant, player-driven world. This discount is only available during the Steam fest: 27 May - 3 June 10 AM Pacific time

• Visit Longvinter on Steam
• Enjoy the 40% Discount by adding it to your cart.
• Join the Community on Discord for updates and connect with other players.

Hi everyone! Spring has been starting super slow here in Finland, and we just received a fresh coat of snow here in Helsinki. But time goes forward nonetheless, and we have just finished the feature list for 1.14. Those can be read on our roadmap on Trello. We will be updating the progress on those in real-time so you know when to expect the new update.

Last week for tackle boxes

1.14 feature list

• Decay time increase We want to allow players to keep their houses for longer with minimal maintenance. For this, we plan to add a new upgrade to the LRI stations where you can buy an upgrade that extends your house decay time for another week. We feel that since servers have quite a lot of room for houses now, and introducing motors to boats has shrunk the size and made areas more accessible, we can allow players to keep their houses for longer.
• Normal stones can be broken with a pickaxe This will be a small change but allows many more options to build your house.
• More dice games We plan to have more dice games finally implemented, and we would love to hear your suggestions on simple but engaging table games that can be played with dice to be implemented.

EU server reset and KR1 placeable data loss

Hello! Missed the Easter event? Still feeling hoppy? For a limited time only, hop into the in-game cosmetic store and grab your very own bunny hat! Don't miss out on this bouncy opportunity! The hats will be available: 17/04/2024 - 29/04/2024
Here's your chance to support the developers and look adorably bunny-ish at the same time!

Update details

Update on mining rig and boat attachments

• 2 motors with different fuels
• A storage that allows you to pack extra for the trip or bring home a bigger fishing catch

Bug fixes

• Chest found from Treasure map will no longer respawn
• Fixed bug where adding batteries to mini turret would make them empty
• Fixed bug on steam inventory where keys would show up as duplicate
• Fixed an item duplication exploit when placing item
• Made farming collar harder to obtain
• Applied fix for players using exploit to create clones of themselves

Good Friday to everyone! It's been so nice seeing many of you trying out the new update and coming back to the game. I hope you have enjoyed your time on the Longvinter island. If you haven't tried the new update yet, you can still play this weekend and get an Easter bunny drop. The drops will stop on Monday, so this is your last chance! **What is coming moving forward** The next major update (1.14) will not focus on adding any new major features but rather on refining and fixing the current game to a much better state. We have prioritized adding new things over fixing existing issues because we didn't want to fix everything only for it to break again after the next update. However, we now feel that it's a good moment to pause for a second and thoroughly go through all aspects of the game to make changes that will improve it. But don't worry, we will be planning and creating new assets constantly to have a big update after 1.14! Update 1.14 will also have some new features that can be easily implemented but have a big impact. We will go over these in more detail in the coming Friday Devlogs. The launch of the 1.13 update went pretty smoothly, but there have been quite a number of issues that were found. Here is a small recap of all the bug fixes we have done after the 1.13 update:

• Fixed the spring tackle box drop table missing some items
• Fixed a bug where picking up a shop shelf made it a normal vending machine
• Fixed a bug where PVE server players could not open storage boxes that had no house near them
• Attempted to fix the violent rubber band movement of boats
• Filemon outpost now gives the correct 5Mk for wood instead of 0
• New face cosmetic items now have correct icons for female variants
• Added an image cache feature for Steam items that will make loading the Steam inventory in-game much faster
• The Farming Compendium quest can now be completed again
• Improved the character customization screen to not load everything at once to prevent crashing issues
• Fixed a shop having a wrong item in the sale tab
• Campfires in snow areas now give enough energy to heal over the snow energy drain
• Upgrading the LRI station global inventory now takes the correct amount of Mk from the player
• Fixed the Farming Compendium not being able to be completed
• Adjusted fireweed rotation
• Fixed a bug where shop vendors become normal vendors after server restart
• Fixed a bug that caused Prestige upgrades to not work on the first upgrade
• Fixed a bug that caused the container UI to remain open and unable to be closed
• Resolved an issue where players were unable to exit the house after aiming, requiring a server restart to fix
• Corrected a bug that prevented female faces from being properly selected on the character edit screen
• Added a clarifying note to the scoreboard, indicating that scores will be added to the leaderboard upon logging off
• Implemented a new script that synchronizes the stated team score with your leaderboard score (please note that you must log off for the score to be saved)
• Fixed an issue where entering the mining rig could teleport the player back to the dock, and also fixed an issue where upgrading a house could teleport the player back to Sgt. Lake
• Resolved a bug that caused ingots in the smelter to keep refilling after server restarts
• Addressed an exploit where vendors incorrectly gave score for both buying and selling (now, only selling counts towards the score, and the item must cost at least 100 Mk to be eligible; stacks of cash no longer contribute to the score; players who have gained unusually high scores using this exploit will have their scores reset for this month)
• Players who are not allowed in a home will now be teleported out to prevent tent abuse
• Fixed a bug where the mining rig would stop working after it had filled once
• Reduced the effectiveness of fishing spots in safe zones to encourage players to explore different spots outside of safe zones
• Reduced the score gained from fishing by 66% to better balance it with other activities

• Fixed an infinite coal bug with the smelter
• Fixed a bug where the Team bubble would appear randomly
• Fixed a bug where the Large Dinghy showed building blocked areas even when it could be placed in them
• Improved the smoothness of the joining process
• Added another fix to boat physics (attachment replication is still broken)
• Added missing swimming sounds
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to open the cooking interface while using the workbench
• Increased the maximum price increase that players can set for vendors from 500% to 800%
• Increased the prices for water canister, mystery bag, salt, black pepper, and tarp to better match their usefulness in the game
• Added a new banning method
• Fixed a bug that prevented players from inserting items into the global vault from player shops
• Implemented a 30-second cooldown for placing tents at the start of the game to prevent abuse
• Resolved an issue where the Market, Mining Rig, and Windmill would teleport players back to the dock upon entering (players should now be able to enter these structures correctly)

Hi everyone! Spring is really starting to make its presence felt, and our new update, 1.13, has been in the works for a couple of months already. We've decided to set the release date for next week, so lets dive right into the details.

Wipe & Update on March 27 at 10 AM UTC

Hey all! We've got great news! First of all Longvinter is in Steam's Spring Sale, great time to invite your friends to try out the game along with the new experimental server update! We will be updating and wiping the Experimental servers tomorrow Friday 15/03/2024. The 1.13 update is not completely done yet, but we wish players could still try and play it on the experimental server to inform the staff about bugs and weird stuff that always comes along with larger update like this one. We will be updating the experimental version until everything is done within it. Please use our Discords channel's -experimental-longvinter channel to report bugs and talk about the update! We will be announcing experimental updates and the exact update/wipe time in our Discord channel so be sure to check in there!

Changes

• Map now has Halloween decorations

Weapon balance changes

Semi-automatic, Submachine gun and chainsaw are the most popular weapons with 85% of all kills made by these 3 weapons. With this update, we wanted to tune down these a bit and make other weapons more serious options.

• Semi-automatic
  • Semi-auto has been the most popular weapon by a long shot due to its easy acquisition compared to other weapons and its constant damage output. We wanted to emphasize its role as Marskman weapon with the following changes:
  • Increased the damage from 9 12
  • Reduced fire rate by 33%
• Chainsaw
  • While we want to keep the relevance of a melee weapon in the game we thought that chainsaw was a bit too good. We wanted to lower movement speed to prevent chasing but changed the fire rate/damage ratio to keep it more constant
  • Lowered movement speed while firing by 10%
  • Increased fire rate by 100%
  • Decreased damage from 16 7
• Submachine gun
  • The submachine gun was also trendy and the global average kill distance was so short that it seems obvious why submachine gun and chainsaw both dominated the place for most used weapon. We wanted to keep its relevancy as the top close combat weapon but we felt like its 1,5-second TTK was too little to allow an opponent to react when shot
  • Reduced fire rate by 25%

Some other weapons were really lacking in damage or fire rate department and we wanted to raise some weapons stats to be better at their intended role

• Crossbow
  • Crossbow was when introduced intended to be an easy to acquire hunting and combat tool. The current damage was just not cutting it in combat or when hunting and we wanted to give it a serious damage buff to make it shine. Although it will still be a bit lacking with projectile speed and reload speed this should give it more roles as a finisher or when playing in a group and bursting down enemies
  • Increased damage from 10 30
• Shotgun
  • The shotgun is also another early-game weapon really just lacks damage and we wanted to give a little damage boost to make it more in line with other weapons and allow you to do more than just hunting with it
  • Increased pellet damage from 3.33 4 (Note that the shotgun shoots 6 pellets so total single-shot damage is now 20)
• Auto shotgun
  • Automatic shotgun was always meant to be really deadly in close to mid-range but it really did not live up to its intended purpose. Here are the changes we are making to the weapon in order to make it compete with submachine gun as the ultimate close combat weapon that uses more ammo and is not as versatile
  • Increased pellet damage from 2.5 3.5(This shotgun has also 6 pellets per shot)
  • Increased the ammo consumption/shot from 6 to 12
    • To make it more punishing to miss your shot and to make this a premium option
  • Damage fall of increased by 400%
    • This ensures the intended role as a close combat weapon
  • Increased fire rate by 50%
    • Makes the time to kill in line with the submachine gun

• Fixed a bug where player could sit in a boat when entering a building
• Fixed a bug where placeables on the second floor were blocking item placement
• Fixed duplication bug with disassembly machine
• Selling all items by holding the vendor listing should now work again
• Fixed quest progression if the user already knows how to craft an advanced pickaxe
• Building contest semi-finalists have a new effect on their building hat

First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who took part in the Building Contest! We were thrilled to have nearly 400 participants, and your submissions truly made it a challenging task for the jury to select the best ones. To begin the selection process, we first identified our favorites, which resulted in 28 buildings making it to the semifinals. Players that made it to the semi-finals will receive a different kind of participant hat. The hat you will have a effect which makes you stand out from the rest! (note that it might take for a while for us to turn on the effect). After that we voted with the Uuvana team and the Community staff members for the top 3!

Here are the results!

• Items can now be placed in the cave
• Fixed ground collisions on the lighthouse island
• Team validity is now checked before sending an invite which hopefully reduces team invite-related bugs
• Added building contest hats to the game

Welcome to Friday Devlog! We're excited to share that Update 1.10 has just been released, and we're thrilled to see the enthusiastic reception from the community. You can read the full patch notes here. To address some issues that were not discovered during the experimental testing phase, we have already rolled out a hotfix. Community Manager Update We're pleased to announce that our new community manager has significantly reduced response times on our contact page and allowed us to be more engaged with the community. We are already planning exciting events and opportunities for increased interaction with our players.

Releasing them now would necessitate updates to all mods immediately following the 1.10b update. This postponement allows us more time to refine the feature.

Few words from the community manager

Korean placeable save loss

1.10 Progress udpate

• Boats stop calculating physics if no player is near them
• A large stack of boats will be destroyed and only a few boats will be left. Boats in water are not affected

Greetings! The team has been working hard to bring you the next big update for Longvinter. I am thrilled to share all the exciting new content and improvements with you. But before we dive into the details, let's take a moment to address some concerns and questions that have been raised by some of our players about our company and the game. Stay tuned for an update that promises to bring even more fun and adventure to Longvinter!

Uuvana and other projects

Modding support delayed

1.10 update

• Fixed some exploits which gave players an advantage over others
• Added a 45-minute idle timer to kick players who don't play actively to make room for others
• Admin panel got improvements. You can now view while you play and also the ability to give players an item set of their choosing.
• Moved the admin feature "Toggle names" into the action tab

Due to the popular demand in our discord, All OFFICIAL EU and North American servers will be wiped today 20.1.2023. The exact time for this is still unclear and we will announce updates in the game's main menu once the wipe has been completed. We will also do some server changes in order to concentrate the community in each region together. EU servers will have only 1 PVP and 1 PVE server. North America will have 1 server for East and West. And 1 PVE server so a total of three servers.

We will be moving to a new ticket system since the Epic games system lacked the ability to easily share videos and images. Chat is usable in contact.uuvana.com We also want to clarify that the big update we discussed in the last Devlog is not finished and will not be released with this Asian server Wipe/progression reset.

• Disabled snow gun since the Christmas event has ended
• Added links to the new chat system where previous ticket forms were
• Improved house cheat prevention to prevent accidental house destruction

This is the first devlog of 2023. Happy New Year, everyone! We hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to take on the new year with renewed energy and excitement. We're hard at work on the new update and we can't wait to share some new details with you!

Asian server wipes

Next update

New weapons

Disassembly machine

Advanced workbench

Modding support

Controller support

All ASIAN OFFICIAL servers will be wiped today 20.1.2023 05.00 - 07.00 UTC time Due to the high number of new players currently playing on Korean servers, we feel like the lag has been getting out of hand, so we are wiping the Asian servers. This will not affect other regions. Our goal is not to wipe servers other than the ones that state MONTHLY WIPE. These are meant for the most active players who want that fresh start feeling. We are also raising the player count for these servers to 75 as an experiment. I will be sharing more info about the upcoming update in Friday's devlog. So stay tuned for that!

Happy Holiday season everyone! To celebrate Christmas, everyone can get their own Christmas hat as a steam item that you can equip and wear in the game after continuously playing for 30 minutes on any server. If you can see the hat in your steam inventory you can equip it from the game's character customization menu! There are also Christmas gifts scattered around the map for you to pick up and open. These give you a random item from the item pool of over 200 items! You can also find red vending machines near the main hubs that sell all the Christmas-themed items so you can easily decorate your house! The vendor also sells a snowball gun which is made by a community member! Christmas hat will drop only during this Christmas event

• Rains are now less frequent [*Houses placed by banned people should now despawn [*Fixed second vendor Mk exploit [*Fixed crafting exploit

The holiday season is coming quickly and we have prepared a small update for you before the big 1.10 update next year. This one focuses on quality-of-life changes and bug fixes so you could have a smooth experience during holidays. And we have an event coming with a new limited-time hat and gun!

Q&A session with devs in discord next week!

All OFFICIAL servers will be wiped today 19.11.2022 15.30 UTC time Firstly we need to apologize for the server instability and chest progression that has impacted all servers. Due to the high amount of loot lost we felt like we needed to wipe all progress and reset the server to its original state so it would be a fair start for everyone. Our goal is to not wipe the server and we managed to make it 3 months of no wipes. I hope this is the last time but I cannot promise anything. The game will not leave early access before all the progress loss issues have been resolved.

Populated servers have been experiencing big issues. After doing more research we discovered an issue where chests were being saved twice and this caused a huge performance impact when all duplicate chests were being spawned back into the map.

• Added fail-to check to prevent chests from being spawned multiple times in the same location

Populated servers have been experiencing big issues. This update should resolve at least some of the bigger ones. The problem was caused by chest save files becoming too large. We applied the following changes to reduce their size

• Reduced data stored in a single chest data instance by 20%
• Made zones that are used for saving chests 50% smaller

Hello everyone. It has been a while since the last devlog, don't worry this does not mean we have slowed down the development. Let's go over some things we have been working on.

Weather effects

Bug fixes

Next year

• Disabled Halloween that's from dropping due to the event ending today

Happy Halloween! We wanted to celebrate Halloween with you and added a new scarecrow item and a pumpkin plant that you can use to craft the pumpkin lanterns. Some harbours have had small decorations done to them to make them more Halloween-themed! We also wanted to give the first Longvinter steam items to our most active fan base. After an hour of play, you will get the first hat drop and after 3 hours you will get the second variant of the hat and community-inspired clown face that you can use to customize your character in Character customizer. These items will drop only during this Halloween event so make sure to try out the new update!

Lag and high ping

20 devlogs released already. Time flies so fast and I'm so proud to look back on how far we have come. Since the game was released we have doubled the item count in the game. Added electricity and other upgrade options to the tents. Character customization, quests, teams, and other great features that have really improved the game and made it already a much smoother experience. This week's devlog will still be quite dry in terms of images but I am sure next time I have some nice concrete things to show you.

Next official server wipe

Boats and bigger map

Bunkers and enemies

When next update is relased?

Hello all. For clarification, weekly wipe servers will be wiped today as they are always wiped on Friday Other official servers are wiped on 17.7 as we have announced earlier. We know that the constant wiping is not very fun and does make the game very grindy, we are planning to make the map bigger so we can move away from wipes after the next update. We are still not sure when the next update is going to be released because we want to make it have meaningful new things. - Nilsson

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. The summer sale is now over but we have had a good increase in our daily player numbers and I love seeing new players try and experience the game first time. Please leave a comment and share how did the new starter quest help you get started on the game? We will be increasing the time we work on each major update. I feel like it has allowed us to plan better and make updates include more features and items. The more time a new update has in experimental the more stable it usually is when we push to the LIVE environment. Our next scheduled WIPE for all official servers will be on 17.7.2022. We want to make the map bigger before we move away from the monthly wipes. We also have heard your request for an official PVE server and we will be making one in the following weeks so stay tuned for that! Let's talk about what is coming next!

The server browser and stability update has been keeping the game relatively stable. We are planning to get the 1.0.8 to STABLE end of this week.

Hi you all. New character customization and the trading update seems to have received a warm welcome.

Unofficial server owners can decide for themselves when to wipe their servers Next week there is the next scheduled wipe (17.6.2022) that we have planned. We are slowly but surely moving away from wipes and implementing the decay as a solution to preventing house overflow on servers. This month we are going to have update 1.0.7b next week to go alongside the official server wipe. And a bigger 1.0.8 update which I will talk more about in next chapters. -Nilsson

All items inside the house will be gone but outside placeables can be picked up by others - This can be disabled with tentDecay server parameter
• Added generator placeable which generates 40 electricity while turned ON. Note that house requires electricity transmitter for turrets to work

• Increased cake base price by 50% to make it worth more than the ingredients
• Made Redfish and Black Grouper from Rare to Epic they don't spawn in Julias Mysterios shop anymore
• Increased Metal parts base price from 20mk to 100mk
• Removed Mysterios bag from spawning into Julias Mysterios shop
• Made Julias Mysterios items selling and buying price increase / decrease much faster when players buy items from the vendor. This makes it that the first person who arrives to shop after catalogue reset is rewarded more. This allows other users to buy / sell to vendors but with a heavy price increase. This is the same system that is on other vendors but on overdrive.
• Electricity changes: - Removed passive 30 electricity - Changed house fuel generator output from 80 110 - Changed Win turbine output from 30 50 - Changed solar panel output from 20 25

• Closing the chat with Esc should now work
• Shooting is now more reliable near objects (Firing cooldown is not started if the gun doesn't actually fire)
• Tents can no longer be placed inside houses or in the void
• Fishing rods should no longer disappear when switching equipment
• Zooming in and out should now work after using the admin panel
• The player should now be able to move when spawning in water
• Increased house exit attempts when dismantling to make exiting more reliable
• Fixed "Show Names" in admin panel. It now also shows names without the waving
• Warehouse roof should now go invisible when spawning inside the warehouse
• Last chat message no longer reappears after using a boat
• Fixed the bug where a character couldn't move if he died while using the chat
• Fixed the bug where inventory didn't work after dying when trying to place an item
• Fixed placeables disappearing when dying while placing
• Increased the house enter attempts so house enter should now be more reliable
• Fixed player color and spawn location back to normal before EOS update
• Locally hosted servers can now be joined from server browser again

This week's update is here a bit early. Here are all the changes that made it in:

• Fixed the turret bug where they would shoot their owner while aiming down a gun
• Fixed the melee exploit
• Added "a share house with team" button in the workbench menu
• Made admin log events do line break instead of overflow
• Fixed a crash that was caused by discord not running on a machine
• Linux now enabled for EAC
• Achievements are now re-enabled
• Fixed energy drink exploit
• Fixed the vendor window opening twice bug
• Servers are now sorted by region in the server browser
• You can now also search servers by a tag if you created a custom one and want to find it quicker, check out the server documentation on how to add a tag to your server
• Changed tarp price from 5 -> 40 mk and made it from common to rare
• Decreased the Planter Box price by 30%
• Added an engine model next to the houses that have upgraded the Electrical Engine from their house upgrade menu

• Ping is currently still not available in the server browser
• Continue button does not sometimes work correctly. It may throw you to the wrong server
• You cannot join the server that is run by the same machine running the game

Made the server browser "show more" button work. The current server limit is 200 and this is a limitation of the new system. I intend to solve this by adding all regions to different categories and adding the "private" category. Server owners stay tuned for more info later. I now built a native Linux version and pushed that to the live branch. I hope this will allow all Linux users to continue playing our game, please comment down below if the game is working! Next, I will answer some questions I have read in the comments. Wipe will be in 13.5.2020 we are now sticking to bi-weekly wipes. Updates are not tied to wipes so I will update when I have enough content and it's been tested well. If you are having problems with the admin panel, not opening. Steam ID WILL NOT WORK. Instead, you have to use a new user id that you can find in the game's general settings. There is a bug where your own turrets will shoot you if you aim your weapon near them. This will be fixed in Friday's update. If you are getting an error where Easy Anti Cheat is not installed. You can install it manually with installAntiCheat script found in the game folder. - Nilsson

Hello all, the wait is now over and finally all official servers are up again. Nilsson.

• Sometimes when joining a game there is an infinite loading screen and this requires game restart.
• Achievements are disabled currently. There was a problem with EOS implementation.
• Servers don't show ping in the server browser. This is a limitation with EOS

• Turrets now only shoot hostiles outside of the house area
• Removed planter box from Julia's secret shop catalogue

• Fixed Alt + F4 dupe
• Fixed Container dupe
• Lootable containers can no longer be picked up

First I would want to apologize for the lack of communication there has been. Teo has a major burnout and has not had the will to work on the game but has been searching for new members to join our team as the work has grown exponentially recently. I know that many of you have been waiting for a wipe and I was even surprised how much some of you cared for the wipe and I am very honoured about that. I will later explain why we don't want to wipe this week. But I promise next week the wipe will happen on 29.4.2022 even if the new online system is not completed by then. - Nilsson

The turret change was still too drastic and we will be reverting that for now to original that player turrets shoot everyone near them

Hello again. It's time for another devlog again. Time flies super fast and I cannot believe it has already been a week since I returned from Lapland. This week I made good progress on the team system. Although it is not completely ready I don't want to make you wait any longer for it. We also spend some time this week managing our company's bureaucracy work and other mandatory things. We also are aware of the hackers that currently ruin many players' experiences. We will address this issue more in the coming weeks. For now, we will need to trust and thank our community admins for keeping the game clean from hackers as much as they can. Currently, we can make new logic and mechanics way faster than we can make models and art in general, so we've started hiring. If you know any modellers, riggers, animators, UE4 devs, please ask them to send their prior work to this email: contact@uuvana.com The header image is from community Discord user "elliot" - Nilsson

Hello everyone! As you might have noticed, there was no devlog last week, and we're going to start doing bi-weekly devlogs from now on. It makes more sense time management-wise, but also there is not enough content to show off every week, content that would be in such a state that it would look good in pictures. Nilsson is going camping to do some "research" for the entirety of the next week, a quick vacation that he truly deserves, so no bug fixes next week. I'll be here the whole week, as usual, working on the character customization and some other stuff that will probably bring a lot of new playability to the game. Currently, we can make new logic and mechanics way faster than we can make models and art in general, so we've started hiring.

New team system

Test new features early in the experimental branch!

• Fixed an issue where some turrets would not turn on if 2 house areas where overlapping each other
• Made entering house more reliable. Previously if the center of the house had items it would usually prevent players from entering. Now it tries 9 different locations inside the house before giving up
• Turrets now show how much energy they require when hovering a mouse over them
• House upgrade screen now shows how much each upgrade adds to total energy output
• Fixed a bug where in some instances the turrets gun spawned at the root of the model and not in it's intended place
• Fixed a bug where in some scenarios you could not get items out from crafting inventory
• Adjusted the arena turret range to not shoot people that are inside the arena
• Electricity transmitter now adds passive +30 electricity as temporary buff before more ways to generate electricity are added
• Lowered turret electricity requirement from 30 to 25. A low turret max capacity should encourage players to position their turrets in center of their property to protect their property and not to shoot people just passing by
• Fireplaces are now removed when dismantling the house
• Fixed player getting stuck behind the containers. See GitHub issue #200

• Fixed Placing duplication glitch where you could place 2 items with left mouse and spacebar
• Made another look how chest are saved. Discovered that there is certain scenarios where chest only saves id's. There is a possibility that disappearing chests were saved but their location was reset so they spawned in the 0 point of the map and not where they should have. Changed that the chest always saves everything about itself. Chest also saved them way too often which caused unnecessary load on server
• Fixed a pub glitch that allowed you to sell items in James recycler store and keep the items
• Fixed house property area rotation resetting after server restart
• Admin panel now has manual save button in the action tab
• You can now unban players that you have banned on your server
• Disabled discord initialization on server
• Map size was getting very big and a one suspicion I had is that the server ran out of memory when it tried to save all player placed items all at once. Now map is divided in 3 zones that are saved one after another. Hopefully this will make servers more stable
• Kills and turret sells are now shown in admin panel
• You can now plant seeds to autumn region
• Trees should now appear correct color when respawned after being cut
• Added backup system that saves all values every 6 hours. 3 different versions are stored and admin can load a version from admin panel
• Players should no longer respawn in other peoples houses
• Added global message that is showed to everyone when they start playing. Will be later used to inform about hotfixes and restarts
• Turrets now use electricity. And will be turned off if there is not enough
• Added message to bottom of main menu that we can switch without updating the game
• Added admin tool to send message to every player that is playing on the server currently

This update should be quite relieving for the high population servers. For starters, there's a whole new island next to the main-land, and secondly, tents now decay if not upgraded in time! Personally, I feel like the speed at which new content is added is still not what it should be, mainly because of my time being divided between so many other equally as important things, and to add to it, those other important things, which are mostly business-related things, really eat away the creativity in a major way. I think we'll learn to manage that as we go forward and as things settle down a little bit! Now that the damage control is mostly done, when will we get a roadmap, you may ask? Next week! I hope you enjoy this update. Please report any issues you may find on our Discord! - Teo

Issues with saving seem to be solved now, at least we haven't gotten any reports of progress resets on Discord, other than some random chests not spawning after a server restart, so here's hoping we fixed it, for now. There's a new tent limit that we wanted to test, so we wiped the official servers to see how it affects the available space on the island after a week. I myself got to do a lot of new content this week, which is always cool, and I'll be showing some of that on this devlog! - Teo

More house upgrades next week

Nilsson

We decided to wipe all official servers because they were filled with houses. We hope the new 2 player house limit will slow down the real estate claim. Here are all the changes in today's update. - Made login smoother by adding in delay between letting players in. Should no longer spawn players in the black void - Fixed an issue where an item could not be picked up near your own tent - The arena box now respawns correctly - Fixed duplication glitch where you could make infinite wood with slow ping - Fixed duplication glitch where people could pick up the same item twice - Fixed duplication glitch when adding and removing stuff fast from chests caused some items to duplicate - Paintings now drop to the ground in houses after being picked up - Fixed auto-detect setting from putting settings too low and breaking the water - You can now dismantle your house from the workbench. You can now have only 2 active houses - Reverse rotate placeables with Shift-R - Increased ammo price - Language selection now saves - Tried to apply a fix for a kill and construction achievements - Made changes to the way tents check for other people's property. Should now let you put it down more reliably - Added Dutch, Spanish Latin America, Vietnam and Russian languages - Fixed a bug where you could get random items from James recycler by selling first and then buying back the same item. This was caused by desync between player and server inventories - James vendor UI is now removed if the player dies while it is on - Added small space between the feather and bird meat. Sometimes caused the player only to get 2 meats and no feathers- There was an error when calculating the farming hat buff effect on the harvest. The 30% reduction was actually calculated for nearly 300% buff. Now should be milder - Player placed chest can now be destroyed so they can no longer be used as fence - Energy drinks gave big movement speed buff in the status effect ended in the water. Movement speed is now correctly restored - Added the vendor price fluctuation system back after fixing the bug that caused all items to change to wood and matches. This system will drive vendor prices up and down randomly. Also, players that buy and sell stuff to vendors will cause prices to change. Buying increases the price and selling lowers it. After a while price ticks near, its original starting price. You can see the price change percentage next to the MK in vendor UI. James recycler will not be effect by this system - Changed the way player based turrets behave. They can now take damage but instead of destroying after 0 health, they go disabled for 60 seconds. After this time they return to normal. Thanks to @Fyreblade for this suggestion.

We've added the first completed translations to the game, which were fully translated by our amazing community members around the world! We used, and are still using Crowdin for this, and you can contribute to the translation of the game there! As new content is released, the translations need to be updated at the same time, so even though some languages are "100%" now, they still need constant updates in the future! Languages added: - Thai - Korean - Simplified Chinese - German - French - Spanish, Latin America Special thanks to Discord user and active community member tucker#2003 who helped translate the game to Thai AND also pointed out that our Thai font did not fit the game and donated us a better one! Here's the current member list from Crowdin (not in activity order)

- Finally, the new player save system has been experimental and seems to work perfectly. Please note that saving should start working AFTER PLAYING the first time. There might be still missing progress when logging in the first time after the update - Fixed a bug where chest stays locked when player logouts when using it - Fixed a bug where workbench would show as a cooking station when first opened - Made entering house more reliable even after putting stuff on top of the entrance. Now players should always be able to enter their house - Applied a fix where turrets were shooting at the house owner - Item price changes - New language menu Please note that saving happens on the server-side so some unofficial servers might not have the latest version.

- localization support for different languages - Fixed a bug where chest stays locked when player logouts when using it - Fixed a bug where workbench would show as cooking station when first opened - Made entering house more reliable even after putting stuff on top of the entrance. Now players should always be able to enter their house. - Applied a fix where turrets were shooting at the house owner

Longvinter has been out for a week now and what a week it has been! We've fixed a lot of major and minor issues and I've started to work on new content! We are amazed at how active you guys have been on Discord, helping people, chatting with each other, giving suggestions, and helping us with the problems we've had! So, thanks for that and let's keep the wheel rolling! Also, thanks a lot to our Discord mods Artur, SirNugg3ts, Biffot, and daneelr_olivaw! The awesome community we have would not exist the way it does now if it wasn't for you guys. There are also the VIP members that have helped us in different ways on Discord and elsewhere, you know who you are, thanks a lot! Now, this week we spent our time mostly fixing issues, but in the future, expect to see new upcoming content on these devlogs! - Teo

This week's changes worth mentioning

- Players can now shoot when there is flowers or wheat next to them - Players should no longer get stuck in each other when entering a house at the same time - Lowered hunting 25 ammo pack price 25% - Removed legacy spectate feature -The admin panel should now be opened correctly to admins PSA: The message about server having an outdated build is caused by server provider not yet updating their server. This is makes debugging problems easier.
