The Pirates came with their Black(flag) Friday early this year, but brought some new features to test, cargo to fight for and 50% sale! In this patch your sailor skills will be put to the test as the NPC pirates came to the islands with cannons and evil intentions. The ocean is no longer safe and it's for you to decide whether to flee or to fight.
Pirate Ship's features:

Ship can be damaged by siege weapons including ballista and cannons
Ship may explode due to its cargo - black powder barrels
All the damages are visible on the ship's skin, including flying planks and burning barrels
Sunk ship drops chest with random high level loot

Pirate Ship's AI:

There are several ships near archipelago, in most cases they won't enter each others territory
In patrolling mode, they would look for an easy win just by sailing around
When other ship approaches and the angle is good, pirates would fire first two cannons to scare off the intruder
If you don't leave them alone or you just happen to be on the colliding course pirates will engage
During the fight, pirates will try to keep aiming at their enemy's ship while avoiding cannon balls at the same time

Pirate Ship's crew

The crew consists of 3 pirates and the captain
Besides cannons, they will fire guns and swing swords whenever possible
When the captain loses the fight, he will try to blow the ship up so that no one gets his precious treasure

Other changes:

Another round of server optimization concerning animals' movement and behavior
Fixed autojump not working properly in certain situations
Loot bags from players should float on water now
Possible fix for infinite loading screen

Enjoy!

Out of Reach - Ubuntu Universal (32_64) Content [2.68 G]

The one who said that a combination of thunder storms and sea rocks is the worst thing that can happen to sailors, clearly didn't have to survive one. The real deal starts the morning after, and this is the exact time when you, dear player enter the cruel world of Out of Reach.

The first enemy to encounter after surviving the storm will be your own body. Even the tropical forests have rainy days and cold nights... at least for a castaway in shorts. Searching for a shelter to stay over night could be almost as essential as finding food before someone considers you as something to eat.

Although the archipelago was considered deserted before ships started to crash into sea rocks nearby, every kind of area on the island has its natural inhabitants who just don't give a warm welcome. Thinking twice every time before moving ahead could be one of the smartest things to do.

Staying on a beach after crushing your boat allows you to hunt for slowly moving animals and gives the ability to see at long distances. Disadvantage - you can be seen from exactly the same distance and there's always someone to call you his own slow-moving food.

Before being able to found your first wooden settlement, you will need to stay constantly on the move, hunt and avoid being hunted at the same time. Getting to know the nearest neighbourhood could be your first step to stop looking like a bait. In Out of Reach, you are put into diverse environments of jungle, desert, plain, mountains and forest. Due to constantly changing weather and surrounding under players' influence and interaction you need to travel across the land in search of a minute of peace or gather enough resources to build a boat and find home on other parts of the archipelago.

Speaking of boats:

In order to stay on the top of the food chain, you need to work harder than others. Everything starts from finding certain resources. Chop trees, mine stone, gather flax and food. Equip yourself and start searching for more sophisticated materials like copper and tin to produce bronze and other alloys.

Find out what else you can do with resources:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNHCkG8Ng-0

Use a variety of workshops, furnaces and tools to craft armour and weapons. Check which combination of gear has better performance and suits your game style best. Upgrade equipment using new resources or items obtained in battle. Store, collect or trade your stuff with other players!

Looking for a place to store your timber or a quiet and cosy room to forge a sword and tan a skin of an elephant? Build your own stronghold! Use dozens of building elements like walls, stairs and floors to assemble the house of your dreams in an environment of your choice... or just take control of one.

The best solutions to problems are most often invented during battles. Everyday life on islands full of castaways is not an exception. To successfully protect your territory or gain control of a new one, you will need the advantage.

Ballista
The greater the distance, the safer you are. Ballista may be slow to load and unable to move but the ability to pierce a target with a 1,5m dart few hundred meters away in no time shouldn't be underestimated.
Trebuchet
Unusual situations require extraordinary solutions. When an axe doesn't help or doors are just too thick it's time for a trebuchet. Construction costs both time and resources but nothing surprises like a forced entry through a wall.
Traps
Well, there's actually one thing that surprises more - a tricky and deadly trap! Use trip wires at the doors, stairs or wherever you want, connect them with ballistae or boulder throwers, place a bait and wait for the unwelcome guests.

Glider
When everything fails, you might consider an attack from above. Construct a tower, install a launcher ramp and take off on a glider to bomb enemies' bases, get through walls or just take a look from a different perspective.
