The hotfix update notes may only have five changes, but they are important and I appreciate the developer team for implementing them immediately instead of waiting for the next major content patch update, which could take an unknown amount of time due to the disruption of the regular update schedule.

Here’s what the developers had to say about the small hotfix:

Hey everyone,

Here are some small fixes for last week’s patch release.

  • Fixed issue where trees would sometimes not fall when cut
  • Fixed memory leak when looking at shelves with grab bag open (could cause crashing)
  • Fixed stick visuals in stick holder not updating when last stick was taken
  • Fixed Kelvin sometimes not collecting sticks
  • Fixed window shutters not always toggling correctly

The developers urge players to keep sharing their bug reports and feedback on the Community Hub’s Discussions section on Steam. The community’s support is crucial for the game to improve quickly and effectively.
