However, time is not yet saved and loaded. • UI Updates: Various UI improvements make navigating the game smoother and more intuitive. • Customization Fixes: Colors in the customization menu now match exactly as chosen, improving the character creation experience. • Mobs and Building Collisions: We’ve improved mob interactions with building structures, making these elements more reliable. • Cutout Adjustments: We’ve tweaked how cutouts behave with walls and foundations for better building experiences. • Performance Optimizations: Small bug fixes and optimizations ensure the game runs more smoothly. [h1]Known Bugs in Multiplayer[/h1] While we’ve made great strides in improving the demo, some known bugs remain in multiplayer: • Host-Only Features: Currently, only the host can skip night, enter an instance, or interact with the antenna. We're working on resolving this. • Building Restrictions: Players cannot build on foundations they do not own in multiplayer. This will be fixed soon. • Desync Issues: Occasionally, desync problems may cause teleportation when entering an instance. Please proceed carefully. • Farming Responsiveness: Farming actions can sometimes be a bit unresponsive. We’re aware of this and are working on a fix. For more details on these bugs, join our Discord to stay up-to-date on progress.
