The most notable fix addresses our four-legged companions. In multiplayer sessions, the dog pouch upgrades were suffering from synchronization issues, often leaving one player's furry friend less equipped than the other. This patch ensures that your canine helper's inventory and upgrades stay consistent across all players in the session, which is a massive relief for anyone relying on their dog to help move resources around.
Resource management also sees a significant balance adjustment. It turns out Silverbark lumber was accidentally providing double the intended energy when processed. While that made powering your mobile home a breeze, it bypassed much of the sustainable energy loop that makes Outbound unique. The calculation has been corrected, so you'll need to rethink your solar and wind setups to compensate for the nerf to wood-burning efficiency.
Explorers reaching the 4th Biome will notice a cleaner environment as well. Square Glade Games has addressed the "pink water" visual bug in the river and added missing colliders that previously allowed players to clip through the terrain. These fixes, along with a resolution for a rare bug that triggered the demo screen during vehicle area syncing, make for a much more stable journey through the near-future wilderness.
