Known Issue – Clients Unable to Fire Weapons

We have discovered an issue to do with ranged weapons not firing for clients when players are connecting to a friend who is hosting or a dedicated server. This only seems to be occurring on older prospects with existing weapons, crafting new weapons works until you rejoin the session. As we cannot completely test this as it is during out holiday period we have set up a build on the Experimental Branch with a potential fix.

Warning this is not fully tested and will includes some content which will be released in future weeks.

This week, we’re adding the Platinum Shield to Icarus, which rounds out the shield collection with a Tier 4 option. This shield is craftable on the Foundry and provides more blocking radius than its steel and titanium counterparts but less damage blocked than titanium.

As always, shields can be crafted and used in the offhand with any one-handed weapons and, when held, can block incoming damage. They can also be placed in your ‘Utility Slot’ so they appear on your back as you walk around and provide a bit of damage mitigation when attacked from behind.

Next week, we are adding coconut seeds that can be planted to grow your own coconut trees. This should make accumulating coconuts a lot easier than having to traverse the map to find wild ones. In addition, we will be adding some new recipes including the freshly grown fruit.
