This update brings two major additions to the survival experience: a rebuilt inventory system and a brand new crafting system with its own dedicated interface.
The game now includes the first feature of the new crafting system, presented through a brand new crafting UI panel designed to match the look and feel of the rebuilt inventory screen. The goal is a consistent, readable, survival-focused interface across all player menus.
The first craftable item is the Campfire Constructible.
Crafting it allows you to place a ghost campfire in the world and build it using whatever materials you gather in the field.
This system is the foundation for all future hand-built structures.
The inventory interface has been completely reworked for clarity and survival authenticity. Two major layout changes define the new design:
A new Clothing Panel on the left shows what you’re wearing at a glance.
Clothing is organized using realistic layers for cold-weather survival:
Headwear
Base Layer (undershirt / thermal)
Shell Layer (jacket / outer protection)
Legwear
The Selected Item Details panel has moved to the right, making comparisons and item actions faster and easier.
The end result is a cleaner, more intuitive interface built around how real survival gear is managed.
Inventory now uses a subtle background blur to improve focus.
HUD messages and notifications have been refined for better timing and readability.
Addressed multiple item behavior issues.
General cleanup across menus and interactions.
Build updated to 0.6.0
The correct version now appears automatically in the UI.
