Salt 2: Shores of Gold

Minor Update on Beta Branch

Lavaboots Studios

This update is on the Beta Branch. Hop on over if you want to help us test the upcoming update.

This update contains a few minor performance improvements as well as bug fixes. Of note is the new option in the in-game settings to adjust island visibility distance. This controls how far away islands will appear. Adjusting this setting can improve performance, at the cost of being unable to see islands from as far away.

  • Some minor performance improvements.
  • Added a setting to adjust the visibility distance of islands, which can be lowered to improve performance.
  • Added the option to disable tutorials.
  • General merchants now sell a basic storage chest for your ship.
  • The controls menu now shows controller keybindings.
  • Adjusted seaport lighting to make seaports feel more bright at night.
  • Added Blackmaw's Band recipe to the forge recipe list.
  • Increased the chance for the Golden Fox to spawn.
  • Decreased the weight of the fishing hook item.
  • Fixed resting to sunset or sunrise sometimes undershooting the target time.
  • Fixed the item reroll UI saying "Upgrade Cost" instead of "Reroll Cost".
