Water for your claim and clearer feedback
Thanks for your feedback! This Windows and macOS demo update gives you more ways to supply your claim and keep your washplant working.
Build your water supply
- After taking a core sample on a suitable claim you own, develop a local bore drawing from finite groundwater.
- Dig an enclosed rain pit on your claim. It starts empty, collects actual rainfall and loses water in the heat. Sleeping does not invent rain.
- Connect a purchased 750 W pump with two hoses and power to fill an IBC from your bore or pit, then refill the small washplant's source basin. The existing 250 W pump feeds the 100 L tank from there.
Visual water guide
- Open the journal with J by default, then Equipment manual → Water supply for connection diagrams using original equipment models.
Clearer feedback and controls
- Nearby wash readouts now separate processed soil from actual water flow and remain visible with instructions collapsed.
- Compact gold-pan instructions fit on first opening, with clearer stages, fill amounts and reassigned keys. Fixed guest top-ups and collection hints for uncovered finds.
- Vehicle controls share saved bindings, with more reliable nearby entry and exit and a separate radio key. Fixed stamina recovery while seated.
- Restored outdoor daytime ambience, adjusted wind and rain levels, and added night insects and contextual flashlight guidance.
- Reduced further hitches during startup, world streaming and the first engine start.
Fixes from your reports
- Reduced stalls on the first shovel cuts and gold-pan actions.
- Fixed carrying the pump with a normal backpack, rain detection and rain-pit hose connections.
- Corrected quad driving and braking on terrain.
