The studio pledges frequent updates focused on non-lethal creature tools.

Overview

  • The team outlined an Early Access plan with minor patches every few weeks and larger content drops every few months.
  • An environmental artist said the studio is debating kill rules and floated allowing small fish to be killable while keeping larger predators off-limits.
  • A PC mod called Killable Creatures already lets players damage and kill wildlife using the multitool or sonic resonator.
  • After fans flagged severe EULA terms, the studio told players it would not act against streamers and that it is reviewing the agreement.
