  • Fixed icons not visible for lower shelves of snack holder
  • Fixed loading a game that was saved inside a cave (not retroactive)
  • Slightly increased rate enemies populate world as days pass
  • (multiplayer) Fixed clients not being able to add fuel (leaves/Cash) to fire
  • (multiplayer) Fixed issue where clients would sometimes swim in caves
  • (multiplayer) Fixed arrows shot by clients not affecting animals/enemies
