Dear Adventurers!
The Storage & Transportation Update is officially live and available for free for all Steam players!

As many of Green Hell’s most experienced players know, efficiency is of the utmost importance if you want to survive in the Amazon jungle. To stay efficient, your base needs perfect space management which improves the process of gathering the necessary food supplies or materials. In addition, every trip across the rainforest puts you in untold danger, so why make more trips than is needed?
Storage and Transportation patch will help you with that, so just check out what's new:
Sled
A great tool for transporting heavy objects. What’s more, you can put up to two different types of Heavy Objects in one Sled.
We know how much players like to build vast and complex bases. Resources near the base may quickly run out and you have to go deeper and deeper into the jungle for materials. We decided to speed up material transport by adding sleds, to help our players spend more time building and less time running around for materials.
Elevator
Treehouse or multi-story villa, the elevator is the new easier way of transporting heavy resources up and down.
In the last building update, we added new construction to build a treehouse. We noticed that transporting a large amount of materials to the upper floors using a ladder is inconvenient, so we decided to add a new construction - an elevator.
Shelf and Hanging Shelf
A new type of universal storage, in which you can unpack most of the items from your Backpack - excluding weapons and building materials such as sticks (they still need to be put on dedicated stands). Thanks to the new shelves, you can see the status of your stock at a glance.
We felt that there should be a universal storage for smaller items in Green Hell, where you can see what items it contains without interaction and from a distance. This type of shelf is also aesthetic and looks nice in the base.
Quick Pick Up
With the option to turn off animation delay for picking up items you no longer have to wait for animation to complete to pick another item. The faster you click, the faster you pick.
After adding the elevator and sled, we noticed that the delay in the pick-up animation was disrupting the dynamics of the resource harvesting process. That's why we decided to remove this delay. However, during our beta testing, we received feedback that this change affects immersion for some players, so we decided to add the option to disable this improvement in the game options.
Baskets
A reworked version of the Small and Big Stone Stands are renamed to Baskets and now can hold various types of objects, such as stones, bones, planks, green coconuts, and more.
As we aim for immersion we thought that the stone basket looks like it can hold similar items, so instead of making new types, we decided to make our stone stands more versatile. Now you can choose what to use it for.
New Bamboo versions of Stands
Every storage construction now has its bamboo version.
Since The Building Update, we have been trying to give players the opportunity to build their base using any materials. We noticed some wooden structures did not have their bamboo counterparts at all. So, while working on Storage and Transportation Update we wanted to improve the storage system as well by adding a missing bamboo stands.
One universal Leaf Stand
Leaf Stand now has two slots. You can choose what materials you want to stack in each slot: Banana or Palm leaves.
Universal Wood Stands
Stands for logs and sticks made of bamboo or wood can store both wood and bamboo materials in each, e.g. wooden materials can be stored in bamboo racks.
So far, the rack system has been very restrictive. For example, to store a Bamboo Log, the player had to build a rack using the same material. It wasn't exactly the optimal solution. So we decided to give players a little more freedom and the ability to change the type of stored material when the structure is already built.
Increased capacity of Stands
All stands have now increased capacity.
Since The Building Update, we've been trying to encourage players to build bigger and bigger bases. After playtests, it turned out that the current capacity of material storage structures is simply too small and players have to devote more and more space for these structures.
