0.63.00 Experimental Update: New Achievements!

Hey everyone,

A new experimental build 0.63.00 is up!



This build features new Achievements!

As this is an experimental build with ongoing bug testing we may reset some achievements at our discretion so don’t get super attached to them at this stage. The new achievements may or may not be retroactive so start a new game if you want to ensure you achieve all achievements correctly. Importantly, any stats or achievements don’t count on custom islands!

Note: This build introduces new meat provenance/source. All previously saved meat will default to be from crabs.
Note: Some achievements are missing icons at the moment: Backpacker, Look What I Have Created!, Day 50, Day 100.

Also, there's a lot of changed happening with the Steam store refresh so bear with us on the patch notes while we get used to all the changes.

Have fun! :)

Stay Alive!
