Eremite Games released a pretty huge update for Against the Storm recently. Aside from new decorations, the Lighthouse Update has reworked the Woodcutter’s Camp settings to make things much clearer than before.
The Woodcutter’s Camp is a very important structure in Against the Storm because it allows you to produce wood for developing your settlement’s other buildings. That said, the company noticed that the settings in the Woodcutter’s Camp do not clearly convey what they actually do, which is why some changes have been made in the Lighthouse Update.
The said structure has four different modes. The default mode will prompt woodcutters to cut trees normally. The “Only Marked Trees” option will tell woodcutters to only gather wood from marked trees. Avoid Glades is an option that prompts woodcutters to cut trees normally but avoid the dark areas of the map (aka the Glades). And lastly, “Avoid Glades (except Marked)” is nearly the same as the last one, except woodcutters will go to the Glades if there are marked trees there.
In addition, the Lighthouse Update gives you the option to rebind mouse keys in a limited capacity. Now, you can use the LMB, RMB, and MMD when canceling actions, manipulating camera movement, and selecting objects in the game world.
Changelog
