XERA: Survival is finally out of early access and the first patch is here for the live build. The patch added new items, features, and bug fixes. The addition of the Clan System might be the most exciting feature, allowing you to build with other players. When players place a claimed land, other members of the clan can build inside that land. Only the clan leaders, however, can destroy building properties, otherwise, it could lead to a ton of trolling.
The developers have also implemented some changes like Turrets allowed to shoot an enemy inside your claimed land. But the same structure won’t shoot any friendlies. The Turrets also have increased ammo count, which makes it a reliable defense tool.
