This game gets my 5 stars for its amazing ability to make me poo my pants. Never played something that has made me this stressed before. Me and my friend have been taking turns.
Day 1: Made a tiny camp and saw no activity at all. Spent most of the day gathering resourced and cracking open suitcases.
Day 2: Same as day 1, made 2 wall sections.
Night 2/day 3: woke up in the middle of the night to find 3 cannibals attackin. They were being super aggressive, but managed to hold my ground by keeping the fire pit between me and them and keeping my back to the wall. But when i finally managed to finish them off, at least 8 or 9 more cannibals came (including 2 new creepy folk from the update), leaping through the trees, surrounding me, and then slowly walking up to harrass me.. It became a ridiculous struggle managing the defence, the fires and trying to scare thwm off with a couple of swings. Eventually after a good 40 minutes they were all dead.
Day 4: No activity, spent the whole day, building effiges.
Day 5: another attack in the night, this time only 5. But they just stood outside the camp staring at me and building their own effiges. So creepy. Got the scare of my life when i went to chop one up and he wasn't dead. He got up, hit me and ran away.
It's so good, i don't want to play anymore

Molotovs work wonders at killing them, especially if they are bunched up

Played some more of this tonight, the update seems great so far - performance has improved quite significantly (much smoother now), a lot of textures and effects seem more refined and other graphical improvements have been made.
Unfortunately the plane crashed in a terrible location for me this time, it was right next to some sort of tribal settlement and lots of tribes people started attacking before I could even build a hunting shelter I still need to find a great place to build up a camp, next to a high, vertical rock with lots of trees nearby and close to the shoreline would be ideal.
Game is really coming along though and it is amazing for such an early build, it should be absolutely brilliant by the time of full release!

Starting location is random, or at least it was in v0.01 - I've only started one new game in v0.02 so I'm not sure if it's still random or not. I also started near a lake which happened to be on the border of the current playable map (walking into the lake prompted "Area not available during current build" message).

I believe so but there's not much point saving anyway as saves from previous versions will not be compatible with new versions.
That hasn't been fixed, but other stuff has.
Its still fun to play and a little addictive, but if anyone takes it too seriously right now they will be dissapointed. Its just not worth toiling hours to make something you will lose anyway.

My base is coming along nicely.. Its obviously been a complete waste of time as the natives can just glitch through the walls, but its been fun, and it shows you can play long enough to do something without bugged saves killing you off.

Nice little base you have going there.
I gave this a quick 30 minute blast & ended up playing for a lot longer, nice to see a few bugs ironed out, and the save worked for me from a random test I did.
Can't wait for the finished product!
Can you delete placed items? When they're not built, I keep accidentally placing walls which I don't want, and then can't remove them?

Ah! - I think that did happen on my test load/save, I don't remember seeing my random grey wall outside now I remember

Played more of this today, still a great experience - really looking forward to the final product and I'm very glad that I bought this as soon as it was released for early access so that I can help with the development cycle and see the game evolve as it goes forward
The graphics are really quite astonishing for a title produced by only a few people, the grass and plants look very good - some of the best foliage graphics I have ever seen in fact.

Patch is out, just over 300 meg.
