Update - Alpha 5.0.4

Posted by Ponzel on 2026-06-02

It’s time for another HavenCraft Update!

If you are already signed up for the playtest, you can find the update link in the main menu of the game or in your signup email. You can just install over your old version; no need to uninstall it first.

Let us know if there are any issues and happy playing!

Changes

• Balance
  • Relaxed the “indoors” requirement: objects now only need to be covered from 70% of directions to count as indoors (was 85%).
  • Tree stakes now cost more resources and take a bit longer to craft, since you only ever need a couple of them, not hundreds.
• Multiplayer
  • Fixed trees and rocks sometimes taking different amounts of damage on the host and the client.
  • Fixed an issue where giving feedback in a multiplayer session, and typing the letter ‘y’ would open the chat panel, because that’s the chat hotkey.
• Bugfixes
  • Fixed the player direction arrow on the map pointing backwards.
  • Fixed an error where objects on a plot were not being counted correctly.
  • Fixed a rare bug when exiting the game while it was still being saved (no saves are ever corrupted though).
  • Fixed an error screen that could happen when research got finished while a villager was still working on it.
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn’t remove the campfire with the axe.

Big thanks to everyone that reported bugs and gave feedback!
