Just Survive Improves Construction And Raiding In New Test Update

H1Z1, has just rolled out a new update for testing on the game’s test server. The update focuses on improving construction and raid mechanics to make it easier to build structures while making it harder for raiders to destroy the fruits of your hard labor.

“[...] we've introduced the third construction tier, Stone, as well as introducing an upgrade system. With the Stronghold Hammer equipped, you'll be able to interact with any base component to a higher tier (if you have the proper materials) or skin a component to a skin (if you own the appropriate skin), without causing damage to your base.

Alongside these features come significant balance changes, focused around tuning construction and raid balance towards the pre-BWC balance. Significantly more explosives are required to destroy a base, and construction costs have been reduced. Yeast is now craftable, allowing players to grow crops to craft Ethanol over time to fuel their raiding.”

Daybreak will be releasing a survey on Friday to gather on the new update. “We will be using the results of this survey to further tune balance on Test before releasing this update to Live,” says the studio.
