Sunkenland Update 0.9.30 Adds Tactical Map Orders for Companions
The update also corrects the Eden Island house reward and adds save recovery for players who completed its quest.
Sunkenland Update 0.9.30 gives players more direct control over companions, including GOTO orders from the tactical map. Players can send companions to a selected point, boat, or aircraft, and companions can board the selected vehicle.
Companions already gather resources, repair bases, defend them, and fight at sea. The v0.9.20 update expanded their work around bases and aboard boats. The new map commands extend that system to player-selected destinations.
Boat assignments also get more flexible. Players can move companions between available positions, and single-player gets a quick-switch feature when a companion occupies a turret. Companions can now close doors after opening them, while item-delivery dialogue waits until the player closes an open UI window.
The update fixes several companion problems, including companions getting stuck while repairing buildings, failing to leave buildings after the player boards a boat, and remaining in an abnormal state after an underwater death and revival. It also corrects the timing of the Eden Island house reward and adds save recovery so players who had already completed the quest retain access to the house.
