Sunkenland Update 0.8.40 Focuses on Save Recovery and Quest Fixes
The update adds world save restoration, clearer character save details, and new dedicated server auto-save settings.

Sunkenland Update 0.8.40 brings a useful new recovery option alongside several fixes for quests, ship fuel, item sorting, and the final quest island. The changes were detailed in the game’s Steam announcement.
Players can now restore world save files, while the Character Save File Restore screen shows backpack and equipment details. That extra information should make it easier to identify the correct character save before restoring it.
The update also adds a configurable auto-save interval for dedicated servers. The default interval is now 600 seconds, or 10 minutes. Server administrators can find configuration instructions in the Dedicated Server Manual inside the game’s installation directory.
Sunkenland Update 0.8.40 Patch Notes
The bug fixes address disappearing items, quest blockers tied to the Research Table, ship fuel capacity, and two problems on the final quest island. The elevator fix is especially important for anyone who became stuck after reaching that area.

- Fixed an issue where a quest could not be completed even though the gate to the Warlord Chamber in the final mission had already been opened.
- Fixed an issue where the elevator on the final quest island could not be called, trapping players and preventing them from leaving the area.
