Sunkenland v0.8.04 Tackles Underwater Glitches, Merchants, and Mission Stalls
The update fixes bird traps, breath management, FOV saves, and several mission blockers while also improving merchants, ladder climbing, and performance.
Sunkenland update v0.8.04 spends most of its time cleaning up bugs, but it also touches a few systems that players will feel right away. Underwater health drain, crafting hiccups, raid flow, merchant behavior, and several mission blockers are all on the list.
The patch also brings some performance work, including fewer frame drops when opening the UI, plus a broader pass on merchant presentation and movement systems.
Patch Notes
The biggest changes here are easy to spot. Trading, helicopters, ladders, and a handful of quest and progression systems all got attention, which should help the game feel steadier across a few rough spots.
