Obsid­i­an has released an update for their sur­vival game Ground­ed, address­ing a num­ber of prob­lems across all platforms–some which were raised by the com­mu­ni­ty. The 0.8.1 update is out now for Xbox one, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

For starters, bases built on cer­tain objects will no longer be con­sid­ered “Unsup­port­ed” when load­ing, and caus­ing them to col­lapse when mod­i­fied. Play­ers will also notice ranged and melee attacks reg­is­ter more as they should. There will also be less lag and hitch­ing when look­ing in large bases.

Addi­tion­al­ly, any back­packs that fall through the world will even­tu­al­ly resync with you. Out­side of the com­mu­ni­ty requests, Obsid­i­an also fixed sev­er­al oth­er issues, like the “Weed Killer Peak” quest not show­ing up in the right place, and being able to place stuffed insects on furniture.

You can see the full set of patch notes below:
