Starry Studio has been patching Once Human Isles of Abyss<\/strong> almost every day since the ocean scenario launched on 21 October, and the latest fix, on 2 November, lets overweight boats steer again<\/strong>. The biggest change so far came on 29 October: sinking a Voyager ship now drops loot crates<\/strong> anyone can pick up, so you no longer lose your rewards if a ship goes down before you reach the cabin. Here’s every 3.1.1 fix so far, what’s changed for you, and the items being sent out by mail as compensation.<\/p>\n

What changed with Voyager loot in Once Human?<\/h2>\n

Players reported that in the Voyager<\/strong> mode on the Isles of Abyss, other players could loot the wreckage of a sunk ship, and ships were sometimes deliberately sunk before the loot crates were collected. From 29 October<\/strong>, sinking a Voyager ship drops Voyager Loot Crates that anyone can pick up<\/strong>. If you didn’t grab the crate in the cabin before the ship sank, you can still get it afterwards. Starry’s warning: rewards disappear after 2 minutes<\/strong>, so pick them up quickly. The same day fixed rewards vanishing after the Ghost Ship triggered its mod guarantee.<\/p>\n

Can overweight boats steer in Once Human now?<\/h2>\n

Yes. From 2 November<\/strong>, a boat weighing 10,000 kg or more<\/strong> keeps some steering, so it shouldn’t get stuck unable to turn. The same fix lets you hit Bubble Fish<\/strong> again. Fixes go live around 05:00 PT (13:00 GMT), and Starry says the actual time may vary.<\/p>\n

Why aren’t my Tech enhancements working in Once Human?<\/h2>\n

Starry explained on 26 October that it isn’t a bug. A Tech enhancement you unlock in a scenario only applies to facilities, tools and items you build, craft or get afterwards<\/strong>. It doesn’t upgrade things you already had before unlocking it, so rebuild or re-craft them to get the bonus.<\/p>\n
