This will be the first of many updates, usually once a month, which adds to, improves and expands the game during Early Access.

This update features numerous fixes and improvements, and has the feature requested player radar system, so that players can find each other in online Co-Op mode. This player radar also features a seperate icon for dead players who are awaiting resusitation.
