Another bugfix release is out.
Here’s the changelist:
- Fixed animals spinning aimlessly
- New compatibility setting to disable AudioTrack caching. Should only be used on Kitkat and above (4.4+), just in case someone finds a problem with the caching
- Worked around clouds rendering bug in Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (and other devices using Vivante GT GPU)
- Reduced wolf loot
- Fixed health regeneration in Challenging
- Optimized clothes drawing, it’s 2x faster now, should run smoother when inventory page full of clothes is displayed
- Added swoosh sound when attacking
- Melee attacks can now miss, with probability depending on weapon used
- Made axe powerful, but with large chance to miss
- Made clothes and carpets colors more saturated
- Reduced opacity of water sides
- Increased maximum creative flying height
Please download and test.

First!
Check out the new updated site! Brand new logo and forums too! http://www.epicsc.net/
Like the logo. It is very clean cut.
Thanks :-)
First
Nvm
i know how it feels. :)
just it time to test on the train :)
Train??? Nice!
real world train ;)
– Made clothes and carpets colors more saturated
THANK YOU :)
now pistons please :P ( i think i never stop asking for this :) )

OMG +3

Kaalus please add a way to automatically move blocks around! It doesn’t have to be a piston for obvious copyright reasons, but it can be something else with the same purpose, like a machete in sc and a sword in Minecraft. Those two were different things with the same purpose- as a main melee weapon. Please add something with the same purpose as a piston!😇
I understand the fact is better not copy MC too much…
The problem is… Whai is that thing that can have the same purpose of the Pistons?
Oh boy… My English is getting worse day after day…
What exactly are u saying?
oh
I’ll look it up I guess
Kaalus u could just give that property to an already existing block like a trapdoor or spiked plank (It retracts and expands). Or u could add a new item like a piezoelectric crystal. They harden on the rising edge of electricity and sometimes expand.
You could just use that to make a device.
I learned about piezoelectric crystals in a book once. I’ve heard someone invented a really good tennis racket using piezoelectric crystals. Did you know that if you apply force to a piezoelectric crystal, they release electricity?
U could incorporate the fact that pressure on a piezoelectric crystal means electricity.
And vice-versa
lol guys… thanks for support but im asking for this over 2 years now :P
And pistons was a mod in minecraft before they added it.
I think this wasnt possible with old engine, kaalus said somewhere its not easy to code, but maybe now it will be easier :)
Quartz is piezoelectric.
wow there is a lot sccraft here. :)
Hi, I suggest just calling it a “hydraulic” to craft, maybe just use iron and water… Hence hydraulic pressure
also..piezoelectric is used in electric lighters…ya know.. The clicking kind also is some propane blowtorch handles to ignite a spark…
But yes, to have a piston work in SC each block or the appropriate ones atleast have to be coded to be able to be moved…
… But who knows what’s to come.. Hence Kaalus recoding the entire game.. I.e. Pistons or multiplayer in the future..
More like a butt load of epic features. Just think.. He came out hibernation to bring us this new engine. What other ideas might be lurking in that head of his to make this game even more dominate over the blockiverse
Arhhh can’t wait until this update is released to the window phone! Absolutely legendary effort, well done mate!
Have you considered porting this over to a Windows Universal App? With the free upcoming Windows 10 release being cross platform, as you know that could mean SC on PC, Surface, Phone, Hololens, XBox, heck even raspberry pi! :) From a business perspective that too big of a market to ignore.
Me too! Something like Minecraft eh?
Exactly 😊 competition is never a bad thing and SC could be serious competition to MC.
I feel SC would do extremely well throughout the Windows platform.
Think of it this way the better SC does, it will come to a point that Kaalus could spin a dev team to help code and release more and more updates ;)
With that in mind, I feel that it is our duty as SC fans to seriously promote SC where ever and whenever we can :)
Sc I’m sure has dominated mc in all handhelds and console versions. If kaalus keeps making bank, it could mean sc for consoles and pc . But I don’t get why he couldn’t do it for pc yet, since that’s what he builds sc with.
SkyRenderBug mostly gone on Galaxy Tab Sm-t100 on android 4.2.2.
It only occurs here and there but only on the very edges of the screen. I can live with that!
Thank you for increasing the flight hight limit!
and windows phone?
When all the bugs are sorted :-)
So… is it on Amazon now? Not pushing him to release but just wondering.
When the bugs are sorted.
great! i saw the video before the the post came out! nice! hope this is it!
Keep up the good work!!!!
Plz tell me released for Amazon now!!!???
Ha, I consider myself electrically challenged! ( ;
Check out my new world (with electrics)
What’s it called? Is it on community content?
Omg Kaalus, you are the man.. It’s like a update within a update! Couldn’t ask for anything more! And you Increased maximum creative flying height!!!!!
You should consider making a craft-able ship alongside the rowboat still….
+1
+2
Nice Ty! <3
Oooh boy we now sink, not float to surface.
Even without armor on?
Hmm just one time – glitch? I dumped all armor and clothes but was still stuck on bottom. Restart cleared it. Dump heavy armor you will risr to surface.
Happens in 1.26 too :)
Ah! As a creative type I should rough it more often then :)
Ah, Set and Reset. I needed to see that in action. And others, maybe more demonstration videos?
Yay kaalus when is iOS coming? My boyfriend loves the game and I can’t wait we both love whales but there needs to be Dolphins he is obsessed with dolphins ang German shepards and I’m obsessed with horses and orcas😊☺️
When most of the bugs have been squashed :-)
Hello kaalus, I have been playing this game ever since it was out and I never thought to thank you for this game.it is ten times better than minecraft. I hope you are reading this because I want you to know you have a excellent thing going here. You have fans that are loyal to you and will help you in your journey if you just ask. You are amazing. Keep up the good work.

Hi guys, I have a question if anyone can help… Does “Increased maximum creative flying height” mean we can fly higher without dying or does it mean we can build higher?
Both I think
Flying only.
i don’t know Because i don’t have the update!
same -_-
I don’t have it either, but he said ‘creative FLY limit’
Besides, heightening the build limit would be hard: It’d have to be a power of 2
when is the update coming? i really wanna update it fast!!!
Both of my defices (nexus 7 1st generaton and samsung galaxy s4) are still giving the ol’ “Migration Failed (Invalid Path)” at the main menu.
Game still runs great other than this. More a mild inconvenience than anything. Not complaining…. just passing along the info.
Keep up the good work!
Can you send me the logs (Settings/Compatibility/View Game Log then Copy and email to candyrufusgames@gmail.com)?
The new version should stop trying to migrate data after 3 attempts.
sent them both… one from each of the two devices.
I wonder if Apple is going to wait a long time before updating to iOS like last time.
*updating for
Glitch!
I don’t think that’s a glitch, if it is it’s not a new one, i think it just happens when you build to high
You’re right it just repro’d for me in 1.26
This is not the flight ceiling but i cannae build past it. Lenova ideatab s6000-f
I remember that this “Feature/Bug/Glitch” exist since 1.22…
If u build too high the block is invisible. I used that on a map once xD
yep this isn’t a bug it happens in 1.26.
This is a possible glitch
Here is a bug:
don’t see a bug
Is a illumination bug?
In this images personally I cannot see nothing to worry about…
Yes, it is just a illumination bug. Nothing too serious.
Tested quicky on my tablet…
It looks like… THERE IS NO MORE AUDIO BUGS!!!
I like the new attacks sound and more saturated carpets and clothes…
I think the chance to miss an attack is too high, Kaalus can you increase the hit ratio a bit for all weapons?
O increasing the attack speed?
Kaalus can you make the default graphics etc. Medium and stuff? When mh friends get the trial they say ‘the graphics are bad’ because they don’t have the brain capacity to look in settings lol.
Settings? What is Settings? Lol just kidding…
BTW… There are a lot of useful settings just like “Dark area brightness” and the possibility to increase the Creative Mode Digging Speed…
yeah and they help!
Yeah I know but new players are real nooby…
Lol.
A lil tip: Limit fps to 30 and to the human eye, it is as good as 60. But takes less battery!
What about RPG elements?
You automaticly improve some abillities by doing them. eg.runnig speed by running, hit ratio for weapons by fighting ect.
There are 3 levels:
1. beginner 2. experienced 3. advanced.
The boost mustn’t be great but helpful.
The twist is: you loose a level when you die. Dying 3 times = resets all abillities to 0.
This would add another motivation to stay alive for the longest time!
id like that but maybe stamina improves as u run more not speed.
however if he could add illness .eg. if u stay under the rain for long and don’t get dry u get a cold and lose 1/4 a heart every game day until u drink a medicine or chicken soup (needs bucket of water and bird meat put in a furnace), your sight gets diminished, damage halfed or quartered, etc all depending on how long u stayed wet or body temperature
ofc medicine needs a differenet recipe!
Yes! More stamina is a better idea than more speed!
Illnes system sounds great too!
Hi about rpg element… My concept for the game is my hero is left on the island to “collect” animals..
Animals here and there can be quite the challenge to catch…I.e. Aviary, aquatic etc…. And after you caught the necessary species, it congrats you .. Boat comes and takes you home… More like a story mode..
I don’t think the new combat style is so good, tough…
I’m agree with you…
I’ve tried to fight a rhino now and is become too hard…
Technically, when you attack a rhino, you can miss it even if you are very close…
I don’t think that in real life there is a 10% chance to avoid melee attacks… No Offence ;)
you’re right dude! even if you have a weapon there’s still a chance to miss what the hell is that!!
that wouldn’t happen in real life if he want his game to become realistic then do it realistic!
close combat shouldn’t have to miss -_-“
Found another small bug…
When you hit an animal with bare hands, it makes a “swish” sound just like if you hit with any tool
Not a bug He said all melee swings are sound effected btw can’t wait for up for amazon
nice update! here is an idea more of a graphical one. well here it is
how about equipment endurance is represented by a bar rather than 3 squares?
there are other features I wish to see but lets keep it at that for now.
however SC is growing rapidly and has surpassed minecraft in all aspects save the multiplayer, breeding and taming. other than that kaalus is the only other infiniminer clone which is a serious competitor to minecraft if not out of minecraft’s league already. Kaalus awesome job and keep up the great work.
(yes minecraft is a clone of a shutdown multiplayer sandbox game )
SC forever!
+1 about the bar for the tools…
Minecraft uses bars with tool durability. We can’t copy minecraft.
Is true… But is just an innocent bar…
What about an segmented bar? XD
lol
+2 for tool bars
…
Why?
It’s a nice little feature, stop complaining about a trivial thing :)
It’s like saying that the sword should be a katana
Freezes and crashes… Audio bug, yes. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon 800). Android 5.0.1
Please add function “disable audio”!
Which version of the game are you running? Mute volume in settings to disable audio.
2 Possible things you may want to change:
1. If the player is tired from constant jumping and he steps into water with a block under him the player is half into the water but if you continue pressing jump it will say you are drowning which is unrealistic as your half upper body is out of water lol
2. Werewolf eyes might be bugged from far they are red but i came closer to a werewolf in creative mode and the eyes became black but when i went a bit far they return to red is that normal?
4.4.2 stock kitkat LG l40 D160 device
Sometimes I see phantom werewolf eyes in the dark.. It’s very creepy.
It’s a glitch because I was on a map in a building high in the sky and I saw the eyes in the night sky..
There were werewolves nearby but obviously not in the sky..
Kaalus can you please add an option to turn body temperature off in adventure mode?
How effecting adventure mode?
because you freeze to death in the one map, because there is water. :(
my map.
Forgot to mention im using full 1.27.4.0
Btw last version looking good and running smooth on my low end phone and i saw the blue fire animation of werewolfs for the first time cool stuff there man
I hope 1 day something like a tornado will be added that would be fun
Or Dragons xD
I have a suggestion you may like what about adding Hail weather in the game which will damage the player if he is out on the open and damage varies on how big hail is and what clothes/armor player is wearing?
Hail could be a snow variant
Also what about fog does it exist in the game i havent seen at all
and it goes on and on and on! why do you want to add features that would be so hard to add when he is working on this?
Just making a few suggestions for the future im not demanding from him to stop doing what he does?
Why dont you look at your posts you keep asking for the same temperature off option since 10+ of his blog posts -_-
it is something i need and it is really easy to do.
Fog is in the game. When it is raining visibility decreases to the lowest setting automatially so you cannot see very far.
Not the lowest setting, I can see really far even with rain :)
Kaalus what if sticks were uncraftable and if you destroyed leaf blocks they gave you sticks as well. After all, leaves are held up by sticks. It is somewhat more realistic and makes the game easier, not harder, considering how abundant leaves are.
+1
that’s a good idea!
What if when u put coal in the ingredient slot of the furnace u got a diamond? :DDDDDD LOL JK😂
Kinda makes sense though (the heat, the pressure).. XD
Yes it takes heat and pressure to form a diamond, but a furnace would not be able to produce the amount of heat and pressure needed.
P.s. Yes I am aware that you were joking
Kaalus. Is the stick idea good?
40th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #2015
+!
er?
Hey Kaalus,
The new update has made a difference to my device, but I still get some jerkiness in movements and I see I’m getting around 18fps, which is worse then 1.26.
Nexus 10 running stock ota Android 5.1.
Thanks
Paul
is ti a big world?
*it
Hi,
The world is around ~50Mb, but 1.26 had no issues with the frame rate, or at least it was nice and smooth while playing.
Paul.
Just thinking, why can’t someone impersonate Kaalus? i could. but i wouldn’t. Reasons?
U probably shouldn’t have mentioned that. People might do that now that u gave the idea.
oh boy…………..
Reasons-
1. Kaalus would root them out
2. They couldn’t just respond to any comment they like. Kaalus doesn’t go and say “First!”
3.They probably just couldn’t do the language, the questions, and the like
but most aren’t stupid.
Is the stick idea good?
“Kaalus what if sticks were uncraftable and if you destroyed leaf blocks they gave you sticks as well. After all, leaves are held up by sticks. It is somewhat more realistic and makes the game easier, not harder, considering how abundant leaves are.”

He does reply not to suggestions only audio errors serious bugs and glitches and such
Update out on Amazon!
April Fool’s !!! 😀

Hello kallous i am a big fan. The reason i am posting this is because of tips and ideas. This occurred to me, and i thought that this would make survival craft even more fun! Here they are.
1. Could there be something like dehydration. You have to collect a water bucket or craft a cup and slide it onto your avatar. If you don’t, you could get messages that you are getting dehydration and that you need to drink. Not drinking could lower stamina or make you tired faster.
2. Could you add something like asteroids or metaiors. Rare but cause giant craters, these could add a space touch to the game and also get a rare space element.
3. Could you add something like a current in the rivers, boats and you could float down them.
4. Could you add something like a giant bomb. Makes and enormous explosion , but hard to craft!
5. Could you add alligators, live in rivers or lakes, hunts all kind of fish, slow on land, faster in water drops alligator scales or something. High damage. After you get a certain distance, the alligator goes back to the river.
6. Here are some possible blocks to add:icky
Crystal
Staff: reduces stamina, but wears out quickly!
Also I am into coding, can you give me some tips on how you learned to code and what i can do. I am using android developer. Thank you so much for the great game. Ill try and post some more ideas for you!
Alligators +1
+1 on alligators

It seems like we are getting closer to the final release! :-)
Left-handed controls
Left-Handed Controls are here. They were added in 1.28.
Hi I’m a sc user and just wondering when is the update for the kindle fire going to be out I can’t play it cuz it is bugging up I can even get maps anymore I don’t want to be mean but I really I mean REALLY want the update to be out ;-)
I really want to suggest stuff, then I remember how angry I get when people ask him to put stuff here that’s in mine craft. Because it’s not mine craft. If we wanted that we would have bought it right? So, yeah.
Oops meant to put minecraft as one word. My kindle makes it split. Hopefully Amazon will get the update soon.can’t wait :3
Amazon for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This nicely updated but it is annoying that when we fail in an attack despite the fact that the animal is close Player
but close to the player almost touching the animal attempt to kill a bear with ax failed 10 times
would have been better (probability * distance) that sounds more realistic
It is not april fools
NOW IT IS
I mean ios
good job kaalus.
Kaalus since we have clothes now, it would be cool if we had displays to put them on
like what?
oh maybe the stripes of a lion or a tiger and zebra
no, i mean like for us to be able to edit them. like how you can with skins. like create your own clothes. :)
ow i see
that would be cool!!!
Check out my top 10 request for the next SC update on my blog!
I checked out your blog And I read you “Top 10 Request”…
I’m agree with all of your request…
I only will add this…
1) More Generated Structures (Old Castles? Ruins? Pyramids?)
2) Pistons (Or something similar)
3) Dispensers (Or something similar)
4) Possibility to remove temperature effects in Adventure Maps
5) Possibility to keep all of your inventory after died in Adventure Maps
6) Snakes and Crocodiles
Sorry, my English is not the Best…
YES YES YES!!!! adventure body temperature option please!!! (bet you $50 that Kaalus won’t respond)
Sorry, I’m Italian… I use euros instead of Dollars… I bet… 70€!
ha ha. good !
thanks for checking it out! i like your ideas for SC
Hey Kaalus,how about adding paddle :-) you can sailed faster with a paddle.And how about adding more fruits?Its gonna be a positive teachings to kids to like eat vegetable or fruits.And can you please add a new opening credits?Like please dont abuse animals in real life.i think it will be good teachings to children.If a parent noticed this,maybe they will tell other parents to let their kids playing SC.Because it is teaching the kids many good thing!:-)
Learn some grammar -_-

He/she is probably foreign, judging by the vibe I get from what he wrote (intelligent)
In Minecraft pic today on April fools, u can make love to mobs.. It’s disturbing xD
I play both games, sc and mc
Did I say pic.. Autocorrect -_- I meant pc..
Yeah, I saw that… The “Love Update”

oh geez! that is what i want to here in the morning.
Hey, Kaalus, is there a bug list somewhere for reference? I notice people (including myself) repeatedly reporting the same things in blog comments – might be helpful to know which ones of these you’ve actually seen and queued for fixing :) *coughkeyboardsupportcoughcough*
Glad you asked, yes there is! Join the forum and you can post bug reports and detailed feature requests. And there’s stuff like community builds, resources for texture andd skin development. Lots of stuff!
Please make the world height taller! What’s the point of making the visibility range further if you can’t go high enough to see it without dying?
Kaalus can add sleeping bags????? Minecraft has bed..so, you should add sleeping bags :)
Watch this you will get idea… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G_IiVPL4000
He has, they are called leaves ;) i wouldn’t complain, until you can build a bed in MC you can’t sleep! In SC you can sleep on many blocks, no crafting.
It still went let me get version 1.27 at all. I use Survivalcraft on my Kindle Fire which uses Amazon. Have you put it on Amazon yet?

Hello , Kaalus , look at this out, what do you think ?
Sorry for my English, I use translator.
why do the piranha can attack you even if you are mounted in a boat .. the boat description said you can travel to water QUICKLY AND SAFELY!!
adding this will make the game so realistic
1. tamed pet wolves,hyena,coyote or add some dogs that can be our companion in cruel mode but it can die if its starve or takes damage like normal predators
2. add a jacket with hood that will make us last longer in snow the version 1.24 survival craft let us travel or live in a snowy place but now we can’t.
even if we have a sweater fur coat fur leggings.
3 fruit bearing tree like apple tree or orange tree.
4. minimized the damage of spiked traps when your in a full set.
5. make an inner corner of a stairs that connect
The new engine does not handle large explosions well. It plays the explosion animation and then a few seconds later the blocks and the gunpowder kegs disappear.
This really kills the realism. Please fix.
I find the iOS version handles very large explosions with minimal problems the only time I had a problem on my iPad2 or even on my android device (galaxytab 3) (yes my devices are that old!) was when I spent 13 hours on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to London and 7 hours on a flight from Adelaide (Australia) and two from my hometown of Alice springs in Australia placing large gunpowder Kegs all over a world then set them off it lagged a bit then, maybe you need to change some settings or something on your device? I’m no technician, so please tell me if I’m saying something stupid I hope It helped you :)
In short, I will probably bot be playing this game until the explosions are fixed.
Loving this game, much better than minecraft’s, Great work kaalus, I have an idea for 1.8 or later. How about a horse drawn cart (you could set it up to go on rails or tracks? Could be used to pull stuff around and if ramps/slopes were added used as a minecart and maybe a winch to lift stuff/ take players down mines? Both could be realistically constructed given the level of abilities the player apparently has and would be feasible to be powered off batteries, what does everyone else think of this idea? Please reply with your thoughts on this and any other suggestions. Keep up the good work kaalus and thanks for making the best game on iOS, android, or any other system out there, would love to see it on Mac and windows but I know that’s too much right now.
But it did show one heck of an explosion! Loads of lions tigers bears and wolves etc were toast! So I was pleased with myself! Ain’t I a stinker?
Sorry replied to the wrong post
Or maybe you could do some sort of motorized wagon that could go on paths (just to avoid copying minecraft) or something like that? I don’t know what the technical challenges of that would be for you.
what the heck sir kaalusa lion has spawn in my cave..
living in a cruel mode is not easy!!!
there is no forever living haha
*a lion
Rope to lead/tie up horses camels donkeys and to dock your boat(s) would be a good idea I think
Just so they don’t wander off or in the case of boats get pushed off the shore by animals (or clumsy players like me!)
Wounds in animals and medicine. Please. And multiplayer in 1.27.6. For my sister!!!!
