The latest 2.2 fix update should now be available in Google Play. Unfortunately other platforms will have to wait until after Christmas, as the stores have shut their review process. If we get lucky, maybe Windows App may squeeze through in the next few hours, but I wouldn’t count on that.
In the meantime, I have started work on 2.3. So far one thing ticked off my todo list!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for the fix!
You should put a Patreon. So we could support you than just a one time payment.
True. We don’t care the inconsistency of posting new content there. We just wanted to help by supporting you, Kaalus.
Good idea!
Merry christmas kaalus! Hope you enjoy your holiday! Just take your time :)
Merry Christmas Kaalus!
Merry Christmas!
Oooh! I’m excited for 2.3 update also merry solstice too
Great to know you are for sure back on track. We are eagerly waiting.
Have you seen the bug report about crafting with a paint bucket being broken in survival mode???
We CANNOT craft ANYTHING that requires a paint bucket ! This breaks the game for me since I frequently use 7-seg displays for clocks in my ‘stations’. (This release clearly could have used more thorough beta testing…)
Did you use your paint bucket once? 7-led display is craftable unless you paint bucket lost durability
your*
of course it was an unused bucket
try again – in survival mode. It works OK in creative mode…
Didn’t know the problem was in taking out led from crafting table
Marry Christmas kaalus!! So
Excited for 2.3!! Enjoy the holidays!
Btw I love these small post!
Merry Christmas Kaalus and SC players!
Dittos to all and back at you Aesop!
please do the crawling instead of sneaking
you have implemented loosing breath while sneaking in 1m deep water, so we should be able to go through one high gaps
thanks
This would be an amazing feature but it could break many adventure maps!
oh, ok
i don’t do adventure maps XD
Oh my gosh Kaalus I wish we would have found this sooner, but you cant craft LEDs! The LED just gets stuck in the crafting table and you cant take it out!
Like I said above – ANYTHING that requires a paint bucket cannot be crafted in survival modes now.
Serious bug here.
Merry Christmas Kaalus! And a happy new year!
Merry Christmas Kaalus!
Thank you very much for the hope of 2.3. ;-) Merry Christmas, Kaalus! And a happy New Year to you and your family.
I am working on a browser-based world editor for Survivalcraft. The GitHub repository is at https://github.com/dullbananas/editsc
Hi Igor Kalicinski I found some bugs. Please fix them:

These bugs are on the forum I reported them as Asadefa please fix them
Also please consider adding wire through iron blocks. I even made the texture:

I found out that saltpeter as furnace fuel is really buggy. It kind of is but kind of isn’t it is weird please fix it
Also programming a stack of any editable item like memory banks or pistons in survival will leave you with ONE. I wasted a lot of germanium and copper! Please fix this!
That’s been around forever. It should program all the items in the stack.
I think the bug fix update is on Windows!!
I am curious from what will happen in 2.3. I hope the features are good, and I hope you did not listen to all the people wanting to add fantasy nonsense.
Here are some SENSIBLE IDEAS THAT FIT THE GAME:
Remove – item despawning (it is not realistic and is very annoying)
Add – Search bar in community content
Change – Marble projectile resistance and blast resistance to higher values
Change – Malachite Block projectile resistance and blast resistance to higher values
Add – wire through iron block with 1490 blast resistance, for building blast proof electric systems
Add – iron slab with 750 blast resistance, iron stair with 1000 blast resistance
Change – Water no longer destroy slabs, stairs, doors
Change – Increased underwater visibility (especially in creative)
Add – Ability to disable darkness altogether in creative mode
Add – Iron framed glass made from rods and glass, with 100 blast resistance and immune to projectiles
Add – Circuit board so I can make complex circuits that do not consume a massive amount of space
Add – Ice box crafted from 8 ice and one chest (now that ice is obtainable, this could give it a use), that can be used to store food to prevent it from rotting
Fix – Programming a stack of programmable items in survival leaves you with one
Fix – Metal armor as furnace fuel
Thanks for fixing the iron trapdoor problem.
Unlike nonsense suggestions like for dragons or zombies, I think these would fit the game better.
Good suggestions. Especially circuit boards. We also need something similar to Minecraft’s command blocks for creative mode
Thanks
Another thing I forgot to mention is an iron chest/box/vault to safely store my loot without risk of explosions or burning would be nice
Some people are reporting a bug where is impossible to craft everyting that involves Paint Buckets (LEDs, Displays etc.), Hopefully will be fixed soon.
Merry Christmas to anyone here! (Including your friends and family too)!
Even to me?
only if you have friends and family.
Why not?
Yes 2.2 is out on window store
I want the ability to make furniture that have more than 9 states and be able to make custom chests, benches, furnace, and dispensers the smae way you make custom switches and buttons
Well we’re all probably gonna have to agree that we won’t see something for at least one year 😕
I do not agree
Marr Christmas:) ° Can you maybe try to add better multiplayer because it is hard to play on one screen and after some time the Bluetooth controllers gets a bit lag during game and it gets really uncomfortable to sit straight up for your friends to see on the screen too.. If the game could have multiplayer Lan through Bluetooth or Hotspot/Wifi then that would be wonderful:) Thank you
Spooky Challenge:
Hunt for animals at night
Bonus: Make dark areas brightness 0.
Extra Bonus: Do this on a New Moon
Mega Bonus: Enable supernatural creatures
Huge Bonus: play in a silent and dark room alone
Maybe with full iron armor its possible…its hard to survive day in general xD
It would be nice if Kaalus adds Mining Helmet which has a flashlight installed.. or allow us to hold a torch in one hand and a weapon on another.
bullet: the ball musket bullet with gunpowder, in a iron rod casing. Makes 3
Lever action: musket with rod at bottom and extra block and piston.
I have an idea as to how to improve the experience system. Make it more like Fallout’s system, more specifically like Fallout 4.
Each xp level you gain adds a point that you can use to upgrade your character. If you’ve played Fallout 4, you know what I mean. This would also mean that you should no longer lose xp when you die, and gaining a level will feel more satisfying.
I also want armor that looks awesome.
The biggest reason that Kaalus added leveling, was to discourage dying. Now you want to cancel that?
Yeah, xp will help me to not get mauled by a bear or struck by a lighting. Also is very difficult to gain xp.
I make wolf traps and I have a door into it a block from the ground. The door must close flush with the trap inside. Animals cannot jump into a door, unless if they are on top of another animal. It happens sometimes. I then kill the wolves and bears. It gives a lot of xp and leather.
But the easiest way to get xp, is to do farming on a big scale. If you have time, do autofarming. Before you know it, you will will be over level 20.
The first doesn’t works on harmless tho
In all the years, I have actually never played harmless. It is a bit boring. Anyway, I did not know that.
Itll work in harmless you just have to attack the animals first.
I love the new update. But there are a lot of problem.. One that I have notice is that I could not build while jumping. I could not kill a Bear even I am level 1 and with stone club and spear in your hand. Hope that this issue will be fixed.
Thanks for the update for the torch, I don’t need to walk around and look for blocks to create a torch.
About the long sleep issue, i think i know why you couldn’t replicate it, i tried survivalcraft on my pc and saw how quick sleep was, and i think it has to do with the framerate, when you sleep on a mobile device, (at least on my device), the frames drop to about 10, while in my pc, it stays at 60, so maybe the lower the frames, the slower time is and the longer it takes to sleep
Merry Christmas Kaalus.
I have uploaded my newest texture. i have made a few small changes to make it more realistic. It is uploaded on community content. There are a few redundant textures still in it.
You are welcome to give some suggestions.
Sorry, here is it again without download needed:
Bug:
The islands around the mainland are very nice now, except for an old bug. There are zero birds on them.
I suppose to let the birds know where land is, might be more difficult, but you do manage it with other animals. Please get birds on islands!
Plz add servers, villages, and a final boss.
Well, I really hope you are ACTUALLY going to work on 2.3 and not disappear for another year. I’d hate to come back to this site 6 months in the future and see this post still here with 1000+ comments. Don’t let us down again.
If that happens, it just means that the update is big
Muchas gracias por corregir errores
Feliz Navidad.
Me gustaría que te sentraras en la historia de cada personaje en la 2.3 gracias.
Se que hacer animaciones no es fácil pero si a futuro se pudiese me gustaría que el skin se agachara y se acostara….
Esto servirá para mapas de desafios y retos grandes……solo es una opinion por favor no me tomen a mal.
Gracias
Respecto a la prolongacion del sueño
Yo opino que esto es algo mejor aunque una barra de sueño no estara nada mal saber la hora aproximadamente…… Todo esto quiero llegar a que cuando duerme el personaje descansa el jugador también y se relaja ademas podria ser un descanso visual….
Gracias
Este es una buena idea, también me gustaría abrir las recetas de artesanía mientras duermo. Perdón el mal espanol.
The update now is really hard to survive. Especially when you spawn in the cold area, no trees and no food to kill.
1 – could not create copper weapons when you are level 1 (understandable)
2 – could not build blocks when jumping or moving around (not good while building a tower)
3 – Low Hit RATE using a club (you will die easily)
4 – When killing a Bear > Stone Club + Spear + wooden Armor2 = DEATH
Not Good Update.
I do not think it is too hard if you spawn in a good location, but like you said, it is hard to survive in cold areas. It is easy to freeze, but finding food from birds is not too hard with spears. It is best to avoid bears and other animals early on. I hope there can be a mode harder than Harmless but slightly easier than Challenging.
I have posted it, but it seems it did not go through.
I have made a few changes to my texture pack to make it a bit more realistic. Feel free to make suggestions.
It is in the Community Content as Johan Real HD 2.2:
I’ve changed the rye a bit (not much) as well as the spruce tree leaves. I also removed the flower on the cactus. There are still old redundant textures.
Do you do other texture packs too or just the one?
I have a medieval one as well.
Well done as usual!
Good Texture Pack :)
Hello, Kaalus, recently I’ve found a survival bug, player can’t craft leds and displays with paint buckets — item snaps back.
Can you fix it please?
I have a question about the campfire in 2.2.
Is it normal that now it accepts an unlimited quantity of fuel without reject anything? I throw 40 wood plank and all of that gets consumed.
Thought it did that before
Yeah it always does that. It’s best to throw it in one it a time, I lost an entire stack of planks like you did too.
Railroad tracks please! It would be so fun to design roller coasters! Minecraft would be obliterated if you designed a chain that can take the cart up the hill and breaks to slow down the carts. Merry Christmas please think about this!
I think he’s gonna work on mUlTiPlAyEr
I wish
Merry Christmas to u 2 Kaalus!🙃
I have tried to post a pic of my new texture pack here, but it seems that WordPress is not allowing it. Anyway, I have updated my texture pack a bit to make it more realistic. You’re welcome to give some criticism on it. It is in Community Content as Johan Real HD 2.2.
Hi Kaalus,
I believe the recent change in block placing mechanics should only be implemented in Cruel mode and not challenging mode. Some would say that if I didn’t like it, I should just play Harmless mode. But harmless mode is too easy. Those more realistic/hardcore game mechanics should be in Cruel. Challenging should be between Harmless and Cruel. As it is right now, Challenging is more closer to Cruel.
I’ve read Google Play Store reviews about this too. This change make it difficult for new players as well.
Yes, agree, i write rhis idea too
The only difference between challenging and cruel is no respawn. So of course they’re very similar.
What you’re really asking for is another difficulty mode between harmless and challenging.
YES, finally, people recognizes the need for this imaginary mode!
Rather ask for a an intermediate mode between harmless and challenging. These new changes are just fine for the older players and I do not want to play cruel to get them. It was hard in the beginning, but you learn to deal with them.
Maybe it will be good to have such a level in between.
I wish you could add lan multiplayer in 2.3 am really waiting since 2015 i play this game with my brother i”m turning 18 but still i play this game because of the graphics is look like realistic for me but me and my brother were waiting to the lan multiplayer i hate split Multiplayer its not easy for some android user who didn’t use Tablet
Can you add a [Search bar] On The Community!, So I Can Find What I Was Searching For FASTER!!
It would be awesome, also being able to preview texture packs and skins
Plz raise the hot bar for the newer iPhones because the line that you swipe up to go home interferes with it
I had that issue with my 11 pro, then realized you can use guided access to get rid of the home bar.
Stupid iphone design
No u. Now stop fandroid.
Yes.
The update is bad, nor being a veteran in the game can I survive the first night. It was more possible before and now the challenge is superior to the majority skills. The player is terribly slow, everything is terrible. You should modify that before you lose more loyal players. I’m leaving until he perceived challenge equals the ability of the majority.
Please take a look Kaalus
As I play the new update more I find myself in frozen tundras and dry wastelands far too often. So I noticed there aren’t many pleasant biomes to be in. A few are ugly/annoying to come across. It would be really cool if you could add some new biomes such as redwood forests and swamps or something like that. I really want the adventuring to be more fun in this game but the only really good biomes are ocean islands, temperate forests, plains, spruce snowy, and tall spruce forests. I’d like to have more. I have two maps to show you that would be cool if you’d take a look at to get some ideas.
Mystic Springs:
h ttps://dl.dropbox.com/s/w0hde7f4j8z85bq/MysticSprings%20%281%29.scworld?dl=1
This one has a really cool island formation, waterfalls, and a lot of forest brush that would be cool to find it’s way into the natural terrain generation of SC.
Nkiruka Island:
h ttps://dl.dropbox.com/s/lxezld2pa41mzg6/Nkiruka%20Island%20%281%29.scworld?dl=1
This one has a cool formation too but the trees are more of the interest here. It is some new types of trees that would greatly benefit the game.
Everyone else feel free to take a look, suggestion or not the people who made these two worlds have crazy talent. (Remove space between h ttps)
Animais se reproduzindo por favor kaalus!!!!
great game I wanted to ask you to add hippos, gorillas and crocodiles as they are one of the animals of the African fauna that is missing in the game. I also ask you to put a fridge or freezer.

Hello guys, I wanted to ask you all if you can help me with a problem.
I have published furniture packs and worlds, but after awhile I can’t find them in the community, I have even look under the your items only tab and it is empty. Do you know why this is? And if there is a way I can find my past published items.
My second problem is that I’ve been having a problem with people downloading my furniture packs then putting them into their own furniture packs and claiming them as their own.
I am responsible for the pool table, air hockey table, and foos ball table that has been circulated in many furniture packs. These are links to what they look like.
Is there a way to stop people from stealing my furniture as their own. When they do this is lowers the amount of downloads on my packs.
We do not have copyright on our publications. They do the same with my texture packs. I’ve even seen it in Minecraft. But I have also used other’s textures. This is community content and we borrow from each other. Yes it is nice when you see your stuff at the top, but rather be greatful when you see other people use your designs. I have made a nice pack for roof tiles, but it is a small pack. It will make more sense if it is in a combo pack.
We all like to be appreciated, but sometimes it becomes very selfabsorbing.
If you really don’t want people to “steal” your content, publish it somewhere other than community content.
Oh hey guys I’m sorry I offended you guys. I don’t want to cause an argument. I was just under the impression that community content meant you share your designs with the community for them to use and place in their worlds, but I didn’t know it was ok to claim another person’s designs as your own. I also thought the whole Top Rated and 5 star system was created to encourage players to get their designs to be in the Top Rated section. I must be mistaken sorry not trying to offend, I didn’t know this is how the community is suppose to be, so anyway….. can anyone help me with my first problem at least?
idk. try emailing kaalus
Those are common problems. Most of my contributions seem to disappear rather quickly. Also you’re only allowed so many items in CC at one time.
And I looked over your designs thinking you had ‘stolen’ them from me. It’s common courtesy to give credit when using other people’s ideas and designs but ‘common courtesy’ isn’t so common online and especially not when (poorly raised) children are involved. . .
maybe you can post your worlds on the SC discord server instead
https://discord.gg/fRcfA8c
Thanks for the suggestions guys. And Stanimus, so true, I have to remember children play this game too. Haha (poorly raised)
As an example, look at my texture pack I have posted above. You’ll see i mention other packs within the pack itself, but people downloading it, will not even know this, unless you open it in a picture viewer. I just don’t know how you would do that in furniture though, as well as when texture packs become bigger.
Fix a bug with sound, it’s not logical to hear a wolf or a hyena on the surface when you are in a mine with a depth of at least 5 blocks …. I’m already silent about the fact that they are heard in the middle layers of the rock (basalt). Kaalus fix this bug please.
Long sleep time should be fixed soon
HOw the heck to post images?
i think you just post the image url
You have to upload them somewhere else, get the url for it, and post that url here.
Levels!?! Why does a REALISM game have an artificial construct like this? I dig, I find copper, I should darn well be able to use it! I shouldn’t have to wait for what – “LEVEL 2” to appear in the SKY in bold letters!?! If they are for experience, they should not be taken away when you die. That’s part of learning and progressing in this game.
Levels aren’t in the real world. Please just remove them!
yeah, is so anoying when instead of finding copper you only find iron and not being able to use it.
1. Even though this game is made to be realistic, it still is not real life. When you remove blocks, others stay in the air. When you take water, it replaces itself. When you die, you actually become alive again, etc etc.
2. Levels do have a realistic function. When you are morooned on an island without a lot of knowledge, you do not know how to do many things. As time goes by, you learn new skills. You are actually lucky that you know how to make basic things like making a stone axe and even make fire with only sticks.
As you acquire skills, you learn how to use malachite and make copper. If you find a copper tool before that, you can use it, it is only making it that requires new skill.
How is that not realistic?
The reason Kaalus let’s you lose your skill (only half – which is even a bit unrealistic), is to discourage you from dying. Many just die to get out of a situation or to regain health or food level. I’ve seen this before this update as well as in Minecraft.
Kaalus wants you to be more careful about your life, maybe not even just in this game. Life is not just something you lose and you get another, unless you believe in reincarnation.
This system does make you a lot more careful to just die. If you hate it and want to cheat life, just go into creative and add new xp and cheat.
I agree completely, although it’s a bit annoying when I die and loose experience. I always play in harmless mode
Agreed levels have a good purpose although I can say not being able to make certain tools until you’re a certain level can be annoying but it isnt that bad. You need to be level 4 for diamond tools you should be at that point by then easily
Very wise words. Just MHO I feel that if you’ve mined the ore to make copper tools, mined the stone to make the furnace, you should be able to use them and make the copper tools. This is easy to do still at level 1 yet you’re told you must be level 2. That seems arbitrary when you’re standing there with those resources, ready to smelt, and are told “nope, you must kill more animals with sticks first, before you can do what you know how to do.”
On the other hand, I agree with you that without levels death can be an easy out. And I heartily agree the game promotes situational awareness, discipline, and valuing your life. Very good lessons. I continue to play.
If Kaalus will give a different texture for mimosa trees, I have made a few options. Which will be best?
I have a test pack with one tree in it, including leaves.
These are from photos I have taken myself here in South Africa and do not have any copyright on them.
I believe that the bug fix update is out on all platforms now!!
Yes it is
PC hasn’t updated has it?
Kaalus, I noticed that you just updated the game! I am now no longer able to paste things into text fields in the game! When you hold down on the text a box should come up that allows you to paste ( and do other things ). Doesn’t come up. I am on iOS 13.
Nevermind. It was a problem on my end
I sure hope we don’t have to wait for 2.3 just to get the broken crafting system fixed!
I uninstalled 2.2 because I can’t craft anything that uses a paint bucket! (and the other yet-to-be-addressed bugs as well)
I hate it when minecraft fanboys badmouth survivalcraft.
ikr
Version 2.2.10.4 crashes on Android 4.2.2. It forces close when opening the game. Cleaning game app data doesn’t fix it. Version 2.2.10.3 runs nornally.
* Update!* I’d like to report that I was wrong. Version 2.2.10.4 runs normally on Android 4.2.2. It was a problem related to my phone. Not the game. It’s working fine. I apologize and I’m sorry if I caused any trouble.
I’m really enjoying the new updates.
Thank you, Kaalus.
Also does literally everything have to be a mountain it’s impossible to get around. There’s no use for them either, they have no recourses or animals that spawn really. Also I noticed you made ores rarer and turned down spawn rates (or so it seems) which makes the game very frustrating
Is the 2.3v is coming? Its been a years
