Quick fix: Starve to Death
The developers suggest this when you’re stuck: pause → Starve to Death. You return to your last save point; respawning items reset, but key items are kept. One player still lost the Sun and Moon coins stored in their bag, so don’t rely on it for items inside a backpack.
You can also set your respawn point by using the first option on a Sleeping Bag.
What patch 1.0.47.0 (Oct 15) fixed
- Backpacks and deathpacks that fall in water now wash up on shore instead of sinking.
- Items are no longer lost when topping up a half stack.
- Swapping backpacks no longer mixes up or duplicates contents.
- Removing a lobby password now works.
Announced for the next patch
The developers’ Dev Blog #11 (Oct 20) lists these changes for the next update. We’ll confirm them here once the patch notes are out:
- Dying no longer drops your backpack — only the food you carry goes into the deathpack.
- Key items and unique treasures can be recovered from the Catalogue.
- The Hammer, Pickaxe and Axe become craftable at the Workbench.
