World
  • Rivers - Six rivers now run across the Isle of Nugs, from the mountains down to the lakes and the sea. The dry west, north and south-west finally have water: over half the island used to be more than a kilometre from fresh water, now it's about a quarter

  • Tarn of the Summit - A mountain lake high on the western peak, spilling off the mountain in a cascade of waterfalls down to the sea

  • Strange Spring - A glowing turquoise hot spring on top of the plateau that steams day and night. Its creek runs off the plateau's cliff edge as a waterfall

  • Waterfalls - Rivers drop over ledges as real waterfalls, with mist and splashes where they land

  • River Rocks - Boulders sit in the rivers and the current breaks around them in ripples and spray

  • Micro Grass - Fine, dense short grass on sunny open ground breaks up the flat ground under your feet

Water
  • River Current - Rivers carry you downstream when you swim or wade. Swim against it to fight the flow

  • Splashes & Wakes - Dinos splash when they jump or fall into water, and leave a wake as they wade and swim

  • Sticks - Every now and then a stick falls out of a tree. Pick it up in your mouth with E, drop it in a river and watch it float away

Dinos
  • Night Vision - Carnivores press F to see nearby dinos glowing red, even through the dark and the grass

Map
  • Rivers on the Map - The island map (M) now shows the rivers, the tarn and the spring
