Sunkenland Update v0.2.03 is the next step in the game's early access journey, complete with some big changes and bug fixes in its patch notes. These include adjustments for Iron Skull Base, recoil, and cooking times, as well as the addition of a new low-level oxygen tank, combat flag, and more. With that, here's the latest Sunkenland patch notes and how it will shake things up for players.

What’s in Sunkenland Update v0.2.03?

First, it’s important to mention that the Sunkenland Update v0.2.03 doesn’t add new features or systems to the game. Instead, it focuses on gameplay optimizations and various bug fixes. For instance, some crafting recipes are now in Tier 1, making them more accessible. These items include the bows and inflation stations. The crafting blueprints for bows, in particular, no longer exist, allowing new players to craft these long-range weapons sooner rather than later. Additionally, this patch shortens cooking time, particularly when preparing food on grills and advanced grills. That way, players can focus more on farming items unknown instead of lingering in their bases for extended periods. As mentioned earlier, Update V0.2.03 for Sunkenland also fixes some specific issues. For instance, players should no longer encounter a problem wherein welding doesn't work. Also, you should now have better peace of mind, knowing that all firearms work correctly, unlike before.
