## Optimizations

So in our last development update this is what we said regarding optimizations.

* We had a bit deeper look into prisoners (your character that you play with) and vehicles. High populated servers should feel the biggest impact as the server will handle bigger player numbers much better now. We saw much fewer FPS drops and big lag spikes. Vehicle physics are lighter now and driving more vehicles at the same time should not present any problems anymore. this is just the start of optimizations as we got still a lot of tricks up our sleeves.

And here are some of the results.

* The first results of optimizations is reflected on the client and server. From the client side the gameplay experience should be much smoother with more players on the server. From the server side we managed to gain a FPS boost that should result with less lag on servers with more players.

This is just the first round of optimizations, and you can expect more of those in the future updates. We are not stopping until lag is history. Optimizations priority all the way!
Keep in mind that results will vary depending on your PC hardware.
P.S People with slower CPUs and better GPUs should get the biggest FPS bost today.
## Digging

Hide your spoils! Now you can safely store your chests underground, just don't forget where you put them!

Here's a little video that shows how it works!

Also you can name your chests anyway you like!

## Navigation

You wanted more navigation tools, so we started to add them. Welcome your new best friend the compass!

So this is how they work:

There are 4 levels of compass items in game. They differ from the amount of information you can read of them.
Depending on your survival skill and the type of compass you have will determine how much information you get from them.
Just with your survival skill you can have the orientation info that you get from the compass. If your survival skill is lvl 1 you will have the level 1 compass indicator up to level 2, that's the maximum level of information you get without an compass item regardless if your survival skill is above 2.
"Then we kinda don't need the compass level 1 and 2 items right?" Well, yes and no. Compass level adds to the survival level.
If your survival level is 1 and you have a compass level 1 your compass UI information that you get is level 2. And with this you can go up to level 3 compass information. For level 4 information you need a level 4 compass.
Level 1 - You can see just the north (N)
Level 2 - You see all 4 sides of the world (N,E,S,W)
Level 3 - You see 8 sides of the world (N,E,S,W,NE,SE,SW,NW)
Level 4 - You see 8 sides with degrees between them.

A look how the level 4 compass UI looks like.

While we are at navigation we changed the player indicator on the map from the triangle to a red point.

## Personalized Signs

Wouldn't you love to invite your friends to your "Fort Fluff"? Well, now you can put a name on it!

## Military Base

* We finished up the underground part of the new military base in D4

## New Armor

We did some little rework on our armor vests. Now you have only 3 tiers of vests(gonna add more with time).

Previously vests had varying levels of protection they gave you, they were recognizable by colour, now we have evened out the protection benefit and split them into three categories.

Level 1 - Stabproof Vests (Visual those stayed the same as before)
Level 2 - Military/Police Vests (All the vests that looked them same but had different values)
Level 3 - Armored Vests (Those are new and you can check them out on the pics bellow)
