Enshrouded Update 3 v.0.7.3.0, Back to the Shroud, released on July 27, 2024 Highlights Difficulty & Gameplay Settings We’ve heard your feedback, some players seek a tougher challenge, but others want to focus more on building and adventuring. It’s tough to make the game equally fun for every group of players, as Enshrouded already has a broad audience, which is why we’re introducing adjustable difficulty settings. We prepared several difficulty settings to follow these themes, they affect both single and multiplayer, and also dedicated servers and we’d love to hear your feedback to further refine them. The “Default” difficulty is still present as the baseline and would be the recommended setting for first-time players. The “Relaxed” preset reduces the amount of enemies and provides you with more resources and loot. A perfect mode if you are most interested in base-building and light-hearted adventuring. The “Hard” preset increases the amount of enemies and makes them more aggressive to give you a tougher combat experience. The “Survival” preset is for those who seek some punishment with additional survival mechanics like hunger and dropping all of your backpack on death, on top of more aggressive enemies. Finally, a “Custom” setting where each preset can be freely modified. Crank one or all of the 30 game settings all the way up, mix and match and tailor your adventure! Craft your ideal settings and share your thoughts with us and the community. See this article on our knowledge base to find out how to set up your own server’s difficulty settings. Collectible props Equipment like armor pieces and weapons can now be displayed in your base by attaching them to newly available craftable props. Complete Armor sets can now be changed with the press of a button. Also, the armor stands have varied poses, some of which are hard to hold in real life, all of which look cool. Collectibles (like fossils) can now be found in the world, and can be displayed on decorative shelves.
