Awesome stuff :D, push out feel great and I'm agree also with the power up removal except speed boost that is nice.
The hide feature still has a lot of potential, maybe re-think that in a different way that's not a power up but an intentional behavior that could be used to hunt ( both animals and humans) or to escape. Perhaps something you can toggle when near by a certain object, such as "hide behind a tree", etc...

On the movement side with the push out, the speed boost, and different speed up and down hills, the game feels way much better....great job, I'd suggest perhaps to consider also a short sprint (some seconds) on the above speed you have with a double click...cause sometime you need just a little sprint, and will make the gameplay even more dynamic, I beleive.
Example, you are walking at 2x speed, you double click and he will run for some seconds at 3x speed.

Also very interested in the rendering rewrite, let us know something about down the route. Cheers

Would be a lot more intuitive than clicking tiny icons. Iike the idea a lot.

If it's done, please make it in addition to speed modifiers, not instead of. I can't do the double clicking due to wrist damage.

Right now amber uses Shift+ Q/W/E/R to pick a run speed. I use it frequently, and feel it's a decent control setup.

Edit: Push out is the solution we've all been dreaming of. Hopefully the crashing gets resolved, but even if it takes a week it's worth it for this game addition.

On the topic of client improvements, a hotkey to interact with the nearest object to the player would be amazing. I saw a suggestion about making harvesting dreams easier but I figure you could do the same for almost any object with a single interaction or the first interaction if it has multiple. Opening/closing gates, opening containers, interacting with an anvil or crucible, foraging, hold/release wheelbarrow, etc.

Push-out is really great although I am interested to see how combat goes for anyone relying on clipping people along stuff. However group fights might be improved if you end up blocking your own guys less so that's a large benefit.

Thanks for the update Jorb! Also glad to see the weather effects turned down (and off in most cases) as it was super cluttering up the mini-map. Great update!

Really love the push-out. It's not perfect, but it makes the game so much less frustrating, especially at home.
