I know it's been a very long time since any update, but I've finally started working on Erth again. 
Anyways, what I've been doing is mostly bugfixes, balance and adding minor features:
Better lighting!
New mechanic: if your tool isn't powerful enough, you won't be able to damage an object.
What to expect in Erth Version 5 beta 4:
- Bugfixes
- Autosaving
- Better searching feature in craft notebook
- You'll be able to easily search the recipe for an item in your inventory and it's uses (pulling from crafts you already have cataloged)
- Death bags will fill up with random items from your inventory when you die instead of the left half
- Improvements on Explosives, Chests and Bags, game start time, research, and more
I'll be posting more development news as soon as there is something substantial to show, so stay tuned!
