Enshrouded Patch #5 v.0.7.4.1 Refines World and Animal Systems
Enshrouded Patch #5 brings improved animal taming, villager pathfinding, and UI changes for cold resistance.
Keen Games has rolled out Patch #5 for Enshrouded, introducing extensive mechanical refinements for base villagers, animal husbandry, crafting, and environmental survival.
Animal Husbandry and Villager AI
Villagers and farm animals now behave with greater predictability. Animals have larger bed-detection ranges and no longer get attacked by bees, while cats and dogs are immune to player lightning channel attacks. Villagers now sleep on the floor if beds are missing, stop blocking doorways, and utilize chairs and toilets properly. Resource production speeds from animals have been lowered, but stack sizes have been increased to reduce maintenance.
Survival and Crafting Adjustments
Silver and obsidian ore require less time to gather while maintaining total yields. The coldness and hypothermia UI has been completely overhauled, displaying encroaching freezing meters alongside accurate time-to-hypothermia countdowns. Furthermore, rain occurs less frequently, drying off is faster when sheltered, and wells now regenerate water naturally.
Why this patch matters
Patch #5 significantly smooths out base-building mechanics and survival metrics, making long-term base management much less tedious.
