The Molasses Flood hat das erste große Inhaltsupdate für die Early-Access-Version von The Flame in the Flood (ab 14,99€ bei kaufen) via Steam veröffentlicht. Mit der Einführung der Werkbanken kommt der vollständige Crafting-Baum ins Spiel. Fortan kann man auch Pfeil-und-Bogen zu Jagdzwecken herstellen. Feuerstellen können nun überall platziert werden (nur nicht im Wasser). Ansonsten haben die Entwickler die Engine aktualisiert, die Balance in nahezu allen Bereichen optimiert und die Landschaftsregion "das Ödland" hinzugefügt. Alte Speicherstände funktionieren mit der neuen Version nicht mehr.

• Bow & Arrow - craftable bow & arrows, they can be used to hunt predators & rabbits
