Dev Notes[]

Hey Everyone,

This patch we’ve added a major new weapon/tool! You’ll find it hidden in one of the caves.

We’ve also added new loading screens, and the first pass of localization. This should be considered experimental for now, as it only contains French language and is not yet complete.

For multiplayer – this patch adds a bunch of new clothing variations. An open hood, new shirts, a new jacket variation and new toques to randomly add variation to the different players.

You can now run dedicated servers without needing the steam client. We also fixed some additional issues with dedicated servers, and improved how saving works in larger games. You’ll need to restart your servers with the latest version to be compatible with this patch release.

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub.
