New small patch in publicbeta (v228), last patch promoted to main branch (v226)
Hello, it's patch day again! Just another bunch of bug fixes and tweaks :) I feel I'm getting pretty close to being able to release the game out of early access now so a lot of the patches are going to be stuff like this. I'm trying to focus on fixing things and avoid adding new features that then introduce new bugs and also need translation work. Speaking of which, it looks like the Latin American Spanish translation is really close to being finished, thanks Facundo!
I've had some reports of large communities getting into feuds that trigger more feuds until it becomes impossible for anyone to do any work, this patch makes some small changes to try and address that. I've tried to make the AI for fighting from watchtowers better at getting ammo when they run out. And I've made the dump truck knock things over more easily without having its momentum stopped by them, so it feels more like the juggernaut it's supposed to be.
I've also added an Active Mods tab to the Sort Order drop-down when selecting mods, so you can see the ones you have already selected without having to scroll around a lot.
Here's the full list:
The previous patch seems to have been okay so it has been moved to the main branch. This enables online co-op players to start relationships and friendships with your community members, like the main player can do.

v228 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:
To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".

- Fix for player being able to manually pour lumpy liquids like stew or curry into bottles
- Fix a situation where characters could get stuck in restraining animation loop

- Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
- If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
- If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
