New patch in publicbeta - Friendship Quests!

Hey everyone, it's March - my first month of working full time on this! In this patch I'm introducing friendship quests. When you ask your community members "What's up?", and if they like you, they'll ask you to go on these little side missions with them. There's 3 types of quest so far, and once you've done them you'll become friends next time you ask what's up, and the time after that they'll suggest some future plans, the same as your romantic partners would. This means it's a bit easier to reach the end of the game (as you can do it either by 'romance' or 'friendship'), and also there's just more stuff to do that lets you get to know your community members :)



Here's the full change list:
  • Friendship quests
  • Some fixes for crafters saying they don't have enough space in their inventory to carry something, when they really do
  • Fix for traders starting a war by attacking our walls when trying to attack a passing enemy
  • Fix for crash that occurred when a remembered speech got deleted from a mod
  • Some usability improvements to the script editor - e.g. made different object types different colors, and use names like Speaker and Quest Giver depending on context instead of Actor, Target etc.
  • Some small fixes to the flirt quests
  • Show ellipses instead of going to more than 2 rows on Take All
  • Make Take All require hold if there's a large amount of stuff, as can be annoying if you take them all by accident
  • Some menu optimizations
  • Some new menu sounds
  • Hungarian translation update


[h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3]
v141 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:
  • 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".

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".
