The Infected News

Hi everyone, more fixes and changes.

BUGFIX - Some caves would not allow the cart to enter it.
BUGFIX - Cart would sometimes get stuck in caves.
BUGFIX - Could not build Cart on steep landscape, the ground had to be almost entirely flat in order to build it.

CHANGE - More cave ore balancing. I found players would get too much Iron and Copper.

- Instead of 4 ores dropped, now only 3 will.
- Removed copper from drops and replace it with Stone, or Clay.
- Still a chance at Iron drops but much less.
- Slightly reduce overall boulder spawns.

Basically now, you are guaranteed to get 2 Lead Ores and the third will randomly be a Stone, Clay or Iron Ore.

So unless something game breaking, this will be the last hotfix for V8. I will now start working on V9.0 and will post a progress report like usual here on steam once I get a few things done.

Hi Everyone,

Just another small Hotfix update with a few changes and 1 addition.

BUGFIX - Medical Kit was not curing infections when used.
BUGFIX - I Think I resolved all scenarios where a log would get stuck in your hands.
BUGFIX - Removed some floating objects in towns and fixed a floating boulder.
BUGFIX - Katana would sometimes get stuck after swings.
BUGFIX - Loot quantity when harvesting Vambies would be larger than the possible stack amount.
CHANGE - Added copper to the possible drops of cave boulders.
CHANGE - Added a few more items to the loot list of harvesting dead Vambies.
CHANGE - Added Medical Bandage to the Medical Kit Recipe.
CHANGE - Added 2 new tutorial tasks, build a forge and craft an iron ingot. Many new players were getting frustrated not knowing how to acquire Iron Ingots.
CHANGE - Removed the pickup animation when picking up the first log. Many found it annoying having to wait and that delay was the cause of sometimes logs visually being stuck when in fact none were being held.
CHANGE - Updated all language cultures to include new tutorial task translations.

ADDED - Players can now also add storage chest to the cart. You can add up to 2 rock crates and 2 storage chests.

Please note: I needed to add a new field in a table to identify if players are adding crates or chests. The first time you load your game, if you have crates in the cart, they will be there but not attached to the cart. Simply move them away and replace them in the cart. This is only necessary the first time you load a file on V8.4.

Hi everyone, a few more fixes.

BUGFIX - Rain sound when snowing when you enter or exit caves in the winter.
BUGFIX - Using the Katana would sometimes block other weapons/tools from being able to be used.
BUGFIX - The AI was never intended to damage placeables such as chest, workbenches etc. In some circumstances they were and it is now fixed and should no longer happen.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for another update but found more issues to fix and resolve.

BUGFIX - Stackable foods with perish times was causing an issue in fridges, such as the new mushroom item. I have removed perish time from mushrooms and they no longer can go into fridges. Any mushrooms already in your inventory after this change will still show a perish time and any new ones acquired will not. I may add perish time back but for now I wanted a quick fix.

BUGFIX - Rain showing when in POI houses.

BUGFIX - Raccoon spawn rate was way to low and almost never seen, increased now.

BUGFIX - Cart would get stuck if trying to enter caves with it.

CHANGE - Dropped items on the ground with the exception of a few things like weapons and logs would despawn after 3 mins. I have changed the despawn time from 3 mins to 5 mins giving players a bit more time to perhaps go pick them up.

Hi everyone,

Just a small hotfix update following the launch of V8.0.

BUGFIX - Rain was visible sometimes in caves.
BUGFIX - Could not Alt/click Steel alloy and Lead Ore into forges.
BUGFIX - Mushrooms were added to the Ration food item but was missing that info in its craft description.
BUGFIX - I forgot to add mushrooms to the Itempedia, now added.
