The Infected News

V6.4 is now available as a small New Years surprise. There are a handful of missing translations that will be added at a later time.


ADDED - The Brick Forge.

Consider this the work horse of forging- the Brick Forge can handle the work of 5 forges but requires far less management & fuel. Requires 50 Dry Bricks and 10 Iron Ingots to build, the forge has 10 smelting slots and a slower fuel burn time.




CHANGE - Placeable stacking.

Born of Community suggestions for Battery storage, take a peek at the image below!





OTHER CHANGES:

CHANGE - By popular demand, you can now add/remove items to the forge using the Alt/Click method.

CHANGE - Mineral Extractor Change: added clay drop to the mineral extractor when not on an extraction site. New drop rates are: 20% Stone, 20% Iron Ore, 20% Clay and 40% Iron Fragments.


-------------------------

We hope you guys have a happy & safe New Years Day and enjoy the new mini update. Oh and those not currently active on our Discord, you might want to check the Steam general forums for a new pinned post....ːsteammockingː

Hi everyone,

I know, I know, I said no more of these till V7 lol.

However I wanted to fix a couple more things and make a significant change to the mineral extractors.


BUGFIX - Could not repair the new wood and concrete railings.

BUGFIX - World Temp would not be adjusted for the player when in the greenhouse. Now always reads 23 degrees C. This was leading to confusion as players thought they still needed to build heaters etc.

CHANGE - Quite a few have expressed the need to look at the Stone smelting mechanic to gather Iron Fragments. I have made some changes to the extractor to help address this potential problem for some. Mineral Extractor will now drop Iron Fragments, Iron Ore and Stone in none ore extraction sites. Previously players would only get coal and stone. This change is to help reduce the melting of stone on forges to get Iron Fragments. Players will still have to grind the forges to get the first extractor but after that players can rely on the extractor to get iron if they so choose. Drop rates are: 40% Iron Fragment, 40% Iron Ore, 20% Stone.

PS: I do have plans to introduce a larger forge in V7 and also the additions of caves that will also contain ores.

Have a great day.

Hi Everyone,

Just a few more fixes before I start on the next content update.

Unless any other game breaking issues, I will not be doing anymore hotfix updates till after the next content update. I need a few weeks to focus and integrate the new AI behavior system. I will post more info regarding V7.0 in a few days.

BUGFIX - Clone/duplicate items bug on crafting stations when adding the items needed to the station and closing the UI.
BUGFIX - Could not upgrade the new wood railing open.
BUGFIX - Using the large flask to turn off campfire would use up all the water in the flask and not just 1.
BUGFIX - Hold the "F" key and press the "M" key would result in the compass and health bar stats UI to stay stuck on screen.
ADDED - Can now craft lighters, some have reported missing lighters or simply lost in chests somewhere. Can craft with just 1 Iron Fragment.

Some have also been experience a crash when loading the game after an update. Please refer to the "Crashing?" pinned thread for potential fixes.

Have a great day

Hi Everyone,

Some greenhouse changes and fixes.

CHANGE - Increased durability of the greenhouse from 100 to 500. Because of this change, when you log in for the first time after this change, you will need to repair it to 500.

BUGFIX - Could not repair the Greenhouse.

Some have also been experience a crash when loading the game after an update. Please refer to the "Crashing?" pinned thread for potential fixes.

Have a great holidays everyone,

Hi Everyone.

So V6 is now live on the main branch with all the missing text translations.

I would please ask everyone on the beta branch to switch back to the live branch when possible.

All save files from the beta branch will work just fine when switching back to the main branch.

Have fun and a great holiday.
