The Infected News

Hi Everyone,

BUGFIX - The new Itempedia buttons were mixed up, clicking on resources for example was opening food and drinks.

CHANGE - Stumps now removable, they give 4 firewood when destroyed and will respawn after 5 game days.
CHANGE - Wooden Pillars can now overlap ceilings, roofs and railing.

Hi Everyone,

This update is to primarily push a bunch of under the hood changes needed in order to add localization to the game.

ADDED - I had a few days work to change and modify a bunch of under the hood stuff to support localization. You will not yet see the option to change language as I am now waiting for all the text to be translated. Once I get all the text, I will enable localization in a bunch of languages.

CHANGE - New foundations Snap system. It should now be much easier to snap foundations.
CHANGE - Reworked the build menu to have buttons and not drop down boxes.
CHANGE - Cart can no longer move left to right using the default A and D keys.
CHANGE - Cart turn speed reduced to make movement feel a little more realistic.

BUGFIX - Large Flask was no longer displaying its content info, such as quantity in it.
BUGFIX - Quickly adding a log from the log stand to the sawbench would result in a stuck log on the player.

Hi everyone,

I really do apologize for constant patches. I just hate to not fix bugs that are simple and quick to fix.

BUGFIX - Items left on the ground such as logs when a game is saved and reloaded would disappear.
BUGFIX - The Log Cart can now go upstairs onto second floors. It looks a bit strange to go through the ceiling on the way up but I did not put any collisions on it so that you all can bring it anywhere you want.
BUGFIX - There was sadly another issue with some saves not having all the tech blueprints, I am pretty sure to have fixed all causes but if you feel that a book is missing in your game, please report it in the bugs section of steam and I will help you retrieve them for you.

Thanks again for playing and supporting.

Hi everyone,

Just a few bug fixes.

BUGFIX - Wolves were still not playing their animations correctly and floating around.
BUGFIX - Finally was able to repro a bug where a log would sometimes show as being held but really was not.
BUGFIX - Bug where moving the newly added ingot shelves would make the ingots disappear.

Hi Everyone,

Today's update adds some new content, some bug fixes and some changes. The primary focus was to add an additional step to base building (Planks Required) and to add a few more build options such as roofs.

No restart will be required, see below for the complete list of changes and additions.

Please report any bugs here on steam.

Have a wonderful day.
