The Infected News

Hi everyone,

Just a small update to specifically address the issue of players no longer able to load their files. A couple of other things were also done so I included them too.

FIXED - Some player save game files would not load any longer. The issue was the cut down logs in the way of newly spawned trees. It was a collision issue that is now resolved and your files should load normally.
FIXED - Mike had an issue with repairs if the object he was trying to repair was moved by the player before he reached it. This was causing Mike to be idle and broken.
ADDED - New AI setting "Multiple Boss Attacks" Toggling this option to disabled will result in players no longer getting attacked by potentially 2 minibosses and more minions.

Hey folks!

We just wanted to give a heads up on the V14B content - the new map, the new AI, etc- and some shifts that will occur on Friday the 28th.

If anything changes between now and Friday, we will detail the change in the Friday post.


The V14 content (new map, new AI, etc) will go live on the main/live branch for the game.
Your V13 save WILL NOT work on this content.
Your V14B save is planned to work on this content.

The plan is to open a V13 branch for players to play their V13 saves.
This branch will receive no support, no bugfixes, no new content or changes.
It's simply there for folks that want to remain in the old map with the current iteration of the UI.

The beta branch/public test branch will remain up for a short while longer.

Hi everyone,

A few changes, fixes and balancing.

FIXED - Could no longer get water or wash hands in cave water.
FIXED - Some foliage and trees clipping roads.
FIXED - Gates and door ghosts would block AI as if they were built, causing the AI to behave strangely.

CHANGED - Mineral extractors to allow ore type extraction but at double the extraction time. (from 5 mins to 10 mins)
CHANGED - Metal tip spikes HP reduced from 500 to 350.
CHANGED - Barbed Wire HP reduced from 750 to 500.
CHANGED - Noise/Light meter attacks start only after day 3.
CHANGED - After day 20, chance of 2 mini bosses and between 4 and 6 minions per attack.
CHANGED - Circular Sawbench noise meter value increased from 0.10 to 0.15.
CHANGED - AI attacks from noise/light meters will despawn after player death. Previously they would only despawn after 3 to 5 deaths causing a small death loop.
CHANGED - Armor will degrade slower. Previously each attack would damage armor by 2. Now, they will be damaged by 1 except for the body armor that will be damaged by 0.5.

ADDED - Mike can now replenish your stone crates, provided that there is boulders he can mine within a large radius of 25k unreal units away from his house.
ADDED - Small Ration... 1 x mushroom, egg, raw chicken and melon. Crafted on the food prep table.

Hi everyone,

While this patch brings a short list of general fixes & changes, the change worth highlighting is the update to the current map.

This updated map version has adjusted landscape material and a new roadway cutting between the cliffs on the northeast side. It was necessary to respawn all the ground clutter, meaning trees and rocks are respawned and may clip through your bases until the player removes them.

Your V14 saves files should load with everything safe/intact, unless your structure(s) is in a spot modified by the new road passage.
______


FIXED - Placing mineral extractor on water in caves would result in iron drops.
FIXED - Putting out the Jack O Lantern with flask would turn the dirty water clean.
FIXED - Animals and AI walking at the bottom of water.
FIXED - Right mouse button pressed when looking at dead AI would cause cursor to be active as if a UI was open.
FIXED - Mike would stay idle if did not have any room in his chest to deposit collected food.
FIXED - Animals could open gates and doors.
FIXED - Issues where if a player crosses an AI campfire while exploring, these AI would sometimes go destroy player bases instead of attacking the player.
CHANGE - New map image to reflect the map changes.

Hi everyone,

A few more fixes and changes.

FIXED - Could not delete ghost NPC House.
FIXED - Arrows and bolts would show the harvest widget to delete arrows but that should not have been visible as I do not allow for arrows to be deleted. To discard those, players would need the garbage container.
FIXED - Issue where Mike would loop trying to gather logs.
FIXED - Spear collisions adjusted, they would sometimes be floating in the air.
CHANGE - Move the sign post construction into the build/other filter next to the Land Claim pole to try and avoid confusion. Some players were building the Sign Post by mistake and wondering why they can't place objects.
