　　🎤Dev comments🎤
　　💬Currently, major buildings (major bases and facilities) are restricted from being built to
　　prevent monopolization and abuse by some users. However, since we are aware of the
　　inconvenience caused to survivors, we are considering reducing the restricted area,
　　and will reflect some in the next update.

[h3]🔍 Content being fixed or being prepared 🔍[/h3]
🧪 Abnormal movement/behavior of some animal NPCs
　　🎤Dev Comments🎤
　　💬We are constantly checking movement/attack patterns for NPCs.
　　We will quickly identify the cause of the issue and notify you.

🧪 Improving loading speed.
　　🎤Dev Comments🎤
　　💬We are continuously working on optimization and related issues to reduce the time
　　necessary to load servers and run game.

🧪 Difficulty level problem for field boss juggernaut
　　🎤Dev Comments🎤
　　💬We are working on the problem that it was too easy to target by advantaging some terrain,
　　and Juggernaut will be back to survivors with an improvement.

🧪 Considering providing a skill reset method
　　🎤Dev Comments🎤
　　💬We sympathize with the need for skill reset, and we are thinking about how we would
　　apply it on Dysterra. For example, we are reviewing a way to reset skills by acquiring items
　　through crafting or Facility raids.

🧪 Scheduled to modify the UI of storage box use around the character to be more intuitive

🧪 Fixed an issue where the character could not aim below fully

🧪 Fixed an issue where the hotkey worked when using the search function on a workbench, etc.

🧪 Issues with installations being installed improperly
　　🎤Dev comments🎤
　　💬We are considering improvements for issues such as not being able to place items
　　like a workbench very close to the walls or automatically aligning depending on the direction
　　the character is standing.

🧪 Changing existing settings for Single Player mode
　　🎤Dev comments🎤
　　💬We are considering a modification function for survivors who must have been frustrated
　　because it was impossible to change the settings in the middle of Single Player mode.
　　You can change the Single Player mode settings by modifying the contents of the file located
　　in the folder below.
　　- Folder location: >\Dysterra\Dysterra\WorldSettings\SinglePlay.json

🧪 Planned improvements to the long crafting time of forges
　　🎤Dev comments🎤
　　💬The existing balance was set to encourage the forges to operate automatically while
　　the player explores the world and loots major bases and facilities,
　　but we are considering introducing the ‘Forge Upgrade System’ as quickly as possible
　　to incorporate opinions from players.
　　We will be back soon with better and hopefully more intuitive forges.

Greetings from Orbis!

I’m happy to announce Dysterra’s first seasonal update! We’re aiming for a release sometime mid-next week. Let us know what you think in the Discord.
[h2]Decorate your base![/h2]


With this update, you’ll be able to craft Christmas trees and install them in and around your base.

[h2]Craft useful wintertime snacks![/h2]


We’ve also got some holiday themed snacks for your character to enjoy!

The menu for this holiday season is:
Holiday Cookies
Christmas Turkey
Holiday Pudding

You can craft them with Holiday Fiber Meal Kits and Holiday Protein Meal Kits that you can now find around the map. I don’t want to spoil the fun, so you can have fun finding where they are.

One of the above foods will fill you up more than any other food in the game, another will alleviate fracture, bleeding, and radiation status effects all at the same time, and one of the above foods will reduce your system overload cooling time after a hacking failure.

We hope you enjoy our first seasonal update, and we’re looking forward to making bigger additions to the game in the future.

P.S. These items are only available during the holiday season, so enjoy them while you can!

Greetings from Orbis!

I hope you all have been enjoying the changes we made in our last patch! Many of the major bugs have been ironed out over the past two weeks, and now we’re focused on optimizing gameplay systems and improving overall player experience. We’re still watching the channels in our Discord Server, so you’re welcome to leave feedback whenever you feel like sharing.

This week we have updates to enemy AI, facility skills, ranking points, balancing, and we’re finally opening the hardcore servers you’ve all been asking for.

🔗Link to Dec 7th Update Details🔗

[h2]AI Improvements for NPCs[/h2]

We’re working hard on the AI in Dysterra, and we’ll be making incremental updates as we go. This week we made the AI more realistic by updating how mobs detect their surroundings. They’re more sensitive to nearby sounds, so they’re now more likely to hear someone walking nearby, or react to gunshots from a greater distance.

They’re also a lot more persistent. So now they shouldn't randomly turn around and return to their original spot. They’ll keep running after you as long as they can see you.

We’re hoping these changes will increase the overall tension in the game.

[h2]Facility Skills : World Span Changes[/h2]

Unlike other games that wipe their servers every x days, Dysterra let’s survivors control when (or if) a wipe happens. By using the controllers you get when conquering a facility, you’ll be able to lengthen or shorten the lifespan of your server.

We looked at the difficulty of each facility, and adjusted the values according to how many people conquered each facility, and how much each controller was used to increase or decrease the number of days left till wipe. You can press ‘K’ during gameplay to access the facility menu and learn more.

Please note: each server has a maximum lifespan, and the server life cannot be increased past that value.

We are also aware that survivors are interested in a variety of server lifespans, and we’re planning to comment on that at a later date.

[h2]Ranking point changes when escaping the world[/h2]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
When a server is ready to wipe (see facility skills section above), players can get on a rocket to escape and earn extra points to improve their global ranking.

Originally you would only receive a set amount of points for getting on the rocket, but now you’ll get a different amount depending on how long you survived in the world. The longer you survived, the more points you’ll get!

[h2]New Hardcore Servers[/h2]

The hardcore servers you’ve all been waiting for are finally coming!! PvP in Dysterra has never been this thrilling! Be prepared to drop EVERYTHING when you die.

Hardcore servers aren’t for the faint of heart:
- No safety slots! You drop all of your items when you die.
- You start with only the bare essential items.

Everything else is exactly the same.

[h2]Balance Changes[/h2]
On a side note, we added the “fracture” status effect to a number of enemies. “Fracture” reduces your speed temporarily.

We also increased the attack power for a number of enemies. I think it’ll be more fun if I don’t tell you which ones.

I look forward to seeing you all on the servers!
- Director K
