　　🎤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]
🧪 Fixed an issue where NPCs react even when a Silencer is attached to a gun

🧪 Planned to move location of Terrafire eruption countdown information box

🧪 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.

🧪 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.

Holiday greetings from Orbis!

We’ve got some more Christmas themed skins for you this week, as well as quite a few quality of life improvements. Keep on reading to learn more about how to use the Christmas chest skins, sorting options for the chest viewer, balancing changes to radiation (you’ll like these!), and bigger stack sizes to medical shots.

[h2]📒 More Christmas Cheer[/h2]

In addition to Christmas trees and holiday snacks, you now have the option to store your hard earned items in a holiday-themed chest. You can apply the christmas skin when crafting your chests, or you can right-click a chest when it’s in your inventory and use the “equip skins” option.

[h2]📒 Nearby Chest Viewer - Sorting[/h2]
Our nearby chest viewer has really helped alleviate the stress of rummaging through chest after chest to find(or not find!) what you’re looking for. We’re updating the viewer to allow users to sort their chests in alphabetical order(and reverse alphabetical order), as well as in order of chest tier (ascending or descending).

Don’t forget that you can click and drag items between chests!

[h2]📒 Radiation Balancing[/h2]
Constantly having to use anti-radiation shots breaks up the flow of the game, so we’re hoping this patch will make areas with radiation a bit more enjoyable.

We’ve lowered the amount of radiation exposure in many areas to reflect their difficulty. (For those that weren’t aware, different areas have different strengths of radiation.)

At the same time, we’ve added “radiation resistance.”
Before, your radiation level would go to zero after using an anti-radiation shot, and then immediately start going up again. Now, radiation resistance is basically a negative radiation value that allows you to not take any radiation damage for a short while.

If your radiation level is 25, and you use a level 1 anti-radiation shot(-100), you’ll have a “radiation resistance” value of 75.
Once it reaches zero, you’ll start taking damage again, so be careful.

[h2]📒 Larger Stack Sizes for Medical Shots[/h2]

Level 3 medical shots are so powerful that we originally thought it best to keep their max stack size low. But that ended up just making players use lower level medical shots that allowed larger stack sizes.

We’ve doubled the stack sizes for level 2 medical shots(from 10 to 20), and more than tripled the stacks for level 3 shots(from 3 to 10).

[h2]📒 A change to building rules[/h2]

From this patch, anything you build that is not inside your building core’s range will be accessible by anyone after 10 minutes. So remember to place a building core nearby if you don’t want other players demolishing whatever it is you’re making.


For all of you who’ve been asking for a roadmap, I’ll be posting it soon.

See you on the servers!
