Update 23 - Fixes, Balance & New Support Abilities

Hi there

I've released a small update to address some feedback since the launch. I've receive a ton of feedback, with some people drawing attention to bugs and common pain points. Thanks for this support!

[h2]New Support Ability: Focus[/h2]

Listen closely and try to locate any potential nearby threats. When a survivor does this, the approximate locations of threats will be revealed in a short radius.

• This is useful for approaching areas with limited visibility.
  
• Focus costs 1 ability token and is available in low tier workshops, so it is a very accessible ability.
  
• The 'scavenger' preset survivor starts the game with this ability.
  

[h2]New Support Ability: Prepare[/h2]

Ends the survivor's turn. One action point is spent preparing. After that, any remaining action points will be transferred to the next turn.

• Useful for tactically distributing your actions - there are often situations where you can wait a turn but will require more action points the next turn.
  
• Prepare costs 2 ability tokens and is available in medium tier workshops.
  

[h2]Remaining Patch Notes[/h2]

• [Balance] Study durations in the Library are now fixed at 12 turns [14]. They no longer increase for subsequent library sessions, whereas previously they got longer for each time the survivor studied.
  
• [Bug] Fixed a bug which would prevent a save loading during the World Storm.
  
• [Bug] Fixed a bug where the auto-repair shop would be inaccessible because the barricade could not be reached.
  
• [Bug] Fixed a bug where the scavenging abilities in the ability tree showed information for communicator abilities.
  
• [Balance] Abilities token costs reduced for most expensive abilities. This is to encourage more class hybridisation.
  
  • Marksman - Ability Token Cost [3]
    
  • Overkill - Ability Token Cost [2]
    
  • Overkill - Action Point Cost [2]
    
  • Sweeper - Ability Token Cost [2]

  • Faster Healing - Ability Token Cost [3]
    
  • Advanced Leadership - Ability Token Cost [3]
    
  • Communicator - Action Point Cost [2]
• [Balance] Buffed the Armour Shredding ammo payload
  
  • Increased the armour shredding effect [70%]
    
  • Increased the damage dealt to unarmoured zombies [85%]
