The Tribe Must Survive News

Tribe Leaders,

We're excited to share a glimpse at the roadmap for what lies ahead for the Tribe Must Survive. Check out this post to read all about it. If you're more interested in the changelog for today's patch, keep reading here.

The team has made adjustments to the "In-Shock" state to make it less confusing for new players. This means tweaking the Fear values and also making it a Perk so it's easier to find out what is going on when clicking on the affected Tribe Members. We have also adjusted the chance of death by the "Starving" Perk, so tribe members won't perish when the Food Need drops to -3. This should ensure that Tribe Members don't starve anymore while there is Food available, unless they are In-Shock or otherwise blocked from getting to the Granary.


[h3]General[/h3]

• Adjusted chance of death from "Starving" Perk, so Tribe Members cannot perish immediately. Death chance now increases with time until the Perk is removed.
  
• The final Yellow Upgrade now works as intended.
  
• Trade passengers now wait at the Trade Depot, to make Trade Routes more timely and predictable.
  

[h3]Fear & Shock[/h3]

• Adjusted Fear values for when Tribe Members go in and out of shock.
  
• "In-Shock" state is now a Perk, to make it easier to identify.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed a bug where some event popups would not have SFX.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Rock in the bottom menu bar would display the wrong icon after the Eclipse.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Intro-Cutscene did not react to the sound settings.
  
• Fixed a bug where the game froze for a few seconds at the start of Act 5.
  
• Fixed some more bugs that were happening behind the scenes.
  

Hello dear Tribe Leaders,

The Tribe Must Survive has now been available in early access for just over two weeks(!!), and within just a few days we were able to see that several players had already been able to accomplish the incredible feat of keeping their tribe alive for 100 days.

We made an announcement saying we want to recognize and honor these players, and we received several submissions here, via our Discord server and via our email. We've gone through all of the submissions and checked their legitimacy, and we're now ready to reveal what we've worked on;
[h3]The First Survivors Wallpaper[/h3]

We're so grateful for all the support and positive feedback we have received thus far, and we've also read through the negatives and things you would like to see improved. The great thing about being in Early Access is that we have more time to take our tribal management sim to the next level, and we're so grateful to all of you who are joining us on this journey.

Take care, and remember... The Tribe Must Survive!

Hey Tribe Leaders and budding survivors,

It's been a great few days since our Early Access release, and we're really happy to see that several people have already started to lead their tribe to survive through all of the trials from day 1 to 100!

We want to recognize and honor the first group of early pioneers who have successfully braved the long nights and overcame the disasters arrayed against them by including them in a tribute. Have you survived for all 100 days? Well, here's your chance to have that bragging right. Whether you've achieved this milestone, or maybe you're now motivated to try it, this is your time!

To be part of this initiative and have your handle/display name added to the tribute wallpaper we'll create, we would like you to share the high score screen of your 100-day survival, or show us your Steam achievements for "The Tribe Survived". You can submit this to us through one of the following ways:

• Join our Discord and post your screenshot into the #player-highscores channel
  
• Post a response here that you have completed this achievement and let us see your Steam Achievements
  
• Send your screenshots via email to [email protected] with the subject "The Tribe Survived" and let us know your Steam handle along with it
  

The deadline to submit this to us is Thursday 29th February before 15:00 CET / 06:00 Pacific (a week from the Early Access release date) so that we can review your entry and add you to this tribute.

Good luck, everyone!
- The Tribe Must Survive Team
