Controller gameplay improvements, electrical switches and more (v0.7.2)

Survivors,

a new update is now available.

This update enhances several aspects of playing with controller, making the gameplay smoother and adding features that were previously only accessible with a keyboard, such as moving stacks to a chest or viewing item details within your inventory.

Additionally, you can now find and use electrical switches. This new feature rounds up working with the electricity system and especially with multiple electrical devices. You can place a switch wherever you like and connect it between two wires, giving you greater control over where your power flows and how it’s used!

Update to v0.7.2:
  • New item Electrical Switch
  • New building Electrical Switch
  • New loot locations
  • Controller's D-Pad can now be used to navigate through menus, including the inventory (this allows for faster interaction)
  • Holding the Y key (on a controller) will no longer show the watch when inside the inventory
  • Pressing the Y key (on a controller) will now trigger the item info window inside the regular inventory
  • Pressing the Y key (on a controller) will now transfer whole stacks of items when inside the chest inventory menu
  • New minimum value for life when reloading in a game (so that you will always start with at least this minimum of life and not reload the game die immediately, before having a chance to interact with anything, because the game got saved with very little health left).
  • A fish trap's time counter until it catches something will now be saved and reloaded (a fish trap will catch something eventually, even when only playing in short sessions)
  • Fish traps will now save and reload if they caught something
  • Fixed that controller users could not click on the 'read' button when interacting with a note
  • Fixed that trigger running on a controller would not drain stamina
  • Fixed that breaking a beach torch drops the wrong items
  • Fixed some air tanks (as loot) sticking out of containers
  • Fixed a loot box's location that could be opened, but the items could not be reached
  • Fixed that pressing ESC to go out of the Pause Menu will not work properly


Co-op updates:
  • When near to other players, you will now see their name-tag above their head
  • Fixed that pressing buttons while interacting with the Pause Menu etc. will also trigger player functions (e.g. hitting, jumping or change tool)


Enjoy the adventure!
