Conditions: Accounts that have not logged in to the game for at least 14 days are considered returning accounts, and up to 3 characters from such accounts can take part in the Returnee event. Once triggered, the Returnee event has a 60-day cooldown before it can be triggered again.

The rewards for new and existing characters are different and can be viewed in the game.
III. Optimizations[Combat]
1. Tactical items, defensive installations, and weapons now have a destructiveness parameter that decides how much damage they deal to different buildings.
For example, the Molotov Cocktail has low destructiveness, so it deals high damage to wood buildings, but less damage to stone and concrete buildings. On the other hand, the RPG7 Rocket Launcher has high destructiveness, so it deals full damage to wood and stone buildings and considerable damage to concrete buildings.
2. Recalibrated the material type and durability (used for damage calculation) of some buildings to align them with unlocked Memetics and building types.
[Social and Chat]
1. Added a background to the chat area with a default transparency of 50%. The transparency level can be adjusted in the Chat Settings.
Instructions: Press Enter to open the chat interface, then click the gear icon to open Chat Settings. Then, go to Chat HUD and adjust the Background Transparency setting.
2. Adjusted the layout of the chat interface. The chat channel will now also change when you switch the display channel. You can still press Tab to change the chat channel when on the General channel.
3. Added a Private chat channel where you can view chats with friends. To quickly reply a message, hover your cursor over the player's name and click the reply button.
4. If you leave the chat interface after entering text, the draft will be kept and can be edited again when you return. The draft is deleted when you close the game client.
[New Journey Tasks]
Added the new Journey tasks: Animal Farmer and Architect: Part II.
[Dungeons]
Added Normal and Hard difficulties to The Forsaken Giant dungeon. Pro difficulty has also been adjusted.
Removed the requirement to reach Phase IV before being able to challenge The Forsaken Giant dungeon.
[Vehicle Obstruction and Other Issues]
We have been working on the issue of vehicles blocking passages in the wilderness, and our backend data now shows that the problem has been somewhat mitigated. Many players have also reported that their vehicles were automatically retrieved after being parked in the wilderness. Our investigations have shown that these vehicles were parked in restricted zones (areas where construction is not permitted).
We are also aware of your requests for trade zones in the wilderness and are currently working on a solution. We will update you once the solution is confirmed.
