Howdy survivors!

Over the past few months we have been cooking on some new zombie upgrades and the time has finally come!

Be prepared to see 49 bone-chilling new zombies on the island. Water-logged scooba divers, insane gamer girls, teethless grandmas, and much more will surely scare your socks off.

In addition to all these new zombies, a new feature has been added for combat: PUSH. No more swinging for the fences and praying for the luck of the draw. Now you can strategically push zombies, causing them to briefly stumble so that you can take them down.

We've wanted custom zombie models for years now. We are hyped that it's finally here.

Good luck out there, survivors!

Greetings Survivors!

We've just released a new patch to address critical issues and a sprinkle of some more goodies. Here's what's new:

[h2]Save System Adjustments[/h2]

• Fixed an issue causing some player data to be overwritten for clients connected to servers.
  
• Fixed a bug where players would incorrectly spawn on the coast after loading their save.
  
• Resolved a situation where players became permanently stuck in a rad storm if saving and reloading during the event.
  
• Added additional security on the resource manager save loading to prevent a crash.
  
• Made the load screen window wider on the main menu.
  

[h2]Gameplay Improvements[/h2]

• Admin Menu: Keycards can now be spawned directly from the admin menu (for all the cheaters out there).
  
• Balance Update: Lowered gunpowder requirements across various bullet types, making crafting ammo less resource-intensive.
  
• World Enhancements: Expanded road infrastructure with additional roadside elements, including light poles, guard rails, and more, for a richer exploration experience.
  
• Further improvements and developments on the Cave POI.
  

Thanks for your continued support and feedback. Keep the suggestions coming!

Happy surviving!

Survivors, a major update is here! This release refines and expands upon the v0.4.18 Beta Branch, bringing a rad system rework, upgraded save mechanics, an all-new ambient sound manager, gamemode presets, achievements, and much more! Thank you to those who helped us test out the beta branch! Let’s break it down.

[h2]Key Features & Changes[/h2]

[h3]☢ Rad Rework[/h3]

The radiation system has been revamped! Expect better balancing, new rad-tier mechanics, and a host of new rad-related items to help you survive.

The old radiation system was just percentage-based, where having certain clothing items or accessories equipped would lead to a lower percentage of radiation poisoning. The new system is now tier-based, meaning that different zones will require a greater tier of radiation protection. If you get 100 protection, you have now reached LEGENDARY status and are immune to radiation poisoning. There are a few different routes to achieve 100 rad protection, a little tip… take advantage of your accessory slots!

• New Rad Med Container – Find the new anti-rad meds more in high rad areas.
  
• Spirulina Algae (grows in toxic water areas) – Can now be crafted into:
  - Spirulina Algae Cig
  - Spirulina Algae Tea
  - Spirulina Algae Pills
  

[h3]💾 Save System Upgrades[/h3]

We’re overhauling saves to ensure better stability and functionality:

• Save history tracking (e.g., ABC, ABC_1, ABC_2) – Never lose track of past saves.
  
• Backup saves now listed separately in the Load Menu.
  
• Fixed world container saves – No more lost items due to missing data.
  
• Vehicle saves now preserved when using the save fixer.
  
• UI tweaks for Load Menu integration into Pause & Main Menus.
  

[h3]🎶 Ambient Sound Manager Implemented[/h3]

• A new ambient sound system adds immersive environmental audio that changes based on the time of day.
  

[h3]🎮 Gamemode Presets[/h3]

We’re introducing pre-configured settings for different gameplay styles.

• HardcoreModeSettings
  
• MoreLootSettings
  

[h3]⭐ Achievements Overhaul[/h3]

Implemented 10 achievements!

[h2]🔧 General Fixes & Improvements[/h2]

• Major bunker loot buffs
  
• Fixed containers with incorrect interact names
  
• Fixed Tainted Guzzler issue – Now properly cleans in a campfire or furnace.
  
• Fixed MainLevel collisions
  
• Added missing ladders
  
• Fixed minimap inconsistencies (Thanks to ClusterDuck & others!)
  
• Increased loot across all sources (containers, AI, road warriors, etc.).
  
• RadRX now has 8 uses, visually represented by its pill mesh.
  
• More stones can now be picked up in the environment.
  
• Mouse input in vehicles now respects sensitivity & inverted settings.
  
• Fixed admin teleport bug – You can now teleport across the map (allegedly).
  
• Improved reload animations for shotguns when swapping items.
  
• Quickbind Timer adjustment – Prevents multiple hotkey spamming.
  
• New tooltips added for key items (e.g., keycards now indicate usage locations).
  
• Further developments on the Cave POI
  
• Added keycards to admin spawn list
