☵ HIRAETH EA 0.9.8.19 🏆 Fresh Achievements 🍲 Food Poisoning 🚶‍♂️ Faster Move

Welcome, survivors!
[p]I invite you to take a look at the changes in this new update. Alongside plenty of interesting tweaks and fixes, a major new feature has arrived: the Food Poisoning System. While there are already many improvements, the truly big changes are just around the corner![/p][p][/p][h2]🍲 Food Poisoning System Added[/h2][p]An important change. Many players have complained about the excess of food; now, even though the overall amount on Nesoi Island remains the same, truly safe food is much more limited. Recovering and managing spoiled supplies will soon become a vital part of gameplay.[/p]
  • [p]Fresh food never causes food poisoning.[/p]
  • [p]Eating spoiled food, however, carries a chance of infection — the more spoiled it is, the higher the risk. [/p]
  • [p]The probability depends on difficulty level: currently only Drifter is available, but once difficulty selection is introduced, Wayfarer (easy) will have little to no risk (still under consideration), while higher difficulties will increase the chance. [/p]
  • [p]The Survivalist skill level reduces the likelihood, but never eliminates it entirely. [/p]
  • [p]Food poisoning is sporadic, but meaning it may occur even on the very first bite of suspicious food.[/p]
  • [p]Symptoms are currently without special visual effects, though infection can be heard. [/p]
  • [p]Untreated poisoning progresses very slowly over many hours. Once it reaches a certain threshold, it causes pain and reduces overall health, which also impacts stamina. It also leads to dehydration and increased hunger — currently minimal, with final values to be adjusted after testing and difficulty balancing.[/p]
[p]Treatment is possible with Gutshield Tablets, which can be found in the world. You start with one pack in your pockets, and later you can craft additional tablets once you discover the blueprint. At present, treatment is fast and always effective, nearly instantaneous.[/p][p]
* You may find the tablets on Nesoi Island, but you should probably rely on them being made yourself.[/p][p][/p][h2]🏆 Steam Achievements Fixed[/h2][p]Steam achievements should now function correctly. This is especially important for the latest ones, such as Such a Perfect Week!, but also applies to both new and earlier achievements. We encourage you to catch up on any missed progress, as more achievements will be added soon with the introduction of difficulty levels.[/p][p]Please note that for the demo, no new achievements beyond the current set are planned.[/p][p][/p][p]Update: According to my Steam test with this update, some achievements have unlocked, some still need to be changed (probably after the engine change). I'm checking which ones work and will fix the rest soon.[/p][h3]Reminder:[/h3][p]Steam achievements only work on Nesoi Island - they are disabled on the Training Center and Space Test (some may work there).[/p][p][/p][h2]🚶‍♂️ Increased Movement Speed[/h2][p]Movement speed has been improved. This is an ongoing development, as many factors will change once difficulty levels are introduced. For now, you will generally move faster across the world.[/p][p][/p][h2]🛡️ Visual Armor Fixes[/h2]
  • [p]Removed conflict when equipping a helmet after finding another.[/p]
  • [p]Eliminated the possibility of equipping a second helmet or Neck Guard.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed the “visual unequip” issue when removing from inventory an identical armor piece that was not equipped. [/p]
[p]This fix requires broader testing — it works correctly on my side, but needs confirmation.[/p][p][/p][h2]🔧 Other Changes[/h2]
  • [p]Restored increase of MAX LIFT along with overall level progression.[/p]
  • [p]Nature food now requires one in‑game week to fully spoil.[/p]
  • [p]Scrapping screen updated — proper buttons and hints now aligned with other similar screens.[/p]
  • [p]Royalty Recycler[/p]
    • [p]Improved interaction, removal of the freezing widget.[/p]
    • [p]Capacity increased from 10 kg to 51 kg.[/p]
    • [p]Soon to become a highly desirable device…[/p]
  • [p]Repairing minigame: Rescan via assigned key (default E) now works correctly.[/p]
  • [p]Nesoi Island: some misplaced chests should now return to Mr Gilz’s place and Lisanne.[/p]
  • [p]Many other minor fixes and adjustments not listed here.[/p]
[h2] 📜 Final Note[/h2][p]I invite you to catch up on your Steam achievements and wish you success in finding fresh food! A major update is coming soon — possibly preceded by regular smaller ones — and certainly accompanied by the next edition of Ahra Prime Times.[/p][p]
Survive!
