• When a player overconsumes food/drink it can cause involuntarily loss of stomach contents. (40% of food/drink lost)
  
• Vomiting can also be caused in a less potent way by sickness, poison, dizziness or radiation sickness - in this case only a fourth of the food/drink is lost
  
• After vomiting the player feels slightly better if he was dizzy before
  

• If the combination of the difference of air to exhaled air temperature and air humidity is high enough then the players breath becomes visible
  
• The breath frequency is based on the stamina strain on the character and works in combination with the hold breath actions
  
• The breath visibility duration depends on the how fast the exhaled humidity can be absorbed in the air
  

• A player gets wet by going underwater, being in the rain or high humidity
  
• When a player gets wet enough water begins dripping to the ground for a certain period until the player is dry enough again
  
• Wet players have a medium protection against heat and fire, but are more susceptible to cold
  

• Support for skinning/painting vehicles has been added to the game
  
• As you drive the pickup truck, base sedan, or semi there is a random chance you will be awarded a new skin for the vehicle you are driving
  
• Skins for additional vehicles will be added in future updates
  
• All the current skins are just solid color variants
  
• Vehicle skins can be sold and traded via Steam inventory
  
• A new vehicle paint shop has been added to the map - vehicles must be taken there to be skinned
  
• A vehicle kiosk is located in the building that will show you all the vehicle skins you have
  It costs amcoins to paint/skin a vehicle - the cost of skins will eventually vary based on the skin
  
• Skins on a vehicle will persist through server restarts
  

• Repair kits have been added to the game and will allow you to now repair most weapons
  
• The health of the repair kits determines how much it will repair a weapon - a 15% health kit will repair its corresponding weapon by 15%
  
• You can combine health kits together - a 15% and a 30% will become a 45% kit - anything over 100 will be lost
  
• A weapon can be broken down into a repair kit for that weapon - the health of the weapon determines the health of the resulting repair kit
  
• You repair a weapon, or combine repair kits, by dragging and dropping them in the UI - the background of an applicable item will turn blue
  

• All weapons now spawn with a random amount of health
  
• They will need to be repaired to 100% in order to be stored in a kiosk
  In this update the health of an item does NOT affect its performance, but it will in the next update
  
• When a player takes damage any clothing that has a health value in the area that was hit will be damaged
  
• For example, a player gets shot in the chest and it's possible both the jacket and shirt will be damaged
  
• Only a small amount of clothing has a health value and can currently be damaged, but all clothing will have a health value in the next update
  

• Fixes for water spawning issue
  
• Fixes for some stuck server issues
  
• Fixes for kicking players when moving fast - driving vehicles

• Current weather pattern is now output as part of the server status command
  
• Slight network optimization by excluding certain objects server-side
  
• Slight network optimization in the initialization of storage, dryfire, ladder
  
• Slight server performance optimization by excluding weather audio, visuals and client only objects on servers
  
• When using the context menu to craft an item the resulting item will be dropped on the ground if you don't have room in your inventory
  
• Resulting crafted items that drop to the ground now have their orientation randomized to help eliminate perfectly stacking objects on the ground
  
• Items restored from a kiosk will always have the correct stack size and health
  
• Inventory opens faster the very first time you open it
  
• Fixed "Unknown" player bug in area chat
  

• Drivable semi truck added
  
• When a pickup truck, base sedan, or semi spawns it will appear with a random paint color

• Mutants can now alert other nearby mutants
  
• Mutants can now slightly evade if you are aiming at them - how often and how much depends on the mutant type

• Support for applying a skin to an item has been added to the game
  
• The Amalgamated kiosks now have a new tab named "Skins" that will show you all the skins you currently have
  
• While using a kiosk you can right-click on any item in your inventory which you have a custom skin for and select the "Apply Skin" option

• Attempting to use these types of programs will not result in a game ban, but they will no longer alter the game

• Several kiosks have been placed around the map in Amalgamated branded buildings
  
• Kiosks will allow players to store and retrieve items to/from their Steam inventory for the game
  
• To store and retrieve items it will cost amCoins - a new in-game currency which can only be found or looted as you play the game
  
• amCoins are like any other item you find and carry on your player, and can be looted from your corpse
  
• amCoins, and a few other specific items, cannot be stored in a kiosk
  
• The amCoin cost will vary depending on the item - weapons are more expensive to store and retrieve than rags, for example
  
• You may use the kiosk system to transfer items between servers - store them on one server, then retrieve them on another
  
• Only crafting guides and a few cosmetic items can be sold or traded on Steam - all other items cannot be sold/traded and are for your use only
  
• If an item is stackable, only a full stack can be stored in a kiosk - stack size is displayed in Steam
  
• Damaged items cannot be stored (you will be able to repair items in a future update)
  
• Only empty magazines can be stored in a kiosk - unload the ammunition first, then store the magazine and ammo separately
  
• There is a base building part kiosk that spawns in the world and can be dragged back to your base using some vehicles so the kiosk can be used there
  
• A kiosk placed in a base can only be used by clan members of the base it is in
  
• Only you can see your items stored in a kiosk, and multiple people can use a kiosk at the same time
  
• Items stored in a kiosk cannot be looted by other players
