Miscreated News

A Twitch stream will be starting in about 30 minutes on twitch.tv/miscreated at 5PM Eastern time. The main topic will be some upcoming inventory changes. Please stop by and see what will be new!

• Updated theme/look
  
• Now scales correctly based on the the screen resolution
  
• Damage bar is displayed for items that have health
  
• Tooltip updated with a lot more information - damage amounts, bleed chance, resistances, etc.
  
• Scrollable inventory list
  
• Mouse wheel works to scroll inventory and lists - can also scroll while dragging an icon
  
• Tooltips will no longer go offscreen
  
• Context menus and tooltips windows dynamically adjust their size as needed
  

The game is now aware of the area a player is in and evaluates a shelter value (how much protection you receive from the area from weather)

The following types of areas are detected:
- Insides of houses and bases as well as areas partly inside
- Ocean, rivers and seas you can dive into
- Sewers, caves, cellars and bunkers
- Vehicles

The radstorm is deadly when you are not seeking shelter or have protective items equipped or consumed. Radiation areas are detectable with a Geiger counter or noticeable by a slightly blue glow. Stock up on anti-rad pills, anti-rad mushrooms or potassium-iodine pills before entering known radiation areas. You can check item details and differences in your inventory tooltips by hovering over them. Anti-rad pills, anti-rad mushrooms or potassium-iodine pills help against radiation. The environment protection effects scale with the health of the item, this can be checked in the UI

Other environmental stats on items include:
- Physical (Tornado, Collisions, Fall damage)
- Gas Smoke (Gas Grenades and areas)
- Blindness (Flashbang)
- Fire (Molotov, Fire areas)
- Explosions (Grenades, Exploding vehicles)
- Feet sharp (Punji traps)
- Ray radiations (very little protection against that even with full hazmat gear; only reduced in sheltered areas if the area isn't causing the effect itself)
- Additional to the environmental stats which apply to the player in general, body part protection stats exist which are also be output in the UI.
- For relevant protective types there is differentiation of what is causing it (e.g. ground based, rain based, gas based)
- Future work: Temperature, Acid, Electricity, Wetness/Humidity, Rain, Fire area revamp

Changed behaviour of radiation stats:
- Additional radiation received after 100% gets converted to damage
- Radiation slowly is healed (25% per hour), but only up to 40% of it
- Radiation reduces now up to 25% of your max health until cured
- While over 85% radiation you start to slowly lose health and can't heal until the radiation is cured first

Going underwater in the middle of a radiation storm protects against its negative effects
