3.22.16.0 Update Notes

  • Camera shake from nearby explosions.
  • Command-line "-FallbackGizmos" option to use 3D line renderers instead.
  • InventoryAudio option for drag/drop item sounds.
  • Procedurally_Animate_Inertia bool option for equipable items.

  • Increased default text field length from 16 to 100.
  • Reduced bullet casing bounce volume.
  • Separated water surface visibility in editor from volume visibility option.
  • Animal damage considers player armor.
  • Include workshop file name in asset mismatch kick message if different.

  • Using fertilizer on fully-grown crops.
  • Washington note showing empty line of text.
Recoil Changes:


The skill ceiling of first-person aiming has been raised by adding secondary recoil away from the center of the screen. Holographic sights and tactical lasers are the best indicator for this because they always point exactly where the shot will go. i.e., if the gun has zero spread and the laser has recoiled above the crosshair then the bullet will hit exactly where the laser marks. Third-person recoil and spread have been doubled to encourage the use of first-person aiming.

3.22.15.0 Update Notes

Changelog:


Added:
  • Ability to slightly raise/lower floor placement using mouse scroll wheel.
  • Cartography editor volume to mark chart/GPS area for non-square maps.
  • Sphere shape option for most editor volume types.
  • Newer volume editor equivalents for older volume-style editor nodes.
  • Support for multiple teleporter exits per entrance in which case a random exit is chosen.
  • Visibility button to volume type buttons in volumes editor.
  • WearAudio option for clothing items.
  • PlacementPreviewPrefab option for barricades and structures.

Changed:
  • Client adjusts ID-to-asset lookup per-server to reduce multiplayer asset conflict issues.
  • Pillars can be rotated in 30 degree increments, and hold shift to rotate counter-clockwise.
  • Only screenshots without HUD visible are used on the loading screen.
  • Pick axe and jackhammer can damage regular objects and trees.
  • Minor engine patch update from 36f1 to 38f1.

  • Loading screen music not playing while in server queue.

Multiplayer Workshop File Order:


In multiplayer the client now rebuilds the list of known assets according to the workshop file order specified by the server. This fixes a variety of issues like crafting recipes from mods not available on the server showing as crafting options, and ensures that mods which override each other are applied in the same order for all players.

Changelog:


Added:
  • Walls and pillars can be snapped above and below existing walls.
  • "The Bridge Where It Rains" music by staswalle on Washington loading screen.
  • Screenshot resolution multiplier and supersampling option. For example supersampling with a 4x multiplier at 1920x1080 will produce a 15360x8640 screenshot downsampled to 7680x4320.*
  • New editor for "devkit" volumes in the regular level editor.
  • Box move (double-press Q) and box resize (double-press R) transform tool modes.

  • Is_Full_Moon NPC condition.
Changed:
  • Roofs no longer require pillars for placement.

  • Hide item action if quest conditions are not met.
  • Clip.prefab is no longer necessary for trees and objects.
  • Barrels can override muzzle flash position with "Muzzle" transform.
  • Destructible objects can use tree blade ID.
  • Tweaked the placement of blue trash bags at the Seattle construction site dumpster to reduce clipping and make them easier to safely land on.
  • Adjusted chart colors of all vanilla maps, as well as how PEI boulders, Washington boulders, and Russia quest lasers appear on charts.
  • Updated icons, preview images, loading screens, charts, and satellite views of all vanilla maps.
  • Unified barricade/structure editor, regular objects editor, and volumes editor transform handles.
  • Game now handles Steam overlay screenshot requests.

  • Potential problem with per-level version kick, log when unable to parse version.
  • Housing ramp blocking pillar and wall placement two floors below.
  • Holiday items visible in stylized chart capture.
  • Effect spawn position when forageable bushes are destroyed.
  • Roads that should have been curved on Germany.
  • Spot where the road was partially covered by the terrain on Germany.
  • All of the road guardrails on the Germany map to face inwards rather than outwards.

Downward Building:




Houses can finally be extended downward! This is especially useful for bridging gaps like roads and rivers, or repairing foundations after a raid.

Volumes Editor:




All of the "devkit" volumes have been moved into the regular editor, and are easier to shape with the new box move and box resize tools. Subsequent updates will convert older volume types like safezones to this tool, and add other shapes like spheres.

The Bridge Where It Rains:


Washington is the second map to receive theme music by staswalle! You can hear it on the loading screen, boombox item, or his YouTube channel here:

Notes:


Special thanks to Tyler "MoltonMontro" for the map and icon tweaks and fixes!

Playtime item drops have been disabled, but may return for special events like map releases. It was not very exciting to receive the older items, and I want to eliminate any item drop farming if it exists.

This will be the final version with 32-bit Windows support. According to the Steam hardware survey 32-bit Windows is approximately 0.22% of players.

*Current supersampling implementation is a mediocre placeholder until I add supersampling as an in-game anti-aliasing option. It will be faster once that is taken care of.

Fixed:
  • All weapons being treated as having bladeID 0.
  • Preserve old scale pivot snapping behavior.
  • Kill volumes not killing.


Patch #2:


Added:
  • Option to disable custom screenshots on loading screen.
Fixed:
  • Kuwait achievement names in item descriptions.
