Nomad 1.8b Released

Hello Survivors!

Not quite the big update you probably hoped for. This is because I've been working on Nyran Survivors. However, an update is still an update!

I have removed the southern safe zone because it was splitting up players. I want the safe zone to be a busy hub for players. However one problem with having one safe zone was people spawn camping just outside the "safe area", killing people who walked outside. That's why two safe zones were made. But now, there is a new NPC called a Camper Driver that will teleport you to a bunch of different locations straight from the Safe Zone. No more death from safe zone campers.

Servers have not been wiped.

Camper Driver

The Camper Driver will teleport you to locations around the map. Some locations are locked behind items. For example, if you have a Pinewood Charm item in your inventory, you can teleport to Pinewood City. These items can be found throughout the world.

Machine Balance

Machines have been rebalanced and Fuel also now costs 3 Oil Bottles.

Hydroponics Station

Hydroponics Station will now grant the farming achievement.

Winter Is Here

The Nomad Christmas tree and Safe Zone fireworks have been enabled. All players will start a special present and depending if you are premium or not, a full Elf or Santa suit. Happy Holidays!

Nomad 1.7b Hotfix

Hello Survivors!

1.7 has so far been a success however it did launch with a few issues. Hotfixes have been rolling out, trying to squish as many bugs as we go.

Some things had to change as it was causing too much server lag. Hydroponics Stations no longer need a nearby Water Barrel for a water supply. Instead now you directly put Water Bottles inside of the station.

Fuel Tables will no longer automatically fill up nearby Generators. The crafting materials have been reduced to reflect the change. This was simply causing too much lag on populated servers.

Nomad Celebration holiday has ended. Thanks to everyone who showed up and watched the fireworks.

Below is the complete merged changelog from 1.7.0b upwards.
