Abiotic Factor News

Before I played Abiotic Factor I thought I was completely over survival games. Turns out I was just tired of punching the same trees, crafting the same pickaxes, and digging the same holes I've been digging since Minecraft was new. Abiotic delivers the survival must-haves like crafting, hunger, sleeping, and fighting in a setting this genre has never seen—bands of scientist dorks trapped in an underground facility after a Black Mesa-like disaster. It's co-op survival with a splash of immersive sim and sci-fi intrigue, and it's very good...

[h5][color]Seasons greetings, esteemed colleagues![/color][/h5]

As we wrap up the last few days of 2025, we decided to sneak in one more [color]Peer Review[/color].

It's actually becoming tough to keep these posts within scope because we have so many absolute geniuses at GATE (obviously, that's why you were hired). For these posts we're picking a wide variety of creations but don't worry, we're seeing everything you create and MAN are we amazed! Maybe one day we'll cover them all in a thesis. But for now, some scientific creations!

Greetings, festive scientists,

We’ve released a hotfix that should fix the issue surrounding some languages (e.g. Russian, Chinese, etc.) not working for text inputs, particularly on crafted signs and server passwords.

Please update your game and servers when you get a moment away from scientific study. If you don't receive an update, verify your game files.

Onward to science!

Salutations, our little leaping snow scientists, (editor's note: we've been up for a long time without sleep, okay?)

We’ve released a hotfix that should remove the digital corruption of IS-0083 that was directly responsible for the missing achievement unlock. That's based on real science. Anyway, you should be able to achieve that achievement now.

Please update your game and servers when you get a moment away from scientific study. If you don't receive an update, verify your game files.

Onward to science!

Salutations, our very-visible scientists,

We’ve released a hotfix that should fix the missing invisibility armor that seems to have itself gone missing. And some other stuff.

Please update your game and servers when you get a moment away from scientific study. If you don't receive an update, verify your game files.

[h3]If you are crashing on launch, please disable your mods and remove them from your game folder! If you are still crashing, do a fresh install and verify your files on Steam as there may be hidden mod files. We are not able to fix your broken mods for you![/h3]

• Fixed a major bug with Gamepad Aim Adhesion which would tug on the character’s aiming point more than intended and on dead corpses and in several other instances. This has been tweaked and improved. Please submit feedback if you are using gamepad.
  
• Fixed a bug causing clicking on recipe items to not properly take you to the recipe.
  
• The Crystalline Set has come out of hiding. The recipes were cloaked. They must have been sitting still too long.
  
• Main Menu backgrounds should no longer change or overlap in strange ways. This is a future feature that was misbehaving! Stay tuned.
  
• Fixed Sconce Light using wrong texture filtering.
  

We are still investigating other reports and issues so please keep the science coming. Thanks!

Onward to science!
