As some of you paying a close attention to our development process are aware, we are currently in the process of working on our long awaited inventory rework. There is a lot to be done and we want to make sure that we have it all nice and neat for when it releases. So our question to you, our dear Scummunity, is what new things or changes would you like to see once the inventory rework drops. Go nuts with the suggestions from the small things to the big requests, all will be taken into consideration.

Do please keep it respectful, concise and constructive.

Thank you all and till next time.

SCUM Team.

• Setting_EncounterGlobalZoneCooldownMultiplier
  After the encounter ends it starts global cooldown until the the new encounter can appear in that zone. If it happens in the MTZ encounter and cooldown is set, that cooldown is not influencing HTZ and LTZ. This multiplier is added to based number.
  
  In most cases base values are like this:
  
  
  • HTZ - 300.00 - 600.00
    
  • MTZ - 0.00 - 0.00
    
  • LTZ - 0.00 - 0.00
    

As is tradition, make sure you have Christmas tree up in your base or else Santa will not come along to leave presents.
