Experimental Update 1.31 (New Vehicle | Flamethrower!! | Fixes++)

Today we’ll be releasing the new 1.31 build to our experimental branch. This update address some issues, adds some really cool items and does some background priming for our upcoming builds that will feature some big game changing mechanics.

This is just a quick update for anyone interested in helping the team test out the experimental build before it hits default later this week. If you’re interested follow the steps below to join the branch (you can always go back to default). Please check against changelog below and report any issues found directly to the team via the official Discord.

We will be doing a full length blog and vlog later in the week with the default release of build 1.31!

How to get into experimental branch:

Open Steam and go to your games library.
Right click on STN and select "Properties"
Navigate to the "Betas" tab and select "experimental" in the drop down menu.
Close the properties window.
You will find a single experimental server titled EXPERIMENTAL_SERVER. Join this for some testing.

[h3]The Flamethrower! [/h3]
We’ve really wanted to add some new weapons for a bit now. We’ve really, really wanted to add a flamethrower. Andre has in 1.31 and it’s a whole mess of fun. It accepts propane (propane filling stations coming soon). It sets stuff on fire, it stops zombies dead in their tracks and you can totally use it to light fireworks, stoves, campfires etc.
