1.1 - Optimization, Equipment & Durability Bug Fixes
Greetings, Volunteers!
We’ve cooked up a significantly sized patch, containing improvements & fixes to game’s known issues.
As a result of your feedback on Steam Discussions & our official Discord channel, we’ve been able to pinpoint issues with equipment and items’ durability, along with other problems we’ve been able to settle in this patch. Once again, we would like to thank you for your overwhelming support - 1.0 had quite a number of bug-related issues, but because of you we’ve been able to overcome these issue and, step by step, making sure that DESOLATE is the best experience we can give you.
Improvements & Changes
- Global optimization work done on the whole Granichny island
- Durability re-worked: we’ve added durability settings in the Custom difficulty settings. Also, we’ve increased ranged weapon durability to 25-30%, and melee weaponry by 20-25%. Remember: at any time you can change the durability values in the Custom difficulty.
- Equipment mechanics re-worked: you can now equip/unequip items by pressing RMB on the item’s icon. Items will automatically go into an available slot, and if all slots are full, will replace the first equipped item.
- Sapsy Healing Salve now heals 20% of your total health, and only heals light injuries.
- Owl-M2 now requires an X-workbench and Purple-Tier (Epic) items for crafting.
Fixes
