A30 Experimental Patch #2

=== CryoFall v0.30.3.4 (A30 Experimental Patch #2) ===

If you have not tried the experimental version yet, please consider joining one of the experimental servers and help us improve the game!

Patch notes:

Exotic weapons changes:
- Exotic weapons no longer require plastic to craft, instead they require toxin (for Toxin proliferator) and slime (for Swarm launcher).
- Swarm launcher is more durable now.
- Toxin proliferator now has a higher range (essentially becoming a sniper rifle) and adds a higher toxin effect. So it should be a good alternative support-weapon in PvP.

Changes:
- Negative stat modifiers will appear in red in status effect tooltips and character origin selection.
- Food/water consumption speed renamed to Hunger/Thirst rate to make it clear that these are debuffs.
- PvP: new raiding notifications for ally bases, including bases of your faction's members that didn't transfer their bases to faction ownership. Map marks are also added.
- Rebalanced frag grenade—it now has a more reasonable radius and slightly higher damage, so it should be more useful in fights now.
- Metal armor recipe was simplified to use steel instead of iron and flux.
- Added mutants to all ruins to make a monster selection there more varied.
- Increased (x2) the number of input and output slots for the water pump and cistern.
- Increased barrel and cistern speed when adding/removing liquids.
- Added blue outline for a construction site when the mouse cursor is over.
- Added green outline when selecting a structure for relocation.
- Reworked door access editor to make option "opens to everyone" separate from other options (for both faction-controlled and regular doors).
- Increased deconstruction speed with a crowbar.
- Adjusted icon plate positions for crates, armored safe, fridges, and freezer to make them visible when placed behind the walls.

Fixes:
- Fixed emoji selection.

A30 Experimental Patch #1

=== CryoFall v0.30.2.1 (A30 Experimental Patch #1) ===

We're happy to announce that the first patch to the experimental A30 version is out!
If you have not tried the experimental version yet, please consider joining one of the experimental servers and help us improve the game.

Patch notes:

Changes:
- Industrial drones: drones will temporarily reserve their previously occupied slots so you will never drop returning drones due to lack of free space in the inventory and hotbar.
- Boss event start delay: 20 minutes boss spawn timer on PvE servers, no delay on PvP servers.
- Adjusted the crafting recipe requirements of solar panels.
- Reduced the lifetime duration of the reactor fuel rod.
- Increased pragmium reactor psi emission.
- Decreased unrefined keinite drop from black beetle and burrower.
- Base lights auto active time changed (now from 20:00 to 7:00).
- PvP: Click on newbie protection notification will open the Social menu.
- Updated art for cliffs (both types), cliff render mask, road slopes (up and down).
- Crafting: Now you don't need to remove equipped items if they need to be used for crafting (e.g. braided helmet with oil lamp recipe).

Fixes:
- Chat was not closed when clicking on the menu buttons/hotbar/other UI elements.
- The respawn UI input was blocked if the chat was opened during the character's death.
- Dropped drone will provide a "dropped items" map mark and notification (though you're unlikely to see it now unless you manually remove the reserved slots for returning drones and you have no space in the inventory).
- Biomaterial collector: When there is not enough space in the inventory, a full biomaterial vial will drop on the ground and a notification will be shown.
- Learning skill was progressing incorrectly fast on servers with high LP rates (like the A30 experimental servers).
- "Use oil lamp" quest task was not finishing immediately on lamp use. This task will be also satisfied when using a lamp installed into the braided helmet.

A30 Experimental launch date and PvP servers wipe announcement

[h2]A30 Experimental launch[/h2]
Two A30 Experimental servers are launching this Friday (March 19th) at 1 PM by GMT/UTC time. You can expect new content and plenty of great improvements (for more details see the #upcoming-features in our Discord).
This time, the experimental servers will have much higher rates (such as resource gathering and LP/XP rates) than usual to help us test the new end-game content such as pragmium power plant and exotic weapons.
If you want to help us testing the update before it goes live, please consider joining the experimental servers!

[h2]A29 Official PvP servers wipe[/h2]
We would like to remind you that all the Official PvP servers have a scheduled wipe this Friday (March 19th, wiping every 4 weeks).

Wipe time: 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).
For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:
• 8 AM by Central US (CDT, GMT-5 summer time)
• 2 PM by Central EU (CET, GMT+1 winter time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3)
• 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (GMT+9)

[h3]Official PvP servers setting changes[/h3]
With this wipe, there will be the following changes:
• Global Clan Wars server will have a lower limit on private faction size—20 players max. Please note: other official PvP servers already have a limit of 10 players for private factions.
• PvP damage multiplier restored (how it was in A28 version) to x0.5 instead of x0.4. In A30 version, lower PvP damage resulted in harder-to-win fights when you're outnumbered (as your opponents have more time to regroup and heal) and also more grind to craft ammo.

[h3]Winners on Official Global Clan Wars server[/h3]

As the current wipe cycle on Global Clan Wars draws to an end we can now announce first-ever winners on this server in the faction leaderboard!
  1. [RECT] — 8284
  2. [MECH] — 2154
  3. [XIII] — 1446
  4. [NATO] — 1262
  5. [PN] — 1216
[h2]CryoSmall wipe[/h2]
The popular community server CryoSmall had a wipe last Saturday and it's not too late to join it now! This server has moderation to enforce the rules of no-alliances so nobody can play there in the larger team than permitted (up to 2 players per team).
By the way, if you're looking for a moderated server allowing teams up to 5 players, CryoFive server will hold a wipe on 27th March.

A29 Patch #10/Signed executables

=== CryoFall v0.29.12.16 (A29 Patch #10/Signed executables) ===

This is just a service patch—nothing has changed but the game binaries were rebuilt.
We've finally acquired a Code Signing certificate from Sectigo. It should prevent problems with false-positive detection by antivirus software that are using machine-learning to guess whether the executable contains any similarities with known malware. Code sign will also prevent tampering of the game files. If you notice any issues, please let us know immediately.

Enjoy the game and stay tuned for A30 Update! Follow us on Official Discord server—we're posting upcoming content and features regularly!

Supporter Pack Update 3

We are happy to announce that we have just updated the CryoFall Supporter Pack!

As the game nears its release and gains more and more new features and content we are able to share more interesting art assets and miscellaneous thing within the Supporter Pack. This update brings additional concept art, high-resolution game art, and other goodies. If you have purchased the Supporter Pack previously—you can immediately access all of it. And if not—we would be very thankful if you can consider supporting the game with this little additional purchase.



The Supporter Pack doesn't provide any advantage in the game and is purely optional. It includes the game's complete soundtrack (now 7 tracks, total over 22 minutes long), concept art, high-resolution game art, chat badge, etc.
