A24 Update Preview

Now that the A24 update is close to release (planned for the end of November) we wanted to give a little preview of the most interesting features that the update includes, especially considering that it is the biggest update to CryoFall so far!

As you’ve probably guessed from the header picture—the biggest change is the introduction of vehicles. We’ve added several types including gravi-platforms (hoverboards) which are great for long-distance travel as well as battle armor which could prove useful in combat—be it defending your base or assaulting someone else’s.

Another big change is the complete rebalancing of the electricity system. Now, building your electricity grid is more interesting as you can build sustainable electricity production for all of your structures that work using electricity. This applies to both PvP and PvE servers. You can also use electricity in the new Vehicle Assembly Bay to construct and repair your vehicles.

Farming and cooking weren't left out too. Plants can now go through the entire life cycle from planting to withering if left unharvested. And all food recipes have been changed to make cooking more involved and effects of food more diverse, now covering three separate effects: hearty food (which gives different strength bonuses), healthy food (improving your character health) and savory food (offering learning bonuses).

Some other major changes and new features include: new dynamic music system which will change depending on your environment and actions (such as when raiding a base, exploring an abandoned town, or simply visiting a large player base) as well as several new music tracks, new female character model, weapon traces, improved firefight balance and visuals in general, completely reworked world map with new roads and points of interest, dozens of new items, recipes, technologies, structures and more!


Anyway, if you are interested to see the full list of changes for A24 update—you can find them on our forums, as always.

If you want to try the new version (and help us to improve it), please join A24 experimental now! It's already stable and translated to all the languages supported by the game. Simply choose “A24-Experimental” in the betas tab for the game in Steam Client to get the latest beta version of CryoFall and join the PvP or PvE experimental server.

A24 Experimental is now live!

Greetings!

The next major update is ready for testing! It's including long-awaited vehicles and roads, female player character model, a new dynamic music system, and over a hundred changes. We've also worked hard on rebalancing the game and now looking forward to your feedback!



You can find the detailed patch notes on Official Forums.
Please give the game a try on the experimental server and let us know what you think!

How to connect:
To join you need to manually set CryoFall Steam branch to "experimental-a24". To access it please right click on CryoFall in Steam, choose properties, then BETAS, and select the experimental version.
After the game is updated—launch it and find A24 Experimental server in the featured servers list.
Then join the game and play! ...or rather test! :)

Server rates:
The server rates are increased to make testing easier (x2 on everything).

Mods are not yet compatible:
Mods (such as CNEI) are not yet updated by their authors to support this version—please disable them in ModsConfig.xml file (or delete this file altogether) if the game cannot launch for you and displaying mod compilation errors.

Ready for Halloween!



Greetings!

CryoFall Halloween event is now live!

As mentioned in our preview post from a few days ago this event introduces a few small nice things that you can find and use in the game for the duration of the event, which includes among other things: event-specific default T-shirts, pumpkin hats and most importantly actual pumpkins which you can now farm. They are very nutritious! ;)



With this update, we're also consolidating official PvP game servers to ensure higher average online numbers across all the servers. This should make competing in PvP much more exciting.
We're also introducing Official South America server so players from this region can fully enjoy the game!

Finally, as promised in the previous post, the official PvP servers were wiped (not PvE). Welcome and enjoy the game in a fresh economy where you can again compete on equal terms!

Upcoming Halloween event and PvP servers wipe

Greetings!

While we are working on the next major update (A24) we have been able to arrange a small Halloween event.
We are planning to release this event-update in the next few days together with the PvP servers wipe which many players are waiting for. It won't introduce any new content, instead there will be just a few small visual changes like adding pumpkins, replacing hats with Halloween themed one and such.
Only official PvP servers will be wiped with this small event-update. We're also consolidating the PvP servers to ensure a higher online number on fewer servers. Hopefully, it could bring some new life to the servers.

In November you can expect the next major update release (A24) with hundreds of improvements and completely new features such as vehicles. Before that, we will open an experimental server so everyone will be able to join and check out what's new, and provide feedback so we can implement further improvements before the official release of the update.

Time for solo/duo PvP

Greetings, survivors!
