R31 Patch #5

=== CryoFall v1.31.8.1 (R31 Patch #5) ===



Improvements:
- Reworked medical cooldown system: You can use weapons without restrictions while under medical cooldown. The cooldown itself is slightly longer for primary medicine (such as medkit). It's still not possible to spam medicine and you need to think before using some medicine preemptively as the cooldown may restrict you from using essential medicine (such as stimpack) at the best moment. We will be happy to hear your feedback once you try this updated mechanic in the game. We will consider further improvements with the next major update, if necessary.
- New medical cooldown indicator will appear over all medicine items you have to make it easier to determine which items you cannot use at the moment and when the cooldown will expire.
- New bindable shortcuts: "Quick use—Slot #X" (for all hotbar slots from 1 to 9 and 0; available in Options->Input settings, not bound by default so you can select the best key you wish for any slot; you can bind to any keyboard keys as well as side buttons on your mouse intended to navigate back and forward in the web browser).

Changes:
- T2 rifle fire range increased to match the range of T3-T5 rifles (13 tiles, it was 12 before).
- Increased x2 the chance of finding teleport location data in radtowns/ruins.
- Strenth boost now provides +25% melee damage bonus.
- Events: Increase the number of circles from 2 to 3 for Thumper Migration event when online is 20+.
- Events: Reduced amount of sulfur and slime from Blue Glider fish (as they're caught x5 more often in R31).
- Local server: Removed max base size limitation (Please note: Power generation efficiency will clamp at min 84%).
- Local server PvP: Disabled time gate mechanic in all local server presets—even if you enable PvP there will be no time gates.

Fixes:
- Events: Improved event location selection (sometimes an event appeared with a much lower number of circle areas than usually).
- PvE: Attempting to place a mining charge inside the boss spawn area broke the UI.

If you're hosting a community server, you need to install this patch to allow the updated client to connect. Please follow this guide to update your server: https://wiki.atomictorch.com/CryoFall/Server/Setup#Server_update.2Fupgrade_to_new_version

If you cannot connect to a community server because it's not updated, you can switch to the previous client version in Steam Client. Click with the right mouse button on the game in your Steam library, open Properties, select the BETAS tab, and choose "legacy-r31-1.31.7.2" in the dropdown menu.

R31 Patch #4

=== CryoFall v1.31.7.2 (R31 Patch #4) ===

Changes:
- Items disassembling: Now you can disassemble ammo and grenades on the Tinker table. It's recommended to disassemble a significant number of them at once (similarly to how many are crafted in the recipe).
- Greatly improved the chance of finding a teleport location data item. The algorithm has changed to guarantee that you can obtain one in a reasonable time (look for military/industrial/science crates in radtowns; the chance is one item per 80 crates on average).
- Rebalanced Nemesis mech (mech properties, building costs, and its weapons).
- Very slightly adjusted damage resistances for bosses making energy weapons more viable against them.
- Rebalanced amount of biomaterial provided from Psi grove.
- Local server: Removed network quality indicator when playing in singleplayer mode/from the same PC.

Fixes:
- Community servers/Local server: The signs were missing in the construction menu (they should be disabled only on the official servers).
- PvE servers: Fixed a bug when an item dropped inside the boss spawn area (before the boss has spawned) broke the UI.

R31 Patch #3

=== CryoFall v1.31.6.12 (R31 Patch #3) ===

Changes:
- Steam Achievements are available now when playing on a local server with mods and/or with unpacked Core.cpk.

Fixes:
- Opening vehicle interaction window sometimes broke the UI and required restarting the game.
- Initial local server savegames were not created when Saves folder is missing (likely a rare issue as there were only two reports of it).

This is a client-only patch. No server update is necessary and no new server distributive is provided.

R31 Patch #2

=== CryoFall v1.31.6.9 (R31 Patch #2) ===

Fixes:
- Local server was not accessible (even from the same PC) when it cannot bind to the LAN interface due to firewall restrictions.

R31 Patch #1

=== CryoFall v1.31.6.8 (R31 Patch #1) ===

Patch notes:

Changes:
- Official PvE servers: Increased the difficulty of all bosses as well as the amount of loot from them (the setting is fine-tuned for each server to ensure good challenge).
- Introduced a new server setting to restrict building on meadows. Enabling it on the existing servers will break the game for players that have already built their bases there. Due to this limitation, Official PvE servers will restrict building on meadows after the next wipe. If you're hosting a community server and wish to restrict building on meadows, search for "RateStructuresCanBuildOnMeadows" in the ServerRates.config file (currently, it's not exposed in the server rates editor).

Fixes:
- Achievement "Harvest all crops" was provided when any farm plant was gathered (it should be provided when you gather all kinds of crops).
- Welcome message was not displayed after joining the server.

If you're hosting a community server and wish to update, please follow this guide.
