Range Finder System: When having a unit selected and hovering over an enemy the game will show you if the current unit can see the target and how much closer you would need to get to shoot/attack. This expands to vehicle weapons as well!

• New menu clock SFX added
  
• Custom Game settings added for Starting DNA
  
• Custom Game Settings added for setting the cost of Shreader rounds
  
• Fixed Shredder Rounds purchase just consuming money instead of DNA
  
• Added a 'Playtime' indicator on save slot widgets
  
• Updated the Weapon Range Indicator's visuals to indicate being blocked by 'shortening' the lit up part of the bar to match the block location
  
• Added 'in-garrison' weapon range displays, for units that can shoot out of garrisons.If their 'angle lock' stops them from shooting (i.e. their seat won't let them turn that far), they will not show the range indicator
  
• Weapon Range Indicators now have different colors if representing multiple weapons on a single unit
  
• Weapon range indicators for multi-weapon unit setups now have slight offsets (to indicate the separate weapons and their ranges)
  
• Crashfix added for multi-weapon unit setups for weapon range indicators
  
• Updated the main water tile in the Calypso landscape to use the WaterBodyCollision and not be set to be 'step up on' enabled (hopefully stops units sometimes thinking that's valid land to 'land on' during safety checks?)
  
• Removed laser sights and vision visualization 'cones' for characters
  
• Tracked down a broken reference in the ShopsCanvas that was preventing Civilian Admin sub-buildings from being buildable
  
• Made spacing more consistent on the recruit popup
  
• Updated splash

[h3]Week Goals:[/h3]

This week our goal is to wrap up 1.2 on experimental expect a few days of bleed over possibly if any fatal bugs/issues are encountered.

The next 2 days will be Rioting/Non-Lethal Weapons in the form of the Bean bag Shotgun. Then Dynamic Civilian Groups will form that hate you if you ignore their rioting when a zone enters yellow status for too long or you declare martial law for to long. (Up to Wednesday-Thursday)

The following 2-3 days will conclude 1.2 with Civilian Automation & Evacuation.

If a zone is set for intake based on ROE the zone will follow a preset template you can customize.

You will be required to station a scientist at the zones Civilian Admin structure with the detection weapon or build detection towers at these points to determine infection status if research allows.

Base templates:

Unknown
-Cage
-Wait (Wait 8-16 minutes to determine if infected)

Infected
-Euthanization
-Shoot on sight
-Turn away

Not infected
-Holding area (Till Helicopter arrives)
-Helipad

• Further Optimizations to the Anim Blueprint based on profiling data
  
• Removed all bodies and blood decals from Treasure Island Levels. (To Prepare for Dynamic placement in the future)
  
• Converted 12,873 assets to removable clutter; on Angel Island and Treasure Island, so far. More conversions to follow.
  
• We now turn off Infection Structures ability to hear and see via a new thread to save performance if no CERC unit is within 20k UU. This should improve the reliability of vision and framerate improvements in mid to late game.
  
• Fixed up some AnimInstance_Base C++ logic in relation to mob units, as well, so Mob Units properly recognize which unit is their owner, instead of being 'unowned' and thus always standing still or walking
  
• Evac load fix to try to stop some civvies from going to the wrong evac pad when loading saves and getting 'stuck'
  
• Melee Expliot for Infected fixed that could cause them to double melee
  
• Rioting system improvements
  
  • Suppressing a riot via stamina damage (right now, only way to do this is with sandbag shotgun) will now lead to Riot Suppressed for that Civvie Spline: it will not resume rioting until 10 real life minutes pass (accounting for slo-mo, etc.)
    
  • Rioting civvies will harm your reputation in a zone. This stops when riot is suppressed.
    
  • 'Last riot suppression time' (for the 10 min cooldown) saved/loaded
    
• Fixed CERC solider aimnode being to "responsive" at times
