Hello again, nomads and wanderers. We've been hard at work on some new systems and a bunch of content, and we're excited to share it with you!
Quests
The quests system is now complete, and some quests have been created to give the player some direction.

Main Quests direct you towards the most important goals in the game, such as capturing territories and building your Sanctuary
Side Quests are picked up from NPCs or found randomly around the city, they are mostly bonus rewards but also teach you some of the lore of the game world
Holidays
In each of the 4 seasons, there is a holiday (and 2 in Autumn).

Spring contains Easter, and some Easter/Spring themed rewards
Summer has Freedom day, and fireworks
Autumn has Thanksgiving, and Halloween, with a quest and themed rewards for each
Winter has Christmas, and a quest full of Yuletide cheer
Temperature System Overhaul
We've tweaked and fixed a bunch of things with the Temperature system.

Negative insulation now works correctly, you will get colder faster and hotter slower.
More significant penalties for extreme hot and cold temperatures, up to and including character death
Redone City Randomizer
Our coder is hard at work recreating the city randomizer from the ground up.
As of now, you'll probably notice the streets are always the same, although the lots are random with respect to themselves. The new system will have a completely random city generated each new game, including streets, point of interest locations, district types (residential or city), etc.

Welcome back, fellow vagrants!
It's been a while since you've heard from us, but we've been hard at work preparing the newest update for Urban Survival; the Weather and Seasons update. You'll notice some pretty significant changes the next time you log in after the update.
Calendar
The game now hosts a calendar, visible on your map.

The game will advance through the days at midnight, obviously
Each day new trash containers will appear through out the city, making your trash supply endless
Each season has 7 days
Each season will contain a holiday in a future update
Seasons and Weather
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter all have their own unique weather and challenges.

In the Spring you will find more rain, and sometimes thunderstorms
In the Summer there will be less rain and wind, and more heat, possibly heatwaves
Autumn is getting colder, a warning for what's to come. As well as hailstorms
Winter is the coldest time of year, so bundle up. Possible blizzards
Heat, Insulation, and Wetness
Along with Armor, which is now displayed in the equipment screen, you will also find an Insulation value

A higher insulation value will stop your heat from falling faster
A lower insulation value (down even into negatives) will stop your heat from rising faster, keeping you cool in those hotter days
Standing in the rain or snow will cause your equipment to get wet, reducing your effective insulation by up to 50%
Holidays
Holidays are no longer real time events, but they will take place at a certain point in the calendar year.

Each season will have a unique holiday, some of them two
Spring will see Easter, Summer hosts a solstice festival, Autumn is home to Thanksgiving and Halloween, and of course Winter will contain the existing Christmas event
These holidays will not be in the update coming up, quite yet, but will follow shortly after with their own update, adding the missing events

Since the integrated Calendar and Seasons system is not yet in place, we have removed the Christmas content for the time being.
Coming Soon:
This content will be available again fairly soon, as we move into a dynamic seasons and date system.

Each game file will progress through the calendar year, starting in Spring and moving through Winter as you play.
Each season will bring new challenges, as the Temperature and Weather systems will also be included in this update.
Each Season will be divided into a 7 day Calendar, and Seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas will be active during the appropriate season in game. (For example, Halloween will be active during the last 2 days of Autumn.)

The REAL War on Christmas
The very idea seems ridiculous. A War on Christmas? What kind of crazy, depraved lunatics would engage in something so ludacris? Well, you and your band of vagrants are about to make it real. Our Christmas update adds some new content, and paves the way for plenty of future featu
The very idea seems ridiculous. A War on Christmas? What kind of crazy, depraved lunatics would engage in something so ludacris? Well, you and your band of vagrants are about to make it real.
Our Christmas update adds some new content, and paves the way for plenty of future features. Introducing the Quest Log, and new interaction with some buildings. Some new stuff to look forward to this version:

The very beginning of the Seasons system, the world in these events are a preview of the winter season, which will bring many new challenges with it
A Quest Log, which will track any tasks/missions you might happen to find in the world
An exciting and ridiculous quest poking fun at some silly holiday happenings we've all seen in media
A New Faction arrives. The elves, in all their green glory, will try to shank you with their Candycane Daggers! Watch out, they're sharp
New Christmas themed weapons and items
And more fun content to discover!

Thanksgiving Event
What's this sound I hear in the woods, could it be a delicious new creature? Their razor sharp talons, piercing beaks, and ruffled feathers come flying into the city. They're tired of taking our crap, it seems, and they're ready to fight back. Pick a side. Are you with the Hunter
What's this sound I hear in the woods, could it be a delicious new creature? Their razor sharp talons, piercing beaks, and ruffled feathers come flying into the city.
They're tired of taking our crap, it seems, and they're ready to fight back.
Pick a side. Are you with the Hunters, or the Turkeys?

Turkeys can be killed to yield Turkey legs, which can be cooked, or traded to the Hunters for new rewards.
Hunters can be killed to yield Hunting Licenses, which can be traded to the Turkey Leader for different kinds of rewards.
New weapons and armor can be obtained as rewards, so join the War as soon as possible!
New food and recipes are coming to this version as well!

Turkey eggs can be stolen from nests, and used as a new base to create omelettes!
Pumpkins and Turkey legs are new main ingredients
Corn on the cob is a new filler ingredient
New conversation system makes managing your followers much easier, with 100% less followers sent home by accident. Additionally, followers now have a personality type, which will change the way the character speaks to others, making for less repetitive dialogue.

Navigation Patch
We will be updating the game very soon with a patch that should optimize Character navigation. The game used to try to generate navigation only once. This would often result in an inaccurate nav mesh after the world had finished randomizing (or applying the randomized world from

Players can equip masks they find, just like any other equipment
Trick or Treat

Between the hours of 19:00-3:00 (in-game time), if the Player has a Halloween Mask equipped, any residential house Front Door can be interacted with
Interacting with Front Doors will draw a random reward, many treats can be found ːsteamhappyː, as well as a few tricks ːsteammockingː
Interacting with Front Doors can only be done once per in-game day, unless your Party is also wearing Masks. You can draw 1 additional reward for each Party member wearing a Mask.
Sometimes by a rare chance Candy Bowls will spawn in front of Front Doors. These can be looted for a random number of Candies
Rewards

Sometimes drawing a Treat from Front Doors will give the player a "Piece of Candy"
Pieces of Candy can be eaten to restore a tiny bit of Hunger, Health, Stamina, and Depression. Or, if you choose to stockpile them, they can be exchanged for Halloween Rewards

Hotfix
Very quick patch here to fix an issue with the Storage building. Accessing this building hard locked your game as the close button was being hidden by other UI elements. This has now been fixed, and the Storage building should work as intended.
