It's patch day! This patch is mainly all about jealousy. You can flirt with more than one person (and they'll get angry with each other), you can dump the person you started a relationship with. When you give gifts to some people, others will wonder why they didn't get any. When you give out green passes among your community members, they'll try and take them from each other. Hopefully it should all help create a bit more drama!
There's also the usual sort of bug fixes and such. I realized there was a pretty major one that stopped you from progressing to the next romance stage with certain personality types, which therefore would have locked off the new endgame stuff for a lot of people - that's fixed.
I've also made it easier to cook human meat - you can just do it over a fire now instead of needing to put it in stew with some vegetables. That should help in the earlier stages when you're often short of food... though of course, most of your community members won't be happy about it!
Here's the full change list:
- You can flirt with multiple people at once, and they won't appreciate it
- You can now dump people
- Giving gifts to a person will often cause resentment among others who haven't gotten any, particularly if they didn't much like that person
- Your community members will get angry with you if they haven't gotten a green pass yet, and may steal them from each other
- Fix for snowman quest (and others) not failing properly, also explained more how to scoop snow
- Drinking game quest ignores any drink policy you might have set
- Resume All Roles button on Community Page
- Disable bleeding from feuds to make them less deadly
- Made F8 debug menus translatable
- Made human meat cookable on a spit
- Fix for characters sometimes thinking they can't go to a nearby river to get a drink
- Fix for role icons not appearing on all icons on character switching bar
- Fix for relationships not being possible with some personality types
- Fix for out of sync error when trying to trade with someone, if you have a different language set from another co-op player
What's this publicbeta thing?
v123 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:
- Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
- If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
- If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
