Thank you for leaving feedback on the Steam forums and https://discord.gg/Saleblazers! This is just a small patch to make night raids even more interesting and fix a few more things for the weekend. We hope you have lots of fun!
We've also updated our Steam capsule to better reflect recent balance changes to nighttime. Let us know what you think.
We'll be monitoring the community for feedback to release more hotfixes before moving on to the next content patch.
The following includes changes from hotfixes v0.14.4.1 - v0.14.4.2 as well.
➡️ Changes
- Slightly increased intensity of night raids for a bigger challenge 😎
- Added more enemy types to night raids
- Night raids and revenge encounters no longer occur when you are in most towns

- Revenge encounter trigger chance reduced for Ronin, Outlaws, and Bellcoats
- Revenge encounters no longer occur when you are already in combat
- Aggressive Ghouls no longer revert back to non-aggressive states
- Ghouls are no longer able to start revenge encounters for gameplay balance and lore reasons
- AI customers and employees will no longer try to dodge defensive barricades to resolve other AI pathing issues (so please put spikes away from the path of customers)
- Fog from weather (rain, snow) no longer illuminates the sky at night for better immersion
- Death markers are now named "Recent Death Box" and are placed at the Death Box spawn location to make them easier to find (Death Boxes are left at your last grounded location so if you're swimming it will spawn them on shore)

- Fishing minigame now scales catch time with Fishing mastery level instead of cursor acceleration
- Fishing minigame cursor acceleration is now instant

- Rebalanced fishing minigame values in general to be much faster (shorter time before fish bites, shorter time to catch the fish, faster reeling animation)
- Revenge encounters will no longer occur if you are already in combat (they will wait for combat to conclude)
- Adjusted styling of autosave and nav mesh regeneration UI
- Kazai Village Bamboo Hat Boar now belongs to Kazai Village faction
- Crafting will no longer start automatically if input inventory doesn't have ingredients but the player does to avoid accidentally using ingredients
- Changed enemy spawner logic to reduce scenarios where enemies spawn too close to you
- Adjusted shopkeeping money gain text to be smaller and stay longer
- Instead of losing interest in you the moment you cross game zones, police will now cross at least one game zone to get you
