HumanitZ Update 0.914
Our next update patch is here! We are calling out our awesome players and community on this one as we’ve tried to focus on fixes and improvements logged by our Survivors. One of the stand out things in this update are the changes to the build menu and system. You now have freedom to place buildables and the UI has been cleaned up. Additionally, we have implemented more features to aid us in the detection of people abusing systems and cheating on Official Servers. We still encourage using the Official Discord to report any unsavoury behaviour. Furthermore, we focused on some major multiplayer issues as listed below, which will greatly improve everyone's experience and lots of quality of life improvements. We thank our fantastic community for taking the time to report these issues in order to give you all a more enjoyable game.
Localization update: There is a new update for our French and Russian players as we have rolled out Phase One of the translation overhaul. Please join our Official Discord to give us feedback on these changes and we’ll look to have them fully completed by the end of the year. Italian translation is almost ready to be added, so that will be the first NEW language added to HumanitZ! Again, massive shout out to the community for taking on this responsibility for their regional communities!
Server update: No wipe required, but all servers will need to be restarted to receive the latest patch
