Dear Survivors

Nearly a week into the new apocalypse, here’s a small patch to correct some issues and improve the experience. We know 1.0 has been mixed, some players are having an awesome time, while others aren’t, but we’re doing what we can to fix everything, like we always do.

PLEASE READ: All server owners, please make sure you restart and update your server, and that all players are fully updated too.

The current zombie and wildlife spawning issues on dedicated servers has been one of the most frustrating issues we’ve experienced since development began. We’ve made quite a few changes that should put this issue to rest. To be on the safe side, we’ve also added several server side debugging functions that will allow us to better track spawning and we will be monitoring it closely. Should we or the community notice any abnormalities, we will be able to release a server patch that will not require a client update from Steam. Hopefully the farming sim is over!
