Here's a big update we've been working on in the testing branch. Note: If you weren't getting custom characters in Familiar Faces mode, this update lets you fix it by saving a new custom character
BALANCE:
- Car breakdown is less subject to RNG, now much more deterministic.
- New healing system! Now you constantly attempt healing when driving, so it's more of a steady trickle.
- Bad medical skill now takes more supplies, while medical over :) only takes 1 supply per health.
- Medical skill over 3 now gives you double heal attempts per session, with maxed medical giving you triple attempts or a free heal if you're out of medical supplies.
- Medical training from healing now stops at 3.
- Old healing event can still be found in resting events and some other places.
- Dogs are now much easier to train how to drive a car.
- Old obscure training method now gives extra stat bonuses in addition.
- There was a bug that made it easier than expected to run through large crowds of zombies. That's fixed now.

- Boomerang nerf for using it in melee range.
