Our latest patch brings weather improvements along with a variety of visual, atmospheric and balance updates.
Gameplay & Balance
With this patch, we've introduced several gameplay balance adjustments: reducing the build/destruct range to 1.5m (down from 3m), improving door boarding logic, and preventing the diesel-generator gas lid from being stackable under the arm.
Weather
Up until now, the world could shift between six major moods: Wet Haze, Blizzard, Thunderstorm, Hail, Clear Skies and Overcast. We’ve added more subtle weather variations to keep you guessing what might come next.
Audio
We have also made some tweaks to audio and atmosphere. You can now hear heartbeat signals for dehydration and hunger, tinnitus and gradual world-volume muffling in critical states.
UI
The inventory also got a small update this patch: wet items now show a blue background, so they're easier to spot.
In addition to what’s already mentioned, we’ve made some significant changes to the way we design our camera and lighting, read more in our Dev Blog:
