Game Update - July 12

Hello survivors!

We have just updated Live with the following:

  • Lifetimes for traps and other "placeable" objects has been drastically shortened if they're not placed on a foundation or in a shack.
  • Duct tape has been removed from the plated armor recipe, and replaced with composite cloth.
  • Periodic shuddering due to an approximately one second hitch has been fixed.
  • Many more crates have been added to the gator recipe.  Enjoy!  If you find specific items that are missing or very desirable, please feel free to list them.
  • Player bases take progressively more damage from explosions the longer they have been abandoned.  Bases that have been vacant for almost a week should be very easy to clean up, allowing other squads to take over an area.  We expect to tweak the math underlying this feature, so please give feedback.
  • Several more anti-cheat modules have been added.

We noticed a problem during the Live patch QA pass with traps on Foundations. Some of them are not persisting properly. We will be looking into this for a possible hotfix.
