Game Update: Weather is Available!

Hi!

The Just Survive Live servers have been updated and wiped. Here are the patch notes for this update:

  • Weather has returned to Live! The new and improved rain and fog systems make their first appearance on Live in this update.
  • Loot spawn cap fix. We discovered a legacy item spawner bug a few weeks back that we were able to address in this update. In the past, loot would take a few days to "normalize" it seemed, which was incorrect of course and prevented our designers from accurately adjusting loot tables in the game. Please note that while this fix may feel like a loot nerf to many of you, loot tables have not been touched at all in this update. The spawners will simply now cap out appropriately as intended.
  • Repair boxes have been removed, thereby eliminating a nasty base exploit we've all been living with for a while.
  • Crowbars are no longer repairable. This, too, was another legacy bug we were able to address in this update that previously allowed an unintentional harvest-able amount of scrap metal to be collected in short order.
  • Non-socketed items will now no longer prevent decks from despawning (furnaces, storage containers, dew collectors, etc.)
  • Socketed base items (gates, shelters, basically everything that snaps) can no longer be placed to interpenetrate other base objects.
  • Stairs and ramps can no longer be placed in a way that creates unraidable bases.
  • Several new/additional Crash to Desktop fixes
  • Exploit logging and ongoing anti-cheat/hack countermeasures

This is an exciting update for the Just Survive team as it marks the first time we've rolled out new content to Live in quite a while with the new weather system. This is the first new system of many to come in the months ahead as we continue developing things like the new melee system you all got a sneak peek at, as well as the new map and Strongholds just to name a few.

We hope you enjoy this update and that you'll continue to provide your invaluable feedback in the days and weeks ahead. I'll fire up a new Live Issues thread later in the day to capture specific feedback about what you're seeing and to call out the issues we're working on for you. This game exists because of you. That's never lost on us. Thanks for letting us be a part of the story!
