Greetings, celebratory scientists!

We’ve released a hotfix that addresses a number of issues such as gear breaking when you died and Skinks forgetting they were full of useful goos.

If you are getting a Fatal Error Crash, uninstall your mods.

• Mods are often the culprit of crashes, save data issues, or preventing Abiotic Factor from launching at all, especially following an update.
• While Abiotic Factor does not currently have official mod support, you’re always still free to mod, but use mods at your own risk. We offer no support or protection if you break your game or world saves with mods.
• If you are experiencing crashes or other issues and have any third-party mods installed (such as those found at NexusMods), please try uninstalling the mods before attempting to run the game again.
• You may want to completely clear your files and reinstall the game, as there’s been cases where an uninstalled mod still leaves some sneaky files behind.

Hotfix v1.4.0.27939 Changes:

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed Pets teleporting back to scientists unnecessarily when issued a return command via the Pet Pointer.
• Fixed a typo in the Compendium.
• Coatings can no longer be applied to Skinks when used as a weapon.
• Fixed the issue causing buffs from equipment to stop working after death (until after being unequipped and re-equipped.) Equipment buffs should now correctly persist after death.
• Fixed an issue with some weapons missing their visual effects.
• Added a 2-second cooldown to the Reset VOIP button.
• Adjusted the size and position of the seven interactables in the world that unlock certain ID Cards.
• The Skinks when used as a weapon no longer loses its ammo when dropped.

Onward to science!
