The Withering Update 2.0.0.21 is now live!
Hello everybody! This 2.0.0.21 update will be migrating to the main branch. There are several new crafting recipes, map and item database expansions introduced with this update.
Migration
I am currently working on the media side for the new 2.x build to replace all of the information on the Steam store page. The migration will happen as soon as I have all of the media elements in place and the information on the page updated.
City Map Expansion
The city scavenging area now has convenient stores that can be scavenged for components, food and water.
New Recipes
Players are now able to craft Food, Fuel and Medicine resources to help with the faction trade. New components are added to the item database.
New Items
The Item Database is being expanded to support the new functionality that is introduced with this update.
Fixes
Fixed: Interact (Quick Loot) key was not listed in input configuration
Fixed: Assembly Layout interface visual bugs
Fixed: Radio Mission descriptions were incorrect
Fixed: Random Events loot would not yield equipment items sometimes
