Now that the A24 update is close to release (planned for the end of November) we wanted to give a little preview of the most interesting features that the update includes, especially considering that it is the biggest update to CryoFall so far!
As you’ve probably guessed from the header picture—the biggest change is the introduction of vehicles. We’ve added several types including gravi-platforms (hoverboards) which are great for long-distance travel as well as battle armor which could prove useful in combat—be it defending your base or assaulting someone else’s.
Another big change is the complete rebalancing of the electricity system. Now, building your electricity grid is more interesting as you can build sustainable electricity production for all of your structures that work using electricity. This applies to both PvP and PvE servers. You can also use electricity in the new Vehicle Assembly Bay to construct and repair your vehicles.
Farming and cooking weren't left out too. Plants can now go through the entire life cycle from planting to withering if left unharvested. And all food recipes have been changed to make cooking more involved and effects of food more diverse, now covering three separate effects: hearty food (which gives different strength bonuses), healthy food (improving your character health) and savory food (offering learning bonuses).
Some other major changes and new features include: new dynamic music system which will change depending on your environment and actions (such as when raiding a base, exploring an abandoned town, or simply visiting a large player base) as well as several new music tracks, new female character model, weapon traces, improved firefight balance and visuals in general, completely reworked world map with new roads and points of interest, dozens of new items, recipes, technologies, structures and more!
Anyway, if you are interested to see the full list of changes for A24 update—you can find them on our forums, as always.
