=== CryoFall v1.30.7.3 (R30 Patch #2) ===
While we're working on the next major update (that will bring more endgame content and proper single-player experience/integrated local server besides plenty of other improvements and content), we also wanted to make many fixes and quality of life improvements available immediately to you with this patch.
Patch notes:
Improvements:
- PvE: Large circle barrier will appear during the event preparation timer (20 minutes). It will prevent players from getting closer to the boss spawn area (this way it's no longer possible to camp the boss spawn). Players and vehicles that are located inside this barrier during the event announcement will be automatically despawned to prevent them from getting stuck there
- Drone control: Improved target selection—you no longer need to point precisely on the object that you wish to mine
- Greatly improved the servers list loading speed and reliability. It will also immediately prioritize the selected tab to load (e.g., when a modded servers list is selected, its entries are loaded first instead of waiting for other tabs to finish loading). The server Refresh button is also always available now
- PvE: When a mech is destroyed (such as during the boss battle), its dropped remains (cargo, weapons) will be object-locked to the last pilot and its party (other players will be unable to take these items)
- Medical cooldown notification displays a list of actions that are not available during the cooldown
- Updated UI library NoesisGUI and network library LiteNetLib to the latest versions (fixes and optimizations)
Changes:
- Pragmium power plant: Increased the power output of each pragmium fuel rod from 8 to 10 EU/s
- Changed how the server items drop rate applied to gemstones, gold, etc. Increasing the server rate will increase the probability of obtaining such items instead of increasing the output amount. For instance, playing with x5 items rate will provide a single gemstone 5 times more often (in the previous version it provided x5 gemstones but as rare as with the default drop rate)
- PvP: Increased structure relocation distance (in PvE it's already much larger)
- Farm plots cannot be placed under other structures
- Local server: Removed PvE boss event preparation timer as it's useful only for multiplayer PvE servers
- In faction-owned land claims, only players with the land claim management permission will be able to complete the structure blueprints
Server settings:
- Added console command to kick/ban the whole faction (useful for servers like CryoSmall and CryoFive)
- Access lists (whitelist/blacklist) now moved to the SettingsServer.xml file to provide persistence between the savegames
- Introduced separate item droplist rate for Space debris and Meteorite: DropListItemsCountMultiplier.ObjectMeteorite, DropListItemsCountMultiplier.ObjectSpaceDebris
- LandClaimsPerLevel server rate limit reworked to remove the lower limit of at least 1 land claim per faction level
- Limited the default max door owners number to 5
Fixes:
- Switching to a protected PvP server ("no-mods") while having any UI active mods sometimes resulted in broken UI
- PvE: Base guests can access doorbells and toilets (no permission required!)
- PvP: Faction-owned land claim continues to show "under attack" status after the raid is over
- PvP: Turrets were able to attack players on hoverboards that are behind a wall below
- Japanese translation: Remaining status effect duration didn't fit under the status effect icon
- Leaving a mech while firing its weapon sometimes resulted in firing the new weapon from the hotbar (it was visible only for other players)
- Fixed various crashes when scrolling the servers list
