Halt the Year 2 Roadmap to focus on polish
This letter is a bit lite while we work to polish and clean up systems.
I believe we need to halt the year 2 roadmap to focus on polish. Being an indie team with limited resources i feel our best efforts should be placed towards optimization, Path Finding, Tutorials and bug fixing. After an extensive period of time is spent on these systems we should then resume on Factions/Civilian Management and rework the year 2 roadmap for our new schedule going into Year 3.

So what does this mean? In most cases most divisions will not be affected outside of programmers generally character modeling and other divisions will press on to create a backlog of assets so when the programmers are taken off this polish period we'll have plenty to work on across the board.
Next Patch
We expect to have further bug fixes live in the next 24-48 hours to further improve collision issues and other oddities players have been reporting. Please remember to leave your bugs/issues preferably documented on our discord bug-report channel.
CERC handbook Revamp
Myself and some volunteers from the community have also been working on replacing the CERC Handbook size. Early W.I.P taking inspiration from the Zomboid Wiki, A place to put in lore/guides and general information about the game. If your interested in joining the scribes contact a mod on our Discord.
