Hotfix 0.8.6 — Patch Notes

Thanks again to everyone sending in reports — this batch came almost entirely from your feedback.

Balance

  • Reduced food, water and fatigue drain rates by 15% in standard mode.

We received a lot of feedback about how fast hunger and thirst drain, and based on it we decided to slow things down — in our view this should make the game feel better to play. As a reminder, if the game still feels too demanding, there are Easy and Story difficulties, and you can switch at any point without starting a new game.

Fixes

  • DIY upgrades installed into a food or water machine no longer reset to 100 durability when removed.
  • Fixed an issue where the gamepad would switch on and stay locked, making it impossible to switch back to keyboard.
  • Fixed the invisible mouse cursor in menus for players with a yoke, wheel or pedals connected.
  • Fixed the robot at the station not coming out of the door if you died next to it during the first dialogue and respawned on the train.
  • Battery on the hatch: the quest no longer requires breaking ice if the battery was found somewhere else — any battery from any location now works.
  • Knocking the ice off the 10g antenna very quickly sometimes didn't count toward the stage and blocked further progress. Fixed.
  • Breaking the ice on the station door didn't always advance the quest. Fixed.

Steam Trading Cards

  • Steam Trading Cards have been added to the game.
