Update 1.009 is live

Changelog - 1.009

Crashes & error pop-ups

  • Fixed a crash that could happen while loading a save.
  • Fixed error pop-ups when a gardener zombie tried to harvest a crop that was already gone.
  • Fixed a freeze when assigning a zombie to a station if the previous worker was no longer valid.

General fixes

  • Fixed the player or the HUD staying locked after returning to the main menu or starting a new game, including a cinematic or a fight that never cleared.
  • Fixed the day not rolling over when the clock landed exactly on the end of the day. This showed up as a day jump in the quests UI after a sermon.
  • Slightly expanded scenes so they are no longer cut off on widescreen monitors.

Softlocks & collisions

  • Fixed getting stuck after upgrading the nun's base. You are moved clear of the building when the upgrade finishes.
  • Cleaned up collisions on conveyor storage, the crematorium, the resurrection table, and the garden and vineyard assistant stations. The box carried overhead no longer blocks movement.
  • Fixed the interaction point on the locked tower gate.
  • Fixed items from the sawhorse dropping in the wrong place.

Zombies, farming & stations

  • You can pick up or inspect a caretaker from their station while they are out working.
  • Fixed caretakers getting stuck on quarry objects.
  • Fixed zombies at the sawmill, mine, clay pit, and sand pit getting stuck after carrying the result back, so the next job can start.
  • Fixed gardener zombies getting stuck on a broken harvest. They return to the station, and a harvest that keeps failing is left for you. Garden and vineyard workers no longer keep a hat on while they are at the station.

Inventory & items

  • Bait stored in bags is now found when you fish.
  • Fixed gamepad navigation skipping inventories in the storage window when a bag is open.

Crafting, perks & progression

  • Fixed the Son of a Butcher perk so its bonus applies to organ surgery and pocket extraction.
  • Fixed the pre-order Sauna bonus permanently reducing the energy food restores after the buff expired. Existing saves are corrected.
  • The tier-2 kitchen oven no longer appears in the tech tree when the kitchen table is unlocked. It stays hidden until the oven is repaired. Existing saves are corrected.
  • Fixed the study table starting the wrong survey for grape juice and grape wine.
  • Craft tooltips no longer list a station extension that is already attached.

Graphics & UI

  • Fixed crows getting stuck in a looking animation.
  • Fixed the woodpecker not returning to its perch after flying, and a broken peck animation.
  • Fixed misplaced icons in the garden bed window.
  • Fixed missing Chinese icons on the HUD.
  • Updated the credits.

Quests & progression

  • Fixed the sermon ending incorrectly.
  • Corrected several translations, including the Russian names of the eastern sluice-gate battles, the Chinese wording for the PR activity, and some Korean dialogue.
