Update Alpha 6.0 is available for download.

List of changes:

• Redesigned character card.
  
• Added a character morality system. The morale indicator is displayed in the character card in a blue square. Various factors such as hunger or injury affect the character's morale.
  
• New item: Bullet. A new type of ammunition used by characters when shooting firearms.
  
• Added bandolier for characters. Each game character has a bandolier with a capacity of 12 pieces, for storing bullets. The bandolier is automatically replenished when the player enters the local map or after boarding, if there are bullets in the player's inventory. The bandolier can also be replenished or emptied by clicking on its icon.
  
• During boarding, an attacking character with a firearm spends a bullet from the bandolier.
  
• All crawlers and cannon turrets have added embrasures for shooting firearms at enemies. Each shot spends a bullet from the crawler/tower inventory.
  
• Added display of crew roles. At the moment there are 3 crew roles: captain, cannoneer and shooter. Roles are automatically distributed among the crew depending on the importance of the role – first of all, the captain is appointed, then the cannoneer and only then the shooters.
  The captain is responsible for the ability to control the crawler. The captain is any character who occupies the first place in the crew list.
  Any character becomes a cannoneer, if there are turrets on the crawler / tower. Each turret requires two cannoneers to be able to fire.
  Shooters are any characters who have firearms in their hands with a sufficient number of embrasures at the crawler. One shooter occupies one embrasure, starting from the left side of the crawler.
  
• Added the display of money amount and bullets in the player's inventory.
  
• Added a new random structure on locations – "Large carcass". It is a large destroyed crawler with enemies and containing random loot.
  
• Added backup saving of the game, which occurs every ½ of the game day. The save is placed in the folder "\AppData\Roaming\Scraplers\Saves\Reserve saves" and, if necessary, can be moved to the Saves folder for later download.
  
• Added the sound of receiving message in the dialog box.
  
• Some factions have a requirement for the presence of an item in the player's inventory to join the faction.
  
• The "Pirates" faction is divided into two friendly with each other pirate factions: "Rusty" and "Rippers".
  
• "Presbyters of War" are separated into a faction.
  
• "Sewer goblitrops" are separated into a fraction.
  
• "Cyberdemons" are separated into a faction.
  
• Added a new faction – "Redocolor".
  
• The process of saving the game is now displayed in the upper right corner of the screen in the form of a small floppy disk icon.
  
• The construction camp at the player's location is no longer a static decoration, but is randomly generated.
  
• Added a new playable race – Rasklor.
  
• Added a new location for the player to build – Stash.
  
• Added a new location for the player to build – Depot. New premises for construction at the depot have been added: depot barracks, depot warehouse, depot workshop.
  
• Added a menu for selecting location to build.
  
• Changed the mechanism of robbing player locations. Loot looting does not occur until the combat capability of the location drops to zero, that is, while there are defensive turrets or a garrison on the base. The greater the combat capability of the location, the less chance the attackers have to damage the location. Also, each type of location has its own visibility parameter for the enemy, so, for example, the "Block-post" location will be attacked more often than the "Stash" location.
  
• Added a new special mercenary - the T-02 Iron Tank.
  
• Added a new rare armor set: Iron Tank Helmet, Iron Tank Hydraulic Armor, Iron Tank Hydraulic Legs.
  
• Slightly redesigned the appearance of hydraulic suits in the game.
  
• Added skin colors for all races in the game. Also added a choice of skin color to player character during the initial setup.
  
• Locations belonging to the player are now displayed in blue on the global map.
  
• Added new items: Red Hat 1, Red Coat 2, Armored Red Coat 2, Red Hydraulic Armor 2, Helm 6.
  
• Made other minor improvements and bug fixes.
