Zombie Within update for 5 March 2024

Hello Zombies and Survivors

Here is our first round of patch notes since releasing into early access! We appreciate all the feedback we have received since launch and want to encourage our growing community to keep it coming! That's what early access is all about, you sharing your thoughts and suggestions with us so we can make the best possible game come 1.0 ~ Speaking of suggestions, feel free to join the Wandering Wizard Discord or post to Steam forums with your feedback.

We have made these patches and hotfixes incrementally since early access launch, so if you do not see these changes to your game, please check if there is an update queued.
