Hello Survivors

Today we are releasing another update which includes the full soundtrack, many improvements and bug Fixes.

Update Features (v0.15a)

Fahrenheit & MPH

Now you can change the weather measurements to Fahrenheit and MPH in the settings. This is a small addition to the game but will greatly increase your experience if you are accustomed with the imperial measurements. The metric measurements are still the default.

CraftOPedia Redesign

The CraftOPedia has been completely redesigned to give the player more impactful information on each item. You can now see items that are locked by research.

Emails

We have created emails as a way to provide information to the player without it being intrusive. For example, we have removed the Market Recap menu that pops up at the end of the day. Instead, you will receive an email which you can view at any time. You will also receive emails about your workers and other events.

Navigate Through Pinned Crafting Recipes

If you have a complex crafting recipe, instead of pinning each crafting level, you can now navigate up and down each crafting recipe from the crafting tool! This feature was suggested by our steam community!

Events - Phase 1

This update will feature an introduction on game events. You will experience every few days that an item in the Market will have its price skyrocket due to "short supplies".

There will be more events and lore added to the game in the future!
