Another small patch in the publicbeta branch (v163), fixing a crash and some other bits and bobs:

• Fix for crafters making stew or curry not marking it to be stored in a building, and so getting their inventory filled up with it
  
• Fix for builders (and others) not getting resources that were kept in motel rooms
  
• Possible fix for unconscious or sleeping characters shouting Stop Thief! when you steal something
  
• Fixes for some graphical glitches on the character info screen and map screen when you switch between characters
  
• Fix for crash when one builder completed a building while another was working on it
  
• Fix for animal feeders collecting more and more water bottles over time
  
• Tried to make NPC communities a little less likely to all get killed fighting each other
  
• Fix for NPCs having a negative memory of themselves winning a feud
  

EDIT - I've released another patch in response to comments below, v164, with a couple more fixes:

• Fix for lots of NPCs in AI settlements being assigned the lumberjack role
  
• Fix for NPCs not starting conversations in some situations where they should
  
• If an NPC wins a feud with their own community leader in an AI settlement, they'll become the leader
  

EDIT - and another, v165, with a crash fix.

What's this publicbeta thing?

v164 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:

• Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
  
• If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
  
• If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".

To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
