Version 67 Base building now has an actual construction step · Placing a building, tent, camper, generator, etc. now creates a translucent blueprint first instead of instantly finishing it. · Blueprints don't provide storage, crafting, power or shelter until they're actually built. · Walk up and hold E to build something yourself, or assign a settler to the new Builder job and let them handle i…
Version 66 Farming has been rebuilt from scratch · Farming is now Stardew-style: till individual tiles, get a dirt patch, then plant that tile. There is no more single farm-shaped plot - you choose exactly which ground gets broken. · Ground can be tilled anywhere on open ground near your base, not just in one fixed area. · Each crop now grows through five real stages of art (25% through 100%) i…
Version 65 The build menu has been rebuilt · The entire build menu has been cleaned up and rebuilt into a consistent three-column layout. Every buildable now uses the same size tile regardless of category, instead of each tab using a completely different layout. · Trees, props and fences no longer extend past the edge of the build panel, so nothing gets pushed off-screen or becomes impossible t…
Version 64 — Magazine & Ammo Overhaul Version 64 is now live! This is a pretty major update to how guns and ammunition work. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: OLD SAVES WILL NOT LOAD This update changes the save format, so you’ll need to start a new game. This is not something that will happen every update. Magazines are now real items · Guns now reload by swapping actual magazines instead of pulling ammo directly…
Version 63 Co-op: the raid reacts to everybody · Enemies now fight whoever is nearest, not whoever is hosting. Zombies and scavs standing in front of a squadmate used to simply stand there - they would not chase, shoot, or even turn round - while the same enemies worked perfectly for the host. They were switched off because the host's screen was deciding which of them were awake. · Hounds can b…
Optics · Two new weapon attachments have been added: the Holographic Sight and the Hunting Scope. Optics now have their own dedicated slot, meaning a weapon can carry a sight alongside a silencer and laser. · Only one optic can be fitted at a time. Installing a Hunting Scope will remove any Holographic Sight already attached, and vice versa. · The Holographic Sight is built for quick target acq…
Shell Casings · Firing a gun now drops spent shell casings onto the ground. Red Lasers · A red laser has been added that can be attached to guns. Furniture · 2 Sinks / 1 Stove / and 1 new table were added.
Muzzle flash · Firing a gun now throws a real flash of light from the barrel. It lights the ground, the walls and whatever is standing in front of you, so shooting at night gives your position away in a way it did not before. · Each shot kicks up a small puff of smoke. · The flash sits on the barrel itself and tracks it through the weapon's recoil, in every aiming direction. Shots come from the…
Weapon modifications · Weapons can now be modified. Right-click a gun in your inventory and choose Modify to open its parts screen, which shows what is fitted, what it does to the weapon, and what you are carrying that would fit. · The first part is the Silencer. It turns up on better-equipped scavs and is not common. · You can also fit a part by dragging it straight onto the gun, either in you…
Version 57 Raid size · The deploy board now has sliders for raid size: 150 to 500 zombies and 10 to 50 scavs. Each slider is labelled as you drag it, so 400 zombies reads HORDE and 50 scavs reads WARBAND. · The number you choose is the number that spawns. The sliders replace the normal squad scaling instead of adding on top of it, so 400 zombies means 400 whether you deploy solo or with four pl…
## Version 56 Co-op Co-op multiplayer is now available. · Play together in groups of 2 to 4 players. · Deploy into raids together, scavenge for supplies, fight enemies, and extract as a team. · Players can explore separately or stick together while moving through the world. · Loot, enemies, combat, and extraction now work across multiplayer sessions. · This is the first public version of co-op,…
Version 54 Enemies · Fixed scavs freezing in an aim pose and never acting. A scav who could see you but was too far to shoot would hold that aim indefinitely, and being shot did not snap him out of it - he could be killed without ever reacting. · Scavs will now always do something: they close the distance, take the shot, or reload. Standing still is no longer possible for them. · Scavs no longe…

Made Scavs not run as fast when repositioning. · Another fix for some quest text becoming bugged. · Added running from a crouch. · Fixed item duping when drag and dropping between containers. · Added a help screen that pops up the first time you use the Walkie Talkie. · Added H keybind to open the help menu.
Change the train collision just a smidge. · Made more clear why research is stalled due to insufficient power, as well as fixed a small UI bug regarding this.

- Item Switching: fixed a weird bug where items would become the item attempting to be swapped. - Loot Screen Standardization: zombies and scavs now use the same looting interface as all storage containers for a smoother, unified experience. - Uses Display Clarity: non-stack items now clearly show 3/3, 5/5, etc., so you always know how many uses remain. - Trader Bug Fixed: no more losing gear w…
- Standardized UI exits: Press ESC to close most screens. Added a red “X” button to many menus for clarity. - Spawn safety: Scavs will no longer spawn right on top of you when you deploy. Details Unified ESC-to-close behavior across inventory, crafting, build, and settings screens. Added a consistent red close icon to key UI windows for mouse users.
