This weeks update has two new major features, A new game mode and a doctoring system.
Doctoring
A new job type has been added, doctoring. Injured survivors will now find a medical zone and wait for another survivor to come heal them. They will slowly heal themselves when here as well but do much better when they have a doctor helping them. Medical beds have also been added, building these will speed up the healing process even more.
All survivors now have a doctoring skill that dictates how good they are at doing doctoring jobs. Any survivors from old updates will get a random skill level in it when you next load them up.
New game mode: Control
As the past couple of updates have improved control mode significantly we have added a new gamemode to play: control only. In this mode everything functions as it does in survival mode except you are directly controlling one survivor. If your one survivor you are controlling dies its game over! Hopefully this helps create a more immersive way to play.
And of course....
This wouldn't be a Rekindling update if we didn't add a new animal! We have added raccons along with coonskin caps! Everyone knows you need one of thease bad boys if you are trying to survive in the wild.
Final thoughts
