Lots of fun reworks and better ways to control your settlement this update!
Security
We have made it easier to make your survivors be safe at night! Survivors will only do jobs at night that are designated in the 'safe areas'. To aid in this we have added an new 'safe area' view mode that shows safe areas, as well we have added a new 'Security tab' in the bottom right. In future this tab with also contain survivor patrols and other fun things revolving around safety.
Power Reworks
The way power works has also been changed. We have completely removed wires and now have a new item called "Power node" Power nodes are automatically connected to your power grid and give an aura nearby of what they are also connecting to the network. All powered items need to be connected to the grid in order to function. We have also reworked the power view mode to help you see at a glance what is on the grid and how much power your power items have.
Spiffing up of menus
We have started to overhaul the look and feel of a lot of the menus. as you can see the main menu looks completely different. Many of the icons for menus and such have changed in the main menu as well as in game. We have more we want to do with it, but its off to a good start.
Final thoughts
As always guys keep the feedback coming. Tons of more content is in the works for Rekindling and we prioritize what to work on first based on user feedback! Thanks for all the continued support, make sure to let us know what you think on our Discord or here on steam in a Steam review, or in the forums.
