Update 0.12.1 — Patch Notes

After receiving feedback from several players, I've made the following changes:

New Features

Added Easy mode difficulty selection when starting a new game, where you begin with 5000 of each resource
Added a tutorial step explaining the save system — interact with the bed in the small house to save your game

Improvements

The Build menu in the Management Terminal is now only usable when near your base

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where production buildings (Water Tower, Windmill, Logger's Hut, Oil Depot, Scrap Hut) would permanently stop producing resources after saving and loading
Fixed a bug where looting a zombie loot bag that despawns mid-animation would leave the player stuck in a crouching position
Various stability and interaction fixes

Thank you for the feedback — keep it coming!

New systems always ship with rough edges, and a few showed up fast once people started laying out real bases. Here's what got fixed. Some machines wouldn't place. Turned out the floor check only looked at the exact spot under your cursor — and a lot of floors are tagged on the parent, not the collider. It no…Game update10 Jun 2026Chains of Bondage — v0.14 is out!Hey everyone! Big update this time — the building system got a complete overhaul, plus a major AI rework. The headline: you can now place buildings wherever you want! Click Build and a ghost preview follows your aim — green means you can place, red means blocked. Rotate it with Q/E or the scroll wheel, left click to confirm, right click or Esc to cancel. You only pay when you actually place it.…
