● The game will now automatically detect whether Steam's incremental update system has corrupted game files. When detected, a prompt will appear informing players how to fix the issue.
● Biomes farther from the world center now have higher quality caps for items found in loot crates. Reaching Biome 10 or beyond gives a chance to obtain the highest-quality items without needing the "Scavenger" Perk.
● The "Scavenger" Perk has been reworked to increase the chance of looting high-quality items, on top of the previous rule. For specific changes, hover your mouse over the Perk icon to view detailed descriptions.
● Fixed a bug where players could quickly craft various top-tier, high-damage melee weapons using cheap wooden sticks.
● Fixed a bug where the hotkey binding for Shift-accelerating power generation on the pedal generator was not working.
● Fixed several bugs reported by players from the previous version.
This update primarily addresses the issue of players obtaining the highest-quality weapons and equipment too early in the game, as these items' stats far exceed the difficulty of the starting biome, making the game unchallenging regardless of difficulty setting. This is not intended to make the game harder for players, but rather to smooth out the character progression curve.
Note: The scripts in this update are referenced by multiple 3D assets, so the update size is larger than usual. We apologize for the inconvenience.
