Game update

BRICK — Build Update Call Notes (1.1)

BRICK - One Block at a Time · published

Everything since the live-feedback update (chopper, civilians, AI chat, turret ammo, drive-by shooting). Cumulative — if any build between then and now was never promoted, this one contains it.

Building parts — the workbench shelf is full now

One Wide Frame. A Bay Door Frame and a Double-Door Frame were the same hole in the same wall, so there's one frame now — the Wide Frame — and both double doors and a bay door fit it. Bases that already have a Bay Frame keep it, and a bay door hanging in one still fits the way it always did.

Doors you craft.

Handcraft Workbench 2 Workbench 3
Single Wooden Door Stone Door Metal Door
Double Wooden Double Doors Stone Double Doors Metal Double Doors

Wooden double doors no longer need a workbench or a blueprint. Craft a Stone Door, put it over the wooden one already hanging, and it replaces it in place. A worse door over a better one is refused and stays in your bag.

Something to put in a window. Wooden Shutters (WB1) · Reinforced Window — glass behind a welded grid, you can still see out (WB2) · Metal Enclosure Slit — two corrugated plates with a firing slit (WB3) · Metal Enclosure Solid — boarded right over (WB3).

They hang in a Window Wall the way a door hangs in a doorway, and they fill the hole — a covered window is no longer a shooting port. The Glass Window Wall is retired; one Window Wall is all you need.

Bay doors roll up instead of sliding a slab of shutter through the floor above.

Quality of life

Ladders are solid · Bandages are a real item with a proper icon · Turret Ammo Box so turrets stop fighting over one storage box · NO AMMO stopped flickering · the hammer targets doors · upgrades happen on the floor you're standing on · recruits can Cook raw food from a box at the campfire until it's gone.

AI chat

Rivals answer you again. The cooldown that quietened the channel was also swallowing the lines you were waiting on — the reply to your own alliance or truce offer, the warning someone is at your walls, your base falling, an arrest, a call for help. Those always land now; ambient chatter stays as quiet as today. Rivals also stopped burning dialogue on lines that were never shown, so they repeat themselves less.

Co-op

Three things that were quietly wrong on the server the whole time:

Friendly fire off now means off. It only protected you if both players had formed the same named clan — almost nobody does.
Your partner's workbench counts as yours. The server treated a friend's bench and cabinet as a stranger's, so you couldn't craft or research at them.
You can repair and upgrade the base you built together. Demolition still belongs to whoever placed the piece; storage boxes are still private.
The new doors, coverings and Wide Frame all work over the wire.
