Update 1.4.0 - 09/19/19

Base Building Snapping System

• The first phase of the base building snapping system has been completed and included in this update
• It is recommended that all existing bases be rebuilt using the snapping system as some walls are likely to have been shifted due to required changes in some part sizes
• Additional snapping features will be added in future updates
• Freeform placement is still fully supported, so both snapping and freeform can now be used

Foundations

• Foundations are now been added to the game
• There are currently two sizes of foundations you can use (4mx4mx4m and 2mx2mx4m)
• Both have more health than any other base parts, which means they are less likely to get targeted or destroyed during a raid making your base much stronger
• Their placement is restricted to terrain only and snap to each other
• A foundation can be placed in shallow water as long as the center of the foundation is above water (so, partially submerged)
• Foundations use rocks as a crafting material and can be upgraded to plated the same way you would upgrade other base parts

Plated Tier

• Most of the plated tier base parts were reworked to facilitate placement with platforms and to give them a better look

Metal Tier

• Most of the metal tier base parts were adjusted to work better with the snapping system
• Their sizes have been adjusted, as well as their look, to better differentiate them from the plated tier
• The health of the metal base parts was doubled making them extremely strong against explosives

Drawbridge

• The draw bridge and drawbridge wall base part have been added
• Drawbridge placement is restricted to the drawbridge wall only
• If the drawbridge wall is removed while a drawbridge is snapped to it, the bridge will be removed

Game

• AMD GPU users may experience increased performance (up to 50% more based on settings and map areas)
• Can convert an AT-12 shotgun into a Sawed-off AT-12 shotgun
• Airplane crashes should no longer occur in rivers
• Airplane drops will no longer happen in base building exclusion areas (cities primarily)
• Airplane crashes adjusted so they won't occur right at water edges
• Lots of optimizations to models and prefabs to help increase client fps

Kiosk

• Adjusted the cost to store Grenade in kiosk to 7 Amcoins
• Adjusted the cost to store Pipebomb in kiosk to 20 Amcoins
• Adjusted the cost to store C4 and C4 bricks in kiosk to 20 Amcoins

Items

• Sawed-off AT-12 added (secondary weapon)
• Hacksaw added (drag onto an empty AT-12 shotgun to covert to sawed-off version)

Base Building

• A base will be instantly removed when its decay timer expires (before the server had to restart first)
• Changed explosion max damage radius to 3.5m (was 5.0m)
• A maximum of 12 base building parts can be stacked on top of each other
• New watchtowers added

AI

• Significant AI optimizations have been made
• Roughly twice as many AI will now spawn in the world
• Hordes/packs will now spawn with random clothing items
• Increased the size of some of the hordes/packs

Map

• Minor tweaks and fixes
• Some optimizations with larger prefabs to help with frame rate

Audio

• Decreased intensity of sewer pipe water sound effec

t

Animations

• Changed to and from prone transitions to stop head from being too far forward

UI

• Keybinds have been added to the General category for base building actions - rotate, etc.
• By default, the CTRL key will toggle between freeform and snapping placement
