Update #17 - Holiday Update

Hi there!

I'm excited to release an update that adds a new area to the map and brings several quality of life features.

Outskirts

The Outskirts District is a new area west of the Residential District.

Here you will find a burger restaurant, supermarket, ambulance and a military area. Have fun exploring and looting!

Clearable Barricades

• These are items in the map that take time to remove.
• Once they are cleared, you can access previously blocked off areas.
• The salvage faster ability also increases the speed a survivor will clear objects.

Automated Actions

• Survivors will automatically progress actions to completion when scavenging, salvaging, or clearing objects.
• You can see that a survivor is automated as they have different action point icons.
• You can cancel the automation by moving the survivor or by using equipment.
• You will still see all regular camera events while automated, so for example, if a zombie gets too close, you can move away or attack it as you normally would.
• This setting can be disabled in the options menu under 'Options => Game => Automate Survivor Actions'
• In future updates, this will also be applied to healing in the Medical Bay and completing tasks in the Workshop.

Patch Notes

• Added sound effects to looting.
• Added a new night-time music track 'Shadows and Dust' from Scott Buckley.
• The inventory menu will automatically open when a survivor has finished scavenging or salvaging a container and it is still their turn.
• Added a warning when loading saves which are potentially too old for the current version of the game.
• Reduced the spawn rate of putrid zombies outside of the Putrid Den. (12% => 8%)
• Fixed a bug where salvage faster would not apply its benefit in some cases.
• Fixed a bug where multiple hazards of the same type could incorrectly be added to a unit in some cases.

As always, be sure to drop any feedback in the Discord server or the in game feedback tool.

I appreciate your time and attention!

Thanks, ːsteamthumbsupː
