New "Survival" game mode available when starting a new game, I will keep releasing new updates for this new game mode throughout 2026.
This new game mode will be more demanding for the player, the weather and time of day will greatly affect your calories consumption and energy levels. If your available energy reaches a critical state you will pass out and a heavy resources penalty will be applied, the same applies if anybody on your gaming session (coop) passes out. A lot of systems were rebalanced for this new game mode (without affecting the normal game mode) and I will keep calibrating them based on feedback. Below you will find the changelog, most of these changes only apply to the new survival game mode.
