Patch 0.7.0 - Replenishment - Inventory rework/remake & Infestations

A new save is highly required due to the backend changes made to the inventory system. You will also be warned if loading up a save from a previous version

Inventory Rework:

• Over 500+ items recreated
• Randomised Stats - Firearms, melee weapons and equipment all now have randomised stats they can spawn with. From damage, to armor protection. Many stats can be randomised
  
• Durability System - Again firearms, melee weapons and equipment all now have durability. Think the default durability multiplier is too low or too high, you are free to change the value or if you dislike durability, you can disable it currently
• Attachment Stats - Attachments now have specific static stats they spawn with. Certain ones will improve your weapon in a specific way compared to another one
• Container item viewer added to inventory screen
• Many back end changes have been made improving current systems and to adding the new ones
• A lot of work has gone into this and it will allow me to add a lot more going into the future. For example, scrapping any item in the game to get specific resources from a pool of items and more.
• Yes, you can still do backpack in backpack, this is still a difficulty option :)

New Infestation System:

• Primary Infestations - Large infestations, full of dead bodies. These have a bone like structure around them protecting it from incoming damage that must be destroyed first. Find the secondaries and take them all out around the map. Look forward to more additions to this system in the near future
• Secondary Infestations - Connected to a primary infestation, these protect it from taking any damage. They have less health and there can be multiple
• Random Infestations - These infestations only start appearing after you have taken out all of the primary infestations in the map. They will have the same loot as primary and increased/slightly randomised health


Reworked locations:

• Gun Store near the mall - Now "Buck's Gun Store & Diner" this has been completely redesigned with a lot more detail and love
• Ellwood Buildings - Buildings near the plane were replaced to have residential buildings the player can actually explore fully
