Version 0.2.5 - Extensive Items Rebalance CURRENT UPDATE
Weapon Rebalance Spectrum: Continuing our journey of refining gameplay mechanics, we're thrilled to unveil an extensive recalibration of various weapon types in this iteration (0.2.5). While this round of rebalancing focuses on blades and batons, anticipate more changes in subsequent updates, as our approach evolves through thorough testing and player feedback.
- Focused Efforts on Blades and Batons: This time around, our sights are set on blades and batons. The aim is to bridge the gap between these weapons and the currently dominant options, like clubs or the reworked spear. The goal is to enhance gameplay dynamics by offering players more strategic choices and diversified combat experiences.
Vehicle Velocity Enhancement: Recognizing the discontent stemming from sluggish vehicle movement on expansive maps, we're introducing a substantial enhancement to vehicle speeds, approximately 20% faster. This modification is aimed at elevating the joy of vehicular exploration, especially on larger game maps. While this addresses immediate concerns, we're actively exploring additional vehicle-related improvements:
- Revamped Vehicle Inventories: Our focus extends to future updates where we're considering a revamp of vehicle inventories, enhancing their functionality for a more seamless gameplay experience.
- Zombie-Inflicted Damage Balance: We're also delving into the realm of zombie-inflicted vehicle damage, striving to achieve a balanced yet engaging interaction with the undead.
- Collision-Based Damage Equilibrium: Evaluating the fairness of vehicle damage upon collision is also on our radar, with the aim of providing players with a more equitable outcome in such scenarios.
Icon Transformation: The Steel Shovel Evolution. Staying true to our dedication to visual enhancements, we've incorporated yet another change into this extensive rebalance.
- Revitalized Steel Shovel Icon: We've updated the icon for the steel shovel, ensuring it now accurately portrays the in-game model. This seemingly small alteration exemplifies our commitment to preserving immersion and meticulous detail throughout the gaming experience.
Timing Mastery: Corpse Block Timers and Loot Bags. Aiming for heightened efficiency, we've orchestrated adjustments to the timing of critical in-game elements, resulting in a more seamless experience.
- Efficient Corpse Disappearance: Corpse block timers have been significantly reduced, leading to quicker corpse vanishing for improved overall performance.
- Extended Loot Bag Resilience: On the flip side, we've extended the lifespan of zombie loot bags on the ground, alleviating concerns about precious loot bags disappearing during intense horde nights. A similar approach has been applied to animal corpses, granting players the freedom to focus on combating zombies without fearing the loss of potential resources.
Your continued engagement and feedback are invaluable as we continue to refine and evolve the gaming experience. Version 0.2.5 underscores our commitment to creating an immersive, balanced, and rewarding world for players. Your insights will continue to shape the path forward as we strive to deliver a captivating and enjoyable gameplay journey.

Version 0.2.0 - Extensive Trader Loot System Update
In this iteration (0.2.0) of our trading mechanics, we're implementing a major overhaul of the trader loot experience. This update includes several important changes aimed at improving the overall gameplay and progression dynamics. The main goals of this update are:
- Rebalancing Trader Offerings: We've carefully adjusted 60% of the items available for purchase from traders. This effort ensures that the items provided align better with the in-game economy and player progression.
- Optimized Item Stacking: Some items in the trader's inventory now have smaller stack sizes. This change makes inventory management smoother while keeping the gameplay balanced.
- Introduction of Probability Mechanics: To add an element of surprise to the trading process, most of the rebalanced items now have a chance of appearing. This mechanic adds a new layer of strategic decision-making for players.
- Tailored Trader Loot Tables: Each trader now has their own unique loot tables. This custom approach to loot distribution ensures that the items offered by each trader fit their theme and role in the game world.
- Refined Iron-Steel Items: The adjustments to loot balance also apply to items crafted from iron and steel materials. By fine-tuning the availability and distribution of these items, we aim to create a more cohesive and engaging loot system.
- Progressive Loot Availability: A key principle behind this update is that trader loot should get better as players advance through different stages of the game. Early interactions with traders will yield basic offerings and won't include high-tier items. As players make progress and achieve milestones like unlocking the crafting of iron items, the variety and quality of trader loot will gradually expand, reflecting the player's growing skill and achievements in the game.
This thorough update showcases our dedication to enhancing the gameplay experience and providing a more immersive and rewarding journey for players. We believe that these changes will significantly enhance the trading mechanics within the game, making it more engaging and enjoyable. Your feedback on this version is incredibly valuable as we continue to refine and improve the overall gaming experience.
Prepare for an unparalleled gaming experience! Our mod goes beyond the surface, skillfully adjusting loot quality/tiers and game stage/loot stage requirements to create a more challenging and rewarding gameplay. Now, loot progression feels incredibly smooth and seamlessly integrates with the game's original crafting system, just as the developers intended. As you level up and hone your skills, discover an array of carefully placed loot in the Points of Interest (POIs), making every step of your journey more thrilling.
Prepare for a revamped mission experience! We've made significant changes to most in-game missions, streamlining the process. Now, upon spawning, you'll be tasked with a single mission before embarking on the Find Trader mission. Brace yourself for a more immersive journey as each tier requires you to complete 10 missions.
But that's not all – we've also reimagined mission rewards and increased the overall difficulty. Be ready for more challenging encounters, and approach each mission with caution. The rewards have been carefully adjusted to match the heightened difficulty, making every accomplishment even more satisfying.
We've thoroughly reviewed and fine-tuned the Trader sold loot to complement the comprehensive Loot system changes. Now, your interactions with Traders will feel more authentic, as they offer items that align with the world's loot progression. No more encountering Level 6 Steel items on Day 2! Instead, Traders will provide items that match your current level and progress, creating a more balanced and rewarding trading experience.
As you level up and venture further into the game, you'll notice a gradual improvement in the items available at all Traders. This dynamic enhancement ensures that Trader inventories remain in sync with your journey's progression.
Prepare for a more refined gaming experience with our small yet impactful in-game tweaks.
- The Dew Collector has undergone a significant improvement, procuring water twice as fast while remaining undetectable, generating no heat signatures.
- With the removal and adjustment of beginner missions, starting items have been carefully revised to ensure a smoother and balanced progression. Now, embark on your journey with newfound essentials.
- Enhance your crafting efficiency as the effects of the Anvil & Below have been magnified, offering twice the benefits for your crafting endeavors.
- Additionally, Traders' operating hours have been revamped, opening their doors at 4 am and closing at 11 pm. Enjoy an extended window to engage in trading and exchange valuable resources.
