We have released a new patch that addresses some issues with looting, balance, and inventory lag. Read on below for the full changelog:
Loot
- Fixed animals not dropping proper meat
- Adjusted Boss zombie loot to drop loot groups instead of items, meaning more items will drop, at a balanced pace
- Adjusted runner zombie loot to match proper category
Zombies
- Removed infection chance from day runner zombies
- Decreased Screamer Boss' damage
- Increased Screamer Boss health to 400
Recipes
With this recent build, we added Vouchers to the loot of common and boss zombies. These are used as special currency, which can be crafted into useful materials and items. In this patch, we introduced a few recipes to go hand in hand with Vouchers:
Metals
- Scrap Iron x10 - 1 Voucher
- Forged Iron x10 - 10 vouchers
- Forged Nickel x10 - 15 Vouchers
- Forged Cobalt x10 - 20 Vouchers
- Forged Steel x10 - 25 Vouchers
- Forged Tungsten x10 - 50 Vouchers
- Forged Titanium x10 - 75 Vouchers
- Forged Magnesium Alloy x10 - 100 Vouchers
Tools
- Iron Pickaxe x1 - 3 Vouchers
- Iron Fireaxe x1 - 3 Vouchers
- Iron Shovel x1 - 3 Vouchers
- Steel Pickaxe x1 - 6 Vouchers
- Steel Fireaxe x1 - 6 Vouchers
- Steel Shovel x1 - 6 Vouchers
More to follow in future updates.
- Removed lock of most class-only items, and instead, locked the materials needed in order to make the items. This includes things like tools and weapon parts. While you will be able to craft most of what's needed for items, some will be needed to be taken to a specialist in order to complete (ex: Gun parts need to be taken to Gunsmith for assembly)
- Added a "Main Class Book" to starter items, that can be crafted into 1 of the 10 primary class books.
