Dear Scavengers!

(Work In Progress Footage)

In the Gene System, players will get the chance to research seeds and uncover the secrets of DNA!

Discover genes, duplicate genes, synthesize genes! Breed your very own unique genetic seeds to overcome the ever-changing and harsh apocalyptic weather.

And who knows what other unexpected discoveries await? (Look! Is that mushroom glowing? :)

Building Relocation - Temporary Placement

Finally, the building system in our farm is getting a massive upgrade!

Were you constantly frustrated by the Construction Controller in late game - when your farm is packed with buildings, leaving you no room to relocate anything?

In the upcoming update, with the brand new temporary placement feature lets you sit back, relax and rearrange your farm exactly how you want it - no more hassle!

After the patch, you can right-click buildings in the Construction Controller interface to store them in a temporary slot on the right. Whether you’re crafting your ideal farm layout or making space for future update buildings, you can now do it with ease!

Brand New Event - Long Night Festival

As we celebrate the new year in real life, Doloc town, the small town nestled in the river valley, is also celebrating its very own unique New Year event - the Long Night Festival!

Join the townies and spend a holiday filled with warmth and joy~

This festival will last for 7-days straight, from cleaning and decorating the town of Doloc, to honoring ancestors, bidding farewell to the past, and welcoming the new year in the Long Light Festival Eve.

A series of rituals and activities will bring the townsfolk together to share in the amazing holiday spirit in the apocalypse!

For players especially, you will also get the chance to obtain a full set of traditional mortise and tenon style furniture.

Apart from all the new additions mentioned above, there’s still more new content in the cooking and we’re eager to share it with you in our next dev log!

Stay tuned for our updates so you won’t miss a thing :)
