Fade Survival - Update 0.0.4.0

🚁 New Features

🚁 Helicopters

Explore the world from above with the first generation of flyable helicopters. Scout, travel, or move loot between bases faster than ever—but watch your fuel, altitude, and landing zones.

🏠 Garages

Buildable garage door frames and garage doors are now available, allowing you to park and secure vehicles inside your base. Designed to fit a 2x2 footprint, garages keep your rides safe from looters and the elements.

📦 Vehicle Storage Modules

Attach modular storage units directly to your vehicles and turn them into mobile loot haulers or nomad rigs.

💥 Turrets

Automated defenses are online. Power them up and lock down your base from raiders, wildlife, or anyone else wandering the wasteland.

🏹 Bow & Arrows

Silent and deadly. Perfect for hunting wolves, fending off survivors, or taking out targets without alerting the whole area.

🐺 Wolves

Wolves now roam the wasteland as solitary predators. Hunt them for resources—or be ready to fight for your life. (Future updates will expand wolf behavior, adding packs and more dynamic AI interactions.)
