  • Fixed occasional freezes/crashes during building upgrades

  • Some memory leaks that might have caused excessive memory consumption, which resulted in long save times, freezes and crashes.

  • Rare cases of corrupted save files.

  • The laws Fish Farm Regulations and Mushrooming Regulations worked incorrectly, resulting in surplus of food generated.

  • Fixed a bug, where constructing an electrified building before a generator caused it not receiving power.

  • If people died during the expedition of the Pathfinder Camp, the camp was not changing its state properly.

  • Power Transmitter deconstruction bug. It resulted in an endless deconstruction process and no resources brought from it.

  • Balance tweak in the pace of Relations change.

We also have a"low performance guide"for you:

  • We'll be constantly optimizing the game in the following updates of which this is the 1st.

  • In fairness, please don't expect miracles - if you have a low-end machine, play at lower resolution and reduce visual effects. Please check the suggested specs below.

  • Our "Painterly" art style doesn't automatically mean it's "cheaper" performance-wise. There's plenty of detail, lighting and effects that will keep the GPU busy.

  • The game's complexity also naturally means that the more buildings/people you have, the more power it demands, which is especially visible on fast forward (more calculations in a time frame).

To start remedying all this we have now released a hotfix with more to come in the coming weeks. This relates to build number: 1.0.20823

We plan a larger hotfix on Friday to continue addressing these issues. So stay tuned.

  • In rare scenarios, survivors may choose a shelter that is too far from their
