🛠️ Update 0.4.0 – “Order and Hell” “Chaos is over. Order begins. Safety is gone. Fear takes its place.”

📦 AutoStash System – Chaos, Finally Conquered The long-awaited Auto Inventory Sorting System is here! If you're near a PlotPole and have storage chests placed, your items will now be automatically sorted and stored with zero effort.

🔹 How it works: Use Stash All to instantly transfer all items from your inventory:

The system searches for matching items already inside chests and stacks them accordingly.

No UI. No dragging. Just logic and speed.

No PlotPole nearby? No problem.

If you have a matching item in your inventory and in a chest, just hit Spacebar, and it'll be transferred automatically.

🔹 Advanced Features: Want to keep certain items with you? → Set exceptions inside your PlotPole. For example: “Keep Medkits, stash everything else.”

If there's no room or no matching item sample in any chest, → The excess items will be dropped at your feet. Nothing is lost.

After sorting, the system shows you a detailed log of how many items were moved.

✅ Say goodbye to endless clicking. Now it's fast. Smart. Satisfying.

🧠 Loot System Overhaul – Finally Makes Sense No more grenades in toilets. No more car doors in sinks.

✨ What’s new: All loot is now contextual and realistic:

Weapons → Police stations, military zones

Medicine → Hospitals, medkits

Food → Kitchens, basements, fridges

Tools → Garages, tool racks

Junk → Drawers, cabinets, trash bins

Each container has its own curated loot table, matched to its real-world function.

➡️ More immersion. ➡️ More logic. ➡️ More believable survival.

“Even finding a screwdriver finally makes sense.”

🔐 Door Upgrades – Now with Metal Security You can now upgrade wooden doors to metal doors, bringing:

Higher resistance to attacks

Improved protection from the outside

A strong, secure look that screams survivor

🔩 New Crafting Material: Nails Starting with 0.4.0, building any structure or base piece will now require nails along with wood or other resources.

Real building begins now.

☣️ Contaminated Zones – Taste of Terror This update introduces the first sample of toxic areas, a preview of what’s to come in future versions.

👁‍🗨 What you’ll find: A sealed-off mine, packed with:

Rare loot

Aggressive enemies

Mutants

Pitch darkness

Entry requirements:

Respirator / gas mask – enter without it and you’ll die in seconds.

Light source – without it, you’re blind. And something is watching in the dark...

And this is just the beginning. Mines, abandoned buildings, bunkers, dungeons... True survival is about to begin.

🔧 Ongoing Development This is a milestone update, but not the final step. Here's what's next:

More varied and deadly contaminated zones

Development of special gear like hazmat suits, filters, detectors, tactical lights

Enhanced AI that reacts to light, sound, and smell

🧪 Final Notes Update 0.4.0 delivers:

✅ Order to your inventory ✅ Realistic and logical looting ✅ Fear that lingers long after you log out

And the best part?

Hell hasn’t even started yet.
